My personality is so layered I could describe it in 1,000 words ... INTP
I was always fascinated by Lincoln (an Intp), even when people came along and mentioned other, more influential historical figures. I identify with Einstein's personality and Socrates' ideas.
One thing that I think is very peculiar about me (compared to other INTPs) is that although I'm especially good at math, I hate it. It comes natural, but I just don't like it for some odd reason. Then on the other hand I am fascinated by science, yet I cannot ever seem to wholly grasp the concepts except superficially. Maybe that comes from my need to know everything before I feel I know anything about something. Hehe, cheers to you if you even understood that sentance.
Anyway, I'm very very logical but my interests lie more in the open-ended subjects rather than the systematic. Like psychology, philosophy, spirituality, literature, etc. I like concepts more than details, but I also have a need to know and understand every little detail about it too. That may sound contradicting, but let me rephrase that. I have a strong curiosity for details, but find it too tedious to be enjoyable working them all out.
My personality is so layered that I couldn't describe it in 10 words or even 1000 words. I kinda stopped caring about my personality though I pay special attention to understanding every other aspect of myself. I have a different personality for every person I meet, and I think that they are all genuinely me somehow. It is not forced, nor does it come from a desire to fit in. It comes naturally and it has puzzled me for a long time.
When I'm not with people or when I'm engaged in my thoughts however, which is as I prefer it most of the time, I can withdraw into myself for amazingly long periods of times. Sometimes I think I would lose all awareness of a world beyond my own mind if it weren't for the people who are constantly pulling me back to it.
Also, I'm horrible when it comes to time management or extended focus on something I consider unimportant. I tend to move on once I understand something, even if it's not finished. This usually means low homework grades and high test scores. Also, I would like to know if any other INTPs notice a considerably slower thinking process, albeit moderately more thorough?

I relate to some of your comments, about being a different person with everyone you meet, and how it is not being fake, it is inexplicable. How you naturally open up to some people and not others or are funny with one person and not another, etc.
Also about how you learn. I find that I am fairly intelligent but seem be slower than many in picking some ideas. I think I need also to understand something from the ground up. In reading about my different aspects I think it may fall under Mercury sextile Saturn. Supposedly this aspect makes you very slow to learn certain subjects, but if you learn it step-by-step, you will never forget it. I found the following website to be very useful in investigating aspects.
