A question about concentration.
I am curious as to how the different deal with differnet concentration levels. Are you Ti dominant types really that focused? Do you get distracted easily? What about the Ixxps? How long can you concentrate on something? Is it harder for an Extravert?
Discuss.

well, it's variable for me. for example, if i have one complex (usually logical) problem and/or it is interesting to me, i easily get obsessed with it. i have an irresistable urge to dump attention to everything else and focus my entire conscious effort to that one problem. in this situation i am not easily distracted, and indeed get really cranky and testy if people try to butt in with trivial things, like it's time for dinner, or maybe you should get some sleep, or someone's on the phone for you. :D i'd think about it even in my sleep.
on the other hand, when i'm not obsessed about something, i usually multitask pretty easily (with non-challenging/boring tasks). could be said that i need to, or else i'd get bored. like right now. and if i'm asked to listen/pay attention to a lot of details that i find unimportant, i space out easily because it's taking so long between one key point and another, and later i'd have to guess how the conversation had likely developed so that it's not so obvious i've not been listening! :P
and i also can't concentrate well, or for very long, at doing things that require a lot of attention to detail. and i distract easily from it. (right now - i'm being distracted... :P ) i have to give myself frequent breaks.
