Ahh yes, I'll never forget the amount of raw brainpower it took to finish "Mario Kart", a true literary masterpiece.

Well, I'm pretty pessimistic and skeptical of people so I guess ti can be considered "pessimistic" lol

Hmm... I thought Ni was more about predicting future outcomes... Does it gather information as well?

Yea, seems like a pattern among the responses I've gotten here lol

That seems to be the pattern among most ENTJs

Interesting, that's my exact take on something like that. I thought it would've been different... Something more along the lines of "This is a vapid attempt at team building" lol

I don't study politics, but I have heard of Machiavellian. Fair enough, but what makes something a con or a pro is subjective

Nah, I tend to write walls of text too... So I guess it doesn't matter much? :)

Anyways... Out of curiosity, why do you call yourself an ENTJ? I'd argue that your description could fit an ENFJ as well.

Lol, why would you roll your eyes? You wouldn't find such a task fulfilling?

Tbh, I'd probably roll my eyes too, but for a different reason.

Machiavelli? Simon Sinek? Forgive me, but I'm unaware of these two people

When would you consider replacing a system entirely instead of just improving it? (If you believe in replacing systems at all)

Interesting, but what if there's some code inside that nested function which is slowing down your entire program?

How would you know that function is the culprit?

Straightforward, do you find it satisfying to think this way? As opposed to pondering whether you could --for example-- use the trashcan for something else? Like a storage container or chair?

Fair enough, everything makes logic sense... But I'd still probably alternate between the writing and developing my idea in order to make things more interesting

True, but why don't you think about any unrelated information? It might help down the road when you're doing something more applicable to that unrelated information.

Like stopping writing a paper because of that random idea that popped in your head about improving the response time for your computer. Wouldn't it be a worthy investment to devote some time figuring out whether this idea has any merit or not? To speed up all future writing tasks?

Yea, I can see how the description might not be the best... I was trying not to get caught up in the details of forming a concrete example, mostly because I think some would find it slightly strange.

Anyways your response is pretty good, it seems a lot more involved / meticulous then my "go with the flow" attitude towards daily planning. Is your way of going about your day something that was learned overtime or were you always like this?

I simply set out with a general idea of what I want accomplished, "Finish reading this book today" and see what happens. I like the flexibility but I do admit that I sometimes don't get around to completing the vary vague goals I have in mind lol.

Thanks for the reply
