Hello,
I always test 50/50 on the E/I scale (Usually labeled an "E" by online tests), but my preferences are undoubtedly "I".
I'm a 31 year old guy named Doug who's been through more ups and downs than he'd care to recount.
I can't really describe what type of person I am beyond that my posts will make that evident.
Some random tidbits about me are:
1) I was the kid who fixed his parent's appliances from age 6 on.
2) I was labeled both "gifted" and "learning disabled" (I prefer to think my educators were "teaching disabled)
3) I was profoundly bored with most schooling and sank to the bare minimum requirements no matter what difficulty level of class I was placed in.
4) I usually manage to become the "go to guy" no matter what job or field I wind up in.
5) Have no college degree
6) Anything I'm very good at is because I taught myself how to do it.
7) Oddly for an INTP, I'm not that great at mathmatics (see point 2)
8) Though this post doesn't evidence it, I'm a much better writer than orator.
9) I always seem to sink or rise to the level of my peers (that pesky chameleon)
10) I'm into Photography, storm chasing, storm spotting, both enjoying and playing music, fixing cars, electronics, astronomy, tinkering, computers and electronics, reading, welding (creating things), flying (as in doing it), amateur radio.
11) I've gained the reputation on other boards as someone who'll argue a point simply to argue it. It's almost sport. And a guilty pleasure pointing out the flaws in another's argument. I'm not particularly proud of this.
12) I think my E and F sides are unusually prominent for an INTP.
13) Spell checkers combined with the habit of typing too fast have ruined my grammatical accuracy.
14) Sometimes the urge to build/write/create things seems almost overwhelming
15) No matter what level of success or achivement I attain, I constantly feel as though I'm on the edge of total failure (and being found out I'm a fraud)
16) Music has the annoying ability to move me to tears at inopportune times
17) I tend to remember my dreams in terms of moods.
18) I'm a very good cook
19) I'm terrible at respecting the conclusions of others if they're based on emotion rather than fact.
20) I probably seem cold to most people, though I run rather hot. My inability to express myself to people I care about in real-time drives me nuts.
21) I'm never good enough unless I'm better than everyone else (which is impossible)
22) Myers/Briggs and thier ilk have provided me with a sense of self order an stability I sorely lacked for many years.
23) Even my best friends think I'm wierd
24) I'm intolerant of stupid people, sheeple, politicians, keeping up with the Joneses and main-stream everything. Screw being like everyone else; they have terrible taste.
25) I'm not religious, though I have a spiritual side.
I'm terrible at providing information unsolicited. Ask me questions,
