One of the passes happens while the boy and girl in the white shirts are lined up. The ball is passed at 29 seconds to the girl, who passes to the boys who then steps to his right and passes it back to her. I think many people count that as only one or two passes. Incidentally, it's passed around th... |

There's a place for people who think FB should be banned or regulated by the government - China. |

Ha, not sure what I will do about that yet. I have a suggestion but research tells me they are more expensive than others.
Anyone else careful about what they start researching because of the potential to turn into an "interest?" |

He is terribly bright but not well researched on psychology. Most of the terms are probably incomprehensible to him. I have "Be Different" and "The Way I See It" on the way from Amazon. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to read through more than a few pages of either at B&N today. Do you guys... |

How come no one has said "Mortgages?" Cause I really could use some information on that. |

"Jane"
As each new flower of memory opens
In response to this new light
Their razor blade petals
And strobing, blinding leaves
Where a field of daisies once spread
Now a horrific parody of life, beauty, connection
That no nightfall hides. |

Either are fine. Take the test and see what fits with the variations on the general theme. For example, if you test- Introverted (>50%) iNtuitive (<50%) Thinking (<50%) Judging (>50%) Also check out the profiles for ISFJ, ISTJ, INFJ and see which seems most comfortable. Has anyone else taken the tes... |

I just realized that I do not read words with inflection. The aspie forum looks just like my fishy forum because I read them all with no inflection. |

Additionally, they are sliding scales. If you test in the middle, it implies some balance. I test right between T/F. I'm passionate but my decisions are always logical unless I make the choice to follow an illogical choice... like taking the long way because it's prettier. I feel like it's given me ... |

I haven't had a chance to look through other MBTI threads so I apologize if this has been said already but I feel compelled to point out a few common misconceptions. Personality is not essence. It is... a set of symptoms. The root of the symptom, the hidden 'way of being' or set of innate talents (s... |
