I consider myself a sensitive and pragmatic dreamer with a passion for life and learning. I am a voracious reader, write poetry and prose, dabble in art of various forms and love to watch movies – enjoying anything from a dark, gritty sci-fi flick (Blade Runner, Matrix, etc.) to a sappy Jane Austen romance, depending on the current frame of mind. Attending concerts is another favorite pastime (rocking out to a great metal band or being serenaded by a soothing symphony would suit me equally). Just relaxing with a good cup of coffee and my cats on a rainy spring day is high on my list of guilty pleasures. Spending time with a few special people to share my thoughtful musings and sardonic rants with is paramount.
I am a lifelong learner in the autodidactic sense who believes that people can be boundless founts of knowledge, as well as books. Delving deeply into the life and physical sciences, philosophy, psychology, technology, or any fairly fascinating natural phenomena is the crux of my mind’s existence. I possess an infinite, insatiable curiosity about the universe and everything within it, from nebulae down to neutrons. At any given time I will be thinking, reading, reflecting, analyzing, or on some sort of information reconnaissance mission - I need to figure things out!
My sense of spirituality, I think, is fueled by a sense of wonderment for all that surrounds me. I am forever in awe of the splendor of nature with its power to reinvigorate the soul, whether it is standing on terra firma imbibing the serenity of mountain and desertscapes or floating on the misted shores of the cosmic ocean. Having explored a number of belief systems and philosophies, I try to incorporate the best of these into my own personal sense of ethics and overarching worldview. I believe in universally respecting, nurturing and living in harmony with other human beings, animals and nature; and regard my own search for truth and beauty in the universe as a continual work in progress. On the wings of imagination, I aspire to travel from the corners of my mind to the ends of the earth with my fellow wonderers… :-)
INTJ - "The Free-Thinker"
INTJs are strong individualists who seek new angles or novel ways of looking at things. They enjoy coming to new understandings. They are insightful and mentally quick; however, this mental quickness may not always be outwardly apparent to others since they keep a great deal to themselves. They are very determined people who trust their vision of the possibilities, regardless of what others think. They may even be considered the most independent of all of the sixteen personality types. INTJs are at their best in quietly and firmly developing their ideas, theories, and principles. 1.5% of total population.Your Personality Profile

Fall Over The Edge
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
You're a Type 5 - The Experimenter!
Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your probing intelligence and open-minded approach to life. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you can be counted on to give them a carefully considered answer based on keen observations. As an Experimenter, you're likely to be seen as a capable and competent individual with a visionary outlook.
Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Renowned painter Georgia O'Keefe, with her reclusive nature and intense focus on her craft, and Albert Einstein, with his groundbreaking theorems and unprecedented view of the spacetime continuum, were also Type 5s.
This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of perception as well as a curious and innovative mind. In fact, like many Experimenters, you have a strong drive to understand how things work.
