'Result: Tritype 135/351/513. Pretty accurate. I'm definitely 1w9 and I'd have guessed 135 or 136 for my tritype.

Yeah, that's my sense of it too from what I've seen on the forum. I don't seem to get a lot of BS/nonsense for my personality. Out in the real world, my experience is one of being almost...

Same, I've tried to play Rock Band drums and actual drums at friends' houses a few times and failed horribly. Playing drums requires way more coordinated motion than I can pull off. :laughing: Re:...

You can underline a ш or draw a line over a т in Russian cursive to help resolve ambiguity. Not that English cursive is immune to this problem either, several of the letters start to look pretty...

Yes, more than most people. Sometimes it is exactly what it sounds like. Not particularly. I'm not a big fan of either texting or talking on the phone. Texting is useful sometimes, but I don't...

grinchintrees You're a moderator now? Congrats!

More or less the way you're doing it. Obviously the easiest way to move to a new place is to have some kind of job lined up before you go, but if that's not likely to happen it's ok to just go, but...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGRQJ_ZKvvU 5 years old, but this still cracks me up :laughing:

All the lights and decorations are kinda nice, but the music piped into every store is really grating, mostly because it's so universally terrible. Between the crowds and the bad music, I prefer to...

I'm impressed by their aim. Even flying low to get a look at what's on the ground, you'd want to be going at least 70 knots (80 mph, 130 km/h). :shocked:

If anything, I'd guess that people assume you're young not because of the girl in your username but because it's a reasonable assumption on the internet if you don't know. I like that PerC lets...

FlaviaGemina I've run into this kind of thing as well. At least in the US it's uncommon for anyone to openly judge you for having opposite sex friends, but I do pick up on people assuming that my...

I'm in the same position. Nothing going at the moment, and it's been that way for some time. Also worried that it's only going to get harder as I get older. Anyway, feel free to drop me a PM if you...

Yeah, I've been in the same position. The easiest way to get over a crush is probably not to see them anymore. But that's an extreme response, and it won't work for pinky because he's a coworker and...

I like Hearts too, but I'm good enough that none of my friends want to play me. Seems to be a common problem with that game. :frustrating: My ISTJ father can crush me in Hearts and other card games....

I don't buy much of anything, so overspending has never really been a problem. When you are at a supermarket can you stick to a shopping list? (i.e. Do you do well with resisting deals on...

Maybe it'll go full circle and she'll come back and replace you. :proud:

No, I don't have much stuff at all. Moving halfway around the world a couple times will do that for you. :happy: I've spent about 3-4 years of my life having only one room of my own and two suitcases...

I agree with your son here. I think it ruins a song like Longview to censor the lyrics. Either play the song verbatim or don't play it at all.

Nice, another person in my field

taste the rainbow :tongue: Always thought that one could double as a slogan for acid.

Haha, I saw the asparagus water thing when it happened and thought it was marketing genius. Whole Foods knows at least some of their customers will buy anything labelled natural or organic, so at...

I was pretty bad about skipping some of my master's classes because the professors would just read the slides. It seemed much more efficient to just read the slides myself. Occasionally skipped class...

The problem with a public performance is that it will go one of two ways: either it works, and you have a story to tell people for years to come about how you got together, or it will fail horribly...

Hey, maybe the Neanderthals were the intelligent ones and the Homo sapiens were the uncivilized brutes with a propensity for violence. :laughing:

Fiction. It's irreplaceable, reflects the creativity and imagination of the people that wrote it, and can also tell you something about the culture of the time through the topics treated and the way...

Yep, I saw the book when it first came out and thought I just want this on my bookshelf as a conversation piece, whether it's good or not. It's pretty entertaining. :proud:

I know, that was my reaction too. It's personal when this stuff happens in Paris because I lived there and I recognize these places. Right after Charlie Hebdo, when all the news sites had photos...

You can never go wrong with breakfast :proud:

That is a lot of clothes. :shocked: My return period is about 2 weeks, after which I run out of underwear and pants.

Yeah, humor can be a defense mechanism. I like to joke around in general, but it can also be an attempt to defuse tension or say something when I'm not sure how to react. Makes sense. Though I...

Cinnamon83 INTJ-ESTP is an unusual matchup, but there's no reason why it can't work. I know maybe three ESTPs, one has been a close friend for a few years and we get along very well. My guess is you...

Reminds me of a couple articles I've read Digging for their lives: Russia's volunteer body hunters - BBC News - about volunteers working to identify and bury world war ii dead in Russia The First...

:laughing:

I dunno, sometimes it's out of your control. I had one apartment that was just great for plants. Everything I put in there thrived. Surprising, too, because I had north facing windows in a cold...

I'd say zero, my mental stability is fine with or without either one. Both could boost my happiness, but neither has a kind of make-or-break importance. I'd argue that people who think being in a...

A few years ago, my roommate managed to get the sandwich shop next door to our building to deliver to our living room couch. As in, he buzzed the delivery guy into the building, told him where the...

I knew about the program, but maybe the list of languages isn't as strategic as I thought because it does line up pretty well with a list of most common languages. Spanish is an obvious omission, but...

Definitely. One semester the Air Force sent recruiters to my Russian class, which was interesting because the US was on nominally good terms with Russia at the time. Reminded me that the US (and...

Texting is nicer than calling people out of the blue, to be sure, but it's imperfect because of the character limits. I really prefer long-form writing, like forums, email, memos, research papers,...

My degrees are in civil engineering, a conventionally useful field. Never thought of doing a degree in it, but I took Russian language and literature classes as an undergrad and it was one...

Halloween (constant doorbell ringing) and New Year's Eve (fireworks) also suck for dogs. :wink:

Nope. But this conversation happens whenever I see a doctor. What are you allergic to? Every tree on the planet Oh dear... no getting away from that one, is there? Maybe if I move to...

Yeah, there's probably a lot of mistyping out there. I think the problem with MBTI is that it implies types with most of the same letters are similar, when it really depends on which letter....

No, I agree with the practice and think it would be rude not to take my shoes off. But I also grew up in a region that has snow on the ground about 5 months of the year. Everyone's shoes are covered...

I put on some music and power through it. If I feel my eyes starting to glaze over, I'll take a break and go for a walk or something, because I know that's when I'll start to make mistakes if I try...

My sympathies. It's incredibly boring staring at the ceiling for hours on end willing your body to sleep. After 2-3 hours of that I usually give up and go do something, but it's never fun the next...

Squirrel is a strange word. So is its French equivalent, écureuil. Looked up the etymology out of curiosity and the English word comes from Old French, which in turn comes from Ancient Greek. Huh,...

I agree with all of Figure 's reply, so this stuff might be related to Enneagram type. 1. Eye Contact I have a couple friends who never make eye contact, and agree that it's kind of odd. I will...

Obsession with trains, later extending to other forms of transportation, culminating in engineering degrees and a career in transportation research. :proud: One story for you, when I started...'
