Are You an Analytopath?

There's a subtle difference. The "core" traits of these two personality types are NT - intutive and thinking - and so these belong to the same larger group, the NTs. The other three are NFs, SJs and SPs. NTs are the most rational of the four groups. The differing trait for you, judging vs. perceiving/probing, is secondary to your core traits of intuitive thinking. This would mean you are simply flexible - at times you are able to be more judging, sturctured, rigid, and yet other time more probing, spontaneous and flexible. This would probably give you certain advantages that a strict J or P type wouldn't have.

I actually believe I border on being an INFP, although my scores put me clearly in the INTP range. I can definitely relate to INFPs and can see that side to me: I'm very artistic, empathetic and mystical. yet my rational, analytical side is in the forefront. If you were to met me in person, that's what you'd see. However for me, this isn't so cozt: I feel that my NT-ish is in conflict with my NF-ish and keeps that part of me hidden and surpressed. For a long time I indulged my NF-ish interests in private, even secrecy, such as mysticism and art. But now I'm getting better at intergrating these two parts of me, even though it's not reflected in my scores.

That connotation of psychopathy is now obsolete (see also psychopathology). By most current uses, psychopathy refers to a particular personality disorder that is closely correlated with antisocial personality disorder but is not defined in the same way. Antisocial personality disorder is defined in terms of breaking social norms and rules, using aliases and conning other people, getting into fights and committing assaults, and lacking remorse after doing something to hurt someone. Psychopathy is a much better researched concept, and it is defined by such personality traits as superficial charm, arrogance, shallow emotions, failure to take responsibility for own actions, rashness, lying, lack of empathy and moral conscience, etc.

If you mean you felt guilty about feeling ... I've been looking for a way to describe that
