You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50%)

2. Astrological sign
aquarius

3. Blood type
no idea, sorry

4. Highest level of Education
high school gcse's -

5. Are you a lucid dreamer?
i do remember experiencing this as a child, i also used to sleepwalk as a child, i still remember some of my dreams from a young age and all of them are strangely eeire and some a little disturbing,

6. Any psychic experiences?
kind of but i'm not claiming that i am psychic its just that somethings are odd and have no explanation that i myself am aware of,
as a child i suffered regular nosebleeds and i always used to know about 30 seconds before that one was coming, if i was in bed i would always wake up and go to the bathroom and then my nose would bleed, at school i'd tell the teachers that my nose was going to bleed and they always looked at me oddly, i know there is probably a scientific explanation for this,

i often know what people are going to ask me even when there is absolutely hint of whats coming,

7. Any paranormal experiences? - yes, starting around september 2011, this was the beginning a complete paradigm shift for me, everything i thought i knew or understood was blown apart in a way that made me question everything about life! the following experiences started to occur at the same time as my personal paradigm shift and its possible they may be relevant, i also know that the following can be explained with science but to me there was nothing normal about these experiences,
all of them occur shortly after falling asleep or when nearly asleep,
first was the feeling like my body was vibrating to the point i felt like i would die if i didn't wake up, i remember being terrified and shouting at myself to wake up... now! it felt very urgent and very real

then auditory sleep start aka exploding head syndrome, when drifting off to sleep suddenly i'd see a bright flash behind my eyelids and a very loud electrical/mechanical sound INSIDE my own head, different every time but often a clicking sound or something short circuiting, after this first happened i actually started to leave the landing light on and the door open because i was really unnerved, it doesn't scare me any more though, but the next experience really unsettles me every time....

sleep paralysis - waking up and not being able to move, but at the same time i knew that if i could just move my arm i'd be free from it, i didn't feel like i could breathe and often felt a presence with me that at the time i thought was my husband but then i managed to break free and i quickly realised he wasn't even there, this is what bothered me the most, the feeling of being so sure someone was with me, on one occasion i thought my husband was giving me mouth to mouth resucitation, i couldn't breath and was trying to ask him what was wrong with me, i thought i was dying, then i managed to move and break from the paralysis and i was by myself, but what the hell could i feel over my face?

the last time it happened my husband said my eyes were closed but i could see his every movement and facial expression as he noticed that i seemed to be struggling in my sleep, i was urging him to pull my arm, instead he clapped his hands to wake me up, very strange

these experiences seemed to have quietened down now,

8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs?
as a child i remember believing that god was everywhere and loved us all, none of my family are religious so i don't know why i felt this way, unfortunately this belief disapeared until october 2011 when after discovering the evil in this world i quickly realised it was all part of a bigger picture, a battle for our souls, a battle of satan against our true creator, in an instant i regained my childhood belief in God. i don't go to church or belong to any organised religion, i just have my own beliefs that many struggle to understand,

9. Have you started any recent hobbies?
only my eager need to keep learning the truth and gain as much understanding of the world as i can, two years ago i would have said reading gossip mags and watching soap operas, i was truly brainwashed.

10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence

i look forward to getting time to read everyone elses replies to your thread, it should be interesting to see how different and alike we actually are, thanks starting this thread

Ok anyone else feel personality tests are biased? Even if personally biased?

I have to interject this because when I took it, I was actually bordering on ENFP instead of INFP.

Now when I answer those questions are they taking into account I may lie to myself? Or I may have a higher ideal of myself or a lower ideal of myself? Do moods have an effect? You get what I am saying? I may not be that personality at my core? Reminds me of some horoscopes some days I go yeah that is me and other I go WTF?

Sort of like I could have my child take the test and then also answer the same questions about them from an observational view. I could put no they are not selfish and yet they answered they are...

I am not trying to draw away from what this thread was trying to accomplish as there seems to be some reason why we have an Anticipation feeling!

Maybe I was having a bad day when I took the test...I hate tests...LOL

I am an INTJ, based on this type of test, several times over many years. I have seen it described as Scientist, System Builder, Mastermind.

When I first took the test I was surprised how it seems to fit. I have to believe there is quite a bit of true in it. My life and interests have mostly followed the path(s) described.

As for as accurate

Wondering if some personalities answer the questions more accurately about there self than others? IE: a personality thing.

I feel the same way. "That is so me!" everyone says when they read their personality traits on every single personality/astrology quiz ever. It's like a one-size-fits-all slipper.

Personality is simply too complex to be put in a finite number of boxes. I can see part of myself in nearly every situation the questions ask me to judge as most accurate.

Left off on Minnie for reference. New graphs as requested. For the record, I'm an accountant so that should explain the Excel fetish, lol.

I almost wonder if the heavy preference towards introversion could be because we are forum users. Basically, we're more likely to be found at home and if introverts are drained by large crowds, then a forum would be a way to control the drain while still being sociable. Who knows.

I have to agree with this idea... at least speaking for myself. I get social fulfillment from family and friends on a part time basis, but find it draining... so my preference is forum social activity where I can chose to participate or not with the benefit of not having to deal with pushy social butterflies yammering small talk in my ear all night long.

By the way, I'm an accountant as well, so your Excel "addict" comment gave me a great chuckle.

I have to agree....socialising online give's me the option to participate or withdraw anytime I like without having to be answerable to anyone.

Call me selfish but I like to socialise on my term's...which generally is when and if I feel like it and for period's of time I please.The good thing online is if you decide you've had enough after 10 min's you don't have to explain to anyone just click log out.

Okay maybe I am sounding a tad anti social rather than selfish lol

Yeah, I found it really fascinating as I was actually putting it into the graphs (like the kind of budget format of the numbers portion? lol). I think it was Byrd that put his in there as a non-waiting comparison and that he was INTJ (didn't add him to this pool though as it is the "waiting" pool). It almost makes me wonder if what we're really seeing is the predominant personality type that we all share. If you think about what ATS is about, it's not hard to imagine that those who would be more patterns of information oriented would be drawn to this site. If nothing else, we can at least feel good about knowing that we are all cut from similar cloth despite any ideological differences. Kind of makes me feel closer to ya'll, lol.

Just curious, and no I don't need meds lol, any here have reoccurring dreams of other world's?

You must've missed the part where I mentioned that I have a bio degree or, more precisely, a degree in biology.

I thought you were a biologist? That's okay, be who you want to be just as long as you're not doing my taxes

Double degrees...
