jung test / conversation

EDIT: BREAKING NEWS!!!

e-mail from president of compclub management comm:

It has come to our attention that the University Administration is undergoing considerations and negotiations with the SoC administration about the reallocation of premises.

The situation is that some other entity within NUS, required by regulations, need to expand and it has been slated to take over the current SoC plot. Therefore, University Admin is considering moving us to the existing Faculty of Law and some of the surrounding buildings.

my first response: wtf! my second response: but that's closer to where i'm staying now, i no longer need to rush for classes, yippie! my third response: argh! can't see classy science girls anymore (just kidding, but who knows whether i'm really joking or not). seriously, science girls are the classiest lots in NUS, whereas arts/biz girls are more of the modern, bitchy (for the lack of vocabulary--blame me) kind (whoops!). my fourth response: shit! so many arts/biz chiobus around, we very paiseh one walking around with laptop (not that i have one) and geeky face around.

my fifth response: erm, so now you know that i'm a computing student huh?

WOW! finally. i took the test again (from similarminds.com). you know i think this is far more accurate than the test i took the last time. the last time i got something that was quite rare but i don't think it accurately described my personality. this current one is more accurate. as expected, i scored right in the middle on E and I scale. i took another test that gave ENFP by only 1% margin (i.e. 51:49 for E:I). i tend to believe myself to be rather on the I side then E, by however little.

i don't really know the difference between intuitive and sensing so nothing much to say. except that i follow my gut feelings a lot of times. so i guess, that's intuition, right?

feeling vs. thinking? it's amazing. i always thought i'm a thinking kind of guy until recently. i mean, i used to be top scorer in secondary school and top 5% in JC. i went to academic competitions every now and then. i would have liked to think of myself as a thinking person. but no. recently, i figured that i've been lying to myself all these time. oh yes, you might think i'm smart and all, but really, most of the time, i use my feeling and intuition more than my little brain. that's how i usually went the right path when doing maths questions. no, i didn't think and plan how am i supposed to be doing those questions, i just go down the paths dictated by my gut feelings. i remembered taking this test in jc and i specifically forced myself to become a T person. today, i can honestly say that i took this test as honest as i can. i have no one else to prove myself to but to myself. what's the point of doing 108 questions if at the end everything is just some random bullshit i tried to make myself believe in.

P--perceiving. highly expected. in fact, it's the most notable thing i have. strongly perceiving. too strong sometime. you know, being a P can be a non-asset sometime. ever look down on people just because you think they're bad or what? happens to me sometime. i don't see factual information that the person is bad or what, but i simply think so. sometime i perceive a person to be good and all while factually they are proven bad. sigh. luckily at other time, i perceive people correctly. brought me quite far the past two years. gave me the right kind of friends around me, however few there might be.

back to I/E--you know, i seriously think that my I decreased and my E increased over the year. right now, it's dropping again. i mean, in primary school and secondary school (sec 1 to 3), i must say that i'm more introverted than extroverted. in fact, i was very introverted, so much so that i had difficulties finding friends in secondary school when i first came to singapore. that's when i crazily went on to study like a mad cow and scored highest for that cohort that year. but starting from sec 4 and lasting all the way until a few months ago, when i entered university, my E exploded. i don't exactly know why. probably it's the effect of having such a fun class in sec 4. people that, in sec 3, disliked me because of my studious behaviour grew to accept me. i couldn't believe they gave me that chance to change.

but seriously, if you were thinking that i'm an E, like most people do right now, remove that out of your mind. i'm a balanced E/I. i can talk to people easily but that doesn't mean i like to be among people all the time. in fact, the best time for me sometime is to spend my time alone in my room or with a few close friends (or disturbing somebody recently).

wmn was quite surprised when i answered her extroverted/introverted question yeesterday with an I. she always thought that i'm an E kind due to my crazy nature during orientation last time (she was in my OG). i can talk to people, no doubt. but i don't enjoy just talking. talking alone is useless. you know, sometime you just talk to people yet you couldn't recall whatever you were talking about? remember all those moments you asked people, "how are you doing?" without really meaning them? remember how people do that to you too? what for having all these meaningless conversation? for politeness sake i guess. but there are those little conversations that you really meant. those conversations where you go over the boundaries just to talk to the other side. those time you spent your time even when tonnes of things are waiting to be done. those time when having those conversations seems almost worth it to stop bothering about tests, exams and projects. i might not have so many friends, but i'm glad that i frequently have this kind of conversations. conversations that i wouldn't simply forget. conversations that deserve to be remembered.

oh, and one thing about conversation and love: i told a lot of people about this. i told eysc and wmn recently too. when conversation does not go well, don't even think of going into 'love' region. no way you'll survive. before you even bother thinking of having a relationship with a person, make sure you can converse well with that person. i'm fucking guilty of this and i won't repeat my mistake ever again. about past half a year into my first relationship (and the last one so far), i realized that we don't have much things to talk about. our conversations weren't even going smoothly. yet, i was quite dumb right then. i thought it didn't matter much, but it did really. when you can't even hold a proper conversation with your other half, then you're screwed! you can't even convey what you are really feeling at those times. and you got tired; every conversations become more and more trying. conversations supposed to refresh you, not the other way round. having no proper conversation dries a person up and we were no exception.

so? what's my resolution? before i dare venture into another relationship, i'll make sure that at the very least, i could converse well with the other person. oh, and small conversations are the one that create impressions. so those people that talk a lot with me, beware! i might fall in love with you! so slam, eysc, roy, you all should be very worried now. -evil laugh- talking about that, i recalled a conversation i had yesterday (see the post before this for picture).

meyl: u bleach freak lar.. until need to camp
me: well, wat to do.. no gf one, like this lor.. =P
meyl: haha.. nehh.. ur 2 gay partners lor

Q: when you heard this phrase, what's the first thing you think of--to be or not to be, that's the question?
A: surprisingly, not Hamlet like most people would have thought themselves. my brain immediately diverted into another phrase--to to to be or not to to to be, that's the question. it's from this detective series called the three detectives or whatever (i read the non-english translation) by Alfred Hitchcock. it's one of the clue that leads them into thinking about 222B Baker Street.
