the inventor in me, having a "moment"

I haven't taken an "accurate" personality test since my college days (unless you count Tickle as accurate, what with tests like What's Your Flavor and the like..) so taking the Myers-Briggs was a little daunting. In the span of 5 minutes, thoughts such as "What if I don't like my results?" or "What if I can't stand what I've become?" plagued my already hazy head. Credit last night Kamikaze and wine binging for that one.

There was nothing to worry about. I spent about 5 minutes answering the test and another 30 minutes laughing at how "accurate" my results were. I mean.. REALLY. Being an eNTp personality, I am apparently a rarity. Of course, the first words to greet me as I clicked on my results page were: scientist, computer genius and.. NERD. Nerd?! Personally, I prefer GEEK. Some highlights from my analysis:


Goals in life: independence
(ha! that explains the new apartment.. and no boyfriend)

What others may not like about Rationals (which eNTp's fall under):
Seem arrogant to others at times -- Sometimes deliberately choose to ignore rules or others' wishes or concerns. Focus instead on their own, more strictly logical picture of what is going on and what should be achieved in the future.
(blame the "i don't care!" office mantra on this. then again, i can't help it if some of them are stiffs)

"eNTps are confident in the value of their interests and display a charming capacity to ignore the standard, the traditional, and the authoritative. As a result of this innovative attitude, they often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and their lives."
(bwahaha. no wonder i don't like being controlled)

The good news for most is that there are only about 2% of us on the planet. I guess the thing is, I see things differently from everyone else and I have the statistics to prove it. ;) Which is why I am more often than not misunderstood.


--------------------------------------

I know I said I was having a moment but this darned thing has lasted over a week. Eep. I can pinpoint the exact moment this moment happened (confused much?) and it's getting more irritating by the minute.

I LOVE being single. Nevermind that my parents are constantly on my case to get a boyfriend (I've had 2 for cryin' out loud! You'd think they'd had enough.), or that everyone I know has either gotten married, had kids or in the dating process. What on earth is SO WRONG about wanting to be single? For now, at least. I attended a party last night and I felt like I was in that scene in Bridget Jones' Diary.. You know, the one where everyone was SO SORRY for her, poor single Bridget. If I were in the movie I'd say BUG OFF!! Hasn't ANYONE seen SINGLES? I quote "Being alone, there's a certain dignity to it." Hell yeah. I can do whatever I want, when I want.. WITHOUT HAVING TO ANSWER TO ANYONE.

Okay, okay. Let's not be too negative here. I'm not saying being single is the greatest thing in the world. I do want to get married and I really really do want to have children. Thing is, I'm only 25. I'm not exactly going through menopause yet so PLEASE give me a break. I'm a good girl.. I don't do drugs or join orgies or even swear. I'm taking the time to enjoy my singledom - walking around by myself (helps me think), dating myself (it's great when you can have coffee alone with a book!) and I just hate all the slack I'm getting just because I'm not attached. I believe that when God thinks I'm ready, that guy will finally come right around the corner but for now, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me enjoy my singledom without being surrounded by patronizing attached women. "Aw, that's okay. You're still young." "You'll meet him soon." Blah blah blah. Growl.

Sorry if I sound like I'm about burst out with a chorus of "I am woman, hear me roar" but as you can probably already tell, I'm getting tired of explaining that I DO like to be alone. Blame it on those girly magazines whose focal point is MEN. How to please men. How to give him what he wants. Eep. I believe wives should serve their husbands but I think just the same that we shouldn't come across as depraved sex slaves either.

Haay. You'd think I had some sort of disease or psych problem. Is the happily single woman really that much of a myth? I really hope not.
