About Me

ein Rufer in der Wüste.

how to spot INTJs:
* cool, formal and independent
* intellectual, logical, and skeptical
* complex, and challenging with a sometimes superior attitude
* conservative dressers with an individual look

Other people may have a difficult time understanding an INTJ. They may see them as aloof and reserved. Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That doesn't mean that he or she doesn't truly have affection or regard for others, they simply do not typically feel the need to express it. Others may falsely perceive the INTJ as being rigid and set in their ways. Nothing could be further from the truth, because the INTJ is committed to always finding the objective best strategy to implement their ideas. The INTJ is usually quite open to hearing an alternative way of doing something.

My Interests

entropy. altruism. eudaimonia. serendipity. dealing with pet peeves.

I'd like to meet:

une passante

fallen aristocracy and sophisticated proles. critics with standing. observers and outsiders. kind-hearted literati. players of chess, scrabble, trivial pursuit, and the like

Music:

our menu changes daily to reflect what is freshest, ripest, juiciest and most eye-catchingly, mouth wateringly tantalizing in the market each day

Movies:

movies that make you feel really bad about being alive. and movies that make mean jokes. and wong kar wei movies. and movies with subtitles. and documentaries. and movies that confuse people. and then stuff like indiana jones.

Books:

nausea, the brothers karamazov, battle royale, arrowsmith, paradise lost, confederacy of dunces, henry james, thomas hardy. i'd like to get up to date; my reading list doesn't really go beyond about 1960. there's a lot of poorly written crap out there. if you recommend a book that's well written and that articulates something of consequence, i'll read it. of course, if it turns out to be a big turd, i'll condemn you for it and forever taunt you as a tasteless fan of crap. vice and mcsweeney's and the believer magazine (but not nick hornby, cos he's rubbish)

Heroes:

the elderly
