Personlighet

Snublet over Myers-Briggs personlighetsklassifisering.

Jeg er definitivt Introvert (ikke ekstravert), og definitivt Perceiving (ikke Judging). Jeg er også Thinking mer enn Feeling.

Litt mer tvil om jeg skal kalle meg Sensing eller iNtuiting... men jeg ligger og vipper mellom INTP (dvs. Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Percieving) og ISTP, det er klart.

Disse karakteristikkene synes jeg er treffende:

INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of "simple" ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they are. To the INTP, however, this is incomprehensible: They are merely presenting all the information.

Given their independent nature, INTPs may prefer working alone to leading or following in a group. During interactions with others, if INTPs are focused on gathering information, they may seem oblivious, aloof, or even rebellious—when in fact they are concentrating on listening and understanding. However, INTPs' extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language. They may defuse tension through comical observations and references.

Eller hva med:

It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. [...] Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense

Spot on... jeg klarer for eksempel ikke se på TV-nyheter, jeg begynner å kjefte på oppleseren: "Tøys! Tror du på det du selv sier?!?"... Og jeg har alltid sett på diskusjoner som en leting etter forståelse, men har smertelig erfart at det ikke er vanlig, at mange (de fleste?) ser på diskusjoner som konkurranser, dominansspill... Og samboeren min spacer alltid ut når jeg prøver å forklare noe... "Du forteller så vanskelig!" Hæ? Jeg bare presenterer all (den relevante) informasjonen!...


Men på den andre siden,

[ISTPs] can be closet daredevils who gravitate toward fast-moving or risky hobbies (such as bungee jumping, hang gliding, racing, motorcycling, and parachuting), recreational sports (such as downhill skiing, paintball, ice hockey, and scuba diving

Skal vi se... Har spilt ishockey, gikk dykkelinje på folkehøyskole... Drevet med triatlon... padler kajakk...

Men alt i alt er jeg nok mer N enn S.

Tar vi egentlig dette seriøst?

I et annet kjent klassifiseringssystem er jeg Slangebærer.
