Funny, I have almost exactly the same result: deep I, N, and T, fuzzy between J and P. (Actually, this is changing with age: I was moderate J, now I'm almost in the middle between J and P, depending on mood.)Of course, being INTJ, I would view life like that, wouldn't I...
See? They're everywhere!
Also that explains so much about you.
Yeah, I'm very intensely INTJ. Well, not so much so on the J-P spectrum, but definitely very strongly on the other dimensions.
Funny, but not surprising.
We should all meet up and say nothing to each other
Yup -I just continued it by quoting the film (albeit a different scene altogether).

my weakest one is on the N/S side.
Being on the border between INTJ (Mastermind) and INTP (Architect), I've often joked that my Keirsey Temperament Sorter's archetype in the Town Planner.
Between INTJ (Mastermind) and ISTJ (Inspector), yours would be, mh, the Police Commissioner?

I retook the test to see what my leanings are, as I know I am borderline on a couple things.
I - 56%, a "moderate" preference toward introversion over extroversion
N - 62%, a "distinctive" preference toward intuition over sensing
T - 12%, a "slight" preference toward thinking over feeling
J - 33%, a "moderate" preference toward judging over perceiving
Given that I am not far off from an INFJ, I guess I am some combination of "Mastermind" and "Confidant," myself.
I'm not sure I really like the "Mastermind" label, though. I've heard INTJ described as the "System Builder," which seems more appropriate for me. A "mastermind" implies more leadership qualities than I think I probably possess. I can lead, but it's not really my preference to.

You seem way more INTP to me than INTJ, but I could be wrong!
So who here isn't INTJ? :P
As I said, I'm getting mellow with age. I was quite uncopromising in my youth.
From what I've read, what puts me in the INTJ field is my love for classification systems (organizational tables, catalogues, mathematical models, etc.), and the fact that I am an obsessive planner (to steal from The Hunt for Red October, I don't even go to the bathroom without a plan).
On the other hand, I have a knack for the use of language, a INTP trait. Also, I guess I am a bit more sociable than the typical INTJ, with more considerations for social niceties as smal talks, chit-chats, and even flirting. But that could just be that I'm Italian.

I always pegged you as INFP. I've also noticed that INTJ's seem oddly smitten with INFP's, at least online.

I agree with you there about the Iguana Kestra. And I'm certainly not an INTJ, LOL
Not an INTJ either!
INFP here. Shocking I know.
Twins! teacake is right, I'm INFP as well.
We INFJs continue to be thin on the ground, it seems. I sense that I'm outnumbered by the INFPs and INTJs here.
We must breed, to increase our numbers.
I've been doing a bit of research to help explain it. Apparently, it may have something to do with "shadow functions." The shadow functions of an INTJ mimic an ENTP, and the shadow functions of an ENTP mimic an INTJ.

INTJ's and INFJ's are amongest the rarer types, but the country in which you reside can slightly affect the percentage found in the population.
Though as an INTJ, I feel I must ask is this thread working, and regardless of the answer can it be improved?
The answer is, quite obviously, yes and yes.Though as an INTJ, I feel I must ask is this thread working, and regardless of the answer can it be improved?
