Do I have an INTP personality?

I just passed a personality test out of pure curiosity and it returned INTP. I have done my research and I think it might be true, but I need a confirmation I guess.

So I've always had difficulty picking up on social cues, cause they are a mystery. I've also always been kind of an awkward person and realized since a long time that I'm not like the rest of the world. I get anxiety from people looking me in the eyes,cause I don't know what to do and things like that.

I always have this voice in my head, internal monologue I think, and this is how I think. I often zone out in thoughts and stare at nothingness with a blank stare, but this may be due to my cannabis consumption I don't know

I'm also very smart at school, passed all my classes over 90% at least apart from things like art and sports which I've never been good at. I even won a 250$ praize in math for my good work.

An other thing that I've noticed is that I always felt the fear of being like everyone else. I'd check my grades very often and if i was not the one with the best grade in my class, I would feel off. Like I'm not good enough or something.

I like being alone, I spend the majority of my time on a computer learning new things, I feel like i always need to learn. I like partying, but only with alcohol or other drugs or it's just boring. I don't have too many friends.

To finish, I can't show my emotions, cause it makes me feel weird. I don't smile often and hide it when I'm sad. It's like I can't let other people know.

So, what do you guys think?

Sorry if my English is not perfect I live in Quebec so we speak French here.

Thank you all for your future answers(f there's any lmao)

It might not be readily apparent, but MBTI is not a "personality test" in the sense you seem to think about it. Being INTP doesn't mean "socially awkward nerd", it is supposed to represent to a finer-grained description of the way your cognition works – for example the way you process information, how you approach various problems, etc. I suggest reading more about the functions in MBTI theory. From what you write, it's impossible to determine which type you fit.

INTP could be your the ordering of your cognitive functions, or not. My primary concern is that yours hasn't exactly developed fully to really make a match out of any of the 16. If you're young, (high school), expect your type to change as you grow up.

Studying the MBTI is a waste of time imo, but you're welcome to stay on the forum if you find the discussions interesting.
