Shokei Takayama-INTP


INTP ‘The Engineer’ is the indicated character of me by the Myers-Briggs Test Indicator. To me, especially today, engineers are thought to sit on facing PCs all the day and just code. In fact, they aren’t, according to Briggs. They only have to be logical, individualistic, reserved, and curious and to be able to explain how things work theoretically. I was happy to hear that because I understand at the moment I don’t need to go buying textbooks about JAVA or C and Python and stay up all the night to procure at least the right to be called engineer so as not to say ‘it was definitely wrong because I don’t even know how to code’ before the next class starts tomorrow. So, I should say I’m a completely ‘The engineer’ type of person. It hundred percent fits me. I am coherent, not group-oriented, restrained, inquisitive, therefore I wouldn’t say the Test Indicator gets something wrong. It fits me, though I am not sure that this indication comes to explain my personality because I surely have the personality mentioned above, but I would say they are not my main personality or not the ones which describe me well. I think they refer to one of my personality. Categorization is powerful and sometimes beneficial, however humans should be put in complex understanding.

    I totally agree with the idea you give at the very end of your essay. We should not forget that our personalities are quite complex and even changeable.

    I thought it was interesting to see that the MBTI test is quite accurate for you. And I think you are right, it is also very important to recognize that people's personalities are complex. If someone did something that was not nice to you, they may have had another reason or another intention.

    Yes! I also think humans are too complex to be simply explained by a personality test.
    But in some way using personality tests correctly can help us know ourselves better and accept who we are.

Should individual countries have the right to interfere with the affairs of another country?-Shogo Moro, Erina Kon

Image
     The principle of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of another nation is enacted by the Charter of the United Nations, and globally accepted. However, should individual countries truly have no right to interfere with the affairs of another country?      It is widely believed that every country should have the right to decide their policies independently. Interference often leads to one-sided demands and unreasonable dominance, which contradict the benefit of a country which receives them. The history of colonization obviously reveals the existence of conflicts and exploitation as a result of outside intervention. Additionally, Russian invasion of Ukraine indicates that interference in the affairs of another country results in a terrible situation even today. On the other hand, although interference in domestic affairs induces many problems like this, the principle of non-intervention sometimes causes even worse influences.      Sup...

Do students have to pay their own college fees? (Kana Shimamoto and Taisei Hamaguchi)

Image
Have you ever thought about student money? In Japan, the population is declining year by year, resulting in an aging society with fewer children. Fewer people paying taxes and higher social security costs put pressure on the national budget, necessitating cost cutting. So, is it no longer necessary for the government to subsidize college tuition? Should students pay for college? Firstly, In Japan, the age of adulthood will be lowered from 20 to 18 this year. Students become adults when they enter college and must take responsibility for their own. In addition, students will be able to take out loans from the age of 18 accordingly. Therefore, the environment is conducive for students to pay their own college tuition.  Second, Japanese universities are not that expensive compared to other countries. According to data reported to the U.S. News in an annual survey, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2021-2022 school year is $43,775 at private colleges, $28,238 for out-of-stat...

Agree or disagree? To interfere with the affairs of another country - Minori Sato, Kanon Sunayama

Image
These days, Western countries have started economical sanctions on Russia and Belarus because of the Ukraine-Russia War. Is this a good way to solve these issues? First of all, do Individual countries have the right to interfere with the affairs of another country? Some people agree with this, others say no.  First, If countries get involved in the affairs of other countries, especially in the time of war, the affairs will prolong and there is a risk of making the situation even worse. As a result, civilians might suffer for a long time. Additionally, even if the affairs of one country get complicated, for example, the case of North Korea, we don’t know how to be engaged. Sometimes independent decisions may increase the risks and make the situations more dangerous. However, the affairs of another country strongly affect ours. Doing nothing is not the right thing to do for the sake of our country and our peaceful life.  In a globalized world, we are related to each other. For e...
