Personality Type?


I was musing lately after my last perusal of the forum postings....Got me wondering about personality types on here and if there is a common thread. I, myself, am an INTP and I seem to see some parallels with the members of this forum. I am an Engineer and a musician that plays drums. As an Engineer I was quite aware that although collaboration could be fruitful, I was aware that pursuing an idea alone was fruitful as well. I also think that because of my personality, I am fine with being more in the background playing the drums. So then, I am just a bit curious if the members of this forum are more alike than different than the general population?

I don’t remember INTP… but looking it up__ sounds like me… fascinated with astronomy since five years old, a bachelor’s of science degree, practicing scientist for ten years, before deciding to turn around 180 degrees from reductionism to basics (as opposed to complexity… looking at a Monet is not explained by reducing it to the colors… it is the gestalt).

So, getting my Masters I wanted to look into complexity… later, Chaos theory. I love horribly complex ambiguous problems. My specialty professionally… and I have loved about pursuing high end audio. Really rewarding for someone like me.

Exactly, that's the sort of qualities I am curious about. I like to dabble in quantum mechanics and am in awe of the seeming chaos around us. Seems that the pursuit of a unifying theory is humankind's quest for making sense of the universe? Then again....
