Recently I've been fascinated with articles and research and other forms of credible information about psychometrics, which according to how fantastically smart I am to know Google, means the science of measuring mental capacities and processes, such as IQ, EQ, personality traits and other cool stuff ikr i am absolute fun at parties!!!!
Anyway, I think being able to know about a person (almost) inside out without even starting to interact with said person is an extremely amazing thing indeed. After all, as a person who may not be the most social insect with bright colourful wings, it's a handy tool should I find myself having to resort to human interaction with other people.
Besides that, I would also be able to find out more about myself, identifying strengths and weaknesses, ideal careers for each personality type (based on info from real living breathing people) and like ideal partners LOL and basically other cool stuff ah. Of course granted, it may not be totally bullseye accurate for al cases but it's based on legit scientific research by legit qualified research people so it's definitely not entirely BS.
Anyway (again), a particular personality test I took (MBTI) and I thought I'd do a bit of a breakdown and see what's what^_^

Into the mastermind of an INTJ(oooo)
"INTJs are analytical. Like INTPs, they are most comfortable working alone and tend to be less sociable than other types. Nevertheless, INTJs are prepared to lead if no one else seems up to the task, or if they see a major weakness in the current leadership. They tend to be pragmatic, logical, and creative."
All this is spot on. Logic is a huge huuuuuuge huuuuuuuuuuge ok not that huge part of how my upstairs works. I do despise teamwork quite quite very highly extremely, though the team members I've had to work with have been absolutely woeful. There's always a chance I'd get a good team of cogs that turn the proverbial hand of the clock, but I prefer to go solo cheehhhhhhh. The leadership thing though lim pei lah. If you're not steering the ship properly damn it I will kick you overboard and drive(???) it myself.
"Hallmarks of the INTJ include independence of thought and a desire for efficiency. They work best when given autonomy and creative freedom. They harbor an innate desire to express themselves by conceptualizing their own intellectual designs. They have a talent for analyzing and formulating complex theories. INTJs are generally well-suited for occupations within academia, research, consulting, management, science, engineering, and law. They are often acutely aware of their own knowledge and abilities—as well as their limitations and what they don't know (a quality that tends to distinguish them from INTPs). INTJs thus develop a strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders."
Preach the wordddddd.
"As mates, INTJs want harmony and order in the home and in relationships. The most independent of all types, INTJs trust their intuition when choosing friends and mates—even in spite of contradictory evidence or pressure from others. The emotions of an INTJ are hard to read, and neither male nor female INTJs are apt to express emotional reactions. At times, INTJs seem cold, reserved, and unresponsive, while in fact they are almost hypersensitive to signals of rejection from those they care for. In social situations, INTJs may also be unresponsive and may neglect small rituals designed to put others at ease. For example, INTJs may communicate that idle dialogue such as small talk is a waste of time. This may create the impression that the INTJ is in a hurry—an impression that is not always intended. In their interpersonal relationships, INTJs are usually better in a working situation than in a recreational situation."
Macam puji diri sendiri je HAHAHA nah. I am socially awkward. Friends that make sense are my friends. My emotions and social behaviour is erratic and highly confusing, unfortunately. I am really nice and cuddly and other positive adjectives though. If you persevere, then at the very least you deserve my friendshipness and I appreciate you for that naww
"In forming relationships, INTJs tend to seek out others with similar character traits and ideologies. Agreement on theoretical concepts is an important aspect of their relationships. By nature INTJs can be demanding in their expectations, and approach relationships in a rational manner. As a result, INTJs may not always respond to a spontaneous infatuation but wait for a mate who better fits their set criteria. They tend to be stable, reliable, and dedicated. Harmony in relationships and home life tends to be extremely important to them. They generally withhold strong emotion and do not like to waste time with what they consider irrational social rituals. This may cause non-INTJs to perceive them as distant and reserved; nevertheless, INTJs are usually very loyal partners who are prepared to commit substantial energy and time into a relationship to make it work."
What even is all this relationship stuff. . . . . . . . .
Anyway, that's sorta all for now. It took two weeks to do this post cause I was horribly bored and uninspired and busy and blocked off of writing fluids but i'm ok now yay
