Do you, by chance, live in the nearbies of Malmo-Gotenborg? (I'm asking because, I'm going to Copenhagen for 5 months, so if you lived near there we may meet for a beer, given that I'm surely going to explore southern sweden)

Cool Smilingeyes, glad there's a sort of rudder taking you in the right direction - or rather than the "right" direction, a direction which is favourable to you etc....
I keep telling myself that if I work enough, then i'll be able to get myself into a position where I can sit back and relax without having to worry or have too much drive, and this way I can spend time doing the enjoyable things like family or driving some overly expensive vehicle in New Zealand.
Oh, I do recommend New Zealand over Scotland, we've got similar scenery here, but, you know, the weathers crap- but - living in a nice big cosy house, it looks pretty good from the inside through the window...
Oh, and re the feeling tired thing, i've felt sort of like that a bit recently, I've told myself it's my bodies way of giving me some initial notice to make good my security in life, maybe i'll become old and boring, but i'll laugh at me being like that too, lol...
Oh, and re the socionic thing (and not necessarily just that), as usual, you speak a fair amount of sense imo.
Edit: not much else to say, i'll keep my eye on your column from time to time incase you pop up again.

Cheers, just a random update on my column. Nice to see this place is still going on. Maintains a bit of constancy and faith in the world.
I just moved to the capital and expect to finish my surgery training in the next couple of years. Sadly had to leave my gf due to the move. Still hoping she'll join me later, but who knows.
Restarted doing research. More fun brain imaging equipment lying around than I can shake a stick at.
On socionics front I'm still trying to get better at quick typing. I found a new hobby of typing CBS Survivor participants. I saw there were some threads but rather incomplete ones or if there was a complete one, I didn't find it. Anyway, I might or might not surprise you people with another catalogue thread some time. For fun. To reiterate, for fun, not doing this intensely (checking and rechecking etc.)
That's all methinks. Just touching base. Have a good one y'all.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Some of them are involved with sports. Both Benjamin Wade and Ethan Zohn are intuitives who are involved with soccer. But mostly these people are involved with the social sport of "Survivor" reality game show.

Oh my, I wonder how this will turn out.
Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

yay, Ojos Sonrientes is back.
hi, you're back! any chance you'd pick sth that's not such bad tv..?
no offense meant, i just can't watch reality shows. cheers
Uh, well, the only meaningful tv material to analyze is stuff without a script, so what's left? Analyzing sports? Talk shows? Televized cabinet sessions? Doesn't seem as good. The very core of the Survivor show is about forming social relationships, alliances, trust and breaking them. That, if anything, is great material for socionics analysis.
I can't really agree on it being bad tv either. 20 seasons in the US, syndicated and sold as a format to who knows how many countries. Voted "the most influential show of the 2000 decennium" (or something like that), with massive audiences (at least in the beginning), creating a new tv genre. That's a success story. That's good tv in my book. But I agree that as entertainment, it's kind of uninteresting and I find it almost impossible to watch an entire episode (watching the challenges is particularly boring.)

I'm not a VI proponent, but i've noticed the more people I type the more I notice some similarities between them.
The issue with VI though - if it's purely facial, i've noticed is the actual looking at a person. Well, looking at someone gives them the wrong idea unless it's nothing more than a cursory glance. They make think I fancy them (female), I want to fight them (male) or I fancy them (male).
I've been working in different teams of late in relation to my job, so more people is increasing my typing abilities. Probably answer is like most things...experience experience experience...meet more and more dudes and dudettes.
However, there's a lot to be gained from watching someones actions. I've noticed ENFp's can tend to be somewhat ungraceful when they walk, they sort of plod from A to B for instance, yet somehow get there. Not that little cues like that actually make a type, but I find that it is useful enough to give a cursory consideration - it can just as easily be discarded on interaction with the person, nothing particularly lost in that respect.
