The Architect

I bet you think that's an interesting title for an erotic story.


Possibly, I'll write one. Someday. But not today.


I'm sure most of us know about those personality tests? Sixty-some questions. You end up with a four-letter definition of your personality. Four factors, with two choices for each factor. I think that means total different personality types. I've known about them for a long time now, and have never taken one until a few months ago when I had to. So, not a choice I'd have made on my own.


Self-reporting psychological tests are just suspect. They're about as accurate as taking a cognitive test and thinking you took an I.Q. test. That's my first issue.


I can easily tell by my scores that I do not see myself as leaning too much one way or the other. I like seeing myself as balanced. Some who read this and have spoken to me might disagree on me being a well-balanced person. Except in one category.


Wait for it! I'm getting to it.


So my results say I'm INTJ. Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judgemental. The Architect. Most of the scores, like I said, were pretty close, except for the T. Thinking. I actually agree with that, as I try to do a lot more thinking than feeling. I spend a lot more time thinking about my feelings than I do feeling them. That, to me, lines right up with being Introverted.


So this type is, apparently, the rarest at only two percent or something. Some page online used this quote to describe it;


“Thought constitutes the greatness of man. Man is a reed, the feeblest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.”
Blaise Pascal


The same page says, along with being one of the rarest types, it is also one of the most capable. Other traits? A thirst for knowledge. Meh, I guess so. Ever see the show "How the Universe Works"? I'll skip basic hygiene to watch that. Apparently, I like to question everything in search of a better way. To be sure, I don't think anything is as good as it could or should be.


I'm also socially frustrated.


Some other traits make me sound like an arrogant know -it-all.


I'm also compared to Neitzsche, Michelle Obama, Christopher Nolan, and Elon Musk. Elon Musk???


It also says I'm not good at romance. It seems like a backward analysis to me. According, again, we start out thinking romantic rituals are pointless and even insulting, then learn to understand them. I have to say, I've got less use for them now than I ever did. We're also not good with emotions. Ok, I can see that.


Well, that's enough about me. There's much more, but you know too much already...

 I have many friends who type out some version of NT. Probably no surprise to you that I'm solidly in the F category. INFP, the Idealist or Mediator
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

I've only taken the test once. I wonder how I'll test in a year.

 I find social interaction requires too much effort from me most of the time: making small talk and remembering to inquire after the health of my coworker's sick cousin's uncle's mailman is boring.
Elevate me...

 What does being socially frustrated feel like to you?
Elevate me...


GimmeAThrill replies on 11/10/2020 7:17 pm:
The cliche "nobody gets me" comes to mind, right? But that's not me. Because I don't care if people don't get me. I like my circles small. Tiny, even. Social interaction requires effort.

 for the longest time i ran on the polar opposite of extrovert.
and RIPLEY the psych major would be like... are you sure about that?

did you take the test on line here?
why was it mandatory? you're holding back on us!!!
XO!


GimmeAThrill replies on 10/30/2020 6:41 am:
I'm always holding back. That fits in with this personality type, too.

I took it somewhere else. I had to take it for a management class I'm taking. I can see where they might tie this in with the material at some point. Why it was scheduled in the first two weeks, I don't know.

 We just can't have you knowing too much about me. You understand of course. Please comment so I'm sure I know who to target. I mean, reply to.
