luciazephyrThis test is a bit scary...
You are the absentminded professor, the same personality type (in at least one major system) as Albert Einstein. Plato said that the function of your type is to study nature and figure out ways to tame it. You see connections between concepts that others do not.
Ever since you were a child you questioned those in authority, not explicitly trusting teachers or other leaders to really be qualified enough to deliver the instruction they were delivering. You were open to their thoughts, but quick to identify biases or knowledge gaps in those in authority positions.
I think this is the truest statement here. I'm aware that I'm not perfect, so, obviously, no one else is either. At times, I am flat-out disrespectful because of this, but my mouth runs a mile a minute and I have no filter between my mouth and brain.
In fact, skepticism is one of your defining traits.
You quickly brush aside prejudice, convention, custom and tradition for what works and produces results.
You define time by the event, rather than the reverse. You are certainly capable of making and keeping appointments by clock time (although you’re often a few minutes late) but in your mind you are living in a time interval based on a concept, activity or stage which you can clearly define. For you, a time period ends when a certain activity ceases, when a goal is reached, or when your attention naturally shifts rather than when a certain clock alignment occurs.
Is that why I can't sleep in during vacation even though I so want to?
You are objective and when your friends come to you they know they can count on you to deliver the blunt truth. You recover quickly, if flinching at all, when someone puts you down or criticizes you personally. You realize that either the critique was deserved and you intend to correct it, or the person delivering it was incorrectly biased or misinformed and therefore the criticism was inaccurate and inapplicable.
I don't recover THAT quickly, but yes to the rest.
You are known for your impatience with ignorance, incompetence, small talk, fake people, or too much time given to a small matter. You bring total involvement and attention to each moment in life.
You are an intellectual and enjoy logical investigation and theory building. You are honored when someone asks you to explain the rationale behind your latest project, but often find the audience uninterested in nearly the level of detail with which you are capable of discussing.
YES YES YES. I get asked questions so often and then the person just decides 'that's enough now for me' and it pisses me off to no end.
You respect yourself to the degree that you act independent of the impositions of other people. You would never just “go with the flow.” Your mind is always in motion and every action you take is by conscious choice.
You have a wide variety of hobbies which get sporadic attention. Others may become frustrated with the fact that you start many projects but finish few.
Sign of a true fannish folk, that. *grin*
Grade school can be particularly frustrating for your type because your desire to connect the music and mathematics lesson is out of the theoretical range of your respective instructors. You probably did quite well on standardized tests and found college style learning far more appealing.
Oh, thank god. How often do I try to get my instructors to go into the topic I want info on? One day, true story, I was in my physical science class and their to bring up a question about quantum physics. We got into a rather lenghty discussion before the teacher asked, "you wanna come up here and teach this class?" and I was so into it, I stood up, intending to fill my class in on the basics of quantum theory until the teacher told me, "sit down, Lucia." before I realized what I was doing and died of embarassment. *blush*
