You sure it's not a nicely camouflaged heater?

The fact that I'm currently freezing my toes off in no way effected my decision.

Ah, it's just the case I see.

It's a good choice, though there are some build quality concerns. I'm thinking about getting one of their full-towers to enlarge my computer.

I just took this test, and it told me I'm an INTJ at 33, 38, 12 and 1.

I don't identify with the whole profile but there you go.

I'm not surprised.  If you're near middle-balanced on everything, you probably won't identify too strongly with any one archetype.

I'm also not surprised to see a lot of INTPs playing Dwarf Fortress :P

I'm near 100% on N and P.  I think I actually am 100% P.  I'm around 80% Introvert.  I'm only like 5-7% F if I remember.

And as expected, I'm totally a dreamer and hardcore idealist, but also extremely critical of my own ideas before accepting them.  It's really rare for someone to have a response to something I say that I didn't already go over in my head.

TBH it's rather hard to keep this up for an extended period of time, as your personality will probably "leak through". This awesome you is also probably not as awesome/different as you think.

I think you actually get to know people better online than you do in real life.  Online there are no inhibitions.  Yes, this means people lie more, but those lies would probably be more restrained in person.  You get to know them for the liar they really are, if that makes any sense.  In person it takes time for people to get to know each other and let go of their inhibitions.

I've been making friends online since I was 13, btw, and ended up marrying a girl I met that year, 14 years ago.  I get annoyed when people downplay the "reality" of online friendships or personas.

Can you clarify? I'm not sure I understand.

I mean, if I tried to act like a brash, extroverted, dumb jackass I'd probably quieten down to the real me after a while.


Oh, and what do the low scores/high scores represent anyways? If you get a low score, does that mean another profile would match you better, or something?

Here's an easy example.  If you find out a girl you've been chatting with for months has been showing you fake pictures, you just found out how insecure she really is.  In real life, you would probably be able to tell she's insecure, but the symptoms would be toned down and you might not realize just how deep it runs.  Yes, a lot you thought you knew about her just turned out to be a lie, but in the process you ended up knowing her on a deeper level.

If you're 5% introvert, that doesn't mean you're 95% extrovert.  You lean towards introvert, but only by a small amount.  0% is the exact middle between the dichotomies.

I got a brand new, fast and shiny computer for Christmas. My brother deleted Win32.

Feh, call him a jackass and reformat. Then reformat his hard drive/sabotage his PC. :P
