Now, this is really getting interesting. I want to address all comments. As to the pics, I wonder, really, if J5 is collecting these things with ulterior motive(s) - i.e., just to see if anyone is really gullible enough to send him a photo, or perhaps he is looking to date. On the other hand, hearing about oneself is endlessly fascinating, therefore it might be fun to send him a pic anyway, just to get the comments. I'm betting he'd type me as a 2 or 3. What do you say, Johnny? Are you a betting man? Still want my photo?

BTW, what are Sheldon measurements? Why the 6 fixation?

> You are new here, Pseudo. Johnny claims he can make what he calls Sheldon measurements on your photograph and depending on obscure ratios he can determine what type you are. Ummm... you might want to take what he has to say with a grain of salt, but if you can live with the fact that Johnny will type you as a 6, then feel free to send him your photo.

When the personality is in flux, under stress, etc., answers to e-gram questions might be masked by dysfunction. Conversely, perhaps the dysfunction exaggerates traits. This is what I am trying to determine for myself. If I knew, obviously I wouldn't be here. Conversely, a nice old cliche is, when you ask for advice, you usually know the answer. However the discussion is still interesting.

> > Amusing that you think you can type me (provided that you're actually serious and not being facetious) by a photo or two, taken under whatever situation. How do you know whether or not I am 'acting out' in my physical persona as well? Also, people dress/act/are molded according to profession. Therefore, a professional white collar person is more likely to show up in pics soberly dressed, short hair, etc., etc. A tattoo artist, now, would probably reflect his/her profession as well.
