damn... I'd hate to see what I would have scored 5 years ago when I was in my wild child phase

and this is also considering the fact that I don't like people who go out of thier way to TRY to be weird... those who are naturally odd I'm quite fond of, but people who try too hard are such a lame turnoff that I voted no to several options in fear of Apple toting wannabe hipsters

Yes, we probably both qualify as some sort of SP mutant-hybrid thing Common for ExxPs and type 7s but then you're more of a mystery since you are neither of those...

More on sensation seeking

Sensation seeking is a personality trait expressed in behaviour as a tendency to seek varied, novel, complex and intense sensations and experiences and to take physical risks for the sake of having such experiences.

These experiences could take the form of extreme adventure activities such as skydiving, snowboarding and mountain climbing. But the trait can also express itself in high drug, alcohol or tobacco use.

Men generally score higher than women on the total score and on all the subscales except Experience Seeking. Sensation Seeking Scale scores increase during childhood, peak in the late teens or early twenties, and thereafter decrease steadily with age.

People with similar scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale also tend to be more romantically compatible with each other.

Divorced males score higher than single and married males, and divorced and single females score higher than married females.

Oh yeah definitely you too. For shizzle.

In fact I remember both of us getting ganged up on by NFs saying we were SFPs because we disagreed with them in a thread.
