First off - love, love, love your icon. Calvin forever!
I took the Meyers-Brigg years and years ago (before you were born, I'm guessing). Hubby to be was studying to be a M-B tester or evaluator or some such thing that I can't remember. I also hate (and rarely complete) tests that insist on A,B,C or D - there needs to be a "sometimes" "maybe" or "none of the above" option, IMHO. However, I think the MB did a decent of job of wording the same question enough different ways that it did come up with a pretty good description of me. What I liked about it, was that after my own type was explained to me (and BF's type) and I learned more about it, it helped me understand my mother (and one of my ex's) so much better. Instead of just referring to them as "insane" or "out of touch with reality", I realized that they were just very different types from me and operating on different emotional and logic levels.
I'd say that wanting to be right would be all about how a conflict makes you feel (I'm right, dammit!), and therefore, that last description is also accurate for you. You feel you are or need to be right. :)
