So...gee, who's surprised? I'm an introvert by trade, and a history geek in a past life... :) I'd like to go into academia, but there are times I'm not sure they'd have me. Those are the two that stand out.

The math and music...well, there are times I'm more than now, music would have prolly been more if I was more coordinated. My attempt to learn guitar ended with me giving myself RSI in my left wrist, and if it came down to a choice between typing and guitar...well, that's not a choice, and I made it. (I should get a wrist brace and see if it helps, though. (However, I'm completely and utterly tone deaf, and will happily play the guitar when it's horriby out of tune, which makes my more musically inclined sister grab her ears and scream in frustration.)

There are moments where I manage to geek out on java code, I can be quite the techy when I'm in certain moods...hey, there's an idea, come back to this and see how it changes depending on my mood. Right now I'm in a not quite depressed not quite manic mood, but definitely not a stable mood.

But yeah, seriously, did this really surprise anyone?

It surprises me that you scored as being more balanced between intra/interpersonal than I am. I would definitely be interested in seeing how mood affects the scores, some day when the idea appeals to you.

Hmm. quick clarification on that, I guess. I was expecting you to score as more introverted than I am. You scored as almost centred -- and I hadn't thought I was really that markedly introverted.

Well...if I get a choice in the matter, I'd prefer to be on my own. But if I have to, I can sometimes reach back, pull something out, and be quite the social butterfly. But sometimes it's exhausting as all hell.

I need people to ground me, even if it's just my close friends. (And I counted, and sure enough I have three close friends -- Patrick, Ari, and Calc, with Shad probably being a better friend if I were able to afford calling him. Voice helps the connection, I've noted, but I'm never going to take that to the extreme lengths somebody who was in our mutual circle of friends took it. Not mentioning names because the person in question is still in another circle I hang out in.)

And that prolly explains that.

Indeed. And I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm more willing to shut everything down and walk out permanently. Doesn't mean I don't care for and maybe miss , but I've never yet met anyone I really couldn't do without. These days more than ever. Your way is probably overall better, though. :)
