Hello everyone, INTPs I presume... Since I am for bluntness I'll come right out and say what I want to say.
I'm very frustrated over the fact that I cannot figure out what IN-- I am. I have been trying to find a consistent answer for about a year, give or take. It is something I wanted to figure out on my own, partly because I thought it would be simple. Partly because I've told myself it was a trivial/silly pursuit and told myself to give it up. However it continues to haunt me.
The first time I tested I was an INTJ. But I'm not very logical and I don't think I'm that confident. After this first test I've gotten several different IN outcomes. I finally came to deciding myself that I might be an INTP, not because of what I am necessarily, or what I'm prone to, but rather what I dread.

On this website it lists disfavored careers and I found that INTP was the only list the definitely had careers I didn't want and careers I wouldn't care for. On the other IN disfavored careers I would find careers I would actually like and be prone to. I know the descriptions change from site to site, but when looking through the personality descriptions on similarminds.com I did find most of my likes measuring up with INTP pretty well. Of course I don't consistently result as an INTP, every site has a slightly different description and when I saw people posting here I wasn't sure.
Current Career:
I'm in college right now and don't have a career as of yet, but it looks like I might aim to be in foreign language. Mostly because I can't figure out what else to do with myself (I'm 20 btw). I am not prone to language though and have had issues with the left hemisphere of my brain.
Introversion/Social:
When I was a child I couldn't keep relationships and didn't really understand why. Now that I look back I got bored with people and didn't invest in relationships. They were very tiresome, even annoying after a while. I still consider people my friends if we don't hang out. Actually I prefer it if people leave me be for a "recharge/hibernation" time...
Habits:
I'm very messy (I'm a little overwhelmed with clutter, but even when I'm doing something I'll be prone to play with the medium [Lately I've been trying to paint a room and I get very distracted doing a task like this. I end up with more paint on me than on the wall and I'm tempted to put my hands in the paint and finger-paint the wall {I did that to some extent..}]), my way of thinking isn't linear which hurts my ability to focus on one task, I'm indecisive most of the time. I can be rather impatient, but I like games and I like reading. I love art (especially the sad and strange). I've tried my luck at several artistic mediums (I don't seem to have raw talent for any however). I write, because it is an addiction... I'm interested in the connection between belief, theology and sciences, theory and truth.
For the most part I can be so "in thought" I don't pay attention to my surroundings, particularly if they lost my attention. As I get tired it's nearly impossible for me to concentrate on the outside world (unless whatever is outside has a lot of application and interest).
Thinking
Rationality wise, I like exactness. For instance, in science I don't rely on the idea that all science is concrete. Science is compiled of theories, based on what we can observe of the natural world. Therefore if the natural world is dynamic so science. It's a learning process, so to me that is the exactness of it.
I don't necessarily believe in absolute truths. I'm afraid that might be confusing. I'm not the best at conveying thoughts when I'm sorting them.... On the very base level let's say I don't believe in any truth, above that is human perceptions , above that is the structure and labeling humans put to perceptions (this is what I would call exactness)....an-y-way
So do I seem like an INTP? An INTJ? An INFP? An INFJ? Something else entirely?
A Woolly Mammoth?
