HAHAHAHHAHAHA YES!!!!! I have absolutely NO concept of normal time. I am infamous for my tardiness to work and school (and every other place I go, for that matter). I just don't see the importance of it. In America especially, time has a very high value placed over it. It shows responsibility if one is punctual...but...I just dont freakin' care! What's the difference if I arrive at work at 6:00 or 6:03??? To many people (in the MBTI, Js especially) those extra 3 minutes are seen as reason enough to be terminated from a position.

I do things as I get to the urge, not on a schedule. Perhaps that's why MBTI Ps often have a hard time in school and are unhappy in "traditional" jobs where punctuality is stressed! Time is seen as a barrier and something holding them back, when they could be Free, and living by their heart's whim.

: I have absolutely no sense of time. Do the rest of you find this? One of my books says that Fours experience time as related to meaningful experience and i think were suggesting a lack of awareness of actual time as denoted by clocks and watches. It showed how all the types experience time in different ways. May have been Richard Rohr book. Are you scatty about time. Mary Daly (feminist post-Christian theologian) would say we lived in fey, or fairy, time. Time runs differently in our world, like in Narnia.
