Discovering being an INTP

Lately I have been interested in Myers Briggs personality types.  I think of it as an almost pseudoscience profiling tool. Its fun and helps to understand how other people think differently.  Its major flaw I think is that is all or none.  It's S or N but not really both.  I think I am an INTP or ISTP.  I am neither a strong N or a strong T though.  Another way to say it is I am a F like INTP. I first read about Myers Briggs when I was in high school.  I didn't identify with any type profile that I read.  I think that was my problem.  I come from a very strong N family.  Since I am not a strong N I thought I was an S.  Now when I compare myself to my husbands very strong S family I seem very N.  The truth I think is that I am mostly in the middle but still over the N side.  I had missed this when I was a teenager.  When I first read online about female INTP's it struck me that was me.  It felt like they were writing about me. I had never done that before.  I wish I had read those earlier in my life.  I have felt very weird and strange compared to all the other women I am around.  I thought it was just me but now I know I just  think differently than they do.  I am more comfortable being weird now that I know there is nothing wrong with me.
