I am not one to put much value in personality tests. They
have their uses and their worth, but I dont think everyone
can be boiled down to 16 generic personality types (as is
proposed by the Myers-Briggs test).

On such tests I usually come out as an INTP; sometimes as
an INTJ; and other times as an ENTP.

Nonetheless I found two descriptions of the INTP type
that do resonate with me and describe quite acurately on
what has been described as my “bad temper” (“mau feitio”).

I particularly found interesting the characteristics
of “INTPs do not like to lead or control people” and
“can become intellectual dilettantes as a result of their
need to amass ideas”…

Still on the same subject I found a couple of other
pages that are particularly interesting if you do the
“Favored Careers” intersection:

There are some that I already did or do; the “game
designer” option has been on my mind many times; but
the “assassin” option had never crossed my mind! :-)
I wonder what the monthly pay is… LOL
