I am an international student at Rice University major in statistics and psychology. I love traveling, collecting postcards, visiting museums and making friends during the trip. My MBTI (a psychological questionnaire) type is INTP, a personality "marked by a quiet, stoic, modest, and aloof exterior that masks strong creativity and enthusiasm for novel possibilities," which I basically agree.
