What you should tell about yourself?

The normal people aren't accustomed to in-depth psychological analysis. So, how would you translate insight about yourself to say, someone you met on the street, chatted with a few minutes, someone who asked you what you're like?

You don't. No one needs that kind of information in such a short period of time.

If they're a cute fat chick, tell them you are an adventurous guy who really hates our superficial, anorexic culture.

I usually tell people that my testicles are exquisite.
The rest of the conversation just flows naturally from there.

I'm not articulate, at all.

That's what I would tell them. And that I have no steady interests.

Hi, I'm Santtu and I'm an entj which means Te is my dominant function, which means I am very logical and have killer organizational skills which some people, haha, can perceive as arrogance. This is followed by Ni, which enables me to know the absolute best way of doing something (all the time!). My Se helps me strike while the iron is hot even if I step on other's toes sometimes, and Fi makes me even more self-righteous than I already am. Go figure! I sorta suck at Fe but it's not efficient anyway, so it don't really matter. I spend most of my free time wasting my time on some bogus internet forum posting meaningless drivel on pseudo-psychological theories, and the other bit of free time is given up to the Society for Creative Anachronism where I fancy myself a bead-wearing ninja from the Renaissance period. Well, it's been nice talking at to you! Gotta Run!

Maybe you should put this in a context of a dating/social networking site. They always call for self-descriptions, but a lot of people on them are not familiar with MBTI. I must do a bad job because people expect me to be more outgoing when they meet me. I don't know what they think "quiet" and "timid" mean.

One time some complete stranger came up to me on the street and said "Hey, how are you!?" to which I replied "The usual.".

I totally cracked myself up and kept smiling for like an hour. I won that conversation. I was victorious.

I would've frozen up.
