Were you INFJ/INFJ-T or another form of INFJ?
Commander (ENTJ-T)

I don't know, whichever is most egocentric.
Some of these questions don't feel very useful. Who is going to answer 'disagree' to anything that involves your mind wandering often, or something like "you have always been interested in unconventional things" ?

Well, The point is to answer honestly if you truly want to know what your personality type is. Otherwise whats the point? Knowing that your lying to get a "Good" (Which isnt a thing as a personality type is subjective) personality type isn't going to make you feel good about yourself.
Anyway these should always be taken with a pinch of salt and i think it would be cool to get a friend to answer the questions how they think you are and compare the results.

Interesting, I'm “THE ARCHITECT” (INTJ-T), forming just 2% of the population, wow so rare xD

I would agree is my most dominant aspect, but personality goes with a bunch of characteristics.
Edit:
The Logician personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population,"
And seems many of those are here

I don't think I am the only one who likes tower defense! Glad to see you... didn't even know you were on SG, thought it was simply because I was playing Space Run Galaxy! :D

Your personality type is: Debater (ENTP-t)
Guess it would shift a bit if we went back a year or 2. But it is still fitting.

I got INFP-T, with a 51/49 score on F, so I was nearly an INTP. My Introvertedness score was 100%, haha. ^^;
I take these every so often, and I used to get INTP all the time, but the past few years it's been about 50/50 INTP/INFP, which this test backs up. Though there are oddball results that come from either poorly-made tests or a random mood swing on my part, could be either--but I never, ever get E. ...Which this test also backs up. -holds up sign reading "Professional Hermit"- XD

That's really interesting, seems like you're really balanced between Feeling and Thinking for acting. How old are you, if I may ask?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm 26. :3
Balance sounds good, right? Although in practice, that "balance" just makes me really, really indecisive. To the point where I once had to list three of my traits (for jury duty, WTF), and "indecisive" was the first thing I put down. ...After spending several minutes being indecisive about what to say. XD
I tend to deliberate choices for ages (even small ones; the cereal aisle is hell), but a lot of the time I get fed up, say "screw it", and pick something at random. My gut will say one thing, and my mind will say another, and in the end I just get a headache.

That's what I was trying to check, if you were undecisive or balanced!
The only thing that's not very good to be balanced is the introversion/extroversion axis, and early on the primary function, which are not your case.
I guess your struggle is tougher because both feeling and thinking are used to judge, so you're really caught between these opposites when taking a decision and acting upon it.
I asked because it it happened later on, it COULD be a synonym of balance, like being able to use both when needed and more appropriate, rather then being lost in between them!
And indeed, a good call is to learn to say "whatever" in your case and roll a dice, at least on minor things, otherwise you'll really be stuck too often.

I've taken it a few times in professional settings, always get INTJ.

ENTP-A here, by varying degrees, no switches though, be pretty solid.

I used to be an INTJ (Architect) but I've apparently changed to a INTP (Logician). :p They both sound uncannily accurate to me anyway...
Comment has been collapsed.
For me it's the opposite. I had INTP once, and INTJ ever since, but as a whole, I still think the INTP describes me better. I guess my Intuition takes me away from reality, but I rarely act or decide things based on it, unless it's something that I'm creating. So I guess I'm tempted to live a live of pure sheer intuition whenever possible and also turns to it whenever I can, but since life demands me to act and take decisions, I ofter do it just by thinking about it.
It's actually hard to know if using empathy to relate to others on your choices is actually a matter of feeling or thinking... it's a really gray area, so I guess it's easy for that axis to be mixed up, so shifting to INTJ and INTP may happen more than often - both in results as well in life as a whole.
I mean, do I need to disregard everyone feelings to be using my thinking function, really? Sometimes you may use it to some extent logically as some advantage, or even as a matter of ethics or a moral choice, not a natural tendency.
I actually was that sort of "robot" once in my life, but after a long relationship, getting married and all, of course I had to become more mature about other people's feeling and react different to that instead of ignoring them for my convenience. The tendency is still there, though, I just learned to balance the scales a little...

Well, I surely didn't expect to prompt such an answer!
Yeah, I believe the lines between INTP and INTJ can be very blurry.
I act and make decisions all the time, since I'm often put at the helm of projects. The need to get stuff done and people's lack of will to take responsibility and do the job often lead me to accept, though it's not really a role I enjoy and would choose out of my own volition - I loathe being the center of attention (case in point: the hospital I work and study at has decided to partecipate to a regional contest with a short VN some of us had created for the children there and I can't even begin to describe how uncomfortable I am with having to do this thing.) I also tend to end up being the one who makes decisions and comes up with ideas in my family and amongst my friends. It's been frustrating me (I enjoy organizing/managing projects, but I'm more of a whatever/whenever it hits me kind of person when it comes to actually doing stuff), so it may be one of the reasons I've been gravitating more towards INTP lately.
I mean, do I need to disregard everyone feelings to be using my thinking function, really?
Feeling and thinking are far more intertwined than that test gives them credit for, in my opinion. Emotions follow their own patterns of logic, which should not be disregarded - and they often have a basis in the rational. So no, I don't think so, though I actually am kind of guilty of being 'too analytical' and trying 'to frame feelings' in a more logical light, and have been accused of 'not understanding' by a couple of friends in the past. I've invested a great deal of energy and time into improving this aspect of myself and also learnt to balance things a little. I don't think I've ever ignored someone's feelings for my own convenience, though I more often than not seem to favour analysing the situation and giving people practical advice over chatting about feelings. (Friends and strangers alike nowadays often come to me with their problems and treat me like their psychoanalyst...)
Coincidentally, one of my 'nicknames' back when I was a child, painfully shy and overachieving was 'the Robot' and I was harshly bullied for it. Ironically enough, this was probably the foundation of what one could call my actual 'robotic period', since I ended up shutting people out and just muting my feelings for years, until l rebuilt some sort of confidence in myself and people. Overall, I would say logic has become a natural tendency for me; but as long as someone's introspective enough to know what their personality's like, a rational approach and disregarding feelings do not necessarily correlate.

Indeed, feeling is logical as well. It's just a different area of the brain, more primitive, related mainly to immediate punishment/reward and attachment as a whole. The point is it's really hard to isolate a complex answer to just one area of the brain, right? As we use them together, so it's really impossible to act purely on one of them, unless brain damage, some trauma or some personality disorder is involved.
Also, regarding your early experiences as a robot tells me your first developed function was Thinking, and it's your main tendency, so your life experiences may be reforcing that.
I'm currently working as a programmer, but to be honest, I use a lot of intuition on it. I like to program backwards at times, to prioritise something that's funnier rather than what's more important, and so on, to feel better while doing it... so yeah, I guess my Intuition is overlaping my Thinking on my routine.
But in bad situations (forced social interactions, mainly), I usually become "the robot" again easily after a while, trying to reduce the impact of the surroundings (people) as a whole on me.
I also think it's funny that while we're caught between INTP and INTJ, yet there's a person above caught between INFP and INTP... so indeed, we should probably see the whole circle of personality types as a living gradient, not as separate labels - it's just something that tests can't really measure appropriately.

While I'm not a programmer, you just described my preferred MO, haha.

This resonates with me. I tend to retreat into cold logic when particularly stressed, such as when I'm surrounded by a lot of people (it used to be a real phobia for me, due to past experiences) and it can be pretty hard for me to have forced, casual social interactions. I actively dread them. I can come across as very aloof and disinterested in these circumstances, unless we find a specific subject we enjoy talking about. I realize it's a defense mechanism but I can't really shake it off. I work in a rather stressful environment though, and it's been helpful to me since it prevents me from panicking during emergencies, as my colder and analytical side kicks in.

Oh definitely. It can be fun to label things and even helpful for brevity and understanding's sake, but personality types are an everchanging gradient and probably far too complex a subject to completely define or grasp. Subjectivity also plays a particularly prominent role in this test. The questions are too vague and each of the test takers has his/her own standards that can be applied to them. (ex: a short while ago I took a similar test with a friend - one of items was something along the lines of "Do you consider yourself to be someone who reads a lot" and we were asked to rate ourselves on a scale of 1 to 5. We both answered 5. She has read 20-30 books in her whole life, I read at least 30-50 books a year). It does work as a measure of what we perceive our personality to be like.

I suspect even though it is a VERY uncommon personality most will be an INFJ or INFJ-t (Me)
