depth of feeling: yep. nuff said about the best bits; worst bits, the silliest things absolutely hammer me flat: i've had people really concerned like i was physically in pain or something - just have to tell them it's ok, just a silly thought.
relationships. always been a strange one this, for me. the word "relationship" implies "sharing the same goal". that's what a relationship is. if you share the same goal with someone, you _have_ a relationship. no same goal equals no relationship. and... my goals are pretty far-out, so i don't have that many relationships! so - i'm a bit pathological about relationships, but those that i have i really appreciate.
perception of the world: acute. so sharp i cut myself. absorb information and things like a sponge, but it's such a high degree of observation, it used to be overwhelming. now i kinda stay away from things, that keeps the signal-to-noise ratio down, and i can focus on things i'm here to do.
dedication to what i love: ... mmm... yeah, i'd say so. sort-of. for me, it's more like this: i see things that other people don't: i remember the disparate facts and can make the connections that other people wouldn't. i think, "that's not right. those people are going against the way i think things should be, because if things were like i think they ought to be, they'd be more efficient / have more opportunities to take advantage of if they wanted to / feel more empowered. there's lots of people being disadvantaged, here.". then i think, "is it in my power, with my knowledge of computer technology, do i have the time resources knowledge and money to do something about this, yes or no?" if answer equals yes, then act, otherwise no, drop it like a stone. simple, pathological and clear-cut. completing the loop is itself the reward; overcoming the technical challenges along the way are the things i love, and fulfilling the overall goal is definitely the cherry on top of the cake.
so - yeah. close. but i'd say i'm much more pathological than most. you're helping me to fulfil a goal, or you're not. you've got something to contribute to one of the goals (hello. tell me and we'll have fun with it), or you haven't (bye. have a nice life).

I am curious if INFPs are more likely to put their lives online. I am a "lifestreamer" and wonder if personality type affects propensity for doing so... what do you think?
