'A good and useful point.|||I have a system that I've worked out for myself, but I sincerely question how much value it may offer to someone else.   The idea of it is that you simply have to find the way that you process, or...|||Indeed. Look for patterns and broader level connections and configurations.|||I can tell you the least likely...INTJ. We're the most likely to lay out a scenario convincing one of the other types about why they need to do it, why it's the best plan, and then to give them the...|||You're right to look into all of these roles pull together. I don't know everything about it by a long stretch, but I do keep my eyes open.   Regarding how the project worked out, it was a bit of a...|||The knowledge seat is the one that is most prone to manipulation or to charlatans (people who claim to have a skill/knowledge set but dont). And everyone wants to be a broker--one of the people who...|||I never suggested a necessary contingent of If read a lot==>then==>wise. Only a correlation, but I did state it in if/then logic it could be stated as:  If wise==>then==>reads a lot.   Logically,...|||Not sure what I can offer, but if I can be of use don't hesitate to reach out.|||Be careful with books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It's not bad stuff. Much of it is common investing sense (use cashflow to buy luxury items). But there is an inherent message and theme in those works...|||You do both at the same time. Use your chiro work to develop your reputation, and over time, to give you enough extra income that you're not working 90 hour weeks (common in my business and with a...|||INTJ...there will be too much to type here so I'll try to keep it brief.   1. Keep this simple forumla in mind. Price-Cost=Profit. It's fundamental equation of business. Anything that allows you to...|||Trouble with reading is a really common issue for INTJs. Many come up with ways to overcome it, but few I've really met with thought they had found ways to optimize how they think with reading.

Honey, am I your...|||I don't see this ending well, for you.   There once was a man named lawrence, who didn't like limerence or divulgence. His girl was besotted but his brain was clotted So he answered I love you...|||Excellent point. Though close by letter description, INTP and INFJ are both worlds apart in many ways from INTJ. At least in my anecdotal experience. No better or worse or any hogwash like that....|||No defense of this girl, but it's not hard to understand shy extroversion vs expressive introversion. Especially if you look at with more jungian eyes.   The irresponsibly oversimplified answer is...|||Lawrence =/= limerence. Got it.|||I'd recommend further research into general human behavior, INTJ and MBTI, and the acting business before commenting further. Truly not trying to be an ass, but you're just dead wrong on your comment.|||Wow. And in one swoop you prove that you lack understanding both of human INTJs AND the acting business.|||Absolute puffery. And quackery in terms of your seudo-psychological rigor.  1. If you're so good at typing INTJs, then why do you hold beliefs about INTJs that have no foundation in MBTI--the...|||As politely and simply as I can say this: you have no idea what you're talking about.|||I wish I could dance like Carlton. I would have used that shit for the purposes of sarcasm so many times.|||The danger is using stereotypes to host a witch hunt. It's very hard to sort through their coping mechanisms vs their base personality vs their survival behaviors. They may come into the forum...|||Never heard the words before, but I love it.|||I didn't take it so much as a statement of lack of capability, but more one of optimization of the existing system.|||Hell no. I work on a lot of political strategy at the local, state, and national level. I've been approached to run for different offices at different levels. I have zero interest in being the guy in...|||Others will know more about the specific functions than I do.

George Smiley and Control from Tinker,Tailor, Soldier, Spy.|||@INTJtheDC,   Now you're into the world I love and that both fascinates me and drives me--relative competitive superiority. And I love the picture you are painting.   I would by analyzing each of...|||Really interesting story. And I'm a sucker for case studies.   The chiro angle is an interesting one for multiple reasons, but I have seen that trend of become an extrovert! just buy my seminar!...|||I don't disagree with you about the missed opportunity part, and I agree. I feel like I could have given that talk, or even prepared it for someone to give, I could have done better with it.  ...|||I'll answer both you and @Amaterasu in the same bit.   1. I do a lot of research so information for me isn't characterized by boring or exciting. More like useful or not useful. Few things...|||There's one more thing I forgot to mention. There is an effect that I don't recall the name of, but you may want to poke around for it online. There have been a few studies and a book or two about...|||Mel, I'm not sure I have much to add other than to maybe suggest you think about it in terms of the neuroscience.   Not too deep either. Just a shallow look may have some insight. Feelings of...|||It's interesting. In his USC speech (linked above) he talks about something that he hasn't addressed much before.

Awesome.|||I couldn't care less about any social status connected with labels. That's all hoolahoops and horsesh** as far as I'm concerned.   But language is important in our comprehension of a thing and so I...|||I agree with the I hope so. Classic Munger. He's got that extremely dry and bloody-nose wit. That first video is kind of the same thing--he knows deeply what he things but refuses to say it all,...|||Feel free to agree, disagree, or provide additional examples of wisdom and the INTJ.   I read a lot here from INTJs that wonder how to structure their thoughts in ways that can benefit them--how...|||Certainly not the only reason, but one common reason has to do with the tests at the surface level.   A lot of tests try to make S more about facts, reality, and evidence. Very few INTJs I know...|||Topic: Genocide (modern)  Why: Genocide is a very peculiar type of horror. It is as accidental as a symphony; that is, it is orchestrated and engineered.
