Thinking styles
Some observations - 5w6 thinking can be literal in a sense that they are hyper-alert to perceived inaccuracies in detail. You can be caught out forever explaining this was not quite what you meant. They grab hold of the wrong end of the stick and do not want to let go. If anyone thinks I am pedantic - they should go have a chat with those guys. My ( Read more... ) -
Кому еще пирожков горяченьких?..
А ведь, действительно, забавно. В интернете этот феномен наиболее ярко проявляется - тут можно долго и незаметно наблюдать за людьми, примеряться, прикидывать. Вот этот мне нравится, с этим хорошо было бы подружиться, этого я должна к себе расположить... А начинаешь вплотную общаться - получается не совсем так (или, иногда, даже совсем не так).

Writers and readers
Gave some of my more general subject essays to my mother to read. She is yet another philologist in the family. The verdict - likes the writing, has trouble relating to the "protagonist". Does not quite understand what I am trying to say and why I am saying it. Spent a long time trying to explain one essay - don't think I made any inroads. There is ( Read more... ) -

You scored as True Neutral. A True Neutral person has two faces- either these people are merely apathetic, preferring to focus their minds on more important things, or these people ( Read more... ) -
Tolerance of ambiguity
Something reminded me of my previous post to do with thinking in systems. An interesting point about my particular version of it is that a number of systems co-exist in the mind, in a way that may appear contradictory to an outsider. There is no perfect fit between the various systems, but there does not need to be. On the contrary, a perfect fit ( Read more... ) -
Tired
Tired... Must_go_home_now! It's dark and cold outside. Why is it so hard to make yourself go home when you are tired? Better to sit in front of the computer and continue to waste time. I should have a couch in the office - then I could stay here and would not have to face the rain outside. I wish I didn't live so damned far away... Well, at least ( Read more... ) -
Another perspective
I want to state two things upfront - I do not suffer from clinical depression and I do not expect a “cure” from psychotherapy.
Here are some thoughts on the possible helpfulness of therapy. They are mainly aimed at counteracting the “therapist is just a hired friend for the lonely and socially challenged” school of thought. You know what? That’s ( Read more... ) -
More applied Enneagram
I remember a story that happened at a discussion board I used to hang out on. Something which started before my time there. There were two cp 6w5s who became friends - outside of the board, that is. Emailed each other, that kind of thing. Then one of them said something to piss off the other. The other responded by revealing what the first ( Read more... )
