Haha, probably not. I just haven't had much to say lately. I've kind of restricted myself from regular internet use.

Sorry, double post.

oddgirlout, Well, clearly, shit's on fire, and he's trying to point it out. Obvious solution: you like comical images and may even visit HistoricLols.com Also: You are an artist, or an artistic mind, or perhaps just an artistic enthusiast, who also believes in seeing the world through art...

This is like the second big "several miners trapped in a mine for a long time" story in the last couple months. What's going on with these mines? The first one had a happy ending, though. My condolences to New Zealand.

My social approach is what makes me question my J-ness. I don't get anxiety or even slight discomfort, but I go get a lot of "don't really give a damn." If you begin discussing something that interests me, which can even include your own sob stories, I'll perk up and become engaged. When...

That does make a lot of sense.

Oh, right, what I wanted to point out. The four highest concentration MBTI types in the study were all NPs. Do you think that has anything to do with being labeled as "gifted"?

According to the CTY's website, they take nominations of students who score in the 95th percentile and higher on standardized tests in "higher aptitude areas." I honestly think I'd prefer the IQ method, as much as I hate to say it.

Precise qualifications are not given, but the study was conducted by the Center for Talented Youth at John Hopkins University, which (the article claims) works with children from all over the country. I imagine the criteria for the study is the same as their criteria for their general program...

For some reason, I wanted to add this. A while ago, I did some research on gifted education and found an MBTI spread on the gifted population. It looks like so: From a population of 1247 students... ISTJ: 112 (9%) ISFJ: 27 (2.2%) INFJ: 57 (4.6%) INTJ: 116 (9.3%) ISTP: 46 (3.7%) ISFP: 17 (1.4%)...

It depends on who it's for. I'm very, very bad at carrying through on things for myself in the long-run if they don't immediately appeal to my, er, eccentricities. For example, I powerhoused my way through college with recommendations from nearly every teacher I had, but I absolutely cannot...

I think your introduction kind of triggered my internet desensitization because I went into it with the "Oh, another 'x reaction' video" mentality and never really cared. My only feeling towards it was that the "monster" wasn't very interesting, I have no idea how a child-sized figure can be so...

I love everything and trust accordingly. I don't find either hard to do and I don't find either hard to return to someone who has betrayed either. Of course, I trust major things only to people I know well, because I am the sort of person who likes to do everything myself. Most people do not...

Your faith is duly noted. :m027: Seriously, though. My life ambition is to successfully launch my multi-prong offensive at winning back the human spirit from mass consumerism and egocentricity because I KNOW BEST GODDAMN IT SO BUY MY SELF-HELP BOOK. Okay, NOW seriously, I'd like to completely...

I've never been able to hold a grudge. Ever. It makes me very easy to get along with, I think, because I can tolerate the assholes that nobody else seems to be able to. As a result, most of those assholes have shown time and again that they're among my most loyal friends. However, I will...
