It's good to think - but not too much, scientists say
OP - September 18, 2010, 11:51 PM

This is very much me, I think a lot & my memory is crap

Is there anything to this, or is this just another bit of junk research?

Not sure about this bit. Remembering names (of all kinds of stuff) is sometimes hard, though.

I think more research needs to be done before any definitive conclusions are drawn.

Dunno about this. I think a lot, and my memory is great.

This is really bad, just bad. If I can remember were this article is when the printer gets fixed I might have to print it and show the article to my neurologist.

That is if I even care by my next appointment.

Actually I don't think I'll worry about it. I'm glad that I'm not having headaches 4 or 5 times a week and that the little dancing things don't give me partial seizures anymore and I'm getting more language skills back.

If at first you succeed...try something harder.

Lol science research to take away my N? I think not.

It sounds just like me, but I've already applied my love for all things MBTI to it. (I could be wrong, but right now, it makes sense to me, feel free to change my opinion )

I begin to wander if it's mostly nature that makes us the personality types that we are.

N types do tend to think about things more than S types.

N types are affected by depression more than S types.

N is not S, which means it is not about concrete things, so it's not about memory data.

Like me, my memory cognitive function is Si, and because I am the type I am, that means it's the 3rd function out of 4, not my strongest at all.

You are an ENTJ, which means yours, which is Se, is also in the 3rd. This function is about being observant to all your immediate surroundings, and being able to remember that shit easily. Names, faces, these would be easily remember by S.

I just wander, if we are this way, due to what this article is talking about?

I'm pretty sure the article is mainly talking about how you shouldn't brood too much like thinking negatively or worrying too much about the future or past.

Hey Berberella, wasn't there a thread some place else on this forum to take a test to figure out if you are an an S or an N or all those other intials you are using? I can remeber if i took the test or not. Or if it was something else. Oh well.

I can't believe we just used to call it introspection. I'll have to think about it and maybe get back to you.

Maybe the theists had it right all the time. Don't think just have faith!

Another miracle of Muhammad - 1400 years ago he said it was better not to question (think) but accept only what was being revealed.

Knowing Islam is the only true religion we do not allow propagation of any other religion. How can we allow building of churches and temples when their religion is wrong? Thus we will not allow such wrong things in our countries. - Zakir Naik
