The simplest way I would describe myself is as an INTP ,  Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving
(using a neo-jungian approach to personality). I not too concerned about grammar (sic). The daily Astro photo seems to me to be a very INTP type of thing. As is playing games on the Internet. My favourite game is Age of Empires, which I play on the internet a LOT (see: AOE III Heaven).

I am an 'Applied Economist'.

The Economist  is my favourite magazine. My favourite economist is Keynes, who I think is very misunderstood. The problem is that his ideas have to be implemented by politicians. In my opinion, governments can provide stimulus but it wasn't until OPEC that there was an offsetting brake to economic activity, i.e. politicians can't say 'no'. ( Quotes ) 

As an 'Applied Economist' I am very interested in keeping informed about current financial developments. RobTV and its related site, gobleinvestor.com are good sites for Canadians who are interested in investments. George Soros, 'Applied Economist', also has some brilliant ideas (see George Soros open society website ). Is he misunderstood? ( Quote )

Sounds like a plan.
