I suppose I should do one of these.

I don't know where to start and this is taking a long time to write because I'm spending a lot of time standing up from the computer to pace around and talk to myself but I'm going to try anyway.

Hi, I enjoy video games (though mostly indie games these days) and learning about/participating in subcultures and fandoms that are technically deviant, though they aren't ultimately doing any harm, and whatever harm they do accomplish isn't enough to worry about. This mostly equates to furries and bronies. As of late, I haven't been doing much activity in either of these groups though, because any community is going to have its bad eggs and due to lack of financing, I can't go to a convention to meet the half-decent people that aren't posting on the internet regularly, making whatever half-thought-out statements (if even half) that spill out.

My finances suck because I'm 22, living in a small retirement community in the great state of misery (I think I misspelled that), and I still live in my parents' house. I pursued college for a brief amount of time, but decided to leave due to the occasional professor who thought they could just go and make up their own rules about how the world works like "humans need order to survive" among other things. Again, there were some good eggs, including a history teacher who although insisted on doing things the old-fashioned way (meaning lecture and notes) he did so well, it's hard to lose interest when the teacher satirizes obvious mistakes of some politicians. Moreover, my job pays below the poverty line, and I'm apparently slowly losing hours too, meaning I'm going to consider working at one of the factories here, which pay VERY well, but you're more or less guaranteed to work 6-7 days a week, 8 hours a day (unless it's the 7th day, because then you get 5 (get why they pay so well now?)) but at least my student loans would be gone in two months if I took that position.

Anyway, on MBTI, I tend to score on either INTP or INFP. It tends to variate between the two, but I'd have to guess I'm a little more emotional, although I grasp logical concepts with some level of decency (unlike a hardcore INFP friend of mine who shuns my parents for having one of our dogs put down when he wouldn't eat or hardly ever get up for that matter, (at least I know who to consult on torture methods, leaving someone to starve to death in their own urine and fecal matter... that's a good one)). The I trait is pretty low in terms of how far it scores (I was plenty more extraverted and emotional as a child, but I believe the high level of bullying I faced changed that in me), the N trait is pretty high up, and the P trait is through the roof (and my mom STILL won't stop yelling at me to get more organized). Enneagram (though I'm not much a fan of it) generally scores me as 4w9 (another reason I see myself as a bit more an INFP). And multiple intelligences, my kinesthetic is actually my highest trait, with introspection and musical following shortly behind (musical honestly surprised me).

Blegh, good enough.

Welcome to the forum! I'm Alias, an INTP. My advice to you is looking into Keirsey's temperaments to decide your type. He splits it into NT, NF, SJ, and SP. Try to figure out if you're more NF Idealist or NT Rational.

I've actually done that quite a bit. In fact I even have his book Please Understand Me (though I can't find it at the moment). Seeing as I like to involve myself in subjective matters more than objective, I would definitely think that I'd be more Feeler to be honest.

Also, I kind of like tf2. Nice pic.

Can you give an example of one fandom/subculture? Assuming those aren't too 'deviant' to mention.

Thanks! I made the pic myself using animation from SFM. I have a copy of Please Understand Me II. That's great, I think INFP works for you.

Furries and Bronies mostly. Yeah, not really bad or anything.

I guess I was just trying to make myself sound more objective or logical or something. If I'm completely honest, I definitely have that issue sometimes.

I also do a bit of parkour too if that qualifies.
