Oh also, with masterminds only being a small 1% of population... May I enquire to why you -aren't- suprised there are a few on here?

Well, consider this quote from the INTJ wiki link posted earlier:

INTJs are strong individualists who seek new angles or novel ways of looking at things. They enjoy coming to new understandings. They are insightful and mentally quick; however, this mental quickness may not always be outwardly apparent to others since they keep a great deal to themselves. They are very determined people who trust their vision of the possibilities, regardless of what others think. They may even be considered the most independent of all of the sixteen personality types. INTJs are at their best in quietly and firmly developing their ideas, theories, and principles. - Sandra Krebs Hirsch and Jean Kummerow

Consider the parts highlighted in blue. Wouldn't you say that CR is such a place where people can "seek new angles or novel ways of looking at things," and "come to new understandings;" where people can "quietly and firmly develop their ideas, theories and principles?"

Oh, 17th you might want to read the description of a Realist in the BBC quiz, to see how well it fits. {From what I can tell that is their prediction for the ISTJ type. You might be moving from one into the other.}

Realists

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Summary of Realists

• Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
• Believe in established rules and respect facts
• Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
• May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people

More about Realists
Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit.

Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action.
These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, be critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly. Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.
Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.
Realist Careers
Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.

Depends on the day.
But the real question, 17th, do you believe in god?
And how does that make you feel?

OK Realist, what is real?

{I know I could ask flow, I'm sure he could go on and on about what real should ideally be. I could ask 17th, I'm sure he could plan out what real should be. I could ask Seng T'san, the 3rd Patriarch, and he could say "“Is” and “is not” are the same, For what “is not” equals “is...”}

What says you, Realist?

[flowperson]

Oh, I used a "realist" this morning when I went to the market.

Let's see, milk, diet soda, cucumber, bananas, kiwifruit, etc.

Thanks Snoopy !
