INTP stereotype?

Hey, I just wanted to let something out. Something that has been bothering recently since I’m in the path of choosing my future career, and what I’m about to do in life. You see, many times I’ve taken the MBTI personality test (16personalities.com) and I’ve ALWAYS got INTP-T as a result. I read it many times, and a lot of things made match to me but one. It was none other that the “reccomended” career paths INTPs should take. I’ve noticed they’re mostly scientific: Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, etc. Now, why is that? Just because some of the most reknowned INTPs were scientifics? What about those who like “non-INTP-ish” things, like music, languages or arts? Why do I mention those especifically? Well, it’s because I like them. In reality, I’m thinking on studying Modern Languages, idk why but I just love languages. I mean, like a challenge, I decided to study japanese on my own! Trying to offer an answer to my dilemma, my INTP mind started to work and I put together the MBTI and the Multiple Intelligences theory, thinking that I am still an INTP essentially, but I can have many different talents and intelligences, not just scientific ones (although I’m ok with math, chemistry and psychology).  I took the Mutliple Intelligences test and my top three are Visual/Spatial (#3), Verbal/Linguistic (#2) and Musical (#1) intelligences. My fourth one is Intrapersonal, followed by Logical/Mathematical. The least developed intelligences I have are the Naturalist, Kinesthesic/Body performance and Interpersonal intelligences (well, the last one’s kinda expected, I guess). So, what to do? I’m an INTP with Musical, Visual and Verbal intelligences. Should I just follow that path? I think I can, but I wish yo hear you guys’ opinion. What do you think? :’D

I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place. Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do… Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves. The performance of understanding that try matters are the ones we carry out as human beings in an imperfect world which we can affect for good or for ill

I regard Multiple Intelligences theory as a ringing endorsement of three key propositions: We are not all the same; we do not all have the same kinds of minds (that is, we are not all distinct points on a single bell curve); and education works most effectively if these differences are taken into account rather than denied or ignored. Taking human differences seriously lies at the heart of the Multiple Intelligences perspective. At the theoretical level, this means that all individuals cannot be profitably arrayed on a single intellectual dimension. At the practical level, it suggests that any uniform educational approach is likely to serve only a small percentage of children optimally.
