What Kind of Distracted are You? :)

Postby Twinkling Butterfly » Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:01 pm

I've collected some webcomics featuring inattentive and absent-minded characters: a physicist, a mathematician (here he is the morning after), a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, (all in the same strip; the first two seem more obsessive or anxious than distracted, but the third guy's got it bad), an information junkie (two strips), and Link (only gamers will get it).

I know it's silly, but come on, guys, liven up! Image

Are you a Zelda fan, or did you just recently find out who Link is?

For those of you wondering what this has to do with anything: ADD folks crave things that hold our attention->Videogames hold players' attention (hence the fifth character).

I'm definitely the information junkie. I sit down to do an assignment, but instead, I spend my time browsing unrelated articles, youtube videos, etc. I'm blessed that I have no interest in popular culture, as the the articles I read at least offer some knowledge.

I am an info junkie cuz I get distracted when I try to do any type of work. If I am on the computer, I get really distracted and my mind wanders on other things like my RP, anime, manga, psychology topics, youtube videos, music, anything~ I don't have A.D.H.D, But I have A.D.D. I get very hyper on candy very easily, but for diffrent reasons. xD :lol:

I'm still wondering who the other "physicist" is. I'm thinking of switching to the doctor or lawyer, since moral problems have been keeping me up at night lately. Curious thing about ethics: what it gives in solace, it takes away in sleep.

Lawl I am sooooo a philosophe/analysitr too. Always trying to find some sort of lesson in something and then I ramble and ramble as I analyze and overanalyze XD. I tend to say EVERYTHING I can under the umbrella of the topic instead of just sticking to the most relevant. It's why my essays in school sucked so bad :C I think. That's sorta why I just had either physicist or mathmatician... Instead of numbers and science it's random stuff , trying to figure out the purpose of something or the solution or anything and everything about it XD.

My personaltiy type is usually the observer/critic http://typelogic.com/intp.html

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves

haha that so sounds like me XD. Sometimes I get the helper, but that's like INFP . I can sorta switch between thinking with my emotions and thinking with my logic. When It's INFP I think that's the helper...

OOO maybe I should make a personality type forum up here xD.
