is it an intp trait to be inclined to move a lot?? i always want to move. if i can't move, i'll travel or take weekend trips a lot... but i never want to just vacation somewhere. i always want to move there. anyway.

i've was born & raised in the providence, RI area (3 different houses between providence and the neighboring city) and i've lived in plattsburgh, ny & wilmington, nc since. currently living back at home for a couple months and then i'm going back to nc for a year to finish up school and then moving to albany, ny - though, i am awful with planning, so really i could be anywhere in a year.

I want to move about once every year or so. But that is bad in a way, because it always gets me in the frame of mind that I should forego my posessions, they tie me down because they are such a bother to move.
I've attempted some strange things in that frame of mind.
I went to hop on a train. I came to my senses.
I just took off walking. I came to my senses...only I was 5 miles away from my house. That sucked.

[quote="t"]is it an intp trait to be inclined to move a lot??

I think so too. I've lived in Glasgow, Adelaide, Sydney, Singapore and Melbourne. I only stopped moving cities when I got married and we had kids. Then we moved houses four times in six years, but at least it was in the same city. With marriage and kids you accumulate much more stuff and it becomes a natural disincentive to move house on a whim.

I've read that the average time people stay in one house is seven years (at least in Australia). I wonder if INTP's move house, if not move city, more frequently than that?

Japan is a good place, but I don't know if you'd like to really live there. There is a lot of structure in the main city area that if left unattended to makes you an outcast. Then again, Japanese pop culture seems to be trying (maybe too hard) to become a little more Westernized in terms of being "independent." Then, then again, I might just be biased since all the Japanese I know and have seen are like that.

Well, I couldn't really have any hopes of ever "fitting in" in Japan. As a tall blonde with blue eyes, I would always be a stranger. Still, being a stranger often makes people more accepting towards you - nobody expects you to conform perfectly to society.

Yeah, there's some good advice in that article.

Japan is a difficult place for foreigners. The Japanese are a xenophobic people (although that is changing).

The sad fact is that you'll never totally fit in, in Japan, if you're not Japanese.

That said, if you're the right kind of person*, it can be a fantastic place, even for a gaikokujin.


*If you clearly understand the pros and cons of the country... if you know the language... if you're adaptable... if you enjoy alien cultures... if you can handle the alienation, etc.

Wow. You are WAAY up there, huh? I haven't looked for these cities on the map, but the Yukon territory ITSELF is North of Canada, right? So, even if you were on the southern border of Yukon you'd be well on your way to the North pole.

I've always wondered what goes on up there. My imagination pictures guys in thick clothing riding around in older pick up trucks on their way to serve as guides for a hunter. Something like that. Or maybe the guys who FIX those pick ups. Are you anywhere near the famous oil sands?

That's still part of the UK isn't it?

We had a sort of jigsaw puzzle when I was a kid where each state in the US was a piece that fitted together with the others. I'll always remember the pictures that were shown for each state. Grand Canyon for Arizona, potatoes in Idaho etc. The entire Yukon territory ( which is quite large ) was represented simply with some sketchy "You are in a forest" trees and a bear.

Well, still a part of Canada, but north of the official 10 provinces. The three territories (The Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) are Canadian territories rather than British. I currently live in Carcross (http://www.explorenorth.com/library/communities/canada/carcrossphotos.html), which has a population of about 400 people. All of the Yukon is north of 60 degrees. I'm hugging the border of B.C. and Alaska now but have lived considerably further north before.

Your imagination isn't too far off for the most part, although Whitehorse has the most highly educated population per capita in Canada - due to it largely being a government town. 25% of the working population has a university degree. On the other hand there is also a large segment of the population, the majority of whom are First Nations people, who live in general poverty.

The oil sands that I think you must be referring to are in Northern Alberta, some 800 miles ESE of here! :)

"You are in a forest" would be a fair statement to make about the majority of the Yukon. We are expecting to see a number of bears in town over the winter as we had an unseasonably warm spell a couple of weeks ago and all our snow melted. It is now -25 degrees Celcius and it seems terrribly odd to have bare ground.

Are the terms "Britain" and "the UK" interchangeable? I thought Britain was PART of the UK. It's "original part" so to speak. And then there was the rest of the UK.

It seems I remember seeing the Queen's face on currency in Canada last time I looked, which was admittedly a while back. I thought there was a connection with Scotland, Ireland, Australia and Wales too. They were given an independance of sorts, but still had some connection. Hence the picture of the Queen continuing even after "independance" etc.

I always thought the "Northern Territory" and the Yukon" were the same thing too. Which is which? One is West and the other East, I suppose. Nunavut was a new one to me.

What sort of work takes you up there? Must be cold as a witch's . . .er . . . broomstick.

You contradicted yourself. I suspect you meant to say "Britain and the UK aren't the same thing."

To answer kuranes' question more clearly: Britain refers to the island of Great Britain which is made up of Scotland, England, and Wales. Britain is part of the UK. The UK is made up of Great Britain *and* Northern Ireland.


EDIT: The UK also possesses various territories and so forth (obviously). Anyway, all of this can be researched in seconds...

There the same thing, just a diffent name. Northern Ireland is part of Britain at least for now.

The word Britain is used to refer to

* the United Kingdom (UK)

* the island of Great Britain which consists of England, Scotland and Wales

* sometimes the Roman province called "Britain" or "Britannia"

I am consistently toying with the Idea of vanishing somewhere and being without a name.
I come back to my senses, but the urges will return.

I can definitely relate. I think I might have had a discussion with Kuranes already about this in another thread as well. :) In fact, I never even buy beds when I move to a new place because I always think about the uncertainty of how long I'll be there and the hassle of moving a bunch of big furniture. I move on average once a year, but mainly not to another city, just different houses/apartments/condos. Lately I've been sleeping on a futon, but my back and neck are starting to hurt so maybe I should invest in an actual mattress to put on the floor.

Did people still make jokes about the kind of socks that people from Parma wear? When I was a kid in Cleveland in the early 60's I remember that.Dunno, I moved when I was 2. I just asked my mom (she's visiting from out of town), and she'd never heard the jokes. What were they?

Are the terms "Britain" and "the UK" interchangeable? I thought Britain was PART of the UK. It's "original part" so to speak. And then there was the rest of the UK.

It seems I remember seeing the Queen's face on currency in Canada last time I looked, which was admittedly a while back. I thought there was a connection with Scotland, Ireland, Australia and Wales too. They were given an independance of sorts, but still had some connection. Hence the picture of the Queen continuing even after "independance" etc.

I always thought the "Northern Territory" and the Yukon" were the same thing too. Which is which? One is West and the other East, I suppose. Nunavut was a new one to me.

What sort of work takes you up there? Must be cold as a witch's . . .er . . . broomstick.


Canada was once a part of the British Empire rather than of the United Kingdom. We are now a member of the British Commonwealth, made up of former British colonies. While the President is your head of state, the Queen is ours and thus appears on our currency. Her actual power though is nominal. Her representative in Canada, the Governor General, is a ceremonial position and the candidates for that position are selected by the Prime Minister and are Canadians.

The Yukon is the western part of Northern Canada, while the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are in the east. Nunavut recently became Canada's third province, splitting the Northwest Territories in two. It is made up largely of the true Arctic areas of Canada and is predominantly Inuit.

My broomstick has seen it's share of cold weather! The coldest I've been in is about -55 degrees Celcius (-67 Fahrenheit). Typically we get several weeks of below -40 degree weather in the winter. I was born up here and am fairly naturalized to the cold! I can be found in a short-sleeved shirt year round though I throw on a sweater and jacket outside. I'm currently teaching a multigrade 7/8/9 class at the local school.

No, you're wrong.

"Britain" and "United Kingdom" are not interchangeable. Britain is part of the UK, as I've already explained.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not Britain.



When people from England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland talks about Britain they mean the U.k. But everyone else ( non-British )is just refuring to the British Isles .We refer to it as a more as politics view rather than geography one.One reasons for that is before Ireland left what now is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was called just United Kindom of Britain in 1922.eg I would call Republic of Ireland just Ireland.It is strange as the United Kingdom competes at the Olympics as just Great Britain.

Extremely unfunny is what they were. But ubiquitous nevertheless. I guess "Parma socks" were those "all white" tube socks that some people wear all the time vs. just for the gymnasium. A guy with dark pants/clothing and Parma socks on him has a a vaguely silly look.

I worked in Buckhead back in the early 2000's. There was a school for hot models and a workout center right next door to my office building, and my window overlooked it all. How can you NOT like that? It was... awesome. A great sushi bar there too, for lunch.

The Buckhead bar scene is weird now. Everyone dresses exactly the same: guys in khaki shorts with loafers and polo shirts, girls in sundresses. Seriously over 80% of the people at the bars do this. A lot of them are young people who couldn't find work and came back home to live with their buckhead parents. It can be like High School Part II sometimes.

Nottingham? - it's pretty nondescript, there is that crappy bit, on the south side, heading out toward Gotham, but it's nothing like the districts of Birmingham, such as Chelmsley wood, for chav-tasticism.

I remember this old, retired guy that ran a buiders yard and large DIY store in central Nottingham, he had to be in his eighties, asked me about the cause of a hard drive failure, I span a line about possible hysteresis on the magnetic media and he proceeded to school me for the next ten minutes on the intricacies of hysteresis and why it probably wasn't that.

I was a little hyperbolic and ambiguous. The city itself is not particularly enthusing but there's nothing to complain about- most of the people I came in contact with there were equal to or greater than this description too.

My opinion of it is fairly negatively skewed as trying to live there proved to be a bit of a clusterfuck for me.

That's depressing.

Yeah...

I've lived in three different houses in this town, all of which are within a 20 mile proximity of each other, two of which I pass by every day.

What's depressing is that we've all lived on the same planet our entire lives.

I'm boring. I've just lived in the one city my whole life. That said, I've lived in about 8 or 9 different places since I left home at 21.

I'm up to house #11 now.

Has anyone ever lived in Russia? Maybe Moscow/St. Petersburg. I've heard it's a shithole, but I wonder if it'd be fun for a summer.

No, but I visited Moscow when I was five. My parents said a gigantic dog almost ate me.

Then I visited Moscow again when I was 22 and the evil, old women at passport control almost ate me.

So. . . watch your back!

I visited Moscow 20 years ago. It was about 30 years behind the West at that time. It's apparently moved ahead dramatically since then. The food has gone from Borsch to Big Macs anyway.

My lasting impression was it being gray and bleak, with shit food and no shops, lightened by some spectacular architecture.

Well, Borsch does look pretty tasty. I suppose moving to an underdeveloped country means that most people won't speak a bit of English, so maybe I should leave Moscow for a week long trip rather than a month long.

Heh, I didn't know that. I didn't remember seeing your name pop-up when having scanned the INTP map.

[edit] Is that tool no longer available?
