Introducing myself; Håkon aka Hawkon. I just got to know that there is a place for people like me! (Woha! No, not called 'institutions' but close).
The other day a friend of mine messaged me his typelogic.com description (ENTP, as far as I can remember). I got curious, of course, and did my test. I was stunned by the matching description of my result (INTP) and I found my way to this forum.
I haven't had the time to look around too good yet, though. But I'm getting there.
I do, however, feel that I am a very unique (weird is more appropriate, perhaps?) INTP in the way that I had a very weird 'transformation' a few years back, 'turning' into an INTP. All the way up till I was 17 years old I was more of the social type, playing all sorts of sports, going out with friends every night, being the social center of the group. I was an athlete and had skiing (telemark/free-heel) as my major at high-school sort of thing (Norwegian school system) and competed in the Norwegian Cup. Had some nice results but during the second year I had a weird breakdown. I stopped. Skiing getting too boring - I don't know. Doctors couldn't tell what I had, my coach told me I overstressed (9 practices per week).
I found myself in front of the computer. I had never really been interested in computers and technical stuff such as computers, but I rapidly learned how a computer worked, how the operating system worked, windows, linux, BSD - all the way.
As with everything else, I expected the computer to get boring after a couple of years. In everything I do, I put all my effort to it. Such as cars. Large investments, sudden project death - heck, I have done 3 engine swaps on a turbocharged car in half a year, getting all my experience from trying and failing plus reading about it.
My point is that computers never stopped amusing me. I had a job at a small IT-business as the NOC & Sysadm. I did, however, manage to get back to high-school which I'm trying to finish the last year of now (I'm 21 at this time).
One thing that's on my mind is the relationship I have with my girlfriend. When we got together, I was this social, urge-for-adrenaline, active and open guy. She is the same. During the last years I've changed into the stay-home-by-myself and occationaly watch a movie with a friend. We've had a pretty serious relationship though, so we can't split up. The problem is my interests change continously and I'm never the "hang out and do cool stuff"-type.
More to come.. I'm just overwelmed by the fact that there's a place for people like me :D Sorry for the long post. Please feed me anything that can help me solve my personality mystery.
