idealistic.

This week's programming hw figured out personality types based on answers to some questions. Apparently I'm an INFP.

"One word that captures this type is idealistic....They may demonstrate a tendency to take deliberate liberties with logic. Unlike the NT, they see logic as something optional....They may find it difficult to reconcile a romantic, idealized concept of conjugal life with the realities of everyday living with another person. At times, in fact, INFPs may seem fearful of exuberant attainment, afraid that current advances may have to be paid for with later sacrifices.* The devil is sure to get his due if the INFP experiences too freely of success, or beauty, or health, or wealth, or knowledge. And thus, INFPs guard against giving way to relaxing in the happiness of mating. They may have difficulty in expressing affection directly, but communicate interest and affection indirectly.... The INFP questor probably has more problems in mating than any other type. Let us be mindful of the relative infrequency: about 1 1/4 percent, say two and a half million people in the USA.**

I think it would be interesting to see the overall results of the test coupled with everyone's astrological sign, just out of curiosity.

I seem to be in good company:

Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes)
Bastian (The Neverending Story)
E.T.: the ExtraTerrestrial
Doug Funny, Doug cartoons
Tommy, Rug Rats cartoons
Rocko, Rocko's Modern Life cartoons

* That is SO a top 5 fear of mine... Good to know I'm not the only crazy person that thinks this.
** Maybe this is why it's so hard to find people I can relate to.
