Am I an INTP?

I always find myself second guessing my answers on the MBTI quizzes and I feel like I am subconsciously manipulating my answers to get certain results.
So due to boredom and a thirst for answers I ask: do I sound like an INTP?

I like the learn, though I like to learn a little about a lot rather than a lot of a little. I mumble a lot and my words are constantly jumbled. A lot of people think I speak without thinking, but in most cases I have over-analysed what I was planning on saying, but even then it is hard to get out what I really meant. I like arguments in a way. I feel like I can get to know a persons mind and thoughts better and I like the heat of the moment. I am very indecisive and often let others make decisions for me unless I feel strongly of something. I am also very messy. My mother has called me argumentative, back-talking and disagreeable, though she does not realise that I am not disagreeing with her but with what she has said. I lose interest a lot in school and find myself day dreaming or 'zoning out' while the teacher is talking. I have never really put and effort into my school work. I don't tend to plan my day out, and if I do I never follow it.

Does it sound a bit INTP? Sorry for asking, I feel as though I am spamming, but I would like the know.

Fair enough. Based on the description I have given do I appear to be an INTP?

Sounds like pretty generic INTP kinda stuff.

second-guessing, seems like an iNtuitive reaction, arguing with logic vs your mother is a THINKING act, where FEELERS would probably tend to care more about getting along; also, second guessing your test questions is a P-trait, openmindedness and exploring all the possibilities, so the only one that's not clear is your introvertedness vs extravertedness; but i assume that if you are on an internet forum, then I can bet on the fact that you are more introverted

I think the best way for you to decide if you are or not is to read things like this
http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html

If you read about INTP's and it sounds like you then I think you are one. At least with me they got me exactly right! I hope I helped :)

Ne is definitely there since it often causes indecisiveness. As well as Ti because you over-analyze things. Are you more analytic(Ti) or indecisive(Ne), but maybe you should identify the Ne in yourself so we don't have to determine it based on indecisiveness.I'm not exactly sure how ENTP's thoughts occur, but INTPs usually use there Ne merely to feed their Ti with more things to analyze. In this most basic case I think we would just have to conclude whether you are more introverted or extroverted if an answer to that question isn't so obvious in your case you would have to answer the question above. . I think it's safe to say you're definitely a possible ENTP or INTP.
