Don't understand the INTJ?

I found and fell in love with the Myers Briggs personality test a while ago, and indeed our whole family seemed to find it useful when it came to understanding each other. However, for Aragorn and I, as we entered late-teen/early-adult years, our personalities shifted from being fairly identified with Purring Piggy's and Clankeeper's to being strongly identified with an entirely different one. We are, unlike our parents, INTJs. Unfortunately, not only are INTJs rare in any given population, they are odd, quirky, and even cryptic to others. So I have learned from experience. To fit in with normal society, we usually have to play some kind of role.

But if you're at all curious about what really goes on behind how we appear in public, or just want to understand why weird things happen sometimes, this is the place to find it. Be warned: it's bitingly sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek, also brutally honest, and has a few swear words sprinkled in. That being said, take away some of the sarcasm and brutal honesty, and it's so so true. (At least for me; I'm not sure how strongly INTJ Aragorn is.)

Interesting

From here: "We guess http://bethsperaindomino.blogspot.com is written by a man (60%), however it's quite gender neutral."

Michael Crichton speech

I've admired the books of his I've read, but this speech gave me a lot more respect for the man himself.

Strange song juxtaposition

I often play my iPod on shuffle, with very random playlists, so pretty much anything can come up. Occasionally, though, the choice seems fortuitous. Just the other day, I was tickled when the song "My Eyes" came up right before the song "Give Me Your Eyes". Even stranger, though, is how eerily well those songs fit thematically in that order when you look at their lyrics.

Hundreds of unique accents

When I first found this site, I didn't think much of it. I love learning about accents and what makes them what they are, and especially just hearing and being able to recognize them, but I'm not a big expert on them. This site, though, is for people like me—it has all the expert information, but if you're just curious about accents, it works like that too.

One thing that this site was very helpful for was distinguishing the various British accents. It's so common for Americans to just go "Oh, he has a British accent", and not realize that the Brits have more distinct accents than even we do in one country. Unconsciously I picked up on that from watching so many British-produced things, but it was nice to put my finger down on what the differences were.
