<p>Sreis, that does not surprise me at all:)</p>
<p>So, people…what am I supposed to do with my life?!?</p>
<p>hehe, jk;) (but I’d love to hear about ENTJs)</p>
<p>You’re supposed to lead the free world by age 20. </p>
<p>Since that clearly has not happened, I would suggest a downward slide into debauchery and ruin as you contemplate the fact that you have not lived up to your potential.</p>
<p>Go into banking, consulting, or something else. Use the organised, extroverted, tall thing to your advantage. Geez, do we need to spell it out for you? Run the free world, or at least a small corner of Wall Street.</p>
<p>Nspeds: I’m incredibly socially awkward. I just (try to) hide it well. Also, I genuinely enjoy close friendships, so I’m willing to go through the (painful?) process of being “extroverted;” it’s the classic INTJ long-term cost-benefit analysis. Usually, I hang out with two types of people: other eccentric people or those who are extroverted/social and find my nerdiness to be a charming quirk. </p>
<p>That link is half true: I love good food and go through a lot of effort to make it for myself or the people that I like. So I’m a nester/gourmand-INTJ. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So this is where we differ: I am overt about my awkwardness.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Me too. It is easy for me to have a girlfriend; apparently, y’all find endearing my social ineptitude and my complete inability to be romantic.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I have been trying to articulate this for months.</p>
<p>
Sadly, somewhat true. It makes you seem harmless put persistent - much like a spaniel. 
(Just kidding… I think.) On a serious note, DC is full of aggressive, pushy men - it doesn’t take much for women to get tired of dealing with those types. </p>
<p>That aside, I have one word for you: flowers. Trust me on this one. It’s especially sweet when coming from someone who appears to have no ulteriour motives. (See note re: DC men.)</p>
<p>I was a full blown ENTJ in my childhood, but I believe it originated from a deep desire of expression. When elementary school started I could not believe how little my classmates expressed themselves. I was stunned. I think I was curtailed by judgment of others. I don’t know if i could perceive them better or if they became stronger. I still am really surprised at how little people express themselves. I wrote probably 2-3 pages about my childhood to post, but as usual I end up saving them on my computer. I guess that is the INTJ side, though I’m not sure if either describes me well at the moment. I see parts of myself in both, but I think the test leaves out one thing important.</p>
<p>sreis, nice post:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is true, although usually “I like your dress” elicits an “awww, that’s so sweet coming from you” type of response:D</p>
<p>Um… those last three words are a little distressing…</p>
<p>“Geez, do we need to spell it out for you?”</p>
<p>Sorry. I was practicing my delegating skills…;)</p>
<p>Flowers work–under the right circumstances, though. Quirky and charming is fine, plainly weird and creepy is not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is all about context: I almost never compliment:D</p>
<p>Who am I to deliver platitudes? Those pushy DC men can do it for me;)</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it’s platitudes or proposals from them… and trust me on this one. </p>
<p>(Aries does a nosedive into her martini at the thought of DC men.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>!?!</p>
<p>DC men. Well… I cannot wait to get out of here:) I am more of a Boston person.</p>
