: : 1) It's both depressing and humorous when white people listen to rap.

: Why do you say that? Would you be depressed and gladdened if a black person listened to Celtic music? Would it sadden and amuse you to watch a Native American dance to a Lithuanian folk song?

Let me revise this slightly to explain my point of view. I think it's pretentious for sheltered middle-class white kids to listen to gangsta rap, replete with its references of 40 ounce Mickey's and getting sucked off by hoes at the corner of Florence and Normandy.

: : 2) I don't think it's possible to be an Extraverted Five since the essence of a Five is introversion. You may have Five-like qualities. Perhaps you are an intelligent Seven?

: The essence of a five is thought, not introversion. Deep thinking may be facilitated by introversion, but it's not necessary. Don't have fixed images of the characteristics of the various types; they can vary quite a bit.

Fives retreat from the outer world to the inner one. They prefer being alone than with many people. They are very private with their lives. Most of the Five's quirks involve introversion in some form or another.

: : 3) 157 IQ? Sorry, that online European IQ test doesn't count. But seriously, do you realize how RARE that is? What IQ test did you take?

: That's about 1 in 5,400. It's not impossibly rare, although it certainly is not common.

I doubt anyone on this board can come close to that score.
