[INFJ] A Love of Facts - Geek Speak

(INTP) I like interesting facts, and I like to quote statistics...

But minute details usually bore me.

Figure that one out.

 

@Zola I'm more of a language geek, which is why I wasn't sure what to answer. I think I recognize the attitude you're talking about, it's just that in my case it manifests differently. At least to me it seems that being excited about etymology, morphology, rhymes, etc. is similar to loving facts in the sense that in both cases it's about being fascinated by details that most people would find boring.

What interests me in sciences is more the general ideas. But I do find facts and statistics interesting sometimes, so if this topic doesn't generate much discussion, I wouldn't mind reading more trivia if people want to share their knowledge.

 

I like learning facts too, and looove to play trivia. I used to be on a pub quiz trivia team with friends that played every week; these days I pretty much just play HQ trivia daily. I think numbers can make it easier to remember stuff.

Something interesting I recently learned is that an albatross uses dynamic gliding and can fly around the world in 46 days. They have the largest wingspan of any bird at 11.5 feet, and can fly for 6 days without flapping their wings once. They can also live for up to 60 years.

 

Me and numbers are like

 

I love numerical facts (and the numbers general).

 

I'd say it like this: that past a certain limit, your genetic relationship to anyone becomes statistically indistinguishable from anyone else.

 

I like facts but not for their own sake. I learn for the sake of application.

 

You smarty mcsmarty pants youuuu!

Jokes aside, I’m the same way. I prefer to keep myself updated with current studies and research. Gotta keep yo self up-to-date and fill yourself with juicy knowledge.
