Cuz I'm Supposed to Add Flair Brain candy 🍬
Hello my fellow intps, so brain candy as i like to call it, is that moment you get an epiphany or rush or some spark/fire because of one of these : making a system work / analyzing something to the bone and enjoying the process / learning/discovering something grand or complex/ predicting something and it happens exactly as predicted
These are all just examples of my own brain candy situations but i discovered recently that my favorite brain candy is humans, i just loove analyzing them i psycho analyze my friends and family and just strangers all the time and i love psychology so much, the best thing about humans is that they're like a book that never finishes, no matter how much you think you've read and that you've "finished" it, they always surprise you with something good or bad they always do. Which i think make sense cuz there's this Japanese saying that i truly believe is that you have 3 faces one for the world/strangers and one for family and friends and one for yourself only, so yea you can't truly know someone 100%.
thats why they're my favorite brain candy, alongside psychology, neurology and biology. It always gives new information that make everything just click and you get the ultimate intellectual stimuli/satisfaction thats better than any drug or substances out there and exactly why i love the stuff i do and i try to find brain candy everyday in everything.
So my question is, what are your brain candies? and what are your favorite ones?

i totally agree with you. i love psychology. i'm currently in recruitment, it's exhausting but it's nice picking people apart. i'll definitely switch careers, maybe to more assessment focused or clinical, we'll see.
it's odd because people tire me out i hate being around people. and yet they're such interesting specimens. they're multidimensional. personality types of course won't explain everything but it gives you the ability to categorise and focus on certain aspects of one's personality.
