over 30 and still living at home
Posted: 11/15/2008 12:03:12 AM
"People used to live with their parents for their entire lives... were they all 'immature'?
Just because something is currently the cultural norm doesn't really tell you much about an individual circumstance... take each person as they come to you.

And no... I don't live with my parents... "

Yup. This is very common in MANY cultures, just not the predominant protestant north-american one. :D

Hell, you "white people" go to dinner and SPLIT THE BILL. I've seen married couples do this, and it cracks me up!!! If you treat your spouse that way, then yeah, I guess you would send your parents to a special home, instead of fulfilling your responsibility to care for them as they mature. Oh wait, no - that's too much of an INCONVENIENCE. I forgot the mantra, ME ME ME..

Can you re-take the Personality test?

"It was also found that after people retake it, nearly 50% of people were still in the same category, no matter how much they tried to re-answer certain questions to what they perceived would give them a "better" result. "

"It" notwithstanding, the personality type is not an immutable aspect of one's character and can change over time, both long term and short term. Though people will have long-term tendencies towards particular types, it's important to understand the shorter-term perspective of the individuals.

Likewise, not know this was a permanent aspect of profile creation, I ran out of time and just clicked through several screens to get it over with, anticipating the ability to return at a later time and take the test with more thoughtful answers.

I'm a little dissapointed it cannot be changed, but will look forward to the day that feature is available.
