Stress and the INTJ

So here I am drinking tea and thinking about my INTJ’ness.

I am drinking tea because it seems to me to be a kind of cure-all. The real cure-all for an INTJ however is not tea, it is getting things done. And the source of angst for an INTJ is, not surprisingly, the inverse.

After a rather extended period of ‘angsty inverseness’, I put the kettle on, washed all the dirty cups in the short time it took for the water to boil, found the list I made early this week and crossed off the things I’d done. I then made a cup of tea. 15 things on the list, four left. Not bad considering this list does not have a particular end date. Things feel better.

I can verify that the following statements match whatever strain of the INTJ I happen to have in relation to stress and stressful things.

“A large number of INTJ folks reported that they often felt a strong desire to clean when under stress”

“If they do not take a project to completion, they may set themselves up for frustration and depression resulting from too much self-criticism.”

“They become frustrated if they are too tightly controlled.”

There is also an excellent description of INTJ’s on Urban Semiotic

Personality Page gives a good general overview of INTJ’s they also, naturally, give overviews of the other types.

And because only 2% or so of the population happen to be INTJ’s the you can take the test (Jung/Myers-Briggs) along with a stack of other interesting personality tests over here at Similar Minds. But only after you’ve made yourself a cup of tea.

The wormhole of the end of semester

tea-time_2sml_It is the end of semester. People are panicking around me and for once I have my homework under control. I have however just had the mandatory horrible day that comes near the end of each semester.

Defining this day would be the glorious mistake (which I’ve made before) to drive into the city instead of catching public transport. The driving is okay, it’s just the lack of parking and the lying GPS that got to me. I never found the place… I found Kinkos near uni instead and they turned out cheaper.

So then there’s the $103 on printing. And apparently I got a good price.

Plus the freaking huge small mistake of gluing the wrong edge of my book when I was binding. With $103 of printing, you don’t want to make that mistake. Mercifully it was fixable, not entirely 100% happiness but lets go with 80% happiness (inclusive of stress).

This binding video is good.

Now the book is bound, my group proposal is bound and the presentation is early tomorrow. My animation is complete if not a little corny, and my Visual Language posters are done – all I have to do it bulk out the VL research journal and it’s happy land and handing it all in for me.

Lets see, it’s taken me approximately 2 hours to wind down from being on edge for 4 hours + an extra 1 hour. That’s not too bad at all…

Friday I love you so much, you should come sooner.

image source, please check it out, it’s good.
