Start with those you can relate to: my fav INTP role models are inspector Morse and mr. Spok.  ...|||Rule out INTP's because they are horrible liars.  ESTP's would be the best all around.  ISTP for tech missions.  ENTJ's to coordinate missions.|||What used to motivate me is just simply walking my dogs for an hour but I moved recently and it is too cold and hilly most of the time to do that everyday anymore.  Those walks gave me time to think...|||Thanks!  I have discipline, curiosity, desperation, interest or dire need so far.
