Ebeneezer "Benny" Barns

Born to a family of traveling a Cappella street performers, he learned to sing and dance at a very young age. However, around the time he was nine years old, while they were unusually hungry and low on funds, he had developed a comedically severe illness that permanently disabled his larynx, leaving him mute-for-life and in a coma. Thinking him dead, his family abandoned him. When he awoke, he found work as the lab assistant for a forger of name-brand prosthetic organs. He worked for several years without pay in exchange for a prosthetic larnyx capable of imitating the voices of thousands of different people. He had attempted to make it as a pop star but, finding few willing to take a chance on him because he "wasn't very special", has taken to the mercenary lifestyle in order to fund his eventual first tour and record production.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I think I'm little more than a punchline on multiple levels

We doin' this?

Meyers Briggs

Myers Briggs didn't change my life. It didn't fundamentally alter how I perceive myself. But it did fundamentally change how I perceive my perception of myself because I scored INTJ. The first time I did it, I was fourteen. People change over time and most of my friends have gotten different scores at different times. I've taken it half a dozen times over the years, in one form or another but I've literally always scored the same INTJ rating.

It's theoretically one of the rarest types. That said, when I was seventeen, two of my best friends, who were to a certain extent highly compartmentalized and introspective, also claimed that it was their score. And one of my present day most online friends shares the same score. So if it's theoretically so rare, I don't understand why every time I've seemed to throw a rock, it seems to land on someone else who has the second/third (can't remember) rarest MBTI typing.

I would chalk it up to the fact that we're naturally drawn to people like ourselves but the friends I mentioned earlier, with the same typing, are about as different from my operational philosophies and personal value structure as two friends can reasonably be.

Anybody else have any similar experiences or any theories?

Also: For the record, I don't--for a single second--believe that human behavior can be chopped up categorically because the context in which an individual is offered a choice is often just as significant as the choice itself. For example, when asked a simple question about my preferences, I usually respond with more questions and the comprehensive answers that I would offer cannot be reflected "Yes," "No", or "Maybe".
