Hello all

How's it going? Name's Dan. I'm an INTJ 5w6. I've been into MBTI for a while, but I haven't really gone on forums much. I like music, chess, astronomy, language. Anyway, I hope to contribute much to this forum.

Welcome Dan!

I'm a newbie over here too.

Mostly classical piano music. I play piano and compose. I also enjoy a bit of jazz and some electronica.

Piano is one of the best instruments there is. I had a piano growing up and now I have a keyboard, but can never seem to dedicate myself to it long enough to play the way I'd like.
What languages?

Yes, it's a great instrument. I think it's a very INT instrument since the keys are laid out very logically and there is an almost unlimited amount of complexity. I think for an INTJ it's great because there it requires a great deal of spending time alone in order to master it. It's also a great way to engage with all of the functions. Since INTJ's have Se as an inferior function, the piano really provide a great sensory experience.

As for language, I should clarify that I'm a lot more interested in linguistics than languages themselves. I still have not brought myself to become fluent in any language, however I have a great deal of understanding of the structures of many different languages and could tell you the connection between say Kazakh and Finnish. I have studied quite a bit of Russian, though. When I have a bit more time, I do plan on working more with this language since I seem to be best at it. I think everyone should be able to somewhat get around in at least one other language.

Welcome, Dan!
Would you like an awkward hug?

Awkward hugs are the best kind.

Also, welcome to the forum Dan!

**Scriabin221** · 08-13-2012, 02:42 AM

OK, I guess. Awkward hugs for all. The kind where I pat you on back while pulling away. All the F's watching cringe.

Bienvenue!
I agree, we should know at least 2 languages. Music, on the other hand, is universal language. I'm still working on it.
