Huh. Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator stuff.
So I was procrastinating, and I stumbled upon a site with Meyer-Briggs type descriptions, and I read the one for INTP and it works really really well. I took the test a long time ago, and my indicated type was INTJ, which I still think fits, but INTP is really good, too. Now that I think about this, it makes a lot of sense - my closest scores were in the J vs. P section of the test, and they were pretty close. So I guess maybe I am somewhere between these two? I like it, a lot. It feels very familiar when I read both of them. I had never read the INTP description before...

Maybe I should take the test again and see if I've shifted to the P-side? That might be kind of depressing, though, since apparently INTPs are so inclined toward self-doubt. I guess I already know that this is true about myself, and I just don't want to confirm it. Bah. Whatever. I like who I am, more or less, I have flaws and quirks, but they are lovable quirks. I guess the flaws are what I worry about. And I do worry about them a lot... which is really not productive, and frustrates me. This is actually quite funny if you read both of the descriptions, because worrying about my flaws would be characteristic of an INTP, and wanting to do something more pragmatic than worry and becoming frustrated with myself for not making it work would be characteristic of an INTJ. Aren't I just a little bundle of conflict?
ETA: Oh, also? My happiness at/interest in using something like MB type indication to classify and categorize myself in relation to a system? Characteristic of both types. Ha. haha. oh dear.
