I felt like an alien in a world where everyone thought differently than me.</p> <p> I've always valued honest communication. I do not believe in keeping 'secrets' - for example: </p> <p> At my local chess club, I was once given the advice not to play my favorite chess openings while playing at the club. The idea being that if I play my favorite chess openings during unrated club games, people would learn my style and find a way to beat me when a tournament comes around. </p> <p> I explained my philosophy - if I tell people my favorite openings, even if I give them the exact variations that I play, yes, they might beat me in a tournament. And yes, I might lose an important tournament game. </p> <p> But here's the kicker: I would gain from that experience. I would be challenged at the depth of my preparation, and in the long run, I would learn more from the experience and become a stronger player. </p> <p> Another trait I have is that I hate small talk, for the most part. I prefer to keep conversations 'real' - throw it out on the line, get into the deep stuff, have a real engaging conversation. If the conversation is conservative, I often lose interest. </p> <p> Why am I bringing this up? Because, like I said, I felt like an alien. </p> <p> Until I took a personality test. </p> <p> I took a personality test that is based on jungian archetypes, according to the theory there are 16 basic personality types. </p> <p> I answered a few questions, and I was then greeted with my personality type: INTP. </p> <p> Then I felt like I was having a conversation with someone who could read my mind. The description of INTP was me in a total nutshell. I couldn't believe it. I suddenly felt validated, like my values and habits weren't because I was an alien, or weird, or whatever. They are just the way INTP's are. And the reason I felt like I was so different is because the INTP personality type only comprises about 3% of the population. </p> <p> I haven't linked the website I took the test on, because I do not want to be accused of spamming. But if you google search for personality types, you'll end up there. And no, I am not a paid shill for a website.</p> <p> Unfortunately I'm not an expert on the history of MBTI personality types, or know much really about all the details. As far as I know they come from the works of the important Carl Jung. But I can tell you that finding out you are a certain personality type, and that there are many people out there who think just like you, and that you can learn how to deal with your strengths and weaknesses has a real value. At least to me it does, because I'm always analyzing things and looking for the truth. </p> <p> Thanks for reading, and if you have any experience with this stuff please let me know.</p> </html>
