Sure it's just a preference but I find it much easier and simpler to say "I don't like hanging out in huge parties where people only talk, I prefer talking in smaller groups of people" than something so vague that it's practically meaningless because it tries to cover all the bases. I never felt like I discovered anything about myself from a personality test, tests only raised more questions while giving no real answers. It really does feel like confirmation bias. If you really want to discover your preference for something 100% just go out, do it, and find out, nothing less is a suitable substitute. + Show Spoiler [yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RYUHUDz.jpg) I would wholeheartedly agree the tests you take are dumb. You're much better off reading about it (cognitive functions etc). I tested way off from what I really am. Knowing the 4 myers-briggs letters only simplifies things. As humans we constantly categorize/compartmentalize so things are easier and quicker to convey. It doesn't limit you in anyway. Understanding yourself can help with satisfaction in life, coping with stressors, and interacting and communicating with people. If a coworker makes a statement I know how I would respond or the answer I'd be looking for with that question. However, I know she's an ISTJ after spending plenty of time with her. When she makes that statement I'm more apt to make a response that she understands and actually wanted in the first place. Happens all the time. At this point I may be agreeing with you though... the tests are dumb, it's better to get some understanding of personality types and cognitive functions and do some reflection in the real world  | ||

For all the years I watched anime, when I look back I regret not studying Japanese earnestly until way later. Having that level of Japanese language exposure and not doing anything with it makes me sad. | ||

I'm also so glad Liar Game is back but it's the final arc T.T On April 04 2014 21:23 jcarlsoniv wrote: I spent far too long last night listening to Baby Metal. I regret nothing. Haha did you see that episode of Fine Brothers too? But seriously Babymetal is my new jam. Jokes aside the beat and guitar is surprisingly fucking awesome. | ||

Jokes aside the beat and guitar is surprisingly fucking awesome. i'm with you on the appeal of the mushishi anime. i read the manga long before i knew about the anime (originally typed 'before the anime came out', but turns out it aired in 2005...it's older than i expected) and thought it was fantastic, but the anime was even better. i think you could get away with not reading the manga in this case liar game started out strong, somehow got even better (the smuggling game was amazing), but then i feel like the games started getting a bit too contrived somewhere around musical chairs. huge props to the author regardless, though, for making a game manga that isn't absolutely stupid (usugoi, gamble fish, and a ton of forgettable others) | ||

They do youtube videos of "Kids/Teens/Youtubers/Old People React to X", and the latest one was Baby Metal. Sometimes their reactions are funnier than the videos they're watching. But yeah, line and Gimme Chocolate have been spinning since last night haha. | ||

Major props to that dude. | ||
