Just wondered what most NT's have as hobbies.


Mine is multiboxing.

In short, multiboxing is playing one game simultaniously on multiple computers, wielding multiple characters all at the same time.

Most profound in MMORPG's but date back to MUD's. (I, for example, play four characters simultaniously in the game World of Warcraft. But some go as far as to play up to 36 characters at once, if they're rich enough. x) ).
For most people it's the challenge of playing an entire party as effectively or even more effectively then multiple individuals playing together. It requires a lot of focus and capability to multitask to become really good at it. And the setting up part of it all is quite complex as well, in creating the set up that suits you best.


In the community I am part of we held a personality test. And these were the results:

28% INTJ (17)
23% INTP (14)
12% ISTJ (7)
12% INFJ (7)
5% ENTJ (3)
3% ISFJ (2)
3% ISTP (2)
3% ISFP (2)
3% ENTP (2)
2% INFP (1)
2% ESFP (1)
2% ESFJ (1)
2% Uncertain (1)
0% ESTP
0% ENFP
0% ESTJ
0% ENFJ

It seems ~60% of the community that multiboxes is NT. Even though on the total world population it's the rarest. :)

Anyone know of other typical NT hobbies?

Reading (duh), word games, math games (sudoku and the like), and various outdoor activities (preferrably alone, but with a companion when necessary/practical).

^ This. Once I've understood the basics of something, I lose interest, knowing that with enough practice I can master the complicated stuff. I've never held down a hobby because of this.

Playing board games or video games.
Designing board games or video games.
Or how about hacking video games (can't really hack a board game, per se).

Ummmm... but most of the stuff I do is, kind of nebulous? I do read though.

My core interests are anime, gaming (electronic and otherwise), reading (primarily fiction and philosophy), learning about science, technology, and foreign languages, and writing stories. Anime has definitely been the strongest, I have over 200 DVDs and an additional 100 books of manga, as well as other related pieces of merchandise.

Other than that, my interests tend to fluctuate alot. Currently I'm involved in practicing martial arts, drawing, and learning about venomous organisms. Past hobbies/things I've dabbled in have been:
-Cooking (which I'm still decent at, and I work as a cook during summers)
-Recreating historical battles in Starcraft
-"Educating" the unaware masses of conspiracies
-Magic tricks
-Playing drums (hope to start again soon)

I think anything really. To name but a few:

Photography
Graphic Design
Singing
Classical piano playing
Yoga
Dancing
Tennis
Western and Oriental Philosophy
Literature
Comics
Movies
Herbs and Homeopathy
Growing my own vegetables
Languages (most recent ones Spanish and Chinese)
Interior Decor
Cooking Indian, Thai and Chinese
Writing
Going to venues

I'm inspired by everything that's not too introvert (like computer programming) or clashing with my values (ie. killing animals or doing something just for its status value).

oh yeah, exactly. it's quite a turn off once i figure something out. it's not interesting anymore.

i would rather go find something else to do than, do the same thing i know how to do.;)
