Hello peeps,
I was reading up the other day on the INFJ personality type because it's mine. It's the world's rarest personality type according to the Myers-Briggs personality test. A mental health nurse I worked with several years ago came out one day and said 'INFJ, look it up' and she was right, I've done the test twice and that's how I come out. I don't wanna go down the whole 'what was Rory problem' line again, but I wonder, could Rory have been one? It would explain a lot of the mystery and why he liked to be alone, etc. Donal suggested autism for Rory, which I think is way off the mark. When I was younger, people did say to me, did I have Aspergers. Well, due to where I work now, we diagnose young people with aspergers (amongst many other things) and I did the test and I'm not even on the scale remotely! But people certainly have gotten me wrong. Have a read and see what you guys think.

Next up, Rory had a lot of Camus on his bookshelves I note from the guitar poster. Also Hesse's Steppenwolf. These books are often linked to existentialism. Can anyone remember back in the late 60s/70s, Rory ever mentioning existentialism or reading Jean Paul Sartre?
