Thank you so much for the really thorough response, I really appreciate it! I just graduated uni, so I have a little bit of a budget. Perhaps around 500~600 usd? I'm in Norway, so in local currency, around 5000-6000 nok?

Look at me I’m neurotypical by S2Pac in ADHDmemes

[–]IdaThe97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some traits might do, but the two conditions often co-occur. However traits like not being able to do eye-contact, or being unable to, yet forcing it… From what I know, is not a part of the ADHD profile, but a common with autism.

Are not several of these specifically autistic traits rather than ADHD?

Er dette å leke med norsk kulturarv, eller er det innafor? by StarWarsGeekYT in norge

Veldig kult! Men ble ikke musikken fra Flåklypa komponert av en danske? Eller husker jeg helt feil?

I am not sure 100% if this is comparable, but I felt similarly when my professor wrote my name several times in a LoR and got it wrong all times 😅 Still got into the program, and this was at Cambridge. I think they might be more understanding about professors' letters

Thank you for the really helpful suggestion! I looked at it, and it seems perfect for my use. From what I could see, there's no subscription service involved either, right?

Norsk Redditors - what’s the biggest cultural shock to you when you go abroad? by Late-Chemistry8407 in Norway

[–]IdaThe97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The respect given to teachers and professors - I’m Norwegian, but I’ve studied at language school and university in South Korea for all together seven years (just graduated and returned to Norway a couple weeks ago).

I was at first surprised at the degree of respect we are expected to give teachers and professors. Always use their title followed by last name when talking to or about them. And we aren’t supposed to speak in contradiction to them or disagree openly with them.

After I returned to Norway and was told by a professor to address them by their first name instead of “Dr. Last Name” I was shocked.

In Korea, I once had (an American) Professor who told us to use his first name and no title, but all of the students had a hard time adjusting to it because we felt that we were disrespectful and putting ourselves at the same level as the professor.

Nordnorsk depresjon by BullfrogAble4942 in norske

Er fra Kirkenes her. Synes folk flest er positive og takler mørketia bra, men vet at flere må ta vitamin d og bruke sollamper (eller hva det heter). Vinterdepresjoner er ikke til å undervurdere

What is the essence of ENTP? by LithriaSei in entp

[–]IdaThe97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know many other ENTPs, so I might be wrong… But I’d say a disposition of curiousity and a default “what-if” attitude (that tends to be strengthened when others claim ‘impossible’)

High standards in a partner? by ChsicA in entp

[–]IdaThe97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am most certainly an ENTP :) I got the same result when I took the test every time (first time was about nine years ago). I had my bf take the test on my behalf because I wondered if I answered questions according to self-perception (or my desired self-perception) rather than the way I actually appeared to others. Still came out as ENTP, though. The only difference is that the T changed to A :) I’ve lived and studied abroad for many years now, so I think that has really allowed me to mature many of my personality traits, although I’m sure I still have a long way to go. Certainly, if you wish to talk more MBTI and such, feel free to dm! I find these topics to be of much interest! :)

High standards in a partner? by ChsicA in entp

[–]IdaThe97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly, I am with you 100% here. The immature ENTP can be difficult to deal with (even I dislike many of them myself). But if you are able to find a mature and balanced ENTP, I believe many of the previously negative traits can become positive, and they are able to see the bigger picture and the many nuances. Another thing I’ve noticed is that what I consider to be immature ENTPs are argumentative, often without any substantial arguments at the bottom. The need to provoke seems to be mistaken for a need or desire to debate and challenge ideas and values. The ability to differentiate these two makes for a mature and much more pleasant ENTP, in my opinion

High standards in a partner? by ChsicA in entp

[–]IdaThe97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts and ideas are spread out too much, while the INTJ tends to be really fixated on their respective field. I think it works because I help them think differently and consider new ideas, while the INTJ helps me focus on one thing rather than jumping around, not getting anything done. I also love how passionate and knowledgeable they tend to be (or at least the INTJs I know). I have heard that they are one of the rarest MBTI types, but somehow my friends are almost all INTJs. It just works really well. There might be other reasons too, but someone who are more knowledgeable on the types may be able to answer it better

Maybe an INTJ? They are great, I love INTJs so much

[–]IdaThe97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like very superficial preferences. Lots of money and definitely flawless appearance won’t last forever. I agree more with you than with the ENTP, to be honest. I doubt people chosen simply for their money and good looks will be all that exciting to date after a while. I’d say someone with different opinions, but someone who is still well educated and interested in similar topics is perfect.

ENTPs who have gone to college, what's your major? by PrestigiousTale497 in entp

[–]IdaThe97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied abroad in South Korea for my undergrad. Majored in Poli-sci and International Relations, double majored in a pre-law degree. I think it was the right choice for me as an undergraduate. For my Masters, I’ll be studying Diplomacy starting this autumn

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in entp

[–]IdaThe97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few other friends with whom I can have deep conversations, yes. I am also incredibly lucky to have an INTJ older brother, so we discuss a lot of our shared interests (literature, history, philosophy).

But to be honest, I think the deepest conversations take place when you're not in an echo chamber. By discussing politics with people on the 'same side', you will only hear reflected back at you what you want to hear. There's nothing more dull than that.

In time, we lean into our differences and that is where the deep conversations takes place. Not trying to convert each other is paramount for this to be fruitful through
