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

: : Why? I listen to rap; I view rap to the 90's/00's what rock was to the 60's/70's, or jazz to the 20's(?). Rap is the present musical art form that is more pervasive and influential than any other. The fact that it is made most often (and best) by black artists is not surprising, considering that's where pretty much *all* popular American music has its roots. Rap and hip-hop are a *lot* more fun to dance to than rock or most pop music (though I suppose lots of non-black people prefer techno for dancing). I would estimate that 50% of non-black kids of junior/high school age listen to/like rap at least to some degree.

: : : 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?

: : Maybe. But I view the extra/intro thing as relative to type. So like an extraverted 5 is probably *not* extraverted compared to say a 3/7/8, but rather is extraverted compared to other 5/4/9's. So if there were some absolute scale of extra/intro, say from -10 to +10, most 5's would be in the -10 to -5 range, and most 3's would be in the +10 to +5 range...but an intraverted 3 would only be +1, and an extraverted 5 would be -1. Isn't this sort of how MBTI works?

: : : 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?

: : Is it really that rare? For convenience, when possible I typically correlate SAT scores directly with IQ (I think Mensa does too), so a 1200 I figure is about 120. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I think it's pretty close. I only know 1 person I can think of personally who got over a 1500 (1550 to be exact), so certainly it's "rare", but I'm sure there are tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of people in America who have gotten 1550 or higher in say the past 10 years. I think Harvard has like a "1600 club" for those with perfect SATs! So if Hayley claims an IQ of 157, I personally don't give it a second thought. If he claimed 180 I would think that were unusual, because then we're talking about a population of probably a couple of thousand in the country.

: Hayley here: I find it interesting that you assume I am a male. Not so. I also find it interesting that everyone so far has had something to say over my personaltiy type. Is it really so far fetched that I just may be more personable than others? No hard feelings guys I am finding this very intersting to say the least. And thanks for not doubting my intelligence, after all I am from Canada!!

Just like me to post something and then realize I made a spelling mistake!!
