I share the same view regarding psychological personality tests and astrologie: they feel the same. My approach is just as a curiosity, not something to take very serious. In fact, in my case, I allays tended to be very skeptical with both. Even with psychology itself and it's approach, the idea of finding patterns and dividing human beings in separated box's of behavior, I was never very fond of it, because I think each person is unique in its own way, and psychological approach make me feel like a pre-determined robot, I prefer some chaos when it comes to finding out my personality xD But this is just my personal feeling about it. Regarding this specific test, I only know it for about 1 year, and it is just a curiosity, I shared it only because I am curious to know if it is more or less right with other people like it was with me, to find out if it was a coincidence or not. And mostly, I asked you, because by reading your blog I guess your personality type of the test is close to mine, so was curious if my guess was right or not xD

I always thought that a lot of this kind of tests have a trap: they generalize to much, and talk positive things, and so it is hard to not like what they say about us. I always thought this about these tests and astrologie, but oddly some time ago I bought an old book describing each sign personality, and it focused a lot on the bad side of each person, it was not the usual positive generalized easy words, and it was correct in almost everything, even regarding things like my health and most frequent diseases (100% right about my main healt problems o.O)! It made me go from an astrologie atheist to a curious aghnostic xD Now I try to stay open minded, and I am allways curious to know if other people find their signs to be true to their nature, or if my case was just a coincidence xD PS: out of curiosity my main sign is Capricorn, the ascendant/rising sing is Pisces.

Regarding this specific psychological test, to me it was interesting because it was the first time I read a lot about introversion/extroverted. And it was correct regarding some things and feelings that I normally don't share. It could be coincidence, but was a good reflection/meditation about myself, even the process of disagreeing with some things made a good introspection material, thats why I like to read this stuff, even thought I am skeptical about it.

Regarding misunderstandings when people read your blog, I understand what you mean and I am very aware of that in my daily life. This kind of misunderstandings only reflect what other people feel/are inside, because a lot of times people perceive the world and others trough their own experiences and feelings, a lot of people see the others trough a mirror not trough a window. This kind of misunderstandings mostly shows what goes inside themselfs and how they would feel if they were the protagonist of what they are reading. To me this is a sad existentialist phenomenon and very common as a human being in the daily life, I ask myself a lot of time how deeply I know anyone, or if anyone real knows and loves the real me or just a wrong version of what I real am (some relationships tend to suffer from this phenomenon, after many years people start to realize that they have been loving a false version, made in their heads, of the real other). Because of that I tend to frequently question the image I have of others in my mind, I take it only as blueprint, because I know that it takes a lot to real know anyone. To real know someone one needs to forget ourselfs first, and that is hard sometimes.
A curiosity: the image I have in my mind of you, is someone that is true to himself, even tough did not fit the norm, is at peace with it and himself, and has transcended social difficulties; even tough had/has is own battles his strong and have built a life respecting his principles and his way, true to himself. That is why it is positive to follow your blog, keep true to yourself :) I find our social challenges similar, but not how we deal with them, when I wrote about difficulties and feeling awkward for being different, I was talking only about me. I am still a rookie/apprentice in this field xD

PS: I read again my last comment, and the english is awful!! Sometimes I may want to say one thing, but change the words or wrong spelling and say others not intended - ignore in that cases or when it sounds confusing (my brain tend to change words sometimes, I think in one thing but write other, even in my main language >.<). I switched from windows to ubuntu recently, and have been using Gedit to write (don't have spell check). And when I arrive from work I am too tired and lazy to read twice or search for a spell check, so sorry if my english sounds childish/lazy sometimes xD

Later will read your new post about the test =)
