My personality test make me an INTP, my question is; can you combine INTP with a high visual intelligence and a rather aggressive, fighting impulse? The latter being most likely caused by a high level of testosterone produced by my body.

Those sound more like SP traits. I don't connect those things with INTP, but anything is possible.

Who doesn't like to punch someone in the face every now and again?

I don't see why you couldn't be an INTP. It's all about preference, but I'm sure people will go on to make more elaborate, better researched posts than I will, so I'll just leave that to them.

It's not about punching someone in the face. I don't have many people in my surroundings right now, who make me angry.

It is more of an animalistic or pagan drive towards self preservation. Besides that i am soft as a lamb.

Sometimes i have the urge to work on machines. Isn't that another not so INTP trait?

You really want to be typed as an SP, don't you? ;)

No. It is more likely that i am continuing the debate you started.

Dude, it was a joke, hence the ;). You just keep listing stereotypically SP traits, but there's actually not enough information here for me to say if you're an INTP, or say, an ISTP.

Aggressive tendencies, visual (spatial?) intelligence, and tinkering with machines are all stereotypical male characteristics. Can't really attribute them to type. Do you have a Unix beard and an explosion of books cluttering your desk?

I know quite a few INTP males who enjoy MMA fighting and the like.

Martial arts are usually one of the most mental sports i can think about. The descriptions and understanding of forms for example.

If you trace medieval and oriental martial arts back to its roots you usually find a lot of neoplatonic and taoic philosophical speculation. Not to mention applying strategy in battles.
