'I hate bars anyway, but loud bars are the worst.  I can stand classical music concerts, but not much else.  I was once driven out of a classical music concert by the sound of loud music and heavy...|||It's okay, realizing it is half the battle.  And most people are screwed up in some way.  Almost no one has it all together.  Some books I recommend are What Do You Say After You Say Hello,...|||I'm not sure they have any purpose, since we can (I can) neither change them nor even remember them.  If you want to give them a purpose, then I propose this right here, that they are evidence (such...|||Based on my own experience, I believe your fate is NOT fixed but alterable, but based on both my own experience and science, I believe your future has already been written.  Starting with the former,...|||I have a variety of thoughts on this.  A) Rationals are an oddity in a world of feelers, so naturally they are going to seem odd to regular people.  B) Introverts are an oddity in countries where...|||This is five plus years old now but I just discovered it.  And I have to say The Onion almost NEVER makes me laugh.  This has a few cringe-worthy moments, but overall it's pretty darn funny.  ...|||Yes, yes, yes!  I have noticed the same thing, that the women that I have to spend the MOST amount of effort on in a relationship end up being the ones who break up with me, while the ones that I...|||I laughed my ass off at this pic for the longest time.  My gf at the time didn't get it.  I honestly cannot tell you why I think/thought it was so hilarious, but I did.  I couldn't find it on-line...|||I would argue JFK was not an INTJ for the simple reason that he disliked thinking and emphasized action.  JFK feared and was suspicious of what he called eggheads, very bright people.  Arthur...|||I have, but I only took pictures of birds, landscapes, and inanimate objects like buildings and cars.  Never tried it with people.  I managed to get about half a dozen good pictures out of thousands...|||Oh, gawd, yes, I hate that with a passion.  And these people who have to have a TV running all day long, no matter what program is on, just to have some kind of background noise.  When you ask them,...|||Okay, I have the mother dying thread saved in four pages.  I know who you are now, the rabbit with the pope hat.  If I get around to it, I'll try saving some of the other stuff.  Send me your e-mail...|||Okay, let me throw my two cents in here since I am still a member in good standing on INTJ Forum.  My view is just the opposite of the OP's: that political debate has been squelched there for a while...|||Having read a great number of your posts, Vinnie, you should probably get a mod warning from God.  I've been banned from Facebook for not using my real name.  At least I THINK that's why I was...|||I've mentioned this before, I met a female mirror image of myself in a chatroom once.  We were delighted at first, but then realized we both needed to be in charge of the relationship and broke it...|||I'm with Nephandus on this one, dogs are inherently untrustworthy, particularly other people's dogs.  The only exception I'm aware of is/are basset hounds.  You can trust 99.9% of all basset hounds...|||I think my 1 a.m. jaunts are about equally divided between actual strolls and going for a drive.  Thing is, no one is invited, so I'm not sure how that would work in the theme park, unless it's a...|||But then how would you post on PerC?  :wink:|||That is the most vulgar piece of shit I've ever heard.  This is what passes for music among blacks today?  Louis Armstrong must be spinning in his grave.  Paul Robeson, too.  Clearly I'm not INFJ...|||What Do You Say After You Say Hello? by Dr. Eric Berne.  It changed my life and made me realize that my life can be changed.|||Ummmm...  no.  Don't have this problem.  Crowded hallways, yes, God help me.  I'll go around the freaking building to get to the other side to avoid a crowded hallway.  But one person in a hallway? ...|||A+ for that one ^^^^.  I laughed multiple times.|||https://www.truity.com/test/personality-type-love-match  Note: Retaking it gave me very different results, so who knows.|||Hint: When he's acting, he's overacting.  When he's not overacting, he's being straight.|||MBTI.  From what I have seen of INTP's, they really aren't into the world domination thing.  I don't know anything about the socionics version.  I took this from the web, but my INTP nephew and I had...|||You'll have to be more specific.  Disproportionate in what way?  Who left?  What result?  Why did you expect an explanation?  Has anything ever been explained to you about why it happened?  I'd be...|||Asking as both an unbeliever and former believer, isn't that what happens when you don't believe in God, that there is no meaning to life, that you're here merely to eat, drink, shit, fuck, and die? ...|||You're a horrible person if you don't like Bach AND Escher.  (For what it's worth, I hate fugues.)|||First off, spiders are not insects.  Spiders are arachnids, and except for a very few (unless you live in Australia), they are beneficial to humans.  Second, it doesn't pay to be kind to insects...|||Not sure how I feel about group brainstorming, but I know the evidence says group brainstorming is less effective and less productive than individual brainstorming and then coming together to discuss...|||I can agree with that, too.  I hate jazz, love classical.  But if you're just stating what's on your mind right now, that's not thinking at all.  That's just talking out of your hat.  Hence my...|||I kind of agree with you here.  Introverted people have to have an extroverted persona to interact with the outside world, while extroverts don't (necessarily) have to have any introverted persona in...|||Hello, all.  I took that MBTI matching test the other day and according to that, my best match would be an ESFJ.  Who knew?  So I'm stopping by to say hello.  Any single, attractive ESFJ ladies...|||While I agree with you in principle that there isn't just one person out there that is right for you, that there are thousands or perhaps millions of people who would fit each person's basic criteria...|||Interesting.  I would be willing to be in a relationship with someone who wasn't the one if it was relatively pleasant.  I have broken up with a woman (not many relationships in my life) for not...|||This is how law school was for me.  I'd come to an instant conclusion based on the relevant data and cases, but the professors weren't interested in my conclusion, only my arguments.  I felt like...|||I'm both of these, so not exactly opposite ends of the spectrum, but I'm working on it.  According to Kevin Leman in The First-Born Advantage, talking about first-borns rather than INTJ's, the reason...|||Isn't that how all INTJ's look?  I agree with the previous post, a manipulative INTJ would look friendly.  If you're not of the opposite sex and an INTJ smiles at you, RUN.|||In my best relationship (didn't get married for various reasons), we were very sympatico, there wouldn't have been any need for her to adapt to my views on anything.  I think you're missing out on...|||I didn't think so, but I've had two experiences that make me wonder.  One, watching The Mask, in which Jim Carrey suggests that reading comic books and watching cartoons as an adult makes you a...|||This is essentially what I was going to say.  Seriously, though, I have a good idea of what kinds of errors I make, like I don't remember names and faces, but I do remember conversations, so if you...|||It became easier to understand and appreciate myself mainly.  I used to think I was the only one like me, and therefore there was something wrong with me.  It's still a relief to go back and re-read...|||I don't know you, but I'm guessing this was dripping with sarcasm.|||He was probably referring to this: I'm not going to define anything and I dislike, when people ask to define obvious things (not this one, just talking in general way). Seriosly people, is it hard...|||As a former Christian, yes, I can tell you a better way...  Get an evil look on your face, rub your hands together gleefully, and say something like, I'm a Satanist, I've always wanted to convert...|||I've been feeling particularly unloved today/yesterday, so this thread was a blessing, even if it wasn't aimed at me in particular.|||Former believer, now atheist.  I came to the conclusion, through trying to prove that God exists logically, that God, at least the God we in the West imagine, could not possibly exist.  I could not...|||First sentence, no, he pushed her away, and INTJ's aren't known for playing relationship games like that.  Last sentence, could work, but could backfire if he's not ready to give an answer.  He may...|||Bumping this up for wiser heads than mine...  Hard to judge from this distance and the limited amount of information, but here's my advice: Start looking around for someone else in an oh, well, I...|||Depends on whether you like dry sarcastic humor or not.  Once in a while you'll find a non-INTJ who appreciates it, but it's rare.'
