The main "SP thing" is that whatever we're into, we do the hell out of it until we're tired of it. I can remember nights I stayed up til 3am watching television, flipping around to all kinds of stuff with no particular intent to watch any specific show. Many, many times the more logical side of my brain would say "GO TO BED" but that "function lust" that Karl Buhler talked about would say "NO WAY DUDE, KEEP FLIPPING, THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING GOOD ON." I'm pretty sure there's several episodes of The Simpsons where you can see Homer demonstrate this same behavior. We have powerful impulses and they are kinda like being in a trance sorta, where the "action" can be something that's not very active at all.
I really keep meaning to start a thread called "Jeffster Illustrates the Artisan Temperament", but then I think, hey, that bug crawling on the floor is pretty frickin cool looking, I'm gonna watch where it goes.
