We did the Myers Briggs Personality Test in school. Last time I did it I was in grade 9. At that time, I got INTJ, AKA "The Scientist". A super rare personality for super geniuses. Here's the description of INTJ as given on my more recent test:
"INTJ have original minds and great drive for implementing their ideas and achieving their goals.Quickly see patterns in external events and develop long-range explanatory perspectives. When committed, organize a job and carry it through. Skeptical and independent, have high standards of competence and performance for themselves and others."
We were asked to predict what we would get. Despite wishing otherwise, I guessed that I would get INTP. I thought I changed from "Judging" to "Perceiving".
"INTP seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests them. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. and adaptable. Have unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in their area of interest. Skeptical, sometimes critical, always analytical."
What I actually got? INFP. Whaaaaat?
"INFP are idealistic, loyal to their values and to people who are important to them. Want an external life that is congruent with their values. Curious, quick to see possibilities, can be catalysts for implementing ideas. Seek to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. Adaptable, flexible, and accepting unless a value is threatened."
I guess that's not too bad.
Hey, you know that vacuum that wouldn't work? I was on the verge of scrapping it, but one night, I turned over in my sleep and kicked it. It started blasting away. I scrambled for it and fumbled around in the dark, trying to turn it off before it woke up my roommate. Then I realized how ridiculous it was that I was having trouble turning the non-functioning vacuum OFF. It's worked like a charm since then.
In worse news, I accidentally turned the keypad on my computer off again. A friend of mine came over and fixed the keypad. Same guy that managed to connect the Wireless. Just like with the Wireless, he refused to tell me how he did it. This time I have an idea that I turned it off by pressing the wrong section of the area where a space bar should be (my computer's space bar fell off). I aim to hit a little round button in the centre of where I used to have my bar when I want to make a space. I pressed somewhere on the far left of this area when my keypad turned off. I haven't been able to reverse it with the same method. Good thing I kept that little mouse handy.
Did I ever mention there's a guy that walks by the Residence, playing bagpipes, every once in awhile? I'd really like to know what's up with that guy.
