I wish there was some chocolate pudding in this ho
So, pardon any ramble like bits. This is a relatively fresh group of thoughts and it will be my first time trying to explain.....in words.
So, if any of you have read this http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html
There is a part they talk about that I have always experienced when it come to music.
"Another area of interest common to INTPs, where Si has a strong influence, is Music. INTPs are usually fascinated by music and may have deep and wide-ranging tastes. Indeed, each of their three main functions (Ti, Ne, Si) plays a role in the enjoyment of music, and indeed music is a key interest for bringing out the feeling shadow of the INTP. Si itself brings a fascination for mood and atmosphere in music as well as for a strong sense of personal nostalgia. INTPs are therefore often keen on melancolic minor-key music in which an introspective and/or esoteric mood is conveyed. Equally, INTPs enjoy hearing music that they heard and enjoyed when younger (provided they can still appreciate it now) and yearn for the sense of nostalgia that it yields. INTPs are also drawn to complexly structured music, thanks to their Ti core. An appreciation of modern classical music, as well as perhaps contemporary jazz, is therefore common with them. Such music types are usually too complex to be understood after a single hearing, which hence provides excellent material for analysis, exciting the INTP no end. Once the basic developmental structure of the music has been assessed, Ne provides the impetus to derive a general meaning of the piece. What does the composer wish to convey, for example? Why was that particular development chosen? Indeed, the Ne is usually hard at work during listening sessions, trying to grasp the meanings behind the often fascinating combinations of sound-world evocations, structural developments and nostalgic impressions."
So I have always connected songs from my past to memories. When I listen to one on the radio, every memory that has been connected to that song comes back and I get to re-enjoy parts of my childhood. These memories are vivid and strong. I can recall everything, my feelings at the time, where I was, even sensory information like how the sun felt or the smells in the air. And I'm normally terrible at remembering sensory stuff. I've explained this to my friends and no one seems to have this same overwhelming nostalgia that I experience.
So my thought was, if music can tie in so strongly to my memory....could I use music to remember other things. Like history or math homework? It would be cool to be able to play Bach on my Ipod, remember what I studied, and pass a history test for once.
Anyone else have experiences like this?
Or have tried it?
