'This test wasn't even close on my gender, age, or MBTI type.
Interesting. I checked out the GoTo Quiz. It looks like maybe it takes all the sorting questions from Pottermore? Anyway, with this expanded quiz, I got Ravenclaw at 84% and Slytherin at 73%. I'm...
A lot of ENTPs test Slytherin. I'm kind of a Slytherclaw. I wanted to be Ravenclaw before I read the Ravenclaw description from Pottermore. After reading that, I was hoping more for Slytherin...
I probably did a lot of drugs in my youth... but I don't remember. ;) I do know that I don't do drugs now.
I like dogs and wish them well and never want to see them abused etc. But I LOVE cats. I live with two of them.
You know you're a thinker when... A good student comes up about 8 points short of an A in the course you teach. You look through the recent work to see if perhaps you were too tough and could...
My favorite is seeing trees in which children are older than their parents. ;) But to be honest, my own tree is a combination of thorough research and brainstorming, and I wonder how much of this...
I got interested in the German when the autosomal results gave me unexpected levels of Scandinavian and Eastern European. I expected some Scandinavian just by virtue of having British Isles ancestry,...
I guess I have a different take on this. I do a lot of academic work, and I don't plagiarize ideas. But in researching my family, I do take hints from distant cousins. Maybe it's the Ozark girl in...
DNA is so much fun! I took one autosomal test, and now I can't stop finding out more and more. It's really become a major fascination of mine. I1 and U5a1b... sounds like you've got Nordic...
In terms of documented records, I can get my direct paternal line back to the 1650s in Virginia. Well, actually, there's a land grant in 1650. Then there's a 100 year gap between the land grant and...
Well, in fairness, she did say 80s Dance Parties. So... no Disco Balls. Torn T-shirts and Jeans and time to Rock the Casbah! Oh and yeah... that newfangled VCR contraption thing! Make sure it...
Yes, exactly. :) In recent years, the trend has definitely been towards separating these two groups into divergent generations. SEO! I'm loving it! Friday night dance parties and pong FTW!
FWIW, I don't like the name either. But the name has been in circulation for over a decade. My friends and I - years ago - came up with BoXers (in between Boomers and Xers) to describe our...
Actually, it is my contention that the Baby Boom is not a generation at all. It is two sub-generations of different generations welded unnaturally together by a single demographic event (i.e., lots...
LOL. Or my answers... Did you go to Woodstock? No, but I did know a girl in college who hit Sid Vicious with a beer bottle. Or did you see the Beatles in concert?
I'm all in favor of a GenJones forum. The Baby Boom is a demographic event, not a generational event, and it's just weird always being lumped in with the older Boomers. They invented the Summer of...
I'm willing to entertain that possibility, but can you explain?
Another female ESTP: Kara Thrace (a.k.a. Starbuck) from the re-envisioned BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. (at least I've always seen her as ESTP).
Violet may indeed be ISTJ or ESTJ. As for Maggie Smith... Alan Rickman (who worked with her on Harry Potter) has described Maggie Smith as perhaps the wittiest person alive. He could never keep a...
@pneumoceptor - Thanks for confirming the ineffable nature of your holistic perception. As for movies... well, yeah, I can get caught up in an emotional plot too, especially if it's well done. If...
Celebok - Excellent insight into the S/N divide. I felt completely at home watching the N-dom video. I can get overwhelmed, though, with too many concrete, sensory details - unless I can see them in...
Probably not. I was 19 when I decided that I needed to figure out the meta-answer to life, the universe, and everything. Intense analysis commenced. I think it's more a youth thing, though, than a...
INTP because even though your comment seems pretty random, it has its own internal logic. ;)
I watched 2 of the videos (I'll get to the third later). I found the holistic/discrete processing part interesting too. What I think happens with me is that I do get non-linear big picture...
I'm not a clinician by any means, but just based on the OP, this person sounds possibly Borderline Personality Disorder to me. (threatening suicide? - typical BPD maneuver, unless of course he's...
*deleted content* sorry... double post
Yeah, the Ne/Si seems clear to me. Her world is just all over the place. I'd say INFP.
It's a great album from start to finish. But the finish is my favorite track... A Day in the Life.
Some classics: Play Misty for Me Misery Vertigo Sorry.... Didn't see you wanted modern/underground.
No worries. Like I said, I was just replying to a question about methodologies used on the forum. Someone upthread suggested that a lot of people may be typing based only on type descriptions or...
LOL. I was answering a question from upthread about what sorts of measures go in to members' determination of type. I was not justifying my N preference. I have no need to justify it.
My impression from reading the Forum is that most members have taken at least some sort of test and many have taken multiple tests. I have taken online tests, the official MBTI Step 1 and Step 2,...
Well yeah it's horrific. But the scene I'm really focused on is the one with one of Frey soldiers bragging about it... before Arya offs him. In the book, we just hear about it in KL. Here, we get a...
Glad you got a laugh! Not the ones written for the show! ;) But seriously, I thought the Arya scenes in this episode were just brilliant, giving us a 1st person perspective of the RobbWind...
No, it didn't happen that way in the book. Ygritte shot Jon outside the tower when Summer (Bran's wolf) attacked to help Jon escape and Jon rode off. She got Jon in the leg but not in the shoulder....
In fairness, Dany didn't start the cult. The freed slaves started the cult. She accepted it. Same result, but different point of origin.
I type you ENTP. ;) Brilliant!
The ending for the finale was exactly what the episode title indicated, but not what the book fans wanted to see... All of the book fans I've talked to wanted the episode to end with the awakening...
I think they are unlikely to hire either a high-profile movie actor or an American actor to play the 12th Doctor.
John Hurt is a previously-unknown older incarnation of the Doctor (possibly the version that the 9th Doctor regenerates out of). We will find out more about him - and why the 11th Doctor is so...
A serious flaw, I believe, with typing Gatsby as ENTP is that the object of his devotion is Daisy. ENTPs make love to ideas. Daisy doesn't have any. She is an insipid, boring airhead. No ENTP...
Gatsby as ENTP? He's a romantic. Everything he does - including his shady business dealings - is done to attain a non-existent romantic ideal. Most ENTPs would get distracted by about a billion other...
No Russian-invented sass in Season 1.
Your patience will be rewarded. ;) We don't really even start to get a glimpse of Littlefinger in all his glory until the second half of Book 3. As I said before, he's playing what I'd call the...
It's an ENTP, with some cameos by other functions before reaching the inferior.
Sounds like what you really want is William Hatnell. ;) But is that going a bit TOO wibbly wobbly timey wimey?
Stay tuned. Assuming the TV show does not deviate too far from the books, Littlefinger hasn't even gotten started yet.
To be honest, Littlefinger's most significant plots would involve spoiler territory for you. He'll start to ramp up his game in the next season of the show (second half of the third book). We're...
Here's one for the Lannister fans in the House... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Tm4nCB3P0 Enjoy your victory while you still can. ;)'
