Hello, I am a 15-year-old living in England; I believe Wikipedia is a fruitful resource that more people should take advantage of. I often use Wikipedia articles to improve my knowledge of topics I believe to be interesting. I am highly interested in Linguistics, Personality Systems, the Law and absurdist literature. I would currently say I am highly versed in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Enneagram of Personality, the English Lexicon and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". I hope to help expand Wikipedia, whether this is by performing minor edits or adding content to articles.
