'Time, actions, and actually listening to (and retaining) stuff they tell me. I'm seeing someone new now, who I really really like a great deal.. and I'm finding myself planning meals, shopping,...
Yup. /10char
I always say that I'm about three years behind on everything. I never, ever pay attention to new trends, popular styles, internet fads, none of it... it isn't that I eschew pop culture, it's that...
I liked the first season or two of The Office, but once the running jokes wore out on me, I was pretty much done. Now Office SPACE.. .that's a hilarious movie :) I adore Dexter, got Showtime...
liquor, concert tickets, or an album on my restore my old vinyl collection list. Those are the only things I can think of that would really make me happy. Anything else I either already own,...
I don't like clubs... they're loud and the pulsing/flashing lights really bother me. I usually end up with my drink, in a corner somewhere, waiting for my friends... or just leaving without saying...
Maybe I'm unusually tolerant... I don't resort to actually *insulting* people who are, usually innocently, asking me how I'm doing. 1) It's something society has taught us to do... right or wrong,...
Maker/Survivor. Nope.
This is pretty much my everyday writing.
Love going to games in real life. I'll watch games with friends at bars, but meh... I don't pay attention. I can watch college basketball on tv, that's about the only sport I can sit through a...
I don't care how many groceries I have in the car; I'll try to get them in the house in one trip. Even if I have to injure myself to do it. I hate making multiple trips to the car. That's probably...
Hahaha... it's the worst when you realize the pause in the conversation is because they're looking at you expectantly, waiting for a response. Oh... right, because the... okay, don't hate me, but...
Natural birth, breast fed for only two weeks because I was intolerant and had to be put on some special formula. I am not close to my family at all, but there are extenuating circumstances that...
Hahaha - I have ALWAYS noticed handedness before almost any other feature, and that fact will get filed away along with hair color, (sometimes) eye color, rough height (I'm always off by at least 3...
I just had to quote this, because it sorta got lost up there, and it's awesome.
I am exactly the same way. It takes me several meetings to be able to commit a face to memory, even though I'm keenly aware of their face while I'm with them... as soon as I walk away, it's gone. I...
^Hahaha, Darner, that's the kind of project I'd take on :laughing: Most of my 'ingenuity' comes on the fly, when I'm shooting a gig. I've rigged up some pretty fantastic lighting fixes using...
I'm not sure if I'm in the right thread to tell about this, but fuck it, I like this thread. So last night I went out with my platonic guy friend, we got dinner and drinks. About two hours into...
Ohhhh, sorry, I was stuck in romantic things land. From others? Shit. I want to hear that I've done a stellar job; that my methods are innovative, that I'm quick and precise. I like hearing...
I don't mind compliments given by the RIGHT person at the RIGHT moment, and not all focused on how hot or sexy I am, please, because... PLEASE. I *do* have a slight surface weakness for hearing...
Hahaha... oh Functi... :blushed:
I saw the hit me over the head (or however you phrased it) in the email notification early this morning and I was like SHUT UP, SHE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!! We are simpatico. It gives me...
I concur. If I'm interested in someone, I'm focused on them. VERY few things would interrupt plans with that person; and in fact, even if some emergency came up, I'd ask the person if they want to...
^Erbse, you're adorable. I often feel like I'm lacking the ability to fill in the blanks... I'm not terribly imaginative, and I can't necessarily leap to conclusions before I have all the facts...
Ha! So true... I am downright oblivious. Last Friday night I met a really great guy, we had a fantastic conversation, during which he (a) gave me his business card; (b) asked me to come visit him...
I missed this earlier! :happy: You're much higher than me in Empathy, what say you stand in for me when my friends need a shoulder to cry on, and I'll take care of the paperwork :cool:
^I don't think hobbies and interests are the best way to determine type anyway. If you think about WHY a lot of ISTPs are into the things they like, it makes more sense... Ti-Se, right? Mechanical...
LOL! Yeah, if she lived less than 1,000 miles from me I'd totally be wondering why she was so adamant about him being an evil, evil man. I think she's just a man-hater, really. Peh.
*extremely* sensitive. It's my strongest sense, and it can be pretty annoying. Especially at weddings (you can imagine all the different colognes, perfumes, foods, drinks, etc).
It takes me a while to appreciate a song. Nothing ever grabs me at first listen, not even new stuff from bands I love. I have to warm up. For me, and it's been said by others, it's a combination...
Jesus! /10char
I'm just like you, Clarified. In fact, when I volunteered to scrape linoleum at a friend's house, her fiance started pitching in and it really irritated me. A) he wasn't doing it right; B) he was...
Like madhatter, I have a basic daily schedule. Ish. I'm not really all that good at keeping up with that, either, but it's a helluvalot easier than managing things in the distance. The only things...
When I got married, in 1998, it was the first live broadcast internet wedding. I didn't plan it that way; we got married in the line of sight of a webcam, and a co-worker of mine knew the people...
Hahaha, that's hysterical. I guess we'll always be the ones suspected of being stoned. I've been told many times that my voice and manner of speaking is trippy and calming. Okey doke.
WTF with the slow-motion lane changes?!?!?! Drives me out of my freaking MIND. Of course, people who have ridden in my car say that I change lines like NASCAR, so... whatever. Something between...
No boos from me :happy:. I agree with this statement. It's a lot of the reason I ended up here in the first place...
I like kids one-on-one. Groups of kids make me nervous; too much noise and chaos. Kids seem to be drawn to me; if I'm in the right mood I enjoy their company, but I'm not really a kid person. I do...
I can't stand going to the gym. I love lifting, but I hate cardio without a purpose (treadmill, stationary bike, etc) - it's just boring and pointless. I lift at home, and now that the weather has...
What just happened here? :happy: Did I submit to a psych eval without knowing it? Eeeep!
^Maybe, DJ, but seeing and knowing are two different things. I know a lot of people. I don't know a lot of ISTPs. And I live in a surfing town with a big university with a nice engineering...
^interesting. I *am* an ISTP, and I have only known maybe two others in my adult life. You must live in ISTPLand, where we all come out to play and cheat on our partners. I wanna find this place...
It sure does feel that way, hey?
??? If infidelity was part of my divorce, I probably wouldn't be so steadfast in my assertions that your generalizations are unfair and biased.
And your giant generalization is based on....? I was married to an ISTP for 7 years, with him for ten, and I am an ISTP. I'm curious where you're getting your information. EVERYONE looks when...
^^I kind of completely love your plan.
Meh. Girls are prettier than guys; I can't help but look at a beautiful girl now and then. It's human nature; you can't turn that off. I don't understand why, when in a relationship, men are...
Once in my entire life did I maintain a flirtation outside of my primary relationship, and I won't go into details, but it was almost a survival mechanism more than it was anything else. I'm...
^I wonder if you took a cross section of (confirmed) ISTPs and had a really well defined questionnaire prepared, if you would find that the majority of them find their spirituality in nature and the...
^Hahaha, I love your description :) I took my daughter to the county fair yesterday. It was almost impossible for me to pay attention to her expressions while we were on the ferris wheel and the...'
