Zoid, regarding personality testing, I thought I'd link this in case you missed it.

Questions are a burden to others. Answers are prison for oneself.

Its not fair... Its not right to reduse a person to a gender stereotype.. Just as its not fair to blame ones mistakes on ones gender...

EDIT: I am a INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) according to the test someone posted a link to..
A person after my own heart! *G*
Very few things make me angry the way "I'm a guy!" or "Women shouldn't have to.." or "any red-blooded man/woman" or such phrases.
First? People. Persons. Mind.
I don't care how hormonally influenced, every independent adult is capable of controlling their base response in favor of thinking and then acting. There is always room for respect.
Gender comes later, with all its messy, shifty priorities that it might entail.
Men shouldn't hide behaind their penis and women shouldn't hide behind their supposed inability to learn something to do with dirty hands. Or whatever the going stereotype is.
I like you... not that I only like people who agrees with me, but you know its a bonus. It would be a lot easier for everybody I think if we wouldn't think so much about gender. Not the social gender anyway (this is translated directly from Norwegian so I'm not completely sure if social gender is the correct term in English)

From http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP_car.html : (parenthetical commentary mine)
Quote:
ENTPs generally have the following traits:
* Project-oriented (NB: Although, everything is a project, from getting up and dressed for work, to juggling finances, to maintaining relationships, to keeping pilots from committing suicide in the pursuit of being number 1 to the airport, etc.)
* Enjoy generating ideas and theories
* Creative and ingenious (sunshine)
* Bright and capable (more sunshine)
* Flexible and Diverse (still more sunshine)
* Excellent communication skills (meh...)
* Enjoy debating issues with other people (debatable, but I'll accept it as a given)
* Excellent people skills (errr...)
* Natural leaders, butdo not likerefuse to control people
*Resist beingRefuse to be controlled by people
* Lively and energetic; able to motivate others (usually, toward the nearest exit, but, okay)
* Highly value knowledge and competence
* Logical, rational thinkers
* Able to grasp difficult concepts and theories
* Enjoy solving difficult problems (NB: See 'Project-oriented', above)
* Dislike confining schedules and environments
* Dislike routine, detailed tasks (NB: ibid; 'dislike', yes; but recognize they are essential and prefer to dispose of them as rapidly as possible and then get on with important/fun things)
ENTPs are fortunate in that they have a wide range of capabilities. They are generally good at anything which has captured their interest. ENTPs are likely to be successful in many different careers. Since they have a lot of options open to them, ENTPs will do well to choose professions which allow them a lot of personal freedom where they can use their creativity to generate new ideas and solve problems. They will not be completely happy in positions which are regimented or confining.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ENTP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.
Possible Career Paths for the ENTP:
* Lawyers (NB: Couldn't I just sell my soul to the Devil, and get on with the living on a tropical island sans extradition policies, avec incompletely clothed, simple native folk who will do my every bidding on less than $5 per day? I'd sooner shoot myself than start writing/interpreting The Law.)
* Psychologists
* Entrepreneurs (NB: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." -Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything.)
* Photographers
* Consultants
* Engineers
* Scientists
* Actors
* Sales Representatives (NB: See 'Entrepreneurs' and 'Lawyers', above)
* Marketing Personnel (NB: ibid)
* Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, or Computer Specialist
(NB: What?! No 'Air Traffic Controller'?! Perhaps I'm an Actor, doing an Oscar-worthy performance of one, for the past 20 years, hmmm? How would one know the difference between the Act and the 'real thing'? Although, I do have a "The rule book is a good place to start" mentality that is a frequent irritant to the more literally minded amongst all the people I encounter in this world, to include some of my managers...)
I am an eNTP. Others have provided links to type descriptions, so I'm not repeating them. For the most part, they reflect my outward behavior and internal motivations fairly accurately. I use 'chivalry' as a template, a moral compass, to determine which of my personality traits are desirable or undesirable, and which

Now, I need some alone time after being so extroverted.
