I am unlike anyone else that you will ever meet. When I talk to my friends I focus in on them completely. I am a very attentive listener, and people are quick to reveal all their deep, dark secrets when my focus turns to them.
I am very physically affectionate. I'm most attracted to ladies who run up and jump onto me with flying full-body hugs. I have the opposite of "personal space." I'm much more likely to feel disappointed that someone is staying too far away from me than that they're getting too close. Unless they're being obnoxious about hitting on me when I'm clearly not interested, then I suddenly have LOTS of personal space!
I make my living by studying romantic chemistry. I talk about relationships all day long. People used to say that was strange, so I made it my profession and now they understand that I'm just doing my job all of the time. (To me that sounds even stranger, but I'll go with what works).
I think what makes me most different from other people is that I'm really unassuming. That seems surprising coming from a person whose job is to guess everything about your psychology from a 30 minute conversation, but the reason I'm good at that is that I start from scratch with each person and build up a perception of the world based on their assumptions and appreciate that set of rules even though it's different from what I use. I sound really technical when I'm typing out sentences, but in person I'm the smiliest, most accepting and unconditionally loving person you'll meet.
I've been doing my job of psychologically profiling people for so long that I really can't help but analyze people's sentences in every conversation. I look for basic assumptions made in the sentence and word choice among a million other things. Basically I really want to know what you're thinking and how your mind works when you say something, not only the content of what you're saying but how you're seeing the world and interpreting information that leads you to send those particular words out of your mouth in that order.
I travel constantly. I don't feel tied to any particular physical location (working on the Internet allows that, which is wonderful). I travel so much that it stopped making sense to have an apartment in a fixed location, so I've been 'on the road' since March 2006 living with people all over the world who've taken my personality test and want to help train it to recognize real-world personality types better. I have way too many people still on my list to even begin thinking of where my next fixed location should be.
I love the fact that I'm always turning new corners and meeting new people. It is kind of weird to not have a "home." I was hoping that I'd feel like the whole world is my home by traveling so much, but it turns out that every now and then I'd kinda like a room with a closing door which I could hide away in to chill out and recharge. I'm not sure when I'll want to stay in one place again, but for right now I like that I'm constantly walking into the unknown.
I also really enjoy this opportunity to see just how little in the way of material possessions I need to be happy. I can fit everything into three bags, two for carry-on plus one which has a comforter to sleep in. I spend about half of each year without my car (thanks to friends in Tulsa, Newark, Seattle and L.A. who've watched it for me). I have six days of clothes, which I have to replace surprisingly often since I wear them out and accidentally leave things behind.
I talk about personality types constantly. If you are single I can find you true love. It'll be free for you, just write me at [email protected] after you take the personality test (everyone gets the next year free who signs up soon anyway).
Now stop reading and go take the test already! Then write me long notes about the people you met so I can make the system even better.
