Yep, have the self-study experience too. Nearly dropped out of highschool because of it. I feel formal education is based on a specific system, specific ideas, and just can't bring myself to fully accept any of them as valid enough to respect the institution.

<p>I see - what books did you self-study out of? I have a huge list of books that I collected - right now I'm reading Koch's "Quest for Consciousness".</p>

It also seems to be that INTPs are the types whose talents aren't best reflected by either grades or test scores (although some of them do quite well in test scores relative to GPA). I have lower grades and test scores than my brother - yet I'm far more inquisitive and knowledgeable than he is.</p>
