If you're solving for income I (y),...|||Okay let's see, you got two variables exponentially related... Yeah I think I can do this.

Something about building expansive empires or just hearing stories...|||I believe I have a very hard time accepting things that do not agree with my ideals. I cling to my fantasies and look towards reality as a change far off in the future that I shouldn't worry my...|||I absolutely love the rain!

When I asked my friend why a lot of...|||I would pick ENTP, because I would like to know how the mind of those closest to me turns. I feel like it would make communicating much easier and more fulfilling then on after : )  Edit: I spend...|||I understand your confusion. I hope my perspective can help answer your question.

I'll thank your post for pretty much any small little thing, including...|||Hey everyone, I have been thinking about something else and I wanted to share. When I read that INFPs as children are described as living fanciful lives, pretending to be princes and princesses, I...|||I am a terrible liar. I hate myself for lying to anyone so when I try, I can't help sabotaging myself; it feels like I try to make comedic slip ups and reveal myself in a silly way. I think the only...|||I am very good at math, I think. At the very least, I am persistent. I seem to possess a compulsive need to understand why certain concepts work, and create equations for convoluted problems that...|||I've noticed over enough late nights that when I am tired, but still aware, my brain begins to function somewhat differently. The emotions I previously talked about being unable to really feel come...|||I don't know.. I think I am more concerned with the fate of humanity more than that of the environment, though the two are tied together. When environmental disasters arise or are hinted at, I fear...|||I tested as nearly perfectly balanced with a slight leaning towards right brain dominance (on a different test). Looking at the various traits of the left and right side of the brain, I don't think...|||Going by what I see in debates and intelligent articles on controversial issues, I cannot. I always seem to speak in concepts rather than examples, and I have to circle my argument around several...|||Thank you very, very much for posting this and elaborating as you did Niki. You finally put words to the feelings I had about capitalism, pinpointed and described the part about it that has always...|||For Souled In, in my case these emotions explode exclusively when I am alone.
