    Default hello

    Titles aren't my strong point, and I don't care for them to be.

    I have been typed as an ILE, and I agree. So there is, I suppose, a consensus on the matter. Just feels odd, definitively knowing my type. It more has to do with self-doubt and uncertainty. Though I trust the person who typed me and though it makes sense, I don't know enough about the whole system for self-validation.

    I started out on MBTI, about a year ago? (I am not sure, I am terrible at estimating time flow) While studying it somewhat (my interest in typology was really off-and-on at that point in time), I had received and read comments about how it was inaccurate and vague, and, though I looked at it somewhat warily from that point on, I still continued to research it. After being introduced to Socionics and learning a bit (not much, probably), I mostly dropped MBTI (about 1-2 weeks ago?). Even though my understanding of MBTI was rudimentary at best (though still better than people who take the test, read the decsriptions, and never look at it again), I moved over to Socionics primarily because it makes more sense, has a more reasonable foundation, and has what I consider a fair body of evidence for it, at least for a theoretical system. It was the logical consistency of it which tipped me over.

    I am 18, with major interests in science, math, and philosophy, and intermittent to minor interests in almost every other field of academia. Frivolous, everyday tasks bore me.

    I was once an avid player of video games, but now I spend (or waste, should I say) most of my time on the internet not doing the things I should be doing (homework, primarily). Occasionally one of my friends will introduce to some new video game and I will have fun with that for a few months (also time-wasting) and then go back to wasting my time on the internet. Perhaps not all of that time is wasted, though.

    I also love music and play guitar and drums.

    That is all.

    hi
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Wow, I wasn't finished with the second paragraph when I submitted. It must have been so confusing that it just ended with "Though I trust the person who typed me and though".
