CloseI'd like to ask you guys about yourselves. As posters on an internet forum, it's pretty tricky to discern separate personalities from the sea of different avatars, posting styles, a few different opinions on certain topics, and the like. There's quite a few of you I know quite well from your GW personality alone, but what kind of person are you in real life? If you had to describe yourself as a person, your personality with its shortcomings and strengths, what would you say? What kind of person are you off the net? I realize there's a lot of ways this topic can go so I'll start with myself as a template so you guys can do yours. I know you're talking about yourself, so it's obviously going to be biased but try to be as objective as possible.
If I had to describe myself in a sentence, I'd say I'm a fairly charismatic, sociable fellow, with my biggest flaw being that sometimes I can talk too much, and that I'm incredibly persistent. I'm pretty good at dealing with people, and I'm at home in social situations. I've been told that people are naturally drawn to me, and I can kinda see it in small, funny ways (like when I'm walking around, and I walk past a group of people that say Hi and I've never seen them in my life). It's rather funny because as a kid, I was REALLY shy and introverted, and I lacked confidence. Which brings me to one of my faults, I know for a fact that I'm overconfident. People say I get it from my father, but I tend to think I can do ANYTHING, and it turns into a reckless sense of invincibility. Sometimes my efforts polarize into not trying hard enough to trying entirely too hard. Also, while I can have a way with words (I have bullshitted my way out of many situations), but I can be pretty tactless as well, since I have a tendency to be really blunt and honest. My temper can be pretty thin as well.
As far as interests and talents go, I love to write. Writing is my passion, and I've been doing it ever since I was a kid. I can write about anything, and it's what primarily got me into RPG Maker ages ago. The same logic applies to reading as well. I've always been a history buff as well, and I've always been interested in ancient history and mythos, particularly Greek and Roman facets of history. I'm somewhat as a health nut as well, and I'm always making sure I'm eating right and whatnot. Sugary foods make me sick, though. While I consider myself athletic, it's a shame I never really got into any particular sports, and I'm kinda uncoordinated in the effect that I can't dance worth shit.
I'm currently a third year college student as a Biology major, in a Pre-Med concentration. Honestly, I never really liked school or academia, but I've always been considered (and more importantly, considered myself) intelligent, so I'll suck it up. I want to be a doctor, and be in the medical profession more than anything, so that's what drives me. Currently, my grades suck balls right now, due to general apathy/laziness. I hope to fix that, because it seems my dislike of school and how mundane it is never went away.
That's the gist of it. Your description doesn't have to be nearly as long winded as mine (or it can be longer), but consider this an opportunity to tell us about yourself.

H-h-holy cow. Your second paragraph is basically me exactly. No joke, I don't even have to write anything here about my "in RL" personality.
Hobbies: looking at guys, drawing guys, cleaning, working with kids (okay that is a JOB and not a HOBBY but I enjoy it).
MODIFY: http://typelogic.com/intj.html <---This is me (and MOG, apparently)

MODIFY2:
What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

INFP here, which means: Stubborn idealist. Basically. But last I checked, this wasn't a Jung typology poll, so let's describe ourselves, and not describe some other scientist describing how we probably answered some questions to describe ourselves.
(and yes, the word describe has just lost all meaning to me, temporarily)
Online, I tend to be cold and blunt, and talk a lot, pretty consistently, with thought -out responses. I also don't have much difficulty talking to people, or being open about myself.
IRL, it's the exact opposite. If I do talk, it's unplanned, jumbled, etc.
I also happen to talk a lot, but mostly about nothing. I just say stuff. It's ussually just fact, or a response, but somehow I've come to be known as the most extroverted person some people know. I ussually don't talk about others (like, gossip), because I feel uncomfortable doing so, in case they wouldn't like what I was saying. I can't ussually talk about anything like games or tv or music or hobbies, because no one I know IRL shares the same interests. I don't talk about myself on purpose, as I tend to do that a lot anyway, and I try not to appear completely arrogant, and I will never just offer my opinion in a conversation unless directly asked (and sometimes not even then) (pretty much the complete opposite of being on a forum). It's also incredibly hard for me to talk about any emotional anything in person. Like this. I'm very tempted to delete this post right now.
And in spite of all that somehow, so call me the most extroverted person they know. I call them crazy. I'm the most introverted person I know.
The above three sentences could possibly be explained by the fact that I meet just about the entire description for Hypomania (a form of bipolarity, look it up or something), though I haven't been officially diagnosed. If I see a psychologist ever, they'd find quite a few things wrong with me.
My weaknesses are pretty apparent by this point in the post. I really have no clue what my strengths are- I'm neither exceptionally athletic or academic, and I'm certainly hardly successful socially. So no clue.
Blah, anyway, moving on. Interests, talents, hobbies. I'm not talented or interested in my hobbies, or hobby rather, what I'm talented in bores me to death, and I don't do much of anything I'm interested in, nor am I talented at it. So three completely separate things here-
Interests include fortune telling, magick, dreams, fire-spinning, wood-carving, gardening and writing. My talents include acting, drumming and running. My hobby includes RPG Maker.
I'm going into junior year in high school, dropping out of the international baccalaureate program, which I never wanted to be in in the first place. My GPA is about 1.9 and most of my teachers last year hate me. Obviously, I have a very strong dislike for school. I currently have no plans for the future.

- According to Mr. Jung, I am a INFJ, better known as "Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging." I read the article, and I think its generally accurate.
- Education and Future Goals:
- Personality:
I am a pretty boring person online, mainly because I believe my actions speak more than words. On the internet ... you generally can't "do" much. Communication is primarily done through, well, words. - - I act the same on and offline, but I suppose meeting me in real life allows people to know who I am in more than one dimension, I guess. I don't really have a "strong" personality. People think I am a little weird, I think so too. For four years, I frequented a very large forum and told everyone I was a Korean man, then I later became more active in #G&D where I took on the identity that I was a Middle Eastern Iranian-Israeli man named Cassim Hassan who was torn between Judaism and Islam (and ultimately became an atheist). People still think I am a male because I make a lot of perverted comments that are a bit disturbing from time to time. :-* - Background:
I dislike my ethnicity/culture, despite of the fact that I speak the languages fluently and practice/exercise a lot of the traditional values. When anyone asks me what I am, I tell them I am an Arab. - Hobbies:
My hobbies are generally "adventurous" ones such as hiking and traveling. If my family was not so strict on me, I am sure I would adore spelunking. The more mundane ones that I do day-to-day is collecting magazine clippings of anything artistic, memorable (current-event wise) or scenes of faraway places. I also have fun cleaning things as a way for me to get rid of stress and think about other things that would be more important to me, had it not been for expectations and responsibilities put onto me by others.
I spent the last four years of my life toiling away by taking college classes and high school classes simultaneously. A week ago, I just graduated college with three associates degrees, and two days after, I graduated out of high school. Now I will be attending a four year institution earning a degree in Anthropology and Arabic while completely my pre-medical requirements, most of which I am finished during the past four years. I intend on becoming a doctor with a focus in Neuroscience or Psychiatry.
Good Lord.

Let's see, where to begin. I'm an old bastard of 26 years of age, i am a restaurant manager soon to be Head Manager in a couple of months which will increase my workload dramatically. My main interest in cooking came when i was in year 7 and i had to cook for about twenty of my family members. I went on to tafe for a few years to study in the hospitality area and then my friend set me up with a good job in a restaurant. I of course started out cleaning pots and pans and peeling potatoes for hours and hours and after a few years of very very very hard work i made it up to head chef. In about September last year i was appointed to restaurant manager and i am happy now with my life.
Besides work i love to go on forum sites in which i consider myself a pretty active member, i like to play games especially the final fantasy series and i like to play tennis on a saturday morning. I also like to make and play rpg games but have really only gotten into it since about 2005.
That's basically my life summed up in a few paragraphs.

That's basically my life summed up in a few paragraphs.
I'm 20, 150 lbs, green eyes, brown hair, muscular build.
I'm very agressive in person, and I would admit that I can be very quick and a lot to take in sometimes. I have very strong opinions, mostly in religion and politics, and I can be very forceful when I feel someone is being oppressive.
I'm not in college, because of some financial trouble, but I was aiming for an art degree, so I'm not so upset about it. I work full time in a print shop, where I operate a folder. Yep, I'm blue collar.
I play in a punk band on the weekends, I play bass and vocals, and we've gotten somewhat well known around the area.
Anyway, that's me.

I'm a recently 18 year old male from England with a terribly British accent. (well its not an accent to me obvisiouly) Currently Living in a smallish town that I was born in, I'm techinicly an atheist, but that doesn't mean I don't except others opinions. I'm around 5'11, light brown hair, blue eyes, medium/ a lil skinny build with the average joe look. As far as i'm aware i'm straight xD.
I'm very laid back on the outside, I go along for the ride and normally let life take me places rather than the other way round. I hate it when people don't like me for my own stupid actions and go to long lengths to make it up. I have a tight knit group of bascially 7 friends (which is why there is 7 characters is COV) and they all say i'm a great funny friend, but I never really make an impression with other people or the ladies due to low self confidence, surprisingly I even have low confidence on the internet which is why i'm sure most of you have already skipped me to read someone else. Apart from my friends no one really gives me a chance and I crave it more than anything else, luckily my friends taught me that I am what I am and if thats not enough for someone then thats their problem, I can't spend my life wishing to be someone else. I currently work in a pet shop and I want to be a vet. My only hobby is a guitar, my friend is teaching me for free! ;D
Also, my name is Greg btw. If you get tired of putting Little Wing Guy y'know what to call me (sharing my real name doesn't bother me xD)
RANDOM THINGS:
Invention a couldn't live without: Microwave!
First Album: Hot Fuss - The Killers
Weirdest feature: My Toes.
Best Feature: My Hair.
Favourite birthday present: A Bike when I was 7.
Double Jointed? No
In a Zombie attack would you be a: Leader? Follower? Zombie? Quiet religious guy that ends up going crazy? Follower

I'm your standard English teacher in Japan. High school and kindergarten. I like shit in nature and debating. I want to go for my Masters next year, and I'm not sure if I want to get it in Canada, the EU or Australia yet. I'm also one of them ultra-left wing people who doesn't eat meat and inquires about people being sleazy. Punk is the music of choice. Drinking is a big pass time. I'm not shy about my shyness and don't run from awkward situations. I'm confrontational in an innocent non-aggressive way.
Can't think of any other shit to say, and I'm sure another person describing me would use the terms "fuckhead" or "maroon" a lot more.

I am going into my third year of pre-business and pre-law. I will probably be in school another 4-5 years getting the education I want, and then I'll go find some high-paying work, slowly pay off student loans, and buy a decent apartment in a small city or a large burg.
I prefer to play video games in long single stretches, then abandon them for weeks until I feel like playing a new game. I don't have as much time as I'd like to play video games over a year because I'm usually very busy.
I attend college in the state of Iowa. It's not a very exciting place, but you do get to see plenty of politicians every four years. I am also a member of a fraternity, although I consider myself unlike the stereotypical frat dude.
I used to be involved in a couple other gamemaking webpages before RMN. Since entering college, my visits are a lot more sporadic because I'm a lot more busy, but I still visit when I can. I used to write storywriting articles and wrote a couple stories for unfinished team projects. If I could find one of my old storylines, I'd still like to spend a couple months creating a short RPG on the old, antiquated RM2K, hehe.

I am 23 years old and live in the midwestern United States. I don't really fit in here because I have a pretty cosmopolitan personality and I am pretty interested in fashion (and being fashionable). I get accused of being a fag all the time and on one occasion, after being threatened by a gang of farmboys, had to run for my life out of a bar and three blocks down the street.
I have been in college for six years. I am way behind on a bachelor's degree in Music and Journalism. I will probably graduate this year.
In person I am very charming - I am attractive, speak well, and am very good at conversation. I have a lot of friends and I make new ones easily. I do not have trouble finding dates.
I play tons of video games like the rest of you and also, like the rest of you, prefer Japanese games and jRPGs.
I am a very musical person. I practice keyboard frequently and seriously and write a lot of music. My musical tastes are very educated and pretty esoteric (snob).
I am a pretty miserable and cynical person. I don't carry this persona around in real life but on the internet I tend to let it out and be kind of a jerk. I think most internet people are like this however!

As someone who feels the same way about himself, I really commend you saying that, because on the internet a lot of people take a statement like that as being a dick or something.
