I thank you.



So your previous career you weren't into being a sales representative?

Not unless I've miraculously recovered from the inevitable suicide attempt.

So are you a team leader (or manager)?

Hahahhaha, I just noticed your "failed poetry slam career" title. That's brilliant.

EDIT: how do you change that part of the profile?

Go to User Control Panel (UserCP, select My Settings -> Edit User Profile, edit custom user title. Or just click on the link).

And answer the damn question. :greatscott:

Haha, why is it so important?

But to keep in theme with the thread, not currently.

Are you obsessed with having status?

In the connotative sense, no, I don't believe so.

Although a type three might feel otherwise.

I can be kind of pretentious, but not in a way that has to do with social status, I don't think. And I've been working on calming my know-it-all tendencies for a while.

Confusius once said there is no therapy as effective as promiscuous sex.

Do you agree?

Did you watch the movie?

Yes, I did.

The Good the Bad and the Weird [Korean] (2010) - entertaining, but not my thing.
Castaway on the Moon [Korean] (2009) - good, even comes with unexpected happy ending. I really like that one.

Need a Sil's movie list thread or something, perhaps a blog.

Can't speak for everyone, but that hasn't been my experience.

Did you watch both before I mentioned them or afterwards?

Have you watched any Korean shows before those two?

I watched both, after you posted the names.

No, I don't think I've ever watched any Korean shows.

I don't know whether to feel touched or massively weirded out by your excessive amount of free time.

On an aside, glad you liked Castaway. It's a pleasant film.

:thinking: I seem to create that effect, ever since I can remember.

It was indeed, brave of her to step out.

I thought it might have a similar ending to a Japanese movie that I watched:

In what ways does the ESTJ consider themselves different from the ISTJ? I mean, besides I vs E ;)

ISTJs have a real mean dry humor. They also tend to be wittier, in my experience.

In terms of temperament, they are more low key; the energy they bring to social situations feels more dredged up from their reserves than natural.

Although ISTJs I've met are not afraid of confrontation, they aren't as quick to engage in it if they feel they don't have to.

ESTJs are generally more confrontational in nature and tend to enjoy a social challenge. ISTJs would only get mistaken for enjoying the same if their bluntness is read wrong.

Their focus levels are also much, much higher.


Personally, I see myself as less serious than most ISTJs I've met on the whole. They can be damned funny when they want, but they're generally not as warm as ESTJs. At least in my experience.
