Hm. So I'm The Additional 1 - a combination of the internet's famed "+1" awards, as well as literally being a singular addition to any conversation/thread I join. That's it - my deepest secrets are now revealed.
A little new to the game - I've recently delved back into personality types. The most consistent result is INTP, and although I would like an official diagnosis, INTP fits me far more than anything else out there. So here I am.
Any other personality types are largely when I allow myself to be as such, and/or my INTP type is when I consciously interact with the world as such - e.g. I'm perfectly in tune with my own emotions and others', but I always push emotions aside when making decisions or coming to conclusions, and I absolutely disdain people who allow their emotions to take the forefront of their actions. But if certain things had changed at certain times in my life, I am quite sure I could be ENTP far more often than not.
I'm "officially" Christian but am distancing myself from organized religion, because there's a huge difference between "universal morality" and "follow these rules and listen to how this person chooses to interpret this piece". I've been socially isolated for most of my life, so I've come up with a lot of thoughts and conclusions on my own. Reading analysis and nuances of semantics have always been my strength, which simultaneously makes me cynical of other peoples' words, especially with emotional influence. Finally, I've been through enough...situations...on my own that emotional solutions are something I just never seek. If there's an issue that's causing emotions, address it. If not, then, well, humans are the most adaptable species ever, so hey. Anyway - I'm more spiritual, moral, and am looking into Buddhism not as a religion but rather an earth-bound moral code. Starting to look into that. Oh and if God is out there, then he's far far beyond anything we can comprehend, so all of this imagery is pointless. But there's definitely a thread of connection out there somewhere. #stringofpearls
I want to be a Renaissance type of guy - I'm very interested in a whole lot of things (Architecture, sailing, soccer, problem solving, efficiency, sociology, analogies & transposing themes/concepts, 30's and 40's era styles, things of grandeur [especially of times past], classical music, writing, reading, creative flourishing, fluidity, bio-mimicry in future developments, calligraphy, the list goes on) and I absolutely hate how held back we are by people who can't think outside of the box, are leaders because of imitating the system rather than improving it, and/or are simply afraid of change and have the power to prevent it. One of my lowest assessments of someone may be to call them a "Social creature" only capable of group thought.
Anyway. If you've made it this far, then congrats and thanks - you now to some extent and how I'm approaching this whole thing. I'm just here to really find like-minded folks because there is an absolute dearth of them in my circles - at least that I'm aware of. How did everyone get here, and how do you see your INTP traits manifest themselves in your lives?
