I got INFJ. I read the notes on what it is supposed to mean but didn't understand a word. 
I'm doing the whole who am I where am I thing at the moment and enjoy these although not really sure of their worth.
I did a test recently which said I was slightly autistic, no not artistic!
Whilst I am married with two kids I don't fit the usual, however, it seemed to explain a little about my mind set particularly around others.

You do realise of course that the word "nutter" is not politcally correct terminology ?? Would give the PC Police cold sweats and terminal apoplexy 
Yes!!!!!!! Nutters of the world unite :You_Rock_

I am INTP as well, and so are quite a few others by the looks of it.
I must say that I think the term basket-case is more discriptive of me than Nutter. We do all aim to be a couple of bits of kit short the full rucksack.
A student nurse scored me for aspergers (autisic spectrum disorder) a couple of years ago. I came pretty close. I can be really obsessive about a small range of subjects and I don't do people well, but I have a high empathy level. She trying research how normal autisic traits where in the general population for an essay.

I was caught here - I'm more E/I but the wording, IMHO, would make every E go for I
if that makes sense Phil.

Hmm how strange I'm the same, but you would have thought empathy and interacting with ppl would go hand in hand so to speak.
Shrug I believe the expression "Nowt as strange as folK" probably covers a multitude of sins
ISFP..... although to be honest I could have mioxed and matched from any or all the descriptions.
I remember something like this being aired on the BBC last year.. I did the test, and where I was'nt sure I cjhose the first one up.. I did'nt recognise the end result, so I wnt back and this time chose the second in my 'don't know' conundrum. Did'nt recognise myself there either!
But if I took elements of the fist and second then I found a resonable fit
Just goes to show that if you manipulate results, just a little bit, you can be anyone you want!

I come up with ISTP and I chose the TP easily but I I had difficulty deciding the first two answers as I could be both or either depending on what is needed at the time and what fits, if that makes sense?
And I am only a little nuts, compared to you lot anyway!

Eventually settled for INTP but I didn't very feel comfortable with answering some of the questions as one (exclusive)or another as I didn't they fell easily into an either or category situation.
So that should be taken as a flexible and only vaguely INTP

For anyone who is bothered that they can't decide one or more pairing e.g. E/I, S/N, T/F, or J/P then there are a number of things you can do to try and clarify your basic personality type:-
1) Think back to when you were in late teens/ early twenties. You were probably more true to your innate personality type then. Over the years some people learn the strengths of the opposite type. Older people often come out fairly balanced across the 4 different pairings.
2) Do some more detailed questionaires on the subject. There are quite a lot out there.
3) Ask someone else who has some experience of these personality type questionnaires.
4) Look at some of the detailed profiles of the different personality types and see what fits you best. e.g. http://www.personalitypage.com/portraits.html
5) A small number of people probably are fairly balanced over one or more of the 4 axes.

Im an ISTP, and looking at the results...I am not alone! And there was me thinking i had a unique personality. 
And there was me thinking i had a unique personality. I've just noticed something.....
why is ISTP the only category in italics ????? is there something going on here

It means that is what you picked in the poll.......bikething said:I've just noticed something.....

ISTP, but could have went a different way depending on mood, And I am surprised how many others are the same.
Getting to the understanding of why there are many ISTP's and INTP's would be a very interesting psycological and philosophical Quest, and I think to get there we all need to have a big hunt, followed by a few dozen gallons of nettle beer and a big ased plot for many little fires and tipis.
