I'd just like to share a tiny bit about one of my major characteristics (or at least I think so): my extreme thinking.
For those who don't know (which is probably everyone, unless I'm mistaken), I seem to think about things a lot of the time e.g. my life, imaginations, moral issues, logic and technicality, 'tough' questions, emotions...etc. Usually, I find myself thinking about one or more of these things. I wonder: does anyone else do this, or am I just strange...(dw I'm not discouraged by that thought). But yeah, I'm just curious.
According to the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality test) I'm a perceiving type (as opposed to a judging type). This means (I think) that I prefer to understand the world by being flexible with my thoughts, with less focus on making my own judgements and sticking to them. I guess you could say that I'm open-minded^^.
Anyways, I find several advantages and disadvantages to this. Firstly, if my thoughts go the right way, several things can happen: I find a satisfying answer to my questions, I find a new way of thinking, my mind opens up a bit more, and my knowledge (and possibly intelligence) increases. My thinking has gotten me quite far in terms of knowledge and, possibly, wisdom (sorry if it sounds like I'm boasting - I'm not). However, there is also a downside to this. If my thoughts get pushed the wrong way, e.g. if I get an unpleasant thought, I tend to worry. I've made a nickname for myself: the king of worrying. And, man, I'm really good at it. I hate it. But anyways, that's a different story.
Now that you see how I think about things (well, at least a little), maybe you'll be prepared for my (possibly) strange posts ^^.
