This was surprisingly accurate. =D
Take this test ->

Yissss.
Introverted Sensing Thinking PerceivingLike their fellow SPs, ISTPs are fundamentally Performers (note the capital 'P' :-)), but as Ts their areas of interest tend to be mechanical rather than artistic like those of ISFPs, and unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity. On the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they launch themselves at it.
The apparently frenzied state that inevitably ensues is actually much more controlled than it appears--ISTPs always seem to know what they're doing when it comes to physical or mechanical obstacles--but the whole chain of events presents a confusing and paradoxical picture to an outsider.
ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space, which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others. They need to be able to "spread out"--both physically and psychologically--which generally implies encroaching to some degree on others, especially if they decide that something of someone else's is going to become their next project. (They are generally quite comfortable, however, with being treated the same way they treat others--at least in this respect.) But because they need such a lot of flexibility to be as spontaneous as they feel they must be, they tend to become as inflexible as the most rigid J when someone seems to be threatening their lifestyle (although they usually respond with a classic SP rage which is yet another vivid contrast to their "dormant," impassive, detached mode). These territorial considerations are usually critical in relationships with ISTPs; communication also tends to be a key issue, since they generally express themselves non-verbally. When they do actually verbalize,
ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.Like most SPs, ISTPs may have trouble with rote and abstract classroom learning, which tend not to be good measures of their actual intelligence. They tend, sometimes with good reason, to be highly skeptical of its practical value, and often gravitate towards classes in industrial arts; part-time vocational/ technical programs can be useful to even the college-bound ISTP. In terms of careers, mechanics and any of the skilled trades are traditional choices, and those ISTPs with strong numerical as well mechanical gifts tend to do extremely well in most areas of engineering. Working as paramedics or firefighters can fulfill the ISTP need to live on the edge; they are at their best in a crisis, where their natural disregard for rules and authority structures allows them to focus on and tackle the emergency at hand in the most effective way.
ISTPs with more sedate careers usually take on high-risk avocations like racing, skydiving, and motorcycling. While aware of the dangers involved, they are so in touch with the physical world that they know they can get away with much smaller safety margins than other types.
-------------------------------
The only thing I find incorrect with this assessment is that I am marked as being more interested in mechanical aspects that artistic ones. Which isn't completely true.
And the last part, about high-risk avocations, this is so true, as I may lead an unexciting and bland lifestyle, I still highly desire to do things that could put my life in danger. I'm a passive introvert who wants to jump out of planes to express every emotion I lock up inside through a minute of pure adrenaline.
"

result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless." - This is probably one of the most accurate things I've ever read in regards to me. Whenever I am sad or distressed, I'll tell a joke, it makes dealing with real problems so much easier. I spend my life pretending not to take anything seriously. I may seem insensitive and mean when I crack jokes about death or cancer or about my relationships with people or my appearance. But these jokes help me cope with the hideous reality of hitting too close to home with stuff.
According to my results, the type of people I am suited to pair with
(friendship/lover/business) are;
Identity: same types: a typological mirror-image
Complement: compatible strengths with opposite emphases
Novelty: intriguingly different: interestingly so
Hope that was some kind of insight into my brain.
Apparently I share the same quiz result as Tom Cruise lol. Uh oh.
