Ahh, I can't be like that. I think you need to be really smart to be able to do that and still achieve, and I'm not that smart. In uni most people did their essays the night before and the like, I had mine done 3 nights before hand-in at the very latest

Plus I only go for leadership roles when I have to, generally I prefer just doing my own thing. For example, at university I directed short films, but my chosen art form is writing, as I don't have to rely on anybody else to get it finished

That's awesome dude. The only creative side I have is pencil drawing. I'm not too bad at that. I would be overwhelmed by film direction.

Really smart, or okay with getting a C. lol Essays always bored me. I was more a math and Science guy, and I have forgotten most of that. I do pick things up fairly quickly though.

I've seen some of your drawings, you're good!

I've often felt that one of the differences between INFP and INTP is the proclivity towards purely creative activities. I have to create new stuff nigh constantly or I'd go mad.

ENTP = the creative one. 👆

See, that makes sense to me: INTP has always screamed maths and science to me. I'm certainly no maths whizz, I find it fascinating, but the level of consistency it requires eludes me.

I think I'd prefer that kind of mind, though. Creativity is an irritating and constantly unfulfilling burden at best.

Like high school equivalency tests or college courses? That's pretty cool. That's not a job I hear about very often.
No worries

Some are high school equivalency Like maths/English

Others are college like security/childcare/fitness etc

Thanks man. I'm trying to get back into it. Maybe do commission work if I can improve more.

I have to have the motivation and absolute isolation from any other distractions.

Reformed ex-cons often make great social workers, from what I've seen/heard

They are. 'T' is rarely associated with creativity

It's awesome someone is looking out for them. I'm terrible at that kind of stuff. It's why we need empathetic people in the world.

Really? I wouldn't have guessed that.

Yeah, I like finding things out and working on problems.

Creativity is frustrating, but creating something...seeing a vision come to fruition would be very gratifying I would think.

I've met a few social workers who had disadvantaged childhoods, turned to crime, then grew up and realised why they turned out like they did, and how to help people from going the same route

idk, for me it's gratifying for about ten minutes, an hour, maybe even a day, then the feeling goes, and only the creative itch is left. In all honesty, I hate it. I am proud of many things I've created, but not in any meaningful way, as there are countless other people just as creative around the world, many of whom are better.

I'd rather be happy doing crosswords, maths problems, etc.
