'^I had to search that image because it looks so much like somewhere I've been.|||I wonder if The Thinker has become more popular than The Architect because, with the latter, casual learners stumbling into Myers-Briggs immediately picture someone who designs physical...|||I can only speak for myself, remember. But...   What are you guys like in healthy relationships?  Surprisingly connected. Some of us (read: me) really like being interdependent with someone,...|||I really like what Mindbot said.   Also, it strikes me that the elderly man looks not only pensive but troubled by whatever he's contemplating. And then I notice that although he's aging and the...|||Dear ENTJ,  You're amazing. I'm in awe of how much you accomplish. You are The Master. Seriously.  But in this particular area, with this one task you've assigned me...I'm kinda The Master. At...|||That's definitely the place to do something distracting! :wink:|||First of all, here's what I actually said in its entirety, as a refresher:  None of this sounds like specifically INTP behavior to me. It sounds  like inconsistent, uncommitted, emotionally...|||Er, no. What would make you think that? We're having a discussion here about how NT women experience online dating. You offered a conjecture about how you thought NT women might experience it. I...|||Nope. Seeing it as it is.|||Ha! I remember that stuff! Everyone else I knew thought it was really gross, so I used to make up these elaborate scavenger hunts for my friends and family, and sometimes (not all the time since I...|||Wow. Your words are so moving. Those last two lines especially hit me hard. I keep wanting to say I'm sorry for your loss even though that's not exactly the appropriate thing to say. I'm just sorry.|||On first meeting, INFJs always strike me as beautiful people. They carry themselves with a quiet confidence and have this air of self-contained warmth and personal magnetism. They're not overpowering...|||There's another reason that INTP females can seem to have an especially developed fourth function that I haven't seen mentioned yet on this thread. Ne is the first function we extrovert, but it's not...|||marygold, none of this sounds like specifically INTP behavior to me. It sounds like inconsistent, uncommitted, emotionally unavailable guy behavior. It may even be narcissistic behavior. (Ever heard...|||Haha, nope! Can't study or work while listening to music, either. Too distracting. Well, that is, unless I listen to something monotonous that I can tune out. But then what would be the point of...|||I got The Journalist, which is amusingly close to my own line of work. But I found the test to be biased toward a Te-Fi axis thinking style, and I also found the wording suspect.   For instance,...|||Where can we find the video Young Money Having a Seizure? Do you have a YouTube account? Then we could perhaps analyze your choreographed performance and compare it with the involuntary movement of...|||I agree with those who believe you can't separate a good or bad life from the people in it and that you can't rely on a sample size of two.  Personally, I think Myers-Briggs temperament is innate....|||Personally, I really don't. I find that the intuitive men that approach me online (or that I approach) are most definitely intuitives. Or, at least, they walk the walk.    Trust me, it doesn't...|||I second the kudos for OKC. Not only is it one of the few well populated dating services that's free, but its matching system is unparalleled. I'm convinced its algorithms are informed by...|||INTP Female  I had a wide range of toys when I was a kid--stuffed animals, dolls of all kinds (baby dolls, porcelain dolls, Barbie dolls, etc.), My Little Ponies and other brands of horsey...|||I'm really surprised at all the finger-pointing at IxTJs! The ISTJs I know tend to come across as stiff but polite, even overly so. But grumpy isn't a word I would use. The INTJs I've known didn't...|||Team sports.  Housework.  Noticing when the house needs work. Putting things together. Real, physical things. I fear that.|||Yo, it's too freakin' quiet up in here! Let's get this party staaaaaaaaarted!  OMG, how can you sit in front of that computer all day? You've gotta get out of the house and live a little! YOLO!...|||My mom and best friend since childhood are both ISFJ, so you could say I've got a lifetime of experience to draw on. ;)|||In my experience, it's hard to get to know an ISFJ well because they're private--almost as private as we are. In public, they'll be pleasant but reserved, and you have to do quite a bit of digging...|||How do I deal with my emotions? Not always well. The effect of inferior Fe is that I don't necessarily know what I feel immediately and have to reflect on it in private. I'm also prone to inferior...|||Thank you for this. I'm one of those conflict-avoidant types who misinterpreted the above as the xNTJ 'enjoying conflict,' 'needing to argue,' or 'having to have things their way or the...|||This is the most disturbing thing I've seen lately, on multiple levels, although the trailer does nothing to show why:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHi10Bi8J6g|||Oh, they absolutely date me. For five minutes. ;) But I'm beyond the point of wanting to date just to date.|||We INTPs marginalize your Ti? But...but...we love Ti! That's our bread and butter. :) Would you mind explaining further what you mean by an INTP marginalizing your Ti?|||Yeah, I get that. Basically, your Ti and Fe are battling it out (like always for an INTP). Your Ti doesn't want to listen to this crap, but your Fe is making you worry about what the other person...|||^I really, really wanted that movie to be so much better than it was.|||@nautilus_5 , I kind of hate to waste any more mental energy on her. :wink:  If you're really interested, this is the episode that convinced me:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxuBxAtRE7M ...|||@Prada , I love having an NF to balance me out, as a matter of fact. INFP or INFJ would be my first choice. But they don't want me, and from the feedback I've gotten, that seems to be because I don't...|||I'm aware of the history.     So yeah, a sizable impact.  But it should say something about modern Japanese that in my attempts to get a google translate parallel between the Japanese and...|||The Devil Wears Prada  I can't believe I stop and watch a few minutes of that almost every time I come across it. What is wrong with me? :rolleyes:|||But, for clarification, wouldn't you say that English has borrowed much more heavily from French than Japanese has from the Chinese dialects or vice versa? Lots of geographically proximate languages...|||Not me, but I definitely cared that it was Superbloodmoon Sunday. :cool:|||Ok, I see what you're saying. Does it make you uncomfortable to let them know you're uncomfortable because it feels like an admission of weakness or because you don't want to upset them?   By the...|||I can easily see how she would come across as an xSTJ to someone who had limited knowledge of her. Unfortunately, I've had to watch enough of her to gain, er, a deeper knowledge. Still, I wasn't...|||1. Yes.  2. I think it's an INxx thing. INFs seem to experience the random confession phenomenon even more often than INTs do, although INFs seem more comfortable with the eventual reciprocation...|||If you're an NT, what emotional needs do you have in a relationship?   I agree with those who say that the intellectual gets conflated with the emotional for us. If someone can be my mindmate, then...|||I voted for Both Equally because I have high ideals and will first work to achieve them, but if there's no possibility of reaching the goal, then I will compromise and choose the next best thing....|||This is interesting. It reminds me of how, as a writer, if I tell anyone about what I'm working on before I finish it, it's like I've already told the story, so I no longer feel the urge to write it...|||Exercise  1. Describe a typical week of exercise. I don't enjoy exercise and never did it before I had to. Now I stretch, walk 30 minutes a day, and lift some light weights.  2. Where do you...|||I suspect this is the book he's writing.|||What you describe sounds to me like inferior Fe. When something manages to trigger our Fe, some of us can get really emotional. Sometimes that emotion is rage. Have you looked into Enneagram...|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VVp-tKqFNY|||Mmmm...probably not. There is no such diagnosis as clinical psychopathy, by the way. There are, however, personality disorders, and what laymen call psychopaths usually get diagnosed with one of...'
