Oooops. ENTJ.

I took another test later and came out INFP.

Contrasting, from my first testing at age 16 until my early 30s (perhaps related to having my kids?) I came out ENTP or INTP (and I do think I split E/I down the middle).

Actually, ISTP reads as being pretty fun :-)

Your responses made me giggle, partly in recognition (e.g. An organised mess.). Those tests are too simplistic, too monochrome, to be navigable, IMO. Life, and one's responses, are all about the shades of grey.
