Introvert. Can't be around too many people for too long, I find it draining. I like small crowds and need alone time to come back to center. Most of the time I don't answer calls unless it's important or I want to go out. Like aquaagi I like doing things by myself for the most part because doing them with your friends more likely than not slows you down and you get side-tracked... except for hanging out, partying or whatever.

It's funny cuz I think at some point I mentioned a 'balloon' commment 😛 There's actually a reason for that. It's because sometimes I can be kinda hyper and talkative and then suddenly I'll go very quiet and thoughtful, so I imagined myself as a balloon that deflates lol Once I start going, 'uhuh uhuh yeah hah' my aqua friend likes to ask me, 'did you deflate already?' ha ha ha I can only listen to so much lol I lose interest rather quickly and escape into my vast world of thoughts or most likely got lost wondering why they say what they do or do what they do or why they react like this or that or la la la la la there I go la la la

Actually there's a test, Myers Briggs which is AMAZINGLY accurate! There is 16 types of people and you're placed into one of them but that is the most accurate description I have ever read about myself! no joke! Once you got your type you can find tons of information about it on the web. My results mentioned so many interests or tendencies that I have which was really weird because the questions had nothing to do with that kind of stuff... I'd give it a 98 percent accuracy just to be on the safe side
I got /istp/ which is introvert instead of extrovert, sensing instead of intuition, thinking instead of feeling and perceptive instead of judgmental
I recommend this test... plus it's fun to read about it, and make sure to answer very honestly

I think I could pull off getting the hosting part out of the way but it would be very mild version of just being polite and ass kissing stuff that you do at work or something to customers or clients.Im very much introverted unless theres people I know or the occassional instant click stuff happens and then I still just pretty much stick to them otherwise I keep to myself all together beyond being asked something and such.I'd do what I have to in that case:/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.

Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empat
