Hi everyone!

Hi everyone! :hello:
I wanted to post a bit before introducing myself...
I found out recently (in January) about MBTI and also that I was an INTP... :) I think most of the descritptions totally describes me... When I found out about my personality type everything clang into focus...

Im 22 years old and Im from Canada. English is not my first language so Im sorry if I make mistakes :) I speak French too...
What else could I say?? Well, im a student in languages (translation) if i could say so... I use to be in Biology and I hated it... My parents wanted me to become a nurse or a doctor... of course, I didn't want to.

I joined this group because Im looking forward to have good discussions with fellow INTPs and I will try to post consistently ;)

Hate Biology?! Cellular level processes are extoardinary in my mind, the most elegant organizations of atoms and molecules I know of. I can see somebody hating it if it's strictly for the purposes of medical profession. Anatomy and Physiology kills me, for example.

Well, I do like cellular and molecular biology (this is what attracted me to biology first), but I guess it's the program itself that turned me off and the fact that it was so... social! :) We had to learn in group kind of... Most of the students seemed extraverts also. Also, there was a lot of laboratories and dissections and I hate labs! Plus I felt there weren't great opportunities in that field (unless you have a Phd)...

The same type of things turned me away from majoring in it (that's not to say that it wouldn't suit me, I don't really know). I'm into electrical engineering, though talk of transistors and circuits goes in one ear and out the other, while my mind gravitates to the more essential elements such as Maxwell's equations and their consequences. I don't feel comfortable trying to understand something unless I can understand it on its most fundamental level. This means I might eventually warm up to dealing with the engineering aspects, but I want to see these aspects as consequences of what is really going on, that way I can have fresher ideas on how to change and improve whatever I'm working on (free from boxed thinking).
