    I suppose I can be although I don't think my friends and family would describe me that way. The older I get, the easier it is to just be happy.

    i know the feeling, people question your attitude when you turn back into yourself. Its tough, but manageable all the same. I was always asking myself, why i didnt care about the stupid shit half of my friends cared about.

    As are you.
    I'm going to guess it's because you might have seen the choices/answers as absolutes and devoid of contextual references. For example, if asked to choose between being a planner or being impulsive, you might feel differently if it's for work or vacation. The questions are really to detect your preference for one thing over another...more general basic instincts.

    I took the test....and then re-took it, answering the questions in the way I would like to be, traits I admired in other people . The types came out differently and some things I probably won't ever change, but it gave me an idea how to make some adjustments in order to be more successful working with others.

    If you deal with a lot of other people, it's just an easy way to manage the relationships at the office, maybe pick a certain approach to appeal to your boss when negotiating a raise.

    I would've never guessed that you couldn't commit.

    Read Sycamore Lane recently, not one of Grisham's best but it pretty good. King of predictable.
    Started reading the Percy Jackson series, fun light reads.
    Also read Dan Brown's Inferno. Pretty darn good.

    Hey, I am INTJ, too. Not too many it turns out. Probably a good thing.

    Just finished American Sniper, not crazy about it. It was OK but I can already tell the movie will be a lot different.
