INTJ-T
*Note: I do not believe in MBTI as much as I did before. I still identify with the INTJ result more than any other result, which is why I am keeping it up on my profile page, but I do believe there is some tricky pseudoscience, Barnum effect, and overgeneralization in MBTI. As much as I identify with the INTJ result, I do not think a single four-letter acronym can fully encapsulate the nuances of my personality. In fact, I might need MULTIPLE four-letter acronyms to tell you about the various aspects of my personality: I have a small but crucial ISFP alter ego, and I do think and behave in an INTP-manner when it comes to generating ideas or learning a new topic of my interest. Plus, I sort of hav ...more

Popular Answered Questions

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Lucy Carter I have a couple of mysteries in my life, as of right now; whether or not they are well-qualified for a book may vary from perspective to perspective, 鈥辞谤别I have a couple of mysteries in my life, as of right now; whether or not they are well-qualified for a book may vary from perspective to perspective, but I find these to be VERY difficult mysteries, so I suppose they could be possible considerations for book ideas:
1. Is it best for ME (Lucy) to pursue college education or self-education? I was so intrigued by this mystery that I asked for an answer to this on my birthday list, so I'll just have to wait until my birthday to see what my family thinks, since I am still vacillating between the two options! XD I'll probably have to independently make the actual decision once I get my family's testimonies, so it could make a very good book. ;) ;) ;)
2. Am I a Christian because my parents are Christian, or because I inherently have the potential, dedication, and personality characteristics to believe in Christianity? (I have always thought that either agnosticism or atheism would best fit my lifestyle and personality. I believe in rational skepticism! I tend to stay true to my own beliefs (and those beliefs should include rational skepticism), but this instance is a tremendous exception. I must make an allusion to "Lost in Space"---sometimes, it seems as if I was just PROGRAMMED to be a Christian by being raised by Christian parents, but from my perspective, I don't believe that I necessarily and exactly had a self-seeking identity, religiously speaking.) It's actually a very serious and personal mystery in my life, but I might actually write about it and solve the mystery, so that seems promising.
3. Should I listen to music while solving math problems? I love math, and I have been thinking about what life would be like with more music, since my brothers listen to hours of music every day, so I am wondering what it would be like if I solve math problems while listening to music! (lol) This may not seem like a mystery, but it exemplifies the contrast between the practical and the pleasurable: I like math so much that I have this emotional connection to it, but as a student, I know that states standard tests, quizzes, and assignments kind of subtract from that pleasure; what seems to matter most is that you get everything done so your teachers wouldn't be mad at you, and to score high on your states standards tests not because you love arithmetic problem solving, but because it will make you look good to your high school and eventually the college/university you want to apply to. Listening to music while solving math problems may be pleasurable, but eventually, I might stop having the liberties of online homeschooling and have to go to a public school, where the pressure piles. Even with online schooling, I am still affiliated to a middle school, so there is that looming, unwanted truth that the meaning of academics is tests and college degrees. (That is one of the reasons why I have thought about self-education; to be academically strengthened, since I am academic-oriented, but to still be able to have the freedom to embrace the PLEASURES of academic topics.)

What happened at the end was that it was unfinished, making it end at the beginning, leaving a larger void of ambiguity and obscurity. (lol) (less)

Quotes by Lucy Carter (?)

“What do you want?鈥� I asked, trying to ignore him.

鈥淧robably something that you want.鈥�

I rolled my eyes at the emphasis of the word you.

鈥淎nd what would I want?鈥� I asked.

鈥淭o go back to Africa. If you want to live in America as if it's Africa, then you might as well go back to Africa.鈥�

鈥淕o BACK?鈥� I asked, emphasizing my incredulity at the sound of the word back.

鈥淚sn鈥檛 that where you came from?鈥�

鈥淚 mean鈥� I could see it in my ancestry鈥� my parents were of African decency鈥� but I was born in America, and I am legally an American citizen.”

“In the patriarchal societies of ancient Israel, it was considered rewarding and traditional to have multiple wives, just as it was considered rewarding to have honor and wealth, so God, in 2 Samuel 12:7-8, was possibly giving the wives as a reward to David, but not necessarily as a way to permit polygamy. Knowing that God does not change his mind or his original intentions for society [ see Numbers 23:19], we know that God鈥檚 emphasis on the oneness of two spouses in Genesis 2:24 was not to be changed, so, even with the way God rewarded David, it does not indicate that God actually approved of David鈥檚 polygamy.”

“A person could still have what are considered to be 鈥済ood鈥� intentions and do something that does not benefit others. For example, in this old Anime show called MY Hero Academia, there was this villain called Stain who had really good intentions for heroes: he thought that heroes should live up to their potential and do their hero work out of dedication, not just for fame and money, but to enforce those ideals, he would attempt to murder heroes whom he believed did not live up to those ideals.

His intentions would be morally right by current philosophical standards on morality, but he was destroying members of humanity, which is not beneficial to those members. His intentions didn鈥檛 actually follow the duality, because although he intended for humanity to be heroic instead of greedy, he still had spite in himself, so part of his intentions were for the benefit of humanity, but the other part was not. They were, in fact, for the detriment of heroes he disliked. He was not COMPLETELY following the benefit-intention duality.”

“The Eleven king looked sternly upon Thorin, when he was brought before him, and asked him many questions. But Thorin would only say that he was starving.
"Why did you and your folk three times try to attack my people at their merrymaking?" asked the king.
"We did not attack them," answered Thorin, "we came to beg because we were starving."
"Where are your friends now, and what are they doing?"
"I don't know, but I expect that they're all starving in the forest."
"What were you doing in the forest?"
"Looking for food and drink, because we were starving."
"And what brought you into the forest at all?" asked the king angrily.
At that Thorin shut his mouth and would not say another word.”
