@UOC as we share a personality type I can reasonably assume that while you are well meaning, things like "read this book" tend to fall into a hole from which they will never be recovered

its certainly the case for me

I get to about 80% of the things I start out intending to do.

But not always on the time scale people appreciate

pretty good

I wish I could do that

I'll read that book eventually. I like Charlton.

This is just a particularly busy summer for me.

its more like a long essay than a book to be honest

even better

I think my personality is like a that of a genius except without the intellect or willingness to forgo all social pressures

I have learned that unless someone does cure mortality in my lifetime, I won't get to do 5% of the things that seem interesting to me, so I've basically just picked a couple and I don't do anything else

Charlton doesn't have the benefit of MBTI

you add that together to these ideas and you get something even stronger

some of the "endogenous personalities" would be MBTI extraverts

basically, all the Ns

well, not quite all

INTJ, INTP, INFJ, INFP, ENTP, ENTJ

in a rough order

ENFP and ENFJ unlikely, again in order, descending

I'm in a busy period where I would much prefer to be doing nothing at all

it's a real trough

i wonder if people push back against the MBTI typing thing because they don't want to deal with a predictive model of the flaws they know on some level they have

I think its just the spirit of the times

"empirical", materialist, scientist

@UOC I criticize MBTI

I really don't think anyone would be concerned with flaws

anyone liable to be interested in MBTI

I think it's a horoscope for autistic people

is probably very interested in knowing their flaws

And vain people

With a self obsession

good thing I'm a vain self obssessed autist

http://gotnews.com/analysis-richard-spencer-man-people-find-npr-slow/

more people come across MBTI than are personally pursuing it as an interest though

in corporate settings or whatever

school

and lots of those people get really dismissive and defensive about it, in my experience

I guess I've just never encountered that

makes sense

I'll keep it in mind for the future
