"nowhere in africa" & more mbti balderdash



caught Nowhere in Africa this evening - last year's Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film. it's a movie based on "the extraordinary true tale of a Jewish family who flees the Nazi regime in 1938 for a remote farm in Kenya... abandoning their once-comfortable existence in Germany,"

i was stunned by how beautiful the movie was - the pace, the storyline, as well as the realistic protrayal of human strength, weakness, adaptability, fear, love, lust, friendship and trust...

though the show was no less than 3 hours long, rarely does a gem like this come along - go watch it soon before it disappears..

and from terence's page, i got this link that gave me a bit more information about us ENTP types..

ENTPs are interested in and talk about everything that is new and unusual even if it is not in their main field of knowledge. It is as if they are magnetised by all brand new theories and are fascinated by all phenomena that can not be explained with logic or reason, for example: ESP, telekinesis and UFO's. They cannot logically explain their ideas as they are always intuitive and vague. Most people cannot fully comprehend their concepts, they simply believe or do not believe. (hahahaha.... ufos.. hahahaha..)

The main peculiarity of ENTPs behaviour is an incredible absent-mindedness. They usually leave items where they used them and have a tendency to constantly lose smaller objects. ENTPs work place and personal belongings are often kept in disarray. They invariably forget what they have already done and what they need to do. However, they are quick and shrewd in day to day matters, taking advantage of every opportunity that arises. Because of this others may consider them to be crafty or shifty. ( oops... ex-colleagues please do not comment on this... :p)

The other main peculiarity of ENTPs behaviour is the ability to mobilise in extreme conditions. If somebody puts pressure on them they immediately counterattack, often with more than equal force. They also like to give people advice on how to extricate themselves from difficult entanglements, often proposing the most radical solutions. (hahahaha.. anyone remembers the weird advice i've given you???)

One more peculiarity is the element of chaos and destruction that ENTPs bring to every field of their activity. This is especially noticeable in well established institutions where strong discipline is commonplace. However, they implement this chaotic element creatively, generating reform from the destruction. Because of this quality ENTPs often become leaders. (heh heh.. watch out world... :p)
