No worries. Hope you enjoyed it and/or found it elucidating in some way.
We differ quite significantly in agreeableness, though I suppose that isn't surprising.

Is it? I find it odd . . . you have always been agreeable to me, and frankly never one to challenge my views in a way that was aggressive.
Quote: Agreeableness 20th percentile vs 95th percentile Conscientiousness 52nd percentile vs 66th percentile Extraversion 1st percentile vs 6th percentile Neuroticism 78th percentile vs 47th percentile Openness to Experience 83rd percentile vs 61th percentile
somehow, I thought we were more closely aligned. It is far from an issue, but still surprising.

I should add that my Agreeablness is sub-factored as follows:
Compassion 7th percentile
Politeness 52nd percentile
So I'm kind of unfeeling but don't present myself that way for obvious reasons.
How i actually think & feel VS how I behave in different social groups/situations can be quite different. I somehow didn't grok that core socialization window between 2-4 years old, so my social skills are all conscious (as opposed to automatic) mimicry of accumulated observations. This has made me an effective reader of other people, for what it's worth.
The internet is a respite from in-person communication, since there isn't the real-time pressure or as many of the input channels (words, word choice, word timing, tone, subtext, facial expressions, micro expressions, body language, etc...) of an in-person conversation, so that enables me at least attempt to be less awkward.
We're still fairly aligned aside from agreeableness & neuroticism. From my understanding, provided parties in any relationship are not both high in neuroticism, it not exceedingly difficult to get along. Of course other factors and things beyond personality can cause difficulty & clashes.

Yoder Compassion 7th percentile vs 85th Politeness 52nd percentile vs 97th
Quite a bit of difference there, sir. However, you are right. The perceived anonymity and veil of disconnect that the internet provides makes social interaction far easier. Perhaps that is why so many prefer texts and internet communication to real-world anymore. The latter will never completely die out, but it is far easier and more comfortable to read words than to deal with an asshat in person.

In some cases I prefer in-person, but that's only when textual communication becomes too curt and indiscernible.
Sick right after the holidays... At least it's been a quiet work week.

I habe always enjoyed personality tests... seeing different measurements of my being. I find it fun, and this one was comprehensive.

I liked MBTI the best during my teen years and disliked Big 5 based on my poor understanding of it; specifically, I was exposed to it years ago as if certain ends of each measurement were the only way to get ahead in the business world. Once I heard a balanced & detailed explanation of Big 5 and how well-supported it is by research, I eventually came around.
MBTI's roots in the 4 Humors is too apparent now to ignore, along with it not having much research supporting it.

I believe I heard somewhere that the MBTI was based on some rather arbitrary ideas . . . but it is still rather popular and interesting. I like the ideas behind it.

Still, lacking sufficient support, doesn't mean MBTI couldn't have stumbled upon a lot of truth. Agreed, I also like its categorization, and it is ultimately derived from Jung's ideas (though perhaps they just co-opted his terminology).

Please be careful, good sir. Fasting is not particularly healthy, even if intermittent. Yes, you will lose weight, but that puts stress on your body that may not be good. I care too much about you to stay quiet.

As far as I know, the only type of fasting that's healthy is day-scale fasting (i.e.: fasting portions of days but still eating each day at some point). Good luck with it for whatever reason your are pursuing it.
