INTP

Took a mini-class in the MBTI communication skills today and it reminded me of a) how much I enjoyed learning about them in college, and b) how much I wish I had finished my MA already. I score as an INTP and as such the careers most suited to INTP personality types are the following
Possible Career Paths for the INTP:

Scientists - especially Physics, Chemistry (You wouldn't suggest this if you'd seen my math test scores :/)
Photographers (My favorite hobby, but I can't see myself doing it as a job)
Strategic Planners (Eh? no)
Mathematicians (See answers for Scientist)
University Professors (Ah... this would necessitate my finishing my MA and possibly a PhD too.... hmmmm)
Computer Programmers, Systems Analysts, Computer Animation and Computer Specialists (Not very interested in this field)
Technical Writers (Don't even know what that is although I suspect it involves math and mathematical formulas see answers 1, 3,4 and 7)
Engineers (See several other answers regarding my lack of math skills)
Lawyers / Attorneys (Work with them, 'nuff said)
Judges (See above)
Forensic Research (CSI Emblita! Has a ring to it but still... see answer 1 et.al.)
Forestry and Park Rangers (Um... this would require being OUTSIDE brrrrr)
Hmmm... no Project manager at a university or even International Coordinator (both of my job titles) but a lot of math stuff... apparently I am of a very unusual non-math inclined INTP personality type.
This course really hit home that although I am quite happy and competent at my job, it is not exactly where I want to be. And considering this list there is only one job for me- Professor. Better get cracking on that degree then.
I ask you- is this the face of a University professor?

Why not! If you really like to do that - go for it.
