INTJ, and so is half of the IRC, lol. Figures, since we're all introverted geeks coming onto IRC to collaborate...even though we're supposedly 1% of the world's population.
I'm like 80% I, and 25% each of N, T, and J....something like that.

Taken this before, but I did it again anyway.
I like how completely false most of the description is in relation to me.

Artisan Portrait of the Crafter (ISTP)
The nature of Crafters is most clearly seen in their masterful operation of tools, equipment, machines, and instruments of all kinds. Most us use tools in some capacity, of course, but Crafters (as much as ten percent of the population) are the true masters of tool work, with an innate ability to command tools and to become expert at all the crafts requiring tool skills. Even from an early age they are drawn to tools as to a magnet-tools fall into their hands demanding use, and they must work with them.
Like all the Artisans, Crafters are people who love action, and who know instinctively that their activities are more enjoyable, and more effective, if done impulsively, spontaneously, subject to no schedules or standards but their own. In a sense, Crafters do not work with their tools, but play with them when the urge strikes them. Crafters also seek fun and games on impulse, looking for any opportunity, and just because they feel like it, to play with their various toys: cars, motorcycles, boats, dune-buggies, hunting rifles, fishing tackle, scuba gear, and on and on. They thrive on excitement, particularly the rush of speed-racing, water-skiing, surfing. And Crafters are fearless in their play, exposing themselves to danger again and again, even despite frequent injury. Of all the types, Crafters are most likely to be risk takers, pitting themselves, or their technique, against chance or odds.
Crafters are hard to get to know. Perhaps this is because they tend to communicate through action, and show little interest in developing language skills. Their lack of expressiveness can isolate them at school and on the job, and even though they hang around with their own kind in play, they let their actions speak for them, and their actual conversation is sparse and brief.
Crafters can be wonderfully generous and loyal to their friends, teammates, and sidekicks, often giving up their evenings or weekends to help with building projects or mechanical repairs-house remodeling, for example, or working on cars or boats. On the other hand, they can be fiercely insubordinate to those in authority, seeing rules and regulations as unnecessarily confining. Crafters will not usually go against regulations openly, but will simply ignore them. More than anything, Crafters want to be free to do their own thing, and they are proud of their ability to do it with an artist's skill.
Yeah, what the hell? Just about 90% or more of that is absolutely nothing like me. Even in the most general sense I'm having trouble agreeing with this. I must have picked different answers this time. I remember it being more accurate before.
Joe Butt Wrote:Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.
Mr Butt here just called me an OCD Grammar Nazi, didn't he....
Wow this is crazy good
ESTJs are very much in touch with the external environment. They know their community and usually
are pillars of strength. The best adjective to describe ESTJs would be responsible. They represent about
13 percent of the general population.
ESTJs are outstanding at organizing orderly procedures and in detailing rules and regulations. They like
to see things done correctly. They tend to be impatient with those who do not carry out procedures with
sufficient attention to those details, prescribed by those with the most experience, that will get the job
done right.
ESTJs are comfortable in evaluating others and tend to judge how a person is doing in terms of standard
operating procedures. They may, at times, be abrupt with those who do not follow rules correctly.
ESTJs are realistic, matter-of-fact, and more curious about new devices and processes than about new
principles and theories.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

First ESTP?
Spoiler
ESTP
Personality
ESTP are men and women of action. When someone of this personality is present, things begin to
happen. The lights come on, the music plays, and the game begins. And a game it is for the ES TP, the
outstanding entrepreneur, the international diplomat, the conciliator, and the negotiator par excellence.
Approximately 13 percent of the general population are of this extraverted, sensing, thinking, and
perceiving type. And if only one adjective could be used to describe ESTPS – resourceful – would be an
apt choice.
Life is never dull around ESTPs. Their attractive, friendly style has a theatrical flourish which makes
even the most routine, mundane event seem exciting. ESTPs usually known the location of the best
restaurants, and headwaiters are likely to call them by name. ESTPs are socially sophisticated, suave,
and urbane and are master manipulators of the external environment.
ESTPs are uncanny at observing people’s motivations, somehow hypersensitive to minimal nonverbal
cues, which other types might miss. And they are masters at using these observations to “sell” the
“client.” The eye of the ESTP is ever on the eye of the beholder, and all actions are directed toward this
audience. Witty, clever, and fun, ESTPs seem to possess an unusual amount of empathy, when in fact
this is not the case; rather, they are so acutely aware of minimal signals from others that they are usually
several jumps ahead in anticipation of another’s position. And ESTPs can use information gained to the
ends they have in mind – apparently with nerves of steel, engaging in what seems to others to be suicidal
brinksmanship. Other types may find this exhausting, but ESTPs are exhilarated by working close to the
edge of disaster. ESTPs are ruthless pragmatists and often offer the ends as justification for whatever
means they see as necessary – regrettable, perhaps, but necessary. Usually, however, ESTPs do not care
to justify actions, but prefer instead to get on to the next action.
I had Extraverted: 1, Sensing: 1, Thinking: 1, Perceiving: 25 hahaha
"ESTPs are ruthless pragmatists and often offer the ends as justification for whatever
means they see as necessary regrettable, perhaps, but necessary. Usually, however, ESTPs do not care
to justify actions, but prefer instead to get on to the next action."
To sum it all up in that long thing about my result...
I like to entertain people
I like to help people
I make sure everyone is happy
I constantly have to be told by people that I'm worth something so that I can feel like I actually am worth something
Obedient to rules and laws
Good working with people
Friendly with all types of people, and have hardly any enemies
And that's all that seems worthwhile for me to explain. Pretty much nails me to a T.
