My INTP-ness is showing

Taken from http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html:

“Humour is another aspect which marks out the INTP. He can readily
dream up jokes about almost any situation. Taking things out of context is
the chief source of humour and many an INTP is a Monty Pythonite. The Ne is
the engine and source of this joke-generator. Needless to say, the humour
of an INTP can be pretty zany and warped and may not be understood easily
by others. The problem is that the Ne concepts for jokes are put into a
structure only by the Ti. Hence, the humour can become black and tactless,
having felt little Feeling input. Funnily enough, INTPs are dreadful
tellers of jokes (which seems to be more the domain of those with Se),
perhaps because they pay too little attention to detail when speaking
spontaneously. If you see someone smirking and laughing at some private
thought, without any obvious reason, he’s probably an INTP. INTPs may
however make good comedy writers, with the humour of Woody Allen being
particularly liked.”

And yes, I found it hilarious as well. :D
