Violette -
I really enjoyed reading your self-descriptions..
> I wouldn't consider one thought to be a high level of suspiciousness-that certainly is an interesting perspective. As i had just written, i never gave it much thought until after you pointed out that my thought was actually "crazy".My question about your suspiciousness wasn't as much about your wondering if I was Bob in disguise, as about your seeming to be suspicious of my motives because of my high level of interest in the Community Council. We all tend gravitate toward what interests us - and I didn't understand why my interest in it seemed to provoke suspiciousness in you.
> Here's another thought that crossed my mind - about posts from people who post one, long story -but never return to the forum. Sometimes people will come back and post a word of 'thanks', but that's it. The story is often long and usually contains a considerable amount of common search terms for people with persistent mental health problems. i wondered if those posts serve to bring this site to google/search engines. Yes, i do think alot.Me too.
> I have 100s if not thousands of thoughts a day. I do get tired sometimes.ok.. I think you're in the lead on that one then :-)
> Somestimes I paint my thoughts on canvas. Sometimes I make photography collages. Other times I write screenplays.An artist! I cannot paint or draw at all. I can do stick figures :-) I am a photographer, though. Photographic artistry runs in the family kinda. My brother is a commercial photographer in CA. I wouldn't even know where to start writing a screenplay - but it's probably apparent that I'm a writer. The technical kind of writing I've had to do professionally was always a boring chore to me. (I like finding the problems, the troubleshooting and creating the solutions - but not the confines of putting it in technical report). But I absolutely LOVE writing... writing about thoughts, concepts, abstract reasoning, and journaling. I like public speaking, but not debate. I'm also a musician. Wind, brass, low brass and keyboards. I've got two kids who are musicians, one is string and keyboard without the ability to carry a tune in a bucket - and the other is an accomplished vocalist and keyboards.
> I think about the arts, political systems, science, psychology, health care, business. Lots of thoughts as I'm more of a creative thinker
My thought-life dabbles in the same kinds of things - and tends to be most into conceptual ideas, systems, and relationship dynamics.
> rather than a more serious person who might go around with a self-righteous attitude.So if someone is serious, then that means they have a self-righteous attitude? I don't think so. I am generally abstract, but I have worked in conjunction with concrete thinkers - and I think it takes both to make the world go 'round. I don't think it's fair to tag people who are 'serious' as having a self-righteous attitude.
> Some of that INTJ description seems to match what you show of yourself here.I don't think I have the pronounced IRL relationship problems it describes for INTJ, but the rest of it is a very close fit.
> It's sort of like astrology tooI don't see the connection there.. astrology is way different in my view.
> Actually, i've never read the other descriptions before. I just picked the opposite letters of what i had tested for, to see what profile you'd say you were.:-) Interesting approach to deciding how to categorize someone.
