Personality Types *Vote in Poll*

Here's the place to post your results of the Jung-Myers-Brigg typology personality test. What do you get? What does it mean? What famous people share your type?
Post away!
The link to the official test is here (when you get your results you'll have several links to various explanations of what the letters mean): http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
My result is: INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) I read a few different website's descriptions of the type, and here's a few things they say:
-Problem-solving is highly stimulating to [INTJ's], who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out.
-INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
-Although they are highly capable leaders, [INTJ's] are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead.
-Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research.
-[INTJ's] do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.
-INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.
(there was obviously a lot more information about INTJ's, but I chose a few of the bits that especially sounded like me.)
Famous people (literary and real) with the INTJ type:
Susan B. Anthony
Jane Austen
C. S. Lewis (:D)
Hillary Clinton
John F. Kennedy
Mr. Darcy
Gandalf the Grey
Interestingly, I was recently told by someone I consider highly knowledgable in personality types that the character of Claudia Kincaid (of From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler), who I love and find very similair to myself, is also an INTJ
So, post away! I'm curious to see what everyone is, and what are the more "popular" types on NW.
