What can you tell me about this personality? *long read warning* #2.

[psy_guy]

Hi everyone... This is the second personality, I would like to know more about. This guy is very complicated in peoples' that knows him a little bit more opinion. There will be many abstract phrases and pointing outs, stories of him saying things. They are short, but there's a lot of them. So this is some heavy read. Get ready.

That's some long read, requiring a big and explainful answer, so if you are not going to answer, please don't even read it.

Here's what I think: They may have some psychological sickness (Yea, psychological sickness sometimes is for ruining lives, helping relatives and naming things you do, but anyway), also I've my ideas about their personalities, etc.

Question: What do you think about those personalities? What can you tell me about them? And do they have any psychological sickness? Would be nice some long, nice and explainful answers.

P.S. I know, that it's hard to determine with no meeting the person, but from how he acts, is that possible, that he has some psychological sickness?

These speculations are taken from talking to them generaly, being friends with those people and by talking about some of these things, giving random questions for example. I'm not using emotions while writing this text, so it won't be any "emotion driven" context.

Your answers are for making sure I am right (good in psychology), or I am wrong (not very good yet). At determining peoples' actions.
Your answers should help me get better in psychological examination of peoples' personalities and actions.
Your answers are for my own interest about these people. Getting know them better, if I am not right, and if I am right about some things.

Personality #2:
This guy is 19 years old too.
He is distant from others. Usually sitting away from other classmates, unless he is sitting with someone, then he talks, if he's friends with the guy.
When he's approached, he can talk, act normal, etc., but himself - he not often approaches people. He approaches people, when they are alone, and when they are friends with him, not just classmates, not always though. If they are with other people, or in a group, he tend to stay away, though very rarely, but he comes near them, but doesn't talk much or at all anyway.
He seems to always be thinking about something. You can never see an empty look in his eyes.
He hardly shows any emotions, except he laughs, when he hasn't slept much. (At least he says so, and I tend to believe him). He says so, that he is unable to control his laugh that good, when it's not funny. (That's true, one guy laughs, other will do the same, then others are laughing too, even if it's not funny.)
He's universal when talking to people. He talks to someone who acts cool and doesn't show any weaknesses, he talks to a smart guy, he shows, that he is a smart person too.
He is smart. His IQ is high too. He talks smart. He thinks smart. However, he doesn't look smart, as he is always tired and he often have trouble expressing himself.
He have troubles expressing himself, expressing what he feels and what he thinks. Even during the tests, he calculates stuff in his mind and writes the answers most of the time. He is not able to calculate it on the paper. That makes his grades low.
He often quickly understands things and other peoples' intentions. He's like a human reader or something.
He often uses those speculations against the persons, who wants to use them against him. So as he says: "I don't get hurt, and they taste their own s***". He even uses that against teachers. We have had a teacher who shows hapiness every time someone gets nervous because of her. She tries to hide that, but she is smiling and laughing silently. He likes to use her things that she uses to get someone else a bad day against herself.
He's never tried to look cool badly. He used to change his clothes to some more fancy ones, I noted that, but not something drastic like drinking or smoking. That has happened, when he had a new class. Now he seems to be walking with the same clothes all the time, or maybe similar ones, he doesn't do his hair at all, he can come with "a horn" to school after getting to the bed with wet head. Seems like he doesn't care much about other peoples' opinion about him.
He almost never expresses his emotions, but he is emotional inside. However, he is not concerned about problems of other people. He is emotional about his unsuccess or something like that. I am not sure, he doesn't talk about it much.
He knows everyone a little bit, even though he doesn't talk to them.
He knows most of the people around, talks to them, when they talk to him. However, he has only few friends, which i couldn't call his best friends, as they say, that he doesn't share much with them. Neither he does with me. He tends to stick with those guys separately, but doesn't run away when approached by someone else.
He sits near his computer most of the time, he isn't sociable. He would never go to a party or do something like that. Some other people calls him as a guy with no life. He enjoys playing games, reading stuff, doing whatever else with the computer instead. It's good to play games with him alone, when I play.
He's silent most of the time. I've seen him only a few times shouting from his place or raising his hand, when teacher asks something. He just sits there. Don't know if he do know the answer, or he doesn't.
He's good in things, that requires logic. However, he is not able to learn algebra - just like me. He also hardly learns stuff, that is not interesting for him. He just doesn't remember it. Just like me too. He's not too bad in theory, he can even figure stuff out and tell me, before the teacher does, when he sits next to me. I do too often though, but most of the class seems to have many stupid questions.
He's living with his mom. He never knew his father. he doesn't want too, at least he says so.
He's not living very rich lifestyle. It's a poor country here after all, and I'm not the only one who's poor.
He's often conflicting with his mom, as she wants something from him, that is not likely to happen, or he shouts with just no real reason sometimes. Like he asks her something, she shouts. She's in a bad mood often. (Speaking trough Skype with him, when playing, so I can hear some stuff).
He doesn't get any money, like me, from anywhere. Just no possibility.
He's got a lot of great ideas, theories. He's good at pointing out something, like which means.... stuff like that.
He can get A+ from mathematical exercises, that requires logical thinking, even though he doesn't know the topic.
He has never been outside the country. He hates this country.
He doesn't believe in god or other mystical things. At all.
He arguments everything he says, if it's neccesary. Some funny situations happens with teachers sometimes, as teachers are not the brightest persons in the world. We all laugh...
He is good at doing multiple things at the same time. He can sometimes play a game with me, talk on Skype, play chess, listen to music, eat and even read at the same time.
He is good at leadership, when it's between a small group. He tells what to do, how to do it. He doesn't like to be commanded by somebody else.
He is a little bit arrogant sometimes.
He used to help people with their problems with computers. But people were taking an advantage of him in my opinion. Then something happened, he became a little bit arrogant and stopped helping everyone. He has been helping some girl he likes from our class (At least I think so, as he used to look at her often. I tend to think, that he wanted to show her that he likes her, because he is not that stupid to risk being laughed at, at least I think so. She's pretty, I won't argue, and looks smart, but even I knew, that she's occupied...) in the end only, and some 40 years old guy, who has some psychological sickness, as I know the guy too. I used to play some game with him, he gets shot, and he shouts for 5 minutes some non-sense. That isn't right... But after that, as far, as I know, he doesn't help nobody.
He's good at doing things he likes. If he doesn't - he sees no point in that, he just doesn't do it, unless something hangs on it, or he does it just to do it, so no one will ask him next time.
He looks free and independant, not respecting the rules and questioning the authority. Like I gave the example earlier...
He is really lazy. For example, I remember him asking those better friends of him for a month or two, about going with him to a bookstore, to buy some book for the school. He was too lazy to go alone, at least he said so. Claiming, that it's boring going alone, and that it's 20 minutes walk. He's no car.
He prefers to do things himself, if he needs them done for himself. He doesn't trust something of his' to other people. Otherwise - he doesn't mind someone else doing something for someone else.
He looks for an easy way to get things done. However, he doesn't cheat at tests at school, as most of the students do over here. Not including me though. However, I knew him cheating to get something from someone.
He express what he thinks freely most of the time. He doesn't care much about others' feelings often. He is a gentlemen not rarely though, so he probably wouldn't do that near some important people that he likes, nor his good friends. However, he tends to keep what he thinks, if the other people could influence something bad for him.
He likes to play with lower IQ peoples' minds. In online games, he can get people nervous by doing that, as he does the word play thing.
You can tell him anything, he won't tell it to anybody, except if his life will be at stake, and he won't see a way out. Stories here, no true experience. He can argued a teacher once, by not telling here, who's told him about wrong homework, then I was in the class. That doesn't mean much though, but yea, other stories makes it count.
He thinks high of himself, he thinks, that he is smart. He is actually, but still, he expresses that freely, not concealing it.
He looks skeptically into all these horoscopes and predictions, 2012, etc. that is hypothesized, not paranormal things. At least predictions and 2012.
He is not scared of showing, what he really thinks about a person which he know, that he won't ever need him or her. But he can pretend and be friendly to his enemy, if he knows, that he will be able to use him for something.
I think, that he believes in eye for an eye.
He has a very subtle humor feeling, he often is not laughing at regular jokes. I am not too sometimes, but he is even more concealed.
He doesn't like to talk about himself or his feelings. He says, that he waits (well, that's a translation, not waiting literally, just that he won't tell any regular persno) for a person, that he will trust, a girlfriend, who will be able to listen to him, or a very good friend.
He rarely shows his weaknesses. Sometimes when he's standing in the corridor, it looks like he's some C.I.A. guard, guarding the president, lol.
If asked, he can tell the person a lot of bad things about him. Or good things. I mean by the same person.
He hates weak and especially stupid people. He tolerates them though, at least outside.
He tolerates every religion, as he believes in opinion, not authority. But as long, as they don't try to imply anything for him. Then he either makes it quick, or he plays with the guy's mind and makes him sorry for trying to convince him to believe in something.
He knows his rights and he knows other peoples' rights. He is able to use them against them.
He doesn't like sharing. However, he doesn't have much money, so I understand him, as I don't have much money too.
He tries to get as much, as possible from some situation.
He's often sad. Especially, after he started to look at the girl in the class. He doesn't now, but I can see, that he wants to.
He seems very anxious and stressed, when the school year has started for some reason.
From these two, we can tell, that he's often in a bad mood, however, he doesn't show that often.
He is very strong mentally. He had a lot to live trough in his life, at least as far, as i know from him and other people.
He doesn't care about most of the other people. He just wants them to be alive and in touch.
He doesn't trust himself... Aren't confident. At least I think so, but he tries not to show that though, I think, as other people don't see that, according to some of them.
He thinks, that people doesn't like him.
He thinks, that he is even being hated by some people.
People tend to laugh at smart talks, so they do at his unpleasant conversations with some teachers (those that are trying to imply their thinking, which isn't right in my opinion too).
He doesn't think about the future much, he lives now. He do think a little, but not that he would do much now, to help his future, even though he knows, that he is doing a bad thing.
He doesn't like childish or hyperactive people. He doesn't like someone jumping around from hapiness or an idea to go to the cinema.
He's stubborn. You cannot convince him to do something often. He keeps his own opinion, unless you can tell him very strong arguments about his opinion.
He doesn't like art much, however, he loves music, but most of the time not for words, but only for the background, as he doesn't even know what the song was about often.
He takes criticism well, he hates, when people talks around his back.
He hates crowded places, busses, concerts. I doubt that he has been in a concern or in a cinema during his life with friends or alone. No money, but he doesn't like it too. As so he says when asked.
He doesn't like sports. He says, that he likes martial arts though.
He sometimes thinks too deep when asked by a teacher a simple question and is understood wrong.
He has told me and other friends of his, that he haven't been with a girl yet. Not even a kiss. Well, I haven't too, so it's not strange to me, just may say something about the person.
He can say the sentence in a very difficult way, he can say it in simple words. It's his choice.
He has no life experience about things that other usualy have, like driving a car, kissing a girl, being drunk, smoke weed, etc. I have no experience about these things too though...
He likes things of quality, he can pay 100$ for a headset and be alright with that. And he doesn't spend his money on pleasures, like a candybar for example. When he have money. Same like me.
He understands concepts of thinking some way, in fact, we share info sometimes, but he doesn't use it sometimes, even though he knows, that he should.
He doesn't like horror movies and I noticed, that he has stopped watching romantic movies like a year ago, or two maybe. He do, but very rarely. All other genres except most animation movies are okay with him.
He says that he thinks about how he could've done something better at some situation long time ago, or not. Partially like me.
He holds grunges on some people, but not all. He saw a guy, who has laughed at him once at 4th grade or something like that, and he was angry at him. He is not angry at someone, who has laughed at him more times at the class for some reason though.
He sometimes avoid meeting people, saying his.
He says hi only because he should say hi most of the time.
He doesn't use much gestures when talking.
He seeks advantage for him, not for other people. He would probably choose a million bucks for himself, than 1.5 million for his friend.
He is concerned about his life and is trying to improve it, but his lazyness is obstructing that.
He often do things in a rush, sometimes leaves a mistake, but often does his job.
If he is doing something for himself, he keeps doing it until it's near perfect or it's perfectly good, a website would be a good example.
He tends to drop big things and not finish them, he is lazy he says, even when he wants to do those things. He continious them after some time, even years if we are talking about game saves.
He has trouble making himself do something he doesn't want or start something he wants. Then he has trouble finishing things that he likes and have started.
People usualy doesn't want to talk to him, except picking on him, because he's too smart and his thoughts are too different from most of the people. He's got an understanding with only one guy from our class, who's smart too, he's a friend of mine too. Other guys apart from that dude for him are not the ones, he is talking a lot.
Even some teachers are laughing at him, or looking like at a stupid, because he can place them in their place, if they overuse their authority. He laughs double back though, but the classmates still laughs at him, not at the teacher.
He doesn't do sports class, he hates it. He has a good figure (wide shoulders, great man figure), but he is not athletic. He should've been an athlete in many peoples' opinion.
He has solved many puzzles of other people, including a murder. That wasn't done by the cops for a week or two, and it took him just a quick look.
He values money a lot, but he wouldn't sell his friend.
He is very rarely involved in class' things, like shows or discussions, or help.
He is a very good liar, he can lie his way out of many situations. He can talk out of any situation too, if the other person is smart and understands the term "logic". Seen that happen with teachers and other persons.
Once he has been asked about why he doesn't learn good by a few classmates. He said, that he hopes, that he will do something without the paper for good grades, although he knows, that it's neccesary these times, or many people to know is. But he still doesn't care and keeps learning what he likes. Then somebody asked about his parents, don't they ask him to? He said, that everyone around him are telling him his whole life, that he is stupid, wort nothing and won't achieve anything. Also he is being told, that he must learn after all that. As far, as I know, that would be ~10 relatives he meets every month few times.
He also said, that his relatives are trying to control his life, implement him their way of thinking, like absolute right and wrong, which he doesn't believe in, karma, god, etc.
He said, that he would go out to a restourant or a pizza place with friends only, he wouldn't go to a party or to drink, if he had money.
He have had a job, but he didn't liked, that he had to read one latin word (we don't speak latin here) for ~5 minutes of a drunk doctor's writing. Also the smell in that place. He would get about 300-400$ a month. He just took his 20$ for a few days and took off. He said the reason was, that he wasn't able to do it productively, he had many more interests, long way to the job and he would just waste his time and eventually be kicked out for not doing his job as expected. Then he added, that he's bad at reading writings (that means something i believe).
He have a very good imagination and is very creative.
He doesn't like to share his thoughts with others, especially the theories, logic thoughts, etc. He shares them only with his closer friends and it's like 10% of them. He doesn't hide that.
He doesn't like risking much, because as he says, if he loses money, he won't have the money. He said, that he would risk some things, if he have had lots of spare money.
He wouldn't want to marry a woman, as he says, he understands no point of marriage, except the split of things on the divorce and rings. He sees it as a way to control and limit people.
He has been laughed at up to 9th grade. Laughed at, dropped papers, not beaten hardly, jsut a little. I can remember him from the first grade. He was very shy, he said, that he hadn't any friends, when he was young, because the youngest neighboar was 6 years old, and that was his step brother or something. So he was very shy, and as he points it out, people tend to laugh at shy people, and as he was laughed at, he became shyer and then he has been bullied all those years. As far, as my knowledge goes, he haven't had a friend until 6th or 5th grade. I remember him talking to some guy at 2nd grade, but he was retarted (literally)...
He has been in many psychiatrists rooms (That is confirmed by some speculations and someone said, but not himself. Neither this has been told to him, as far, as I know). He has been, because his parents thought, that he is not okay psychologically. However, all the psychiatrists have told his parents, that he is perfectly fine. Then later he was in an asylum for a month's speculation how he acts with other people. But hey, I've been there for for my friend, as his girlfriend has been there for losing her temper a lot. I've seen how people act in there, they are damn crazy. So anyway, as far, as my research goes, he wasn't talking to many people, except if it's a must, only to the grownups, and he wasn't questioned a lot too. his parents were. So the psychiatrist has said, that he's got asperger's syndrom or austim, something like that. As far, as I understand, it was from parents' tellings. I've asked him if he does personality tests recently, and I gave him like 5 tests to do, one of them was autism, asperger's tests. His score was very low. There's 200 points total in those tests, and his score was even lower than mine... So it adds up, that he isn't sick by many other psychologists and by those tests, at least I think so.
He said, that he wouldn't want a girlfriend for the need to go out, possibly when he doesn't want to, and the need of money and activies he wouldn't like to do. However, he said, he would have a girlfriend for sex and talking.
He is always tempt, like some agent, ready for something.
He wouldn't take a bullet for someone else. That came up after a movie.
He is not touched by the things, that other people are, and he is calm in tense situations for other people. He doesn't fear the authorities and other people, that are trying to talk him with shouting or force to do something.
He is touched only by very good movies, with a good and deep thought inside them, or a true story. Otherwise - he is not.
He had lots straith chess matches (he almost haven't played chess before, only a few times (less than 10, as he says)) against other guy, who plays them occasionally. And his time was 2x or 3x shorter. That I know from the guy he beaten, that guys is quite good, as he has won vs an ex-champion in our country, who took the 2nd place.
He likes all kinds of music, except that death rock, screamo, or russian songs... That is as far, as I know, might be something else.
He doesn't like ufimisms very much.
His temper tests (remember, i gave him a few tests?) said, that he's a melancholic flegmatic. 47%/53%.
He is not interested much in world news, he tends to study other things, but not current events. He watches no TV too, and he listens no radio.
He loves puzzles and riddles. Me too.
He is scared for something for his health.
He sometimes forgets things, that are important to others, or half important, and not important to him. Sometimes he even forgets important things for him.
He likes to do things alone rather than in a group.
He doesn't trust otherst at all. Maybe he trusts the people he knows a bit more and likes, I don't know about that.
He doesn't get angry.
He is not easly satisfied. He also requires arguments on some things, or they means nothing to him.
It seems, that he loves arguing and discussing things.
He not always keeps his promises.
He has been at 8th class two years, because he was lazy to learn and thought "everything will turn out good, I don't care". However, it didn't. It could though, I think, but since no one listens to children... Oh well, not my business.


There will be more personality questions, after this one is answered. Sorry for the heavy read, it's just hard to write about a mysterious person. It's even hard for me to make my opinion about this guy. There I have many probably incorrect speculations, etc.

And don't hesitate to write bad things too, as I said - I won't get insulted or anything else.

Thanks!

P.S. I will add something, if I think of something, to the end of the text...

[acousticeagle]

This guy's piqued your curiosity, hasn't he? He's a 'loner' type of personality IMO and loners will attract the curious by their aloofness. Ever been with someone and wondered what that person's thinking? This chap is highly intelligent, no doubt, and he recognises his high intuitive intelligence, that's why he's got a good tolerance level for others.

Actually, from your description of this chap, for a loner he's going to be good survivor in life, even with poverty he currently deals with. He'll probably end up in a job where he works alone and he'll like it that way, feeling very comfortable with it. In some people being alone is perferable to all the people clutter around. They are thinkers, creators, innovators.

He only has a few close friends because they are the ones that he'll only allow anywhere near his 'inner life' because he has granted them that degree of his trust. Other people he will appear to use to advantage, but he does not appear to be a really selfish person that much - just someone who reasons that if the circumstances are suitable he can use that to his best advantage; he has just calculated it all.

This young chap lives 'in his head' - and because he's a thinker, always thinking and the energy he uses for this natural inclination for this thinking must be considerable. That's probably why you might look at him and see him 'set apart' and wonder why he's not like others. It's because (I think) that the energy other people use to flow socially and appear more atypical [ie of the other students] is not so in this guy. He thinking, not acting or speaking as others would more naturally do. He will probably be 'thinking' through everything, and having satisfied himself mentally he will not spend time in conversation - for his mind has probably already satisfied itself as to the possible outcomes of these converstations already!

Yes, the cerebral loner is a curious one, and maybe one to be admired. Not to be feared. This guy sounds ok, I think, nothing to worry about. He sets his own boundaries and sounds like he's doing ok for himself.

[acousticeagle]

oh I would add that the reason why this chap could do better at school I got from the clue you supplied about his relationship with his mother - and through not having a father (role model) at home. School is hard for him because his home life is probably not good. How can a student be encouraged to learn and do well at school as when they go home they are not 'rested up' from being at school all day. You don't know but he might come to school to get away from an unhappy home life.

But imagine if he did have encouraging parenting, or at least someone who was a very encouraging nurturer - he would probably do well in all his subjects and be a very scholarly student indeed.

[psy_guy]

This guy's piqued your curiosity, hasn't he? He's a 'loner' type of personality IMO and loners will attract the curious by their aloofness.

Yea, this guy's real interesting, because he's different, than most of the people at school or I've met.

for his mind has probably already satisfied itself as to the possible outcomes of these converstations already!

Exactly! Sometimes someone calls him on phone, says the first sentence and he's giving a question about the thing, that the person is going to say or ask. Crazy, isn't it? Haha.

You don't know but he might come to school to get away from an unhappy home life.

Actually he is not scared to tell the people, that loves school and teachers, that he hates school. He says, that it's because there's too many stupid people, not many people to talk to about his topics and that school over here doesn't learn the things he will need in his life. I actually agree with the last pointing out, at least about mathematics... Where would you need to use advanced algebra in real life? I know, that they are learning calculus in US, which is very different, from what we are learning over here.
Also, he says almost every day, that he wants to go home and sometimes he even doesn't attend to some lessons, which are wortless in his opinion. Rarely though, but still.
I really don't think, that he likes the school from his behaviour and thoughts about it.

Also some more information to the above text:

He has told some of us, that he had real great time at home sometimes, when he was a kid, some stories sharing it was, when we were talking about our childhood, somebody asked him, as he commented on something. So he has told us some nice things.
He also have said to a teacher once... Maybe a year ago, after she asked him "what he is doing in her lesson, if he have no books, and if he doesn't like it, he can go out" (he forgot them, i think). He said, that he actually doesn't like her lessons, nor the school. If it was his decision, he would stay home all day long. Then the teacher said an old saying here - "you must feel good everywhere, everything is god's creation". He said then - "I feel good only at my home, and don't try to imply your god to me". Then she said to get out of her lesson, and he calmly walked out, like nothing happened.

But imagine if he did have encouraging parenting, or at least someone who was a very encouraging nurturer - he would probably do well in all his subjects and be a very scholarly student indeed.

That's possible, yes. Although I'm not sure, because as you might remember from the big text and small example above, he doesn't like the things he is being thought at the school.

Oh, by the way, he goes to the IT class, and we are learning one of the first programming languages and the first version of website development languages, which is really old. It's ~20 years old he says. That's true, and that IS pointless in my opinion too. Actually I've investigate his claims, and seems, that he is right overall. Some good programmers even claims, that those languages can even damage the advanced programming languages later on, if you are going to learn them, because of the complexity of the code and different algorithms.

So these things makes me think, that he wouldn't be a very good student, but who knows.

Thanks for your input!

oh ok! that explains some more.
Actually, I remember the same sentiments that some students, including myself had about what we thought were 'useless' subjects. But my high school divided the humanities students from the maths/science students in fourth form -that is, from the age of around 14 to 15. And, as I remember there was more said about that at my applied art college as in just how useful was a particular subject out there in the 'real world'.

I reckon this guy will probably end up finding his way in life if he has any sort of focus as to what he wants to do with his life. While he's still living at home, like most students, they have the freedom to not feel as pressured for their futures.

Well, as far, as I know, he likes computers a lot, but he is interested in a lot of subjects. He doesn't share much on what he does with the computers. When he's asked about what he is going to do in his future, he says, that he will be working with computers, preferably in a programming sphere. And when he's asked about his dream job, he says, that he would like to have his own company, which would focus on creating computer games. That would make sense, as he has a lot of ideas about them, and he is able to criticize them.

I will say my opinion on this, because I cannot say for him.

I actually think, that SOME of the things we learn is good. Like physics, but not all of it, just the theory is useful. Calculations is useless most of the time (pay attention to most of the time), you are not going to stand and calculate how far will the ball fly to the right side according to the wind's direction and speed with a calculator, before trowing it to your friend...
History... Well, it's not pratically useful, but it's something you can look smarter from, when talking to the people. I like history myself.
Mathematics - calculus is mostly useful, but where would you use roots, fractions and making ummm, how to say... substracting exercises. Not substractions, but for example 2(2+2)= (2*2)+(2*2).... You may use the things, that are logical or would require not much knowledge, like percents or probability theory for example. Those are good things to know. Theory is too, but not those advanced algebra things.
Language... Well, main language is a good thing to know, I guess. I mean, it will make you talk better, if you want it, do less mistakes and use more words. However, personally I don't like the books part, where you must read the books and interpret them. First of all - I have no intention to read those books. I like to read the books of science for example, the books of interesting things to myself, but I do not like fiction books much. Plus they are big and the reading is time-consuming. So I'm against that part of the main language lessons...
geography... Well, a lot of people from other countries think we are living in a soviet union, or have no idea where my country is. So yea, geography is a nice thing to know.
Biology is a nice thing to know too, but probably not how human chromosomes are joining and other similar stuff. That is not going be used in a real world probably.
Chemistry... Theories, basic formulas, what will happen if you drink acid, etc, yes. But not the big formulas about the elements. You aren't going to need to calculate how much time will pass after the match will light up, after you brush it...
Physical training, now this is and good, and bad. Bad, becauseeveryone's phisique is their own business, but again - everyone should exercise at least a little bit.
Economy - well, at least for me, everything is logical in there... A regular person won't need ~80% of the stuff we are learning in there, unless he is going to have a company of his own.
IT - over here - useless... Useful in some other countries.

That's my opinion. So yea, many unuseful things we are learning, but some are useful and should be learned.

I wrote another personality about, and I believe, I won't receive any comment on my last post, so here is the link to the third personality: http://psychology-forum.com/personality-theories/what-can-you-tell-me-about-this-personality-*long-read-warning*-3/new/#new.
This one's a little bit easier for me to make my opinion, there I will be able to more use comparition between my understandings and psychological examination, because I am able to do more speculations as a guy with no psychological training.

Thanks for your opinion!

I don't think there's anything "wrong" with this guy at all. He knows what he wants and it just doesn't happen to include a large number of friends.
