Myers-Briggs Personality Types, an obsession.

Thanks to my Mastermind INTJ best friend for introducing me into the world of personality types, I'm now more obsessed with them than he is.

Literally, the past week has been spent collecting data on everyone I know and making them take the test, as well as taking it as them. Surprisingly (or not), I was pretty accurate in determining their personality types when I took it as them. I'm convinced this is the only way I can understand people who don't use the same "functions" (aka thinking) as I do.

I'm an "ENTJ" (every fictional character is a villain) and supposedly my "major drawback" is failing to see from others' POVs and understanding others' feelings. Therefore, I'm turning to a system which categorizes personalities in order to understand them. So far, it's been "insightful".

Someone recently said/laughed to me, "You have to put effort in to care about people? For most people it comes naturally..." in a condescending /sarcastic/annoying tone. However, they were an F (Feeler). I am a T (Thinker).

And I do care naturally... "in my own way". Maybe not in a way that a Feeler would understand.

Anyways this isn't about caring. It's about understanding. I'm tired of not understanding people who I think are dumb (I'm so mean).

I probably "have something to learn from them", in a really abstract way.

The Surprisingly Inspirational Comedian

Dana. Gould.
"Let Me Put My Thoughts In You"




He makes the weirdest references in the world.

Which are not in this video because I couldn't find them.

So just watch it on Netflix.
