BYC Member Interview - U_Stormcrow

[U_Stormcrow]

There were double doors on the building of my last employer so I could bring my ego in with me.

This, btw, was something my boss' boss said to me, intended as a compliment. and later used as an ice breaker to introduce me to others of the senior team.

Well, I enjoy all the systematic approaches you routinely drop in here. I particularly like the way you take all that time to document why you think a given thing and often provide scholarly sources for the things you say. It's been really nice reading your work, and I enjoy the culling project a lot. Even if it's not as fast as a modern breeding project might be, it's a lot more accurate to historical development of landraces, and you're still preserving a lot more neutral genetic variation in the population than you would with a more tightly-bred project--which can be quite useful if conditions unexpectedly change under you.

Very nice interview. It's wonderful to get to know you better.

You've led an even more varied and interesting life than I suspected.

I've known you were an INTJ since the first post of yours I happened to read @U_Stormcrow ... this just confirms it.
Patterns + Systems + Empirical Data + Lesser prioritization of feelings (not necessarily a negative).

Feel free to disagree about typology anytime, although there is finally some evidence in the form of Dr. Dario Nardi's EEG studies that show an 80% similarity in brain waves among individuals of the same type (only 20% similarity with random strangers).

That's a polite way of saying I've been fired a lot! ;p

I'm only vaguely familiar with Briggs Meyers but the fit is pretty good, as I understand it.

Cool beans. I find it useful for us oddballs, though I'm a different type of weird than you it's interesting to know.
MBTI is the simplified user-friendly form that ventures too far into stereotypes (what people do / choose). The Jungian functions themselves are more useful for those of us that use Ni and can more easily map it out (how people process).
If I could be any other type it would be an INTJ because you guys can translate your weirdness into real-world applicable, useful pursuits.

Great interview! I always appreciate your views even if reading your posts makes me go a little cross eyed sometimes!

Honestly, I prefer "high functioning screw up", but if you want to be polite about it, yes. I did eventually find ways to put my less valued character traits to productive use - as long as I can limit my social exposure to brief interactions, i get by.
