As a competitive barrel racer I can totally relate to what youre saying. As perfectionists we are always striving to better our performance and there is no such thing as "a perfect run". I spend the night before a compitition running the pattern over and over in my head. My heart races just...

They actually have four or five tracks still in operation in Lake of The Ozarks. Thats in missouri.

Welcome, I like 'em too:angel01:

Ya know I was thinking about that. I'm kinda leery of anything that starts with "army" How am I ever gonna find a carrer that will work for my personality type? What kinds of jobs are there for smart people who don't like interacting face-to-face with people?

Sounds great to me. I love that stuff. I like dangerous-makes me feel alive. I am a car nut..well actually I'm a classic truck nut but same-diff. I remember when all I wanted to do was that stuff. But I am a bonafide adrenaline junky. It's why I train horses. I live for the rush-can't help it...

so Would my local state school be considered accredited? Missouri State University. How do I find out who is accredited?

Great Idea. Thanks I'll do that tomorrow:)

anybody know what it takes to get a job with the corp of engineers?

nursing and medicine are out- I dont like people enough.

that is why I ALWAYS find reasons to distract myself. Loneliness is dangerous. I think that is what they mean by: "too much time to think"

thanks guys I really appreciate all the info since the probability is high that I will experience all of theese emotions and issues when I get there. and the reason I asked what you do and why you like it is so I could research what you do and see if it was somthing mabyye I would like to do. I...

My husband thinks we start a support forum for partners of INTPs. Reading this I'm starting to think mabye he's right.It would certainly help potential partners deal with our idosyncrecies(sp).

God I hope not. Could'nt pay me enough money to re-live my 20's

Great now I that I have decided to go back to school. What are some good carrers that are based on math? I love statistics and probabilities. And engineering things. what kinds of jobs are out there? realistically

Aren't there ANY JOBS out there like this? I don't really like people in a face to face situation.Unless I'm in charge. but then I don't like the responsibility.

Ok. I totally understand the whole not fitting in thing. But I'm an INTP living outside of the city limits of a town with a population of 150 people. EVERYBODY'S a freakin' farmer! and we dont have a gene pool we have a gene puddle. So not fitting in and not being understood and treated like...

If I want an intelligent conversation with someone I can relate to I just come here. I DO NOT expect to be able to relate to most people at a university-I cant relate to most people now. Probably because there are not a whole lot of people out there like us. MY QUESTION IS: what do you guys do...

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail Ralph Waldo Emerson US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882)

I am concerned about burn-out. I'm just looking for somthing more fulfilling and mentally engaging than training horses. Horse training just doesnt do it for me anymore. I want to do somthing more challenging and fulfilling.

man, I'm fever fried!! fellin' good didnt last long! I'm gonna go lay down. have a great time, catch ya later

Go rent Boondock saints- good guys take out the bad rich guys- NOW thats a good movie

I have always had a love affair with math. I took algebra II in sixth grade. everything just fell apart when I moved out to the middle of nowhere. Im interested in statistical analisys or mabye engeneering or somthing like that. but not sure where to even start. But I want to have a "serious"...

feeling better today.

I'm thinking about getting my GED and going to college. It has always been a dream. I have the time. I feel so stupid- almost everything I know is self-taught. What have you guys done? has anyone gotten a late start?

welcome! Happy to have you.

If I dont get back to anybody for a few days I'm not ignoring you I'm just really sick. I'll catch ya when I'm better.

hopefully I succeed this time. this is my fifth attempt.

pretty good I cant get my my personality thingy to show on my signature when I post. but considering Ive self taught everything I know so far in the last two weeks I'm doin pretty good. thank You for caring to ask. how are you

Honey, you're gonna drive yourself crazy doin that. Coming from a broken home with an abusive drunk for a mother and a deadbeat dad.I wasted ten years of my life trying to sve my mom.and then at 15 I let my collage dreams go so I could help care for my younger siblings. Which turned out to be a...

Im pretty happy with INTP. but I feel compelled to contribute to the world. I mean there are, depending on the site only 2.5% or less of the population. and we are special people. I'm probably just fantasizing. guess we will see in a couple days.

That probably has to do with a past experience of some kind. I know it sounds like some kind of freudian B.S. but give it a thought. Did you have a bad childhood? sorry, bad humor

funny how things work real type-INTP Idealtype-ESTJ- my husband is ESTJ

Oh, and I train show horses.

about me: I am in my early thirties. I have been married for about ten years. I moved to MO with my mom when my parents split-I was 12. Had a hard hard time at first. Lost myself for a while.Put myself back together and after some testing I came here. Where to go next... hahaha... time will tell

Hello, and welcome.

Welcome

It sounds like a really good idea and I applaud you for trying. I have been trying to do that for years. The only reason I get anything done or even close is entirely due to my husband. He makes me lists so I dont forget, and he even gets mad at me for being a scatterbrain! I know it sounds a...

Why is it when you finally break down and ask for help on another forum not one damn person responds ? I hate people sometimes:eek:

117. You feel at home here...But you're an outsider everywhere else

I have already been diagnosed with PTSD, ANEXIETY, MILD-BI-POLAR. BTW thiis is enough to get me qualified for S.S./Disability. Does that make us Crazy smart or Just crazy:storks:

Sometimes I go for a ride. But reading is good to. This is a really nice place. I do not feel so alone when I can communicate with people more like myself. Before I found this place I felt very alone. My horses comfort me alot. A quiet ride in the woods can be a very spiritual experience. I do...

I try not to think in terms of mistakes. I try to think of them as life lessons. I think a mistake is somthing you regret and don't learn from. Life lessons are Hard-but you learn from them and are better off in the long run. Hindsight is 20/20

I can relate to how you feel. I was in accelerated learning in cali when I was a child and then I was dragged to missouri. Life fell apart. My family broke and I ended dropping out of school to help support my family.I am now 32 years old and dont even have a GED. My friend is a pysc. major and...

Popularity is overrated. Needing to be popular is probably a deep seated insecurity. Not ever being popular I'm not sure what the allure is but I can tell you this. I am so totally not interested in wasting all of the energy it would consume trying to impress other people. And how much time do...
