I have always been fascinated by science, and I have worked in a lab, but I'm not a scientist. I was an English major in college.

The first useful poll I've seen in a while. It will be nice to have somewhere to direct people who are convinced we're all housed together in a lab.
In terms of occupation, MBTI isn't about what you do, it's about how you do it. Regardless of the job at hand, an INTJ will tend to be systematic, logical and efficient.

When I finished my thesis in mechanical engineering the university offered me a scholarship for PhD, I refused it, working in a lab seems to me dumb the real thing is out, Go after it and explore it.

I'm studying psychology and neuroscience, but haven't been in a lab yet.
I actually said, "damn you, MBTI," when I switched my major. I refused to take a fourth year of science in high school, intended to go to school for art, went through a couple of non-science majors, and settled on psychology only to become obsessed with the neuroscience classes. Damn you, MBTI.

Depends what you mean by scientist. If it means working with science, then yes (micro-electronics in my case)
If it means working in a lab, doing experiments, then no.

The stereotype that stereotypes aren't always true is true.
Thanks, I like your walking stick.

...decidedly less of us than are masterminds.
Stupid poll. The second option "No, That's just a silly stereotype." should just be "no". Now that you added an opinion to the "no" answer, I can't answer your poll because the right answer isn't in there.

Do structural engineers count as scientists?
Computer Scientist.
Also, for the purposes of this, I vote we count any and all engineering as science being applied to the real world, which I think is probably even more in the vein of the INTJ, what with the desire to actually *do* things and not *just* speculate on them.

Does it count if they let me into the lab? I publish in lab science but don't actually do that much of it...

That sounds exactly like me. While I love Psychology, and plan on perusing it (in a sense, anyways; I'd rather be a Psychiatrist), I've got a special place in my brain for neuroscience, and I find myself applying it more than other people would probably like.
I couldn't not hear that in House's voice. It was incredibly eerie.
