Quote from Eccentrics: a study of sanity and strangeness by, Dr. David Weeks and Jamie James
"Such feelings of superiority are common among young eccentrics, who as a result are rarely popular with their classmates. Those in our study said they escaped into books or fantasy worlds, and found these solitary interests more rewarding than group play, which seemed to them banal and pointless by comparison. This sensitivity to the banality and boredom of life continued into adulthood, and came to be something they took steps to avoid.
To the young eccentric, competition is merely a tedious frittering away of time, while cooperation means being held back by the less able. Given such attitudes, it is hardly surprising that other children regarded young eccentrics as nerds and oddballs: in most cases, they acted as if they were.”

Extroversion (40%) moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private. Accommodation (42%) moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly selfish, uncooperative, and difficult at the expense of the well being of others. Orderliness (38%) moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, random, scattered, and fun seeking at the expense of structure, reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment. Emotional Stability (48%) medium which suggests you average somewhere in between being calm and resilient and being anxious and reactive. Inquisitiveness (86%) very high which suggests you are extremely intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.
INTP - Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. INTPs, called the ARCHITECT by Keirsey (www.keirsey.com), are natural engineers. They prefer to do their work and not be in charge of others. Their goal is to reshape the environment either materially or conceptually. They may eventually come to feel as if they are the very laws of nature themselves. Their effect on civilization has been overwhelming, as they mold and shape the environment with their will. INTPs are also called OBSERVERS. In earlier classfications they would be members of the RATIONAL group, called PROMETHEAN and Phlegmatic. 3.3% of total population.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
