Is anyone else here in to art and performing? Perhaps I just seem to run in to the extremely stereotypical, and don't get me wrong as I love psychology and science and all those things us INTJ are "suppose" to involve themselves in or enjoy, but I find for me that I'm far too creative to hold myself to the boundaries in such a field. When I come across INTJ's, many of them are psychologists, doctors, scientists, mathematicians, and so on. Not many are painters, writers, actors, or designers.
So I am just curious, in all the land of Livejournal, how many of us fall in to the arts? I don't think that the arts are any less mentally stimulating than science. In fact I find that scientists or psychologists that are book bound scholars often have no idea what the hell they're doing and simply cannot apply the knowledge they've learned, they lack the creativity of an abstract and open mind.
Take for example, acting. What percentage of us would you figure are actors or enjoy acting? I find that simply piecing together the framework of a character whether a pre-made role or one self-made is just not good enough, not satisfying enough. I find I want to try on their personalities to discover even more about it. I find I'm a very passionate person when it comes to my interests but I show my passion in much less of an overly emotional way most of the time. It distresses me a little when I'm thought of as heartless and dispassionate because I don't often lie, and don't consistently go off the handle with emotions unless I'm feeling particularly flamboyant, find it necessary and appealing to do so, or am a little bit wasted. I'd have to say that no matter what area of interest an INTJ is in, I've never found any that lacks passion.
Also, how many of you seem to get people believing you're an extrovert because you simply talk to much? I find that this is very common with me, people will think I'm quite extroverted and end up knowing not a whole lot about me other than I have opinions and often quite loud ones.
That's all for now, I think. To introduce myself, my name is Michael. I enjoy change, flexibility, abstract thinking, music, acting, and creativity. I'm a performer and Event planner, and yes I am an INTJ.
Cheers to you all.
