What are INTJs/INTPs?

[/ QUOTE ]

People who are introverts, can read and process information intuitively, use their heads when making decisions and tend to be organizers (J) or ones that don't organize and change decisions as the situations warrant (P).

Those that know Myers-Briggs will know that the explanation is a crude one, but it's the gist.

Took it.

A lot of my answers seem to contradict each-other.

I seem like a totally different person when I am on the job.
That is because I start getting extremely emotional when I lose more then 10K; and unfortunately that happens quite often.
I have teared down the house on numerous occasions.

As long as it is job-related, I am ambitious, work hard, study to improve my skills.

Non job-related; I'm the laziest sun of a gun you've ever seen!

In the survey many questions are not really clear whether they are job-related or not.
That accounted for many seemingly inconsistencies in my answers.

It will be interesting to see how most people answered a lot of those questions. When do you expect results?

No you're not the opposite!
I was a high-school dropout no good son of a bitch hated every job I took.

That all changed when I saw the light!
That light is the job that I have for almost 15 years: poker player!

I'm similar to sdfsdf in that school/work carries little weight in my ambitions, while programming/poker are interesting enough for me to literally do much more than read/code/play to become the best I can be.

I'm an INTP, and I highly suggest the OP to look into MBTI and read the analysis of INTP/INTJ personality types.

I'm interested in the results of the research!

Which is interesting, as ESTJ is probably the ultimate type for poker, in as much as MB types mean anything at all.

Sure - J/P, as far as I can tell, is the most nebulous part of MB types.
