I always thought that idealism was about my ideal view of the world, my ideal view of humans. About how I kept hoping, dreaming and pursuing the goal of making the world around me a bit better, and to bring a smile upon someone’s face if I could. I thought idealism was about having that image of a Utopia in your head, a world society where you would want your great-great-grandchildren to grow up in. I thought idealism was believing in the good of humans despite all of their flaws, to believe in the kindness and love of people. I’ve lost many arguments because I was, quote those that beat me, ‘idealistic’.
I guess a textbook definition changes everything!
What I mean to say is… definitions can help you. But they don’t dictate your reality… at least not mine. Everything that was invented by humans can be reinvented and altered. Idealism means this and that to me, and it might mean this and that to you. However, I don’t think it’s an absolute term written in the rules of the universe. Then again… maybe that’s a typical INFP point of view, isn’t it?
I tried to take the test but found the first question stumped me. Am I at ease in a crowd… what kind of crowd? A nazi convention? A nudist convention? A music festival? A busy city centre?
When will psychologists realise life can’t be reduced to tick-boxes and people can’t be easily categorised?
Anyway I think lucid dreaming is a skill everyone posseses, as long as they stick to techniques and have the motivation.
Im ENTJ, dont know how i got that. I mean i thing i answered the questions on how i trully felt, but i was pretty stoned. So the questions seemed a little complicated. I consider myself more introverted, but according to this test im not.
So far, everyone’s either an NF or an NT. Doesn’t surprise me in the least.
And considering the fact that there aren’t as many NFs and NTs in the population as the other two main types (SPs and SJs), it would appear that N’s (people who are intuitive/abstract thinkers rather than concrete/linear thinkers) are more inclined to LD … or at least tend to be more interested in it.
If anyone scores as an SP or SJ, I’d be interested to know how they got interested in LDs.
Again, I’m not making absolute, scientific statements here … but the observations so far jibe with my predictions.

Just like I did taking a different version of the same test… must be true Some of the questions were a bit hard. I applied to them in SOME situations, but in others I didn’t…
I took the test over and i got ENTJ again, so i decided to read all the crap on it. I gotta say this defined me pretty well, i agreed to most of it. Thats pretty cool how like a stupid test could get somewhere close to making general ideas on what personality type you may be.
