What's it like for you?
Is that a general thing, or is it limited to ISTps?
I think, for me, it is relative to how much utility I can derive from something. If I have more capacity for doing other activities, I'll multitask. However, if there is one thing that I am really into, then I won't be deterred from it.

If the "inactive" means physically inactive then yes I meet this description. But I can't be mentally inactive for longer than a second. And I usually keep going until I fall asleep. I have problems with too "slow" mental activity especially TV. It always seems as if it moves in slow motion. Reading is usually too slow too. Maybe because it takes too much time to understand what I'm reading :8* but the pages just don't move fast enough. Computer games rock! The sensory data they produce is AwEsOmE!!! :o But I get bored in a game pretty fast and need new...For some reason reading wikipedia or these forums doesn't bore me at all. Chatting in webchats and irc is usually very fun too and I can hang in there for hours.
