And you asked whether I think I've changed... No, and I haven't not noticed some of these tendencies -- I just thought they were not okay and not the way to succeed. I'll give that one to my mother, because she used always to criticize my lack of follow-through. :-) Despite that lack, though, I did do well at various things along the way...which was great until I was questioned why I didn't keep doing those things to do even better. So why not? Got bored, was concerned I wouldn't get any better, and basically had done enough to get me where I needed to get. Anyway, the point of my PS is not to describe my childhood angst, but rather to try and articulate why I was doing what was doing what I did. Getting a little older, I feel as though I can finally start trying to figure out what I really wanted/want and to get a better sense of myself. Perhaps I'll find myself back where I thought I was and just seeing the development you described, but I am certainly open to finding out that things might be different.
Oh, and I have troubles defining my Myers-Brigg type, too. I used to test to an ENTJ, but again, that's changed and I really find myself at ENTP.... The N and S are fairly close, but I always spill over to the N side.
