I'm an INTP that tests almost identical to you, being 75% Intuitive, 55% T, and Turbulent
I feel very similar to you, I am extremely results oriented and am aware that anything I try I can most likely succeed at. At the same time though, this mindset of knowing I can succeed causes me a lot of stress when I undertake something that I cannot immediately pick up.
I also tend to be an adrenaline junkie, liking dangerous, yet technical activities like motocross, snowboarding, skateboarding, etc. I generally am very good at all of these activities until I am either: a. Competing or b. Being watched by people I care about In either of these situations I completely fall apart.
Recently however, I have found listening to music in any of these intense moments can make me "trick" myself into being more confident and performing at the level I feel I should be at. I think the main reason why this works is because of the high intuition craving rhythm and patterns to dissect and music is perfect for that. I know for myself to perform well I always feel like I have to be in a good flow and someone watching me or interacting with me messes up that thought pattern.
Recently I have been really working on taking competition less seriously in general. I know a big problem I had was always wanting to be at 100% and always go for the win if able to. Now I have changed my mindset to making sure I always learn and improve on certain focused weaknesses and go for the long gain rather than burning out from always trying to hone in and be at 100%
