The most accurate description I will probably ever find of the way I think (from a collegeboard personality test):
"INTZs (introverting, intuiting, thinking, oraganizing) are contemplative, unassuming, intellectual and strategically minded. As an INTZ, I place significant value on my ability to solve complex, abstract problems through purposeful analysis and precise thought. I am a creative thinker with a deep curiosity about how the world works. I take pride in my ability to accurately assess the physical and logical elements of the world.
I enjoy spending time alone or with a few intellectually minded friends or family members. I am an effective listener who is able to identify the points of distinction or consistency in another person's argument, theory, or opinion. I prefer to have time to think things through before I speak. I respond in a brief and articulate manner but also have the ability to convey my deeper understanding of the "big picture".
I am a serious and reflective learner. My independent and intellectually defiant nature prompts me to do my best thinking when i am alone and have the freedom to think through my decisions. I reach conclusions without being swayed by external influence and defend my conlcusions no matter how fierce the counter arguments might be. I believe that respect for authority is based on competence, not position, power, or age. I find it frustrating to work as part of a group that involves people who arenn't as quick with comprehension and mastery of ideas as I am. I naturally think in a strategic manner. I enjoy developing new theories and ideas that have the potential to be useful in meeting future challenges."
