“The truth about lying: who does it, and why”
“But why lie to appear competent or likable? Why not just be yourself? In fact, “just being yourself”, if we examine it closely, takes creative effort. Our expression of who we are involves choices that reflect social and interpersonal context, our mood, our personality, our need to maintain our self-image and so on. If we consider self-presentation as a creative process, we can see how it can easily slide into deception. Every interaction involves decisions about which attributes to emphasise and which to minimise, which impulses to follow and which to ignore. At some point, we may not be choosing among our actual traits and our sincere reactions. We may simply fabricate the traits and reactions the social situation calls for, or that we think it calls for. In other words, we might lie.”

Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving
I reckon this is more accurate – seems to be more similar moodiness to what I have
INTP result: http://similarminds.com/cgi-bin/pairmbword.pl
Introverted (I) 66.67% Extroverted (E) 33.33%
Intuitive (N) 58.33% Sensing (S) 41.67%
Thinking (T) 54.17% Feeling (F) 45.83%
Perceiving (P) 50% Judging (J) 50% ->THIS IS A TIE, could be INTJ instead

This says ‘feeling’ and ‘thinking’ are a tie – which could make me INTP as above.
You are:
- moderately expressed introvert

All three (INTP, INTJ, INFP, INFJ) interestingly are a very low percentage of population.
Looks like I’m certainly an Introverted intuitive.
Although this is pretty dumb – I just did another one and got a totally different result and nearly all the values were 50/50% or 45/55%!
Derr – I’m smart but indecisive. I’m impatient but prefer time to research options. I think love is the most important thing in the world but sometimes doubt it’s existence and think that people are only driven by animal and conditioned logic. Etc etc.
Sator – finally, I knew it!
Sator = LATIN sower| planter; founder| progenitor (usu. divine); originator
(also found: planter, father, creator)
(also: Pavilion-Stall-Tabernacle-Tent-Booth in croatian/serbian – also in mountain name)
(also: a type of lizard)
(See Sator square: Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas )
