Score you received

Interpretation

Other comments/ Observations

The result I got from this test is INTP-Introverted, Intuition, Thinking and Perceiving. Extraverted-22 and Introverted 23; Sensing- 20 and Intuition-25; Thinking-25 and Sensing-20; Judging-15 and Perceiving-25

As per this test result I am analytical and impersonal who is interested in underlying principles and reserved together with intellectually profound. The results show that I have deep insights and I am prolific in generating ideas and open to a range of alternatives. For an introvert the source is from internally and a person whose result is intuition he/she believes in the information from the imaginative world. A thinking person takes decision from the logics not by considering the feelings. And a perceiving person always explore alternative options for everything.

I partially agree to the result that I got from this test because I always believes that I am an extrovert person and a sensing person who tries to gather information from external world rather than from imaginative world.
