'I'm 6w5. I think that INTPs are generally 9, 5, or 6, and less often 4, 7, or 1, and rarely the others. The thought of an INTP 2 just makes my brain hurt, although I have nothing against someone...|||I'm actually working towards an MFA in creative writing with an emphasis in poetry right now, and so if writing poetry is un-INTP, then I'm uber-un-INTP.  Coming up with a first draft exercises Ne,...|||Why tell the world in four letters what I could tell them in one:  http://www.animecorporation.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/death_note_05.png|||I'm socially permissive and economically ambivalent.  To put my political views in Brave New World terms: I want to live in a nanny state with free sex, free nonlethal drugs, and the social...|||Problem: I am relatively new in a city, and I would like some new friends. Alas, I am an INTP, which carries with it not only difficulty in initiating conversations with strangers but also difficulty...|||I love beginnings, but not for their own sake. I love beginnings when my present situation isn't meeting my rather strange needs. I need constant novelty, challenge, something to aspire to, and...|||I don't know how INTP this list is... except that an INTP (me) liked everything it contains:  The Brothers Karamazov- Dostoevsky Demian- Hesse Walden- Thoreau White Noise- DeLillo The Tao of...|||I don't think about it in a super-idealized way that a couple friends of mine think about it. I don't think that there is one perfect person for everybody. I don't think that there necessarily has to...|||There's a really screwed up dynamic going on involving my mood/energy level. I'm usually tired/lethargic/needing to withdraw, but at the same time I require a lot of stimulation lest I get restless...|||Start practicing initiating conversations with strangers who aren't attractive girls. Talk to elderly people, to the cashier at the supermarket, to the guy in the elevator, and so on.  If some...|||The Floating Opera- John Barth Understanding the Enneagram- Riso and Hudson Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind- Shunryu Suzuki Vice (New and Selected Poems) - Ai The Dream Songs - John Berryman Scott...|||That's how I try to treat my friends. If I disagree with someone, I almost never say, You're wrong. I ask them more about their position and bring up my objections in the form of questions like...|||Team Fortress 2 is the best MMO ever made.  But seriously, maybe you could check out Rusty Hearts. It's free, I'm pretty sure, and so even if it gets boring kinda quickly then you only feel like...|||Maybe you should take a look at the cognitive functions. Do you relate more to Ti-Ne or Ni-Te?|||Six can have anxiety bad. However, for sixes, it could just be anxiety about everything. Sixes could seek out social structures in order to ease their anxiety about everything else. Sixes can be...|||I could totally be the smartest, bravest, most cunning Hufflepuff.  ...although that attitude is a Slytherin one.  That takes care of that.|||Why are we hard to read?  We're chameleons.|||But could you design robots who could heckle movies that are stupid?  http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7Lstl2ElJneBSWG1CEvWHN-3oY6HwC_VA_Rt4sNEftTPkn2tDa0GlteNAVQ|||Does reading a poem you wrote count? Because I can do that.  I can assure you that it wouldn't be as lame as it sounds.|||In the overwhelming number of cases, my friendships were initiated by the other person (although once I got in with a particular group that changed a little). I even had one of my now best friends...|||I think I first realized it in first grade. I didn't view myself as smart. I just viewed everyone else as dumb. I remember during the spelling part of class, when the teacher asked a student to spell...|||I'm quite neurotic and internally emotionally reactive. What has helped me (at least what I think has helped me) has been to experience the emotion as a physical event. I realize that on some level,...|||At this stage I think my guts turning to jello is as much the awkwardness and anxiety as it is attraction, but I'll describe it anyway:  We're in a graduate literature course, and so it is fairly...|||I totally asked a girl to a sort-of date recently. She said yes initially, gave me her email, and then cancelled through email.  I think I went about it all wrong, though. It was only the second...|||Not all INTPs go off in the deep end on every INTP stereotype. I feel that any type that neglected balance entirely and merely overplayed their stereotypically negative traits would run into trouble...|||I am told I remind people of Michael Cera all the time (hence the Scott Pilgrim picture). It even follows into posture, facial expression, and voice inflection sometimes.  I've never been told I...|||I have a couple of other ones, but I couldn't figure out how to get them up.  ...that's what she said? ...|||Stuff I'd go back in time to tell myself:  1. Instead of thinking to yourself constantly, observe other people closely: their subtle facial expressions, body language, and vocal pitch can give you...|||I dislike The Loyalist strongly. Out of all the 6 titles I've seen, I like The Questioner. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a description call us questioners, but I think it fits how I view...|||I graduated with a BA in English/literature (minored in philosophy). I'm about to start an MFA in Creative Writing (Poetry).  I feel like the odd NT out, but maybe I'm not so strange. I didn't...|||My best male friend is an INFP, but his N and F are only moderately expressed. Most of the time, my Ne-Fe loop makes me look more gushy and emotional when the two of us are conversing. (The Fe only...|||Malevolent Iridescent Perpendicular Grandiloquent Cacophonous Pentameter Ambivalent Ablutions Loquacious Reckless|||Thinking that you've lost your thinking is probably also causing you some trouble, perhaps. I know that I get into a loop sometimes in which I'll tell myself something about myself that may or may...|||Sometimes (not very often) I'll listen to some instrumental music (God is an Astronaut, usually), turn off the lights, and get in bed and imagine landscapes or a single person feeling whatever the...|||As much as I would like to be True Neutral, I usually end up making decisions that are Lawful/Neutral Good. (Damn my somewhat developed Fe.)  Oh, and Wizard Wizard Wizard, preferably with a...|||Think up two random words.  1. Walrus 2. Warship  Try to find as many connections/relations/similarities between the two things as you can.  1. They start with Wa... 2. They can both...|||I was waiting for someone to say Adventure Time. It's the most wonderful whacktastical wollop of whimsy I've ever watched. I think that I have a crazy sense of humor, but when I watch Adventure Time,...|||I've definitely been in situations where some guru tried to give me unwanted music advice when I was either rehearsing with my drummer, or recording a demo, or just wanting to jam. A whole lot of...|||I'm closest to being an ENTP. I rely on Ne heavily, but I just don't quite have the energy level. I'm also kinda leaning towards ambiversion.  When I first took online MBTI tests when I was 16, I...|||I get along really well with my ISTJ parents and ESFJ sister (who routinely comes up with witty comebacks and is just a silly blast to hang out with).  I've also been able to connect fairly well...|||I'm only 23, but I'd say that I'm fairly happy.  The main cause of unhappiness right now is not having a stable job that I like.  I'm substitute teaching right now, and even though I can luck out...|||The most effective stress relievers: playing the electric guitar, sleeping, exercising, meditating, and forcing myself to look in a mirror and smile (roughly in that order, from most effective to...|||I've only somewhat recently begun the habit of marking what I'm reading, and it has been the greatest help in keeping my mind from wandering.  I view the initial reading as basically a scouring for...|||I'm wondering if INTPs have any interesting reading habits.  Do you read multiple books at the same time?  If so, do you try and balance the kinds of books that you read (between technical and...|||I'd probably write letters to everyone that I loved for a couple hours.  Then, if I couldn't find someone to sleep with me, I guess I would wander about outside and see as much stuff (nature,...|||Took out a whole bunch of loans and went to a private religious university to obtain a Bachelor's degree in English and philosophy.  :sad:|||I'm calling bullshit.  Also from the website:    INTPs are usually tolerant, honest, and sincere for the most part.  We're concerned with truth, which generally translates into honesty and...|||Having really thought-provoking, one-on-one conversations in which my conversational partner and I come to a better understanding of each other, ourselves, and life in general.
