High School / College clubs and activities vs type

Ok, so this is just comparing what activities types gravitate towards.

As for myself, I am an ENTP, and during high school I was involved in:

Writer's Club
Debate (LD)
Speech (PO + PR)
Spanish Honor Society
HOLA (spanish dancing)
FCA (fellowship of christian athletes)
FFA (future farmers of america)


In college:

Speech (POI + PR)
Anime Club
Fencing
Kendo

So.... comparing myself to my type, my activities rolled with: Extraversion (speaking activities), Percieving (learning about diff cultures and gaining perspective), Intuition - eh, that's kind of hard to pin down w/clubs, Thinking - applying thought to body and speech

Let me hear what you think! GO.

...I find it difficult to motivate myself to get involved in things. Except theater. I have been absolutely devoting my life and all my time to theater; I want high school theater to run on a professional level, and become exasperated by people who can't seem to pick up the simple tenants of acting with weeks of practice. Which has resulted in my becoming a sort of onstage director who is probably quite annoying. But right. All the "type profiles" seem to suggest that Science Club would be a better place for an INTJ than the drama department, but I know another INTx who is also one of the top performers there, so I think the standard "type profiles" might be just a little bit BS-ed as far as the interests of INTx's go. :crazy:

Theater is the only one of my passions that hasn't "fizzled out" somewhat after a year or so; it seems to give back what I put into it, and it's the only form of art I'm good at.

By contrast, I found myself involved in community service only because it was necessary to make me look good on applications to top schools. ;;^.^ I do enjoy tutoring, though.

Huh, I belonged to a similar club... for the very brief time I was actually in high school :laughing:
Over-achievers...
I joined several clubs, but I never actually showed up to more than one or two meetings. I ended up going to German Club with my sister for convenience, though.
Never really bothered joining any clubs. Always enjoyed drama classes though.
In High School I played a few sports and did a bit of theatre and in college am in Film Club, a few political/social action clubs, and have been to a few basic formals and been miserable. In the High School yearbook I was voted "Most likely to win a non-violent debate", "Most likely to become Chairman of the Fed" and "Funniest Student". There you go.

High School
Model United Nations
Student Council
Track
In high-school, I wrestled. In college, I worked on the school paper. I wanted to join the philosophy club, but never did.
I'm in high school. Clubs? uhh... I hang out in the library a lot and frequently see the same people. Does that count?

If there was a psychology, sociology, or philosophy club, I'd join it. I considered joining the GSA, but there are too many people I dislike in that one.

I sometimes go to German club meetings even though I don't speak German.

In high school I over-extended myself to extremes, so I'm not even going to bother with the endless list I'd have to make to say everything I was doing.

College I've learned to balance. I joined our club Ultimate Frisbee team, am involved with our National Honors co-ed fraternity, and that's about all I can handle with school and two jobs. I would be interested in a art/graphic design club if I had the time, as well as possibly others, but I don't think I see myself with the Dungeons and Dragons club anytime soon, or anything like that. There is a gamer's guild, which is completely different, though.

I'm still in high school. I'm in debate, science olympiad, principal's advisory committee and film fest committee. I was considering joining newspaper and the gay-straight-alliance but I was already too committed to other stuff I cared more about.
