'This describes me rather well.
Believe me, you are far from the only one! I could have written the same thing you did.
That's an excellent way of putting it! I know I should focus more on the tangible world, but I'm much more interested in what's going on in my head than I am in what's happening in the outside world.
I chose a square peg trying to fit into a round hole as my avatar because I have often felt like that at times in my life. I'm not sure if such a feeling suggests a certain possibility type or not.
Liberal here.
Stuck in my head today, for some reason... YouTube - Disturbed - Another Way To Die Official Music Video
It was the same for me!
I was in a gifted program in high school. I think, however, the world has had a slightly different opinion of my giftedness than my high school did! :laughing:
Happy birthday! I'll be 49 on November 20.
I'm with you!
I would definitely go for fall on the basis of the diversity of color in the leaves.
You are a Musical Thinkerhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/images/thinker_quiz/results/musical.jpg Musical thinkers: Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies Are...
Yep, it's R. Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket. He was also on a show that aired on The History Channel. The name of it escapes me, and I don't know whether or not they're still running it.
I usually like Geico ads, but not this one. I understand the humor in it is supposed to come from the disconnect that a drill sergeant/instructor would, in fact, make a bad therapist, but I just...
Found this last night and thought it was hilarious! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdOfUcEyWqk
Nope. I'll try that. Thanks for the response!
There is a thread in General Chat that asks people to post a video and I wanted to respond to it. However, I've never figured out how uploading a video works on Personality Cafe. The way I have...
Being interrupted is a huge pet peeve of mine. And please, if you need me to repeat myself, please wait until I've finished talking before you ask me to do so.
The REAL Personality Types Made Relevant This is very much tongue-in-cheek. Take it for what it's worth.
Not me. I'm Episcopalian. I've heard some people say there's not much difference between being Catholic and being Episcopalian, however.
I can see different sides of most issues, even though I may strongly disagree with a particular side.
Interesting test and, as you said, it appears to be accurate. I scored 7-9-4 which I think describes me rather well.
The two greatest loves of my life have no idea that I loved them because I didn't want to tell them how I felt about them due to fear of rejection. If I could have put my older head on my younger...
Nothing terribly complex about my thought process. I chose water because Scorpio is my zodiac sign and Scorpio is one of the water signs.
Forgot to mention other things-- Rainbows, because of the sheer variety of their colors. The way the air feels after a summer rain. My favorite colors--maroon, emerald green, orange and...
A few of the things I love... Looking at the blossoms on trees in spring. The smell of fall air. Reading an interesting book. The way soap smells.
Maybe you've always been a Perceiver who is able to call on Judging when a given situation demands it, although you may have a strong inclination toward Perceiving and may not prefer Judging.
I guess INFP's will never achieve true happiness as long as there are other less tolerant types in the world.
I agree with tolerant. The above quote is my philosophy of life.
You're right, it is definitely a burden. I have always wanted approval--perhaps I've wanted it a bit too much.
Good point. I'd like to think it's the former but in my case, it's probably the latter. What about you?
Yes, I think math, for the most part, is very much a Sensing thing.
Hmmm...that is an interesting thought, and something that hadn't occurred to me before. I am a fellow only child. Previously, I had thought that my introversion was due to me wanting to protect...
That's an interesting point you make about giving up being a J due to discouragement by life events. I think, at one time, I was a J--I even tested as an INFJ at one point in my life--but then I...
Could be. I am unable to kill insects as well. I even let houseflies live!
I sometimes get the idea to move things around in my bedroom and then, when I look for a specific thing after doing that, I can't find it because I don't remember where I moved it.
I recently took a cognitive functions test online and Te turned out to be my fifth strongest of the eight functions. Not exactly a function I can easily use.
Sounds rather like me. I will get the idea to do something, get ready to do it and then forget what it was I was going to do. I've always attributed episodes like this to the fact that I have sleep...
I have a good memory, but I tend to retain information other people would consider trivial while not easily remembering more important matters. To give you an example, I had a set of World Book...
Wow! Small world! It's nice to know someone from there!
I have a cousin on Facebook and she and her husband do this. They make it seem as if they're the only two people on earth to ever get married. In their defense, they are relative newlyweds--their...
I often find parallels between a given person's avatar and his/her professed personality type. However, it's sometimes harder to guess with some people.
I have problems with SJ's, although I find ESFJ's and ISFJ's slightly less annoying than ESTJ's and ISTJ's. I don't get along terribly well with xSTJ's.
From which county in Ireland are you? My ancestors allegedly came from County Kerry.
Make that two!
I'm from the U.S., Georgia specifically. My ancestry is Scot-Irish, with a little bit of German thrown in.
I plead guilty on both counts! :wink:
My life exactly!
For more years than I can remember, I have felt the same way every day. I dread waking up every morning because I know that, when I do, there are going to be new problems to deal with and, the older...
Another disadvantage I have found to Facebook that I forgot to mention in my earlier post is that I live in the Southeastern United States and most of my longstanding friends are of a very...'
