Hello, forum-goers! I'm new here. I'm not good at introducing myself so I decided to use this handy form instead. Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. 
Name - What do you preferred to be called?
Brianna
- Any nicknames?
Bri
Male/Female/Trans?
Female
Location - Where were you originally born? Where do you live today? Any interesting story behind that?
I was born and raised in Southern California, which is where I currently live. I've bounced around a few times in Northern CA for college. Not anything particularly interesting to tell there. Like many of us, I ran out of money living on my own and moved back in with my parents.
- If you could get up and go anywhere in the world at the present moment, where would you go and why?
Right now? I'd probably go back to Ireland. I've been there once before and it was great fun. I love the people, the landscape, and the history. Now that I'm old enough to go to the pubs, I'd undoubtedly have an even better time than before.
Age - How old are you? Do you think you act your age? If not, explain which age you think you resemble most. Do it for the laughs.
I'm 22. Compared with other 22 year old people I'd say I'm somewhat more mature than most. However, I do of course enjoy a healthy dose of irresponsibility for someone my age. The people I tend to get along with are all in their mid-to-late 20's, so I guess that would be the age I'd resemble most.
Personal(ity) ~
* What is your Myers-Briggs personality type and for how long have you been reading on personality theory?
INTP, and for at least 7 years.
* What type do you usually test as?
INTP
* What are your favorite and least favorite personality types to be around?
I like people who share similar traits with me, especially people who have an adventurous spark, which I lack. I avoid the overtly extroverted, needy, and oversensitive types.
If you've taken any other personality tests, included but not limited to tests like the Enneargram and Big 5 (SLOAN), what were your results?
I have taken all of those tests, but I've long since forgotten my results.
Occupation ~
* Employed or Unemployed?
Employed, in retail/customer service. Unfortunately.
What is your education?
I'm about a year away from graduating with a BS in History.
What is your dream job?
To make a living as a writer or artist of some kind. I want to be left alone to do my work, and act as my own boss. I need my independence.
About You ~
* Tell us in a brief paragraph or two how you would describe yourself and what you hope to get out of this forum.
I'm not very good at writing these "about me" things, but here are some basics. I'm a student, an introvert, I'm bisexual, and I'm obsessed with cats. I like to read, enjoy watching drag queen movies, and sleep too much.
I joined this forum because it's interesting to talk with other people interested in the psychology of personality. I also like to hear the experiences of fellow introverts, because it isn't exactly easy to find and strike up a conversation with them in person.

What is your favourite section at the toy-store?
As a child, I would always make a beeline for the plush animals. These days I usually check out the collectible action figures or video games.
Do you collect anything?
Postcards, random trinket-y things I find on the ground (bits of broken jewelry, zipper pulls, buttons, etc.), and, up until a couple years ago, Pokemon cards.
What are your phobias?
I don't have any.
Describe your favourite food until you drool.
Pizza. Baked in a brick oven with perfectly melted four cheese, topped with fresh basil and slices of tomato. It'd have a thin, flaky, crispy crust, and flavorful, seasoned sauce. It'd be small enough to finish, but filling enough to not want more.
Some of the things that you give you jollies?
People baby-talking to animals, gay couples who clearly adore each other, walking into a bookstore, getting off work early, having an entire day to myself, frolicking about in large, open spaces (grassy fields and the beach), the first big drop on an intense rollercoaster, hearing a new song for the first time and knowing you'll be listening to it on repeat for the next month.
What are your top five pet peeves?
1) People who stir up drama and conflict for no reason other than to get attention.
2) People who are completely oblivious/ignorant of their surroundings. (Blocking paths, driving slow in the fast lane, talking loudly in a quiet room, etc.)
3) People with anger management problems.
4) People who refuse to budge from their beliefs even when the truth is presented to them.
5) People in general.
What would a perfect day be like for you?
I'd wake up without an alarm around 9am and have toast and a hot cup of tea. It'd be foggy outside. I'd feel inspired to work on a personal project for the majority of the day, and have great results. At night I'd curl up in bed and watch an old favorite movie and eat a delicious, homemade dinner. Then I'd play a video game or read until I fall asleep. Throughout the day I'd have no phone calls or text messages, and I'd have no upcoming events to feel stressed over.
Do you prefer a vegetarian or meat diet or both?
I'd say I'm about 90% vegetarian. That is, I'm not the kind of vegetarian that will balk if the soup is made with chicken stock, or if there are minuscule bits of chicken in the egg fried rice or bacon bits in the mashed potatoes. I do avoid eating meat dishes for the most part, however, including fish.
Other Other ~ Yay or Nay?
God and Souls:
Well, they're interesting subjects to study. I adore learning about all kinds of different mythologies, and I enjoy learning about God the same way I enjoy learning about Zeus and Odin. I don't personally have any kind of religious faith or spiritual belief, but I find both past and present legends, folktales, and supernatural beliefs absolutely fascinating. I don't judge people for their beliefs unless they, as an individual, are harmful and/or force their opinions onto others.
The Death Penalty:
I don't have a strong opinion either way. It's a tricky issue, what with prison funding, a faulty justice system, and overpopulation.
Premarital Sex:
I am all for it. Why anyone would marry someone without knowing what they're like in bed is beyond me.
People are inherently good:
That's a load of bull.
Destiny:
No such thing, in my opinion. We're all just heaps of flesh and bones bumping around on a giant, watery rock. We live, we die. There isn't anything more to it.
Done drugs:
I haven't done any drug drugs, but I do enjoy my alcohol and will smoke tobacco on rare occasions.
Kissed in the rain:
I don't think I've done this, actually.
Re-reading a good book:
I've probably read my favorite book about 12 times now.
