My personality :)

I just left/sold my own company that I started over 3 years ago. Then people asked why? I said "opportunity cost". I just couldn't explain it in any other way.

Wasn't happy with my response so I got obsessed in psychology for a couple of days this month. So why?

"Someone with extraverted intuition as their leading function is very dependent on his/her feelings of interest and disinterest. Interest and boredom seem to be the driving forces in such a person's life — more so than for any other types. Other types also find things 'interesting' and 'boring,' however, they are able to derive satisfaction and enjoyment from things that aren't necessarily interesting and novel, as opposed to extraverted intuition types."

"What makes something interesting? A new situation, a new set of people, a new way of looking at old things, or novel or unusual information. There has to be some special quality in the information, situation, or people that creates an open-ended, high-potential situation that engages and energizes the mind. Extraverted intuition types would rather choose an unknown situation that might have high potential than a known situation that is known to have low or medium potential."
