36/40 here. I made it past 30 though. Seems us lifers live longer than the people around us for some reason. If you stay that high on the scale I wouldn't expect to keel over anytime to soon

I would expect the lifers that make it past 30 to have a pretty good chance of survival. After all, staying active is good for your body.

33/40. Some of the questions seem a bit dated.

I do not need a test to know I am a thrill seeker. In the reality though I find it interesting that with Ne and Se in tow one can really be a thrill seeker but understand the rules of reality. I am in my mid thirties and I plan on living a whole lot longer. Like Sir Richard Branson I plan on living a long, long life of thrill and forward moving conquests.

Odd, it seems to favor aggression and "fire", not actual exploratory and experimental behavior.
Also, water related?! Do not want.

All I have to say is... fuck water, and fuck heights.

Well it's not the fall that kills you, but the ground.
You just have to worry about that part, everything else is awesome.
I'd say... jello trampoline.

How is that being a thrill-seeker?!? There have always gay accountants dammit, even in 1971. Not exciting.

Give up that I, come join us, you know you want to!

ETA: Being socially withdrawn, or anxious doesn't equate to introversion. Check out Jung cognitive functions, see how you access Ne v Ti.
