Dexter

"Guilt Can Be A Killer"
These were the words that caught my attention when I was on the prowl for a killer TV series on IMDb. The answer was pretty bloody: "Dexter" 

I am a lazy guy and wanted to leave my search to where it was, but a newly found acquaintance informed of the series (all 5 seasons) soon to be telecasted on Star World. There it was. TV is something I can take care of. And begin 7 March 2011, my bloody quest started and how!! It was the title theme that gave me hunches: 'This is going to be one hell of a show you'll ever watch!' And as is with most cases, my hunches didn't disappoint me :)

Dexter is a story of Dexter Morgan, a guy who gets unusual feelings for blood. He takes up a job as a Blood Spatter Analyst at the Miami Metro PD, but that ain't enough. The thirst for blood makes him restless, so it's now on Harry to control the urge of his adopted son and give it a new direction. The speed changes to velocity following a certain set of rules better known as Harry's Code and Dexter is now on the prowl for bad guys who escape the system, only to be punished by Dexter, the power saw to the people.

The most fascinating part of the story is of course Dexter, who portraits  the INTJ character seamlessly. The unusual thought process, the code following, the oh-shit look on dealing with emotions, the self-talks and the cold look are all signs of a perfect INTJ! 

I'm in love with Dexter and am sure you'll be too. And if by chance, you ever want to rid the society of bad guys, make sure you follow the first rule: Never Get Caught, because:

INTP??!!

I boast myself of being an INTP, but it suddenly occurred to me that most people visiting this blog  may not know what an INTP is.
So, just let me give you a brief overview of my personality type, better known as INTP.

INTP is one of the 16 MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality types categorized by four parameters or functions as popularly known.

1. How they focus their attention or get their energy (extraversion(E) or introversion(I))
2. How they perceive or take in information (sensing(S) or intuition(N))
3.  How they prefer to make decisions (thinking(T) or feeling(F))
4. How they orient themselves to the external world (judgment(J) or perception(P))  

 

So, just combining I, N, T and P functions from the above set, you get me..TADA!! Intoverts usually are quiet and self-contained. Intuitive persons depend on their sixth sense more than their five senses. Thinkers prioritize brain more than heart and Perceivers go unplanned, reacting spontaneously to situations. And as you may have guessed, others are opposite.

 INTPs generally theoretical and abstract, more interested in ideas than in social interaction. Others see us as quiet, contained, flexible and adaptable. We like to develop logical explanations for everything that interests us and have an unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in my area of interest. Often skeptical, sometimes critical and always analytical, INTPs are generally what many term as weird, absurd or geeky.

Love us or hate us, we are what we are. And there goes a famous quote:

"When I'm good, I am Good. When I'm bad, I am Better." 

If you still don't get what an INTP is, don't worry. There will sure be more to come of it.
Cheers :)
