Identity Crisis: The Myers-Briggs Edition

I may be an INTP instead of an INTJ...

The difference between being a "P," or perceiver, and a "J," a judger is basically decision-making. Both types analyze the world and look at it similarly, usually as a collection of systems that need to be understood and analyzed. Judgers usually need to find an efficient end and applicable solution to their discoveries. Also, judgers work toward a final solution that is logical. Perceivers, however, don't necessarily need to come to a conclusion or make a significant decision. For instance, let us say there really is more than one way to skin a cat, Way A and Way B. Both the perceiver and the judger will note the pro's and cons of each method. The Judger, however will need to conclusively choose a method, while the perceiver is content to admit that both methods could be equally effective.

I'm more laid back than most in that I can readily see others' perspectives and see no need to change them. Then again, because other perspectives are readily plausible, I constantly question my own point of view. Still, I'm interested in the end result

So, the things about an INTJ that I totally get (source material here):

• value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill.
• constantly gathers information and makes associations about it
• The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand.
• are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead.
• They are the supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency.
• INTJs spend a lot of time inside their own minds, and may have little interest in the other people's thoughts or feelings (this one seems a little rude, and I have to admit that it's true, but I work to overcome this apathy :))
  

And the things about an INTP that I totally get (source material here):

• "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions
• minds are constantly working to generate new theories, or to prove or disprove existing theories.
• likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people.
• very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand.
• has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. (double tap on this one)
  
• it is extremely important that ideas and facts are expressed correctly and succinctly.
• are likely to express themselves in what they believe to be absolute truths
• may be prone to abandoning a project once they have figured it out, moving on to the next thing.
• A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (intuitive thinking) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well have overlooked some critical bit of data.
