: How come you never post on any of the other boards?

+++ I focus my energy on this board because I have a busy job and family obligations; so you can't have it all...I like the idea of Internet as learning experience; and analyzing universal icons like movie stars provides the opportunity for communication with people around the world talking about what everybody can see/hear. The truth is not in one person; but the richness of the forum folks personalities gives multi-point of view insights; so you learn a lot more than just reading a book of a guru.

+++ My MBTI type has allways been INTJ, however when taking the NEO-PIR Big Five it suddenly appeared to be ISTJ. Recently I tested myself with a Dutch university made validated Big Five questionnaire and it became INTJ again. The reason was that the NEO measures the inclination to work with proven things, tools etc. (in that I am conservative), and the Dutch version measures the ability to form an opinion independent of what others think (which of course is more close to the MBTI S-N scale). So I guess in MBTI language I am an INTJ.
