    Default Ability to talk forever.

    Type-related?

    If so, will certain types have certain patterns to their ramblings?

    It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

    Confirmed: IEE.

    Aren't ESEs notorious for this or something?

    All I really need is for someone to say about five words of interest in the topic, appear to be interested, and ask me an occasional question, and I'm off talking.

    I remember once talking for about an hour on the phone and realizing the guy had only asked me questions, or made one word comments, but yet would kinda encourage me to ramble on. So I did, and could have for much longer, lol.

    But, w/o the interest from the other person, or if I don't feel comfortable w/ them, I'll actually be super quiet.

    This is a fun activity for me. Get the other person to mention five random words. Then I brainstorm. Then I continue my ramble.

    I always wonder how can anyone be able to ramble on......I'm the exact opposite.

    Just make lots of weak connections.

    A shining example: I moved from "music" to "sim city" with a detour through snatching my SLI friend's phone and doing a wind sound effect and panoramic sweep of the English classroom we were in.

    Don't ask.

    I can sometimes ramble... the last time I did, it was a constant stream of correcting myself on increasingly trivial points about logic.

    Oh, this is a good point.

    I find it obviously induces further Ramble when the Ramblee starts asking questions.

    I like people that tell stories, especially if they're funny or humorous.

    Like how I respond to "Wassup" is usually... "nothing much... wassup with you..."

    Really... tell me wassup... I'm bored out of my mind... give me some slice of life so I can live vicariously thru you... is that too much to ask?

    Sometimes you can shut a person up by asking a question that they can't answer.

    You're great at rambling nonsense, especially gibberish.

    I am not a particularly chatty IEE....I will talk when the topic and time are right. I am definitely not a chatterbox. However, my LSI husband is a talker. Yak, yak, yak... How can a damn introvert talk so much?? He dominates almost every conversation.....I thought it was supposed to be the other way 'round.
    It's so easy to love me! I'm an IEE!!

    I know an LSI who is also a talker. definitely. actually, I know two of them now that I think about it. both talkers. but they pick and choose. they don't just talk about anything, it has to be something that interests them. I think that's true of most introverts though. Gosh, I can talk on about some stuff. And my SEI friend talks on and on once you get him going. but maybe the question is, do they initiate the talking? I don't think so. I think it's more that the introverts are given the opportunity, a clear listening ear, and then it flows out of them. Whereas ESEs and IEEs, etc. are more of the initiators. maybe?

    Hahaha, yes, I do this all the time! Well, not all the time, but a lot of the time. Although I guess that depends on what qualifies as "a lot". I mean, percentage-wise, it's really not that huge of a percentage. But it's still more than most people. So I guess what I'm saying is that I've done this before. Well, except...

    Et cetera ad nauseum.

    I can talk a lot but only if I know that people are listening to me.
