I keep hearing females preen about their (supposed) superiority over males because of their (apparently) magical powers of multitasking [add glitter, sparkle and costume change at will].
Leaving aside the utter triviality of the claim for a moment, I wonder how my fellow INTJs cope with multitasking.
I, for one, suck at it.
An example: if I'm on the phone, I only hear meaningless sounds as soon as someone who's in the room with me says something. My mother, who doesn't have that problem, used to drive me nuts, talking to me when I was on the phone. It's like a switch being thrown in my brain where only the most immediate information gets through.
I suppose hating to be interrupted while I'm concentrating on a task also falls into that category.
So, I'm curious: what are your experiences with multitasking?
