Hello INTP Forum!
I'm terribly indesisive about how to start this so i guess ill start with how i found this site.
I first took the meyers-briggs test two years ago and since then every completion of the test has reinforced the fact that i am an INTP. About a year ago my girlfriend (now an ex :/) bought the book "Please Understand Me II" (in a failed effort to try and open me up) I hijacked the book and was absolutely astounded at the accuracy of its descrption of me, one year and one psychology class later i was stumbling around the internet and i found this haven!
I am 18 (a couple of months away from 19) and I live in Colorado. I graduated high school a year ago, and mainly do to procrastination I "took a year off" to work the monotonous soul draining grind that is retail for a year. Working a job like that sent me into a wee depression but i quit about two months ago to perhaps enroll in a culinary school. Unfortunately a horrible combination of more procrastination, untimely loss/change of interest, and the fact that my parents are poor and would not be able to contribute at all to paying for college (or anything for that matter) has put be back in the exact same spot i was just after i graduated (no money, no car, no place, no girlfriend, and a questionable future).
I grew up in a rather musically inclined family and showed some musical talent myself. By the time i graduated high school (I'm going to try not to sound like an arrogant egotistical asshole here) i was clearly the best musician at what i did (playing low brass) in the state. I've played in front of over a thousand people, I've played all over Colorado and California and I helped kick start a band that is now playing internationally. I think that because i was so talented in music it's the one thing EVERYONE expects me to do with my life and also the one thing i was reluctant to do.
My time in school was typical for an INTP (i think) I had a few good friends and a constant reminder of some untapped potential. I procrastinated a TON but good testing scores carried me through.
Besides musical "talent" I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers, I have built them from scratch with my friends. I'm an avid PC gamer, i enjoy mostly strategy games but i played and raided in World of Warcraft for a couple years and i enjoy most RPG's.
I am stubbornly political, i think because of the massive exposure to politics as a kid. I have some pretty radical, stubborn views on everything, but i pride myself in my ability to look at things objectively and too change opinions in lieu of a superior argument.
Anyways this post is already ridiculously long so to get to the point, i cant wait to get to know this community better. I look forward to being able to "debate" with like minded human being(s) without them automatically labeling it an argument and running. I also hope maybe some of you would be able to help me decide what to do with my life at the very least career wise. For some unexplainable reason i kind of trust this community already(so far
), feel free to ask me anything i'll be happy to answer.
If you actually managed to read all that THANKS!
