Finally, Instructions for Dealing with ME!

When people meet me for the very first time, they tend to come to one of three conclusions:
  1. I'm quiet/shy - which is true
  2. I'm super-serious - which isn't really true at all, but I don't really feel comfortable joking around with people until I know them better...See #1
  3. I'm kind of weird - which is basically true
So anyway at the urging of a good friend the other day, I found myself taking an online personality test. At the time I thought it might be kind of fun to see what it said about me, but ultimately I expected to dismiss everything it told me as worthless psycho-babble.

To my surprise though, the results/explanations were accurate. Very accurate.

As it turns out, I'm the Intuitive-iNtroverted-Thinking-Judging type (INTJ, baby!), although this is probably no big shock to anyone who knows me and has studied this stuff at some point.

Want to know what makes me tick? I think this website is the best summary: http://www.intjcentral.com/. Definitely check out the FAQ page; it's priceless.

Want to try the test for yourself, and come to the crushing realization that you're NOT an individual but rather just another member of one of 16 predetermined types? There's a pretty good Facebook app floating around out there that will tell you, although this site is also good: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

Return?

So if anyone still comes to this site, you can tell there have been a few changes. I think I'm going to try to start posting regularly again, as I seem to just have an incredible amount of shit on my mind and no other outlet. More to come...
