Do your opinions/interests/skills frequently change?

I've found that my personality never stays the same.
It seems like I'm always changing my mind about what I like/don't like, my views, my thoughts..
My skills even change.
I could be getting good at a certain something, then a few months later find that, I really suck at it.
I'm not really sure how to explain this or put it into words, but yeah.

Does your personality change often?

Now, about the OP: Change is a good thing. Every once and then, I also go through some changes in my behaviour/thoughts. That's a good way to grow and shift your perspectives, allowing you to become more developed. Taking your age into acount(15, right?), i'd say it's rather normal to keep a constant value change, as you're still developing your core values and objectives.

It becomes unhealthy, though, if the constant changes start to hinder you instead of allowing you to become a mature person. Skills are about practice, and well, we NPs are not really willing to practice over something we already 'know' if there are a lot of more interesting things to learn out there. The result is that we lose skill in something after some time.

your dreams
my political and philosophical views do tend to change around a bit as i explore and experience new things, but my skills, interests (actually more like obsessions) and overall personality have always been pretty much consistent. at least i can't think of a time when i haven't been awesome. (that's a skill?)

there are some exceptions. my social skills for example have gotten better over time, and if i couldn't gain new interests and stuff i'd be pretty bored with life.

I'm not sure, but it's rather chilly.
My opinions don't change too often, but I'm not totally set in my ways. As for interests, it's not really that they change so much as they are simply added to the pile.

Isn't "changing frequently" simply the other side of "bored easily?"

My opinions change a lot, yes.
I might change my mind every day if something is bothering me.

I am the chameleon. I change based on my surroundings, but consciously. In that sense I suppose I do not really change, but rather stay the same...as a chameleon.

My main (if not sole interest) is behaving so as to further my knowledge, broaden the nature my life experience, and advance socio-economically.

My main skill is the ability to absorb and adapt, which leads to the development of other skills, which I retain.

My opinions rarely if ever truly change, though the ones I voice support for may change depending on context.

What I like is success, this does not change.

My opinions and interests and skills do change. The first more rapidly than the second, and the third takes years.

But my underlying personality remains pretty constant. I add experience to my theories, so I am continually revising my outlook.

haha what a bunch of INTPs. what would happen if we work on a project together? is that actually possible? or will we fuck it up?

(normally we would have non-INTPs to blame)

The principles of my thought patterns don't change. But new information and new things/skills to explore definitely will dominate my current focus or change my views, based on the same consistent principles of logic.






... Maybe more pizza, less drugs?
