you are not someone I admire or could relate to
I like natural intelligence and introverted types that don't need admiration from anyone other than themselves, I would be ashamed in myself to ever relate to someone like you... it'd feel pathetic to me to need the admiration of others to feel validated.
Quote:
you feel the need to identify yourself with "personality types" because you lack any real sense of social identity; also, your mind must cope with the fact that it lacks social identity by feeling intellectually superior to those you despise - hence, you study psychology (pseudo-psychology, rather) to feel as if you are "more informed" than others
Quote:
This also explains your inability to learn any real practical psychology, because you are only using psychology as a means to an end (to fill in the gaps of your underdeveloped ego)
norty is having a hard time reconciling feelings of "admiration" for plug drugs after this exchange with her anger
what better way to woo a lady than to own her
hmmm
well I did lean over to see what a shrink was writing down once when he asked me "who are you?" and I had trouble answering to his satisfaction... I said, "I'm Lisa."
He wrote something down and I leaned over to read it and it said, "marked identity failure"
HOWEVER if identity to you is simply the need to be validated and placed socially by others then sure, I have "marked identity failure" and you are the identity queen.
I doubt this is any real insight into my psyche however but rather a projection of the need yours has to be accepted by society.
I like anyone who studies psychology have done so because I recognise that I'm a head case and it is an attempt to first understand myself, not to fit in socially.
the word "extrovert" is starting to seem like some sort of all-encompassing label you use to describe the people you hate
The truth is, we all go back and forth between being introverts and extroverts in different social situations; think of a time when a younger relative (or any young child) has looked up to you and you had to assume the role of an 'extrovert' simply to be a role model for him/her.
the truth may be frightening to you: there is no good and no evil;
under the right circumstances, you are entirely capable of being exactly the same as the people you hate
When I perform I use a persona that I wouldn't really identify as being truly me, same with work where I adopt a professional persona.
An introvert does not mean that you cannot stand up in front of people and speak or lead... some can, some can't, same with extroverts, some can, some can't.
The main difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an extrovert actually gets energy from being around people while that same situation is actually a drain on an introvert's energy who really prefers to be alone to recharge their batteries.
The internet is full of introverts as it is the ideal social ground for an introvert, they can turn it off and walk away at any time.
I do though tend to like looking after people because when I have to look after someone it tends to make me act as a better person than I normally would, even to myself, I will treat myself better when I have to look after someone else out of a need to have the energy to do so.
wow there is definitely too much text in this thread
read that though https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3016793/Laughing01.jpg
lol
there should maybe be a rule that OB, plug drugs and I cannot all post in a topic otherwise all the witty one liners will be squashed between mountains of text
but then some people are just capable of typing more than one sentence and can use whole paragraphs even so....
"extrovert" is just Latin for "to turn outwards".. it can apply to your persona, or any espect of your psyche in which what's inside comes out towards other people.
To label all people as either "intoverts" or "extroverts" just seems sort of narrow-minded to me.
My ex-girlfriend's dad once told me "Mike, you're kind of an introvert aren't you?" to which I just smiled and nodded in agreement... Then one time when I was 6 years old in kindergarten, all jacked up on mountain dew and running around the class room, truly the life of the party, I remember the teacher describing me to my mom as being a total "extrovert"..
Either I'm some rare breed that can go back and forth to whatever suits me, or the whole method of classification is a bunch of bullshit
plug drugs I can this very easily for you
do you get more energy from being around other people or do you get more energy by being by yourself?
it depends on the situation, doesn't it?
plug drugs I can answer this very easily for you...
do you get more energy from being around other people or do you get more energy by being by yourself?
I am at times stimulated by the company of others, but I am also at times stimulated by being by myself so I can pursue my own projects
i refuse to spend time reading this argument of the retards
well we all have aspects of all traits
but you'd know if you got more energy from being around others than you do from being by yourself or not.... you will naturally lean towards one more than the other.
What you were like as a child is the best guide of your own nature.... but we certainly do not all share thee same nature
Parents who have had more than one child can tell you this without a doubt... we are all born with different natures
you can't classify a human being with a dichotomy like that
there's more to a person than just "sociable" or "insociable".
I can tell you that if I didn't give a damn about other people, I would have just dedicated myself to making money and be well on my way to being a multi-millionaire
I don't care about money
in Australia you can live below the country's poverty line and still be living like a queen compared to the vast majority of people living in this world
what's that saying about rich people trying to get to heaven through the eye of a camel's dick?
(don't correct me, I know the saying... is j/k)
It's not fair to classify me as an extrovert because I can be perfectly content by myself for long extended periods of time doing my own thing; but if I just happen to be in a group setting I do care about what other people think (anybody who says they don't care what other people think is lying really).
I am an entirely different person when I'm not posting here, and even just on different internet forums I'll take on an entirely different person - whatever I feel I am most suited for given the conditions. Same with real life.
i'll take it anyways if it will appease you, although i remember taking it highschool and getting something like INTJ if i remember correctly
no, not at all
while you're there read some of the other types and you will see
I find some of them completely alien to me, some I think I would like in other people but certainly do not fit me and some I think I would hate.
Are you just saying that because I'm INTJ?
Go have a look at some of the type descriptions, there are 16.
