'I'm pretty well known amongst the people I know in rl for surviving on very little sleep. Sometimes it's because of procrastination, sometimes because of insomnia. I've done the ~48 hours with no...
Get drunk and jump off something high, like a bridge or cliff.
Conceptual: 27 Adventurous: 22 Social: 15 Practical: 8 Figured I'd be some kind of blend of mostly Conceptual and Adventurous.
I do always look forward to the candy on sale after Valentine's Day! Otherwise, meh, not a holiday for me :dry:
Polymorphing! I've wanted the ability to shapeshift into different forms since I can remember.
MUSIC!!! I only notice lyrics at all if they are ridiculous and/or really strike me somehow. I always thought it was odd because I also really appreciate poetry. I just tend to confront the two...
I have done this, though maybe not so consciously. I often find myself identifying with Artemis/Diana type figures in paintings with a mythological theme. And for some reason hunter, shepherd, and...
I never got past the first kind of math, I guess. Numbers never interested me, and I had a terrible time memorizing formulas given to me. The way it is taught in school math doesn't really explain...
You'd know ISTJ better than I would :wink: I only really know my father as an ISTJ from real life, and he's strongly SJ, more borderline I and T...so that makes me somewhat biased. You're right,...
Yay for anime with pretty boys! I get mostly the same types for Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket that you do. I was just watching Ouran and ENFP for Tamaki jumped out at me. Nice to see...
Social phobia, especially performance related. For example, I used to be unable to park a car with people watching. It's gotten better, thank goodness. Phobia of earthquakes and, to a lesser...
I like the idea of Littlefinger being an ENTP. He's my favorite of the series. A lot of my favorite characters can be typed as ENTP. Renly as ENFP works for me, too. I think I saw Arya as ISTP, but...
Even though I'm not an ISTP, this stereotype bothers me almost as much as the math genius INTP stereotype. I'm sure it leads to mistyping. My lack of interest in math has led me to question my type...
I have a horrible memory for specific details: names, exact conversations, and numbers. However, I am very good at remembering images and emotions. I have a number of very vivid memories in this...
I'd actually been wondering if personality had anything to do with this. Most of my friends care a lot more about graphics than I do. I barely take it into account when choosing games. Setting (I...
Yay instruments! I'm not stellar at any one instrument, but...my primary instrument is French horn. Because of that, I'm also stuck playing mellophone, the usual equivalent in marching band. I play...
Worst air pollution? Seriously? There are so many bad things about California (credit rating, politics, various natural disasters, etc.) and they put air pollution? Lamepile.
I generally like the INFP type. I haven't found them to be too pushy, and I can find common interests with them. There's also usually a similar nonconformism that I like. The only problem is the...
Hmm, I can see INTJ. But, it's difficult for me to tell...Akito's a very unhealthy personality for at least most of the manga and I guess all of the anime...and I have to revisit the Fruits Basket...
I love Fruits Basket! It's been a while...thanks for posting this! My favorite character was always Shigure. I'm going to second him as an ENTP. Maybe ENFP? But I get the NT vibe from him. Any ideas...
Philosopher Your inward focus and capacity for original thought make you the Philosopher. Others admire your critical eye and your ability to see both sides of any story. You love to wax...
I've loved the little bit of economics I've been exposed to. That would be a high school survey class, a college macro class, and several books. The more practical and detail oriented subjects of...
That probably depends on the school. At mine, and I'm sure others, the AP system was a joke; it existed only to churn out more competitive college applicants. I didn't find the AP classes I took more...
I second that. I loved the A Song of Ice and Fire series. A Game of Thrones hooked me and I zipped through the rest. I'm not a huge fan of fiction, but those books were some of my favorites. I'm all...
I am also in the midst of post college depression. Unemployment, social isolation, living with parents again, lack of productive activity...I'm already predisposed to episodes of depression, so it...
In the long run, high school GPA doesn't matter much at all. Basically, it gets you into college. If you mess up, you can go to community college (or a less selective 4 year school), get a decent GPA...
Some thoughts: Germany is funny. I can see INTJ in modern Germany...but historically, totally different story. France was more influential in the Enlightenment, Germany was more influential in...
Aw, that sucks about 3rd clarinet. On the other hand, those kind of parts would make it quite easy for me to jump in and pick up clarinet...as long as I'm not the only one on the part! Hahaha. I'm...
I love this series, I'm not ready to venture guesses...haven't read the books in a couple of years, and so many characters! :confused:
Mother: INFP Stepfather: ISFP Father: ISTJ Stepmother: ESFJ Halfsister: IxFJ Stepsister: ESFP I'm giving my immediate stepfamily's types because they affected me growing up. I never really...
Thanks for the insight on bass guitar. I knew there were differences between string bass (orchestra) and bass guitar, but it didn't even occur to me the wide range of the bass just within the...
That's awesome! I have known one trumpet player who might have been INFP. He was definitely out of the ordinary. It is unusual for me to see an I trumpet player...most of the ones I have known have...
I've always read a lot. Mostly nonfiction, but some fantasy, scifi, classics, and historical fiction, as well. I also read textbooks on topics that interest me for fun. I can read a large amount of...
I suppose this is weird, but ESFP, especially ESFP guys. I've had a couple of friendships that have been very unhealthy. I love how fun and charming they are. I accompany them on adventures, and they...
Of course you're right, but the thread is about relating an instrument to a type so that's what I attempted to do. Personality is only one factor in choosing an instrument - practical matters and...
Wait so you played 3rd clarinet? I always thought I'd want to play 3rd clarinet, if I ever learned to play regular clarinet. Are the parts really boring? Is it like bass clarinet? A lot of people...
The freedom of composition was very attractive to me, as well.
I really miss bass clarinet. I love its low notes! In high school they encouraged me to switch to french horn because there weren't enough (a very common problem) and there were too many trumpets. It...
Unfortunately I'd also have to say alcohol. Hugs have to come from the right people in my experience :tongue:
Yeah, the closest to the front I ever got was on bass clarinet, second or third row but on the inside at least. I started out on trumpet, which ended up being too high and bright for me. So I changed...
This is going to be an entirely negative response, but just so everyone knows I've been doing MUCH better in college. What was your experience in secondary/high school like? :dry: A slight...
All of these make sense to me!
LOL, yeah the American Pie flute player doesn't remind me so much of any flute players I know...more like a female brass player, hahaha. It probably depends on your area. The introverted flutes at...
Well, speaking from the band geek/music major world, the stereotypical flute personality is quite ESFPish. Gregarious, flirtatious, quick, in the moment, active, and so forth. Whereas the...
Oboe is a great instrument, one of my favorites actually. My friend that plays it is an INxJ. Seems very distinctive, personality-wise.
Yes. I think constantly. Usually what I'm thinking about will be vaguely related to what I was previously thinking, but it's very difficult for other people to follow my train of thought. I also seem...
I can't resist this one. I'm going to apologize ahead of time for writing too much. My entire social circle in real life is made up of musicians, mostly brass players. SO here's my best shot, trying...
I've always had horrible handwriting, especially bad cursive...I used to skip homework assignments to avoid writing in cursive, which took me forever and was inevitably very messy. Often I'd have to...
I mostly shower and wash my hair daily, sometimes skip a day if I'm lazy and don't leave the house. I have to brush my teeth and hair or I feel disgusting...also keep my room clear of trash and food...
When I was very very young, I used to go bee squashing for the thrill. Also I built castles and such in the sandbox and put crickets inside them to live...until I would inevitably destroy my...'
