'That is interesting! In a way though, I'm not too surprised: people are always different on an individual level, but the general archetype of the INTP is not particularly in line with stereotypical...|||Hmmm... I like the idea, but I wouldn't be too sure this quiz or thread really proves any sort of point. Still fun and worth discussion, though.  Female INTJ  You scored 50 out of 100 masculine...|||I voted No, but not exactly because there is still tons of good in the world. I believe the world is, by nature and majority, bad -- but it doesn't need to be good to warrant my care. For all the...|||Thank you so much for the kind mention, Clyme; the feeling is mutual! I apologise for my tendency to disappear unpredictably; I should really pick up that PM conversation again.  A belated happy...|||Oh, I'm very glad my description was helpful! You don't have to ask permission, you're more than welcome. I hadn't thought about it much, but it'd make sense that Ni may be experienced somewhat...|||Well said, I very much agree with this. I'm not sure why Ni seems so commonly described as inexplicable knowing -- like insight from no discernible source -- when, at least in my experience, there is...|||Good point. I've noticed that there's an overall stereotype for Feelers being more artistic than Thinkers. It seems the basic idea is that art is more value-based while science is more logic-based,...|||Oh gosh. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help noticing your hair looks virtually the same as mine, it's almost scary. I've always joked about my hair perpetually exploding yet in a stylish fashion (for the...|||There is no type that is the most elitist. Individual people are elitist.|||Ah, good thread topic; I've been wanting to say something about this. INTJ stereotypes are odd, because on the one hand we seem to be worshiped for being supremely clever and edgy, and on the other...|||Just the way that the strengths and weaknesses are listed makes it hard for me to take this seriously. I could be wrong, but at a glance this looks like it relies excessively on extrapolations of...|||I'd like to welcome you, as well, and best wishes on building a bond with this person!  That said, I'm surprised everyone seems to be jumping to conclusions here on him liking you; this seems to be...|||Hullo, great to have you here! Glad you've enjoyed your perusal so far, and best wishes on enjoying your participation even more.|||Thank you! Always a pleasure to meet other INTJs.  :laughing: Well, with my prominent bones and habit of wearing black coats, I've been likened to him my fair share of times. It's a comparison I...|||Amazing! I'm so happy for you, and I'd describe my emotional experiences exactly the same way! We really do have a fair amount in common. Only -- I would make the distinction that my circumstances...|||An artificial pumpkin, specifically the Fun-Kin brand. Also buckram fabric coloured black to attach on the inside of the facial openings, and foam for the top of the interior to stabilise the head. I...|||Hullo! I greatly appreciate the welcome and relating, thank you. I also noticed that you are a former user making a return, so welcome to you as well!|||Hullo! Thanks for commenting.  It sounds like we have similar interests, then! Halloween has always appealed to me for the same general reasons; I've just always had a love and gravitation towards...|||Pretty much my thoughts right here. My opinion on any broad group of people is that I can't have an opinion. A group is the same only on one core aspect; other than that, people are all totally...|||I definitely noticed his Te orientation to efficiency as well; it's a very distinct aspect of his character. Also totally agree on his leaning towards S functions. Honestly, I think that ISTJ and...|||There's an interesting tumblr blog that focuses primarily on typing fictional characters based on cognitive functions, and it has the Twelfth Doctor typed as INTJ: Doctor Who: Twelve [INTJ] | Funky...|||This isn't just a Feeler thing; it sounds like you may be hanging out with the wrong kind of people to begin with. Friends who do drugs, get drunk, and go to trashy parties aren't the kind of crowd I...|||I actually thought the exact same thing the moment I read the OP. :laughing:  It's not exactly a waste if you can't convince the person you're debating with, though. I knew that would happen, so I...|||Great question. I'm an INTJ.  For me, there isn't any pattern to who makes the first move, I simply come across people as I go about my life. But I get a subconscious draw to certain people -- a...|||No problem, mate; the apology is appreciated. It sounded a bit like you were making sweeping generalisations of the INTJ type, and they're similar to some stereotypes I imagine a good number of us...|||Welcome! Good to have you join us here in the forum, and I'm sure you'll find plenty of people to chat with and learn from.   YEAH GERMANY! I lived there for three years when I was younger -- in...|||Hey, no worries, I had my first forum experience... last year, I think? I've only been on one forum before joining this one, and I didn't even stay. But there's a first time for everything, right? ...|||Hey, welcome! Good to have you here. It just makes me really glad to know when other people feel greatly benefited from MBTI, because it helped me a lot, too, and I love to see others finding that...|||Hey! No worries about being confused. A lot of people start off that way, but ai.tran.75 is right: the cognitive functions are the real core of MBTI, and it's by understanding those that you can...|||Happy to see this thread; one of my closest and longest lasting friends is an INFP.  Based on types, I would identify our common ground this way: 1. Both introverts; this can potentially be a big...|||Hey, welcome! I'm new here, too; I understand feeling anxious, but no need to be. Great to know you're passionate about learning. I have a very good friend who is an INFP, too.  What do you like to...|||What a lovely greeting! Although...    I was going to ask the same thing. It's not just because of the stereotypes, is it? If not, I'm honestly very curious. Have you had good experiences with...|||I say but yeah often enough, but only for a sense of transition.  I don't really say but um. I've got a fine selection of ah, ahm, well, and (d)uuuuhhhhhh.  Really though, I think...|||I find that when I first learn how to tie something, I need to double-check how it's done on a few occasions, but after that it becomes memorised for me, even for something like ties, which I don't...|||AW MAN YES THANK YOU, the dancing pumpkin man is my favourite gif ever. Have you ever seen the full video? I need more posts before I can include links on the forum, so I just replaced the dots with...|||Wow, thank you! I greatly appreciate the warm and thoughtful welcome. I came to this forum in part to find people I could relate with, as well, and it's wonderful to find that all ready. I'm glad you...|||I agree that INTJs are not master strategists; MBTI is only a framework of thought process, not a measure of intelligence or creativity, and so it ultimately depends on the individual, not the type,...|||Welcome, good to have you here! Exploring other people's types is one of my favourite aspects of MBTI, as well. By the sound of it, you may really enjoy these two websites, if you don't all ready...|||Hullo, good to have you here! I'm the same way about forums; I've only been on one other forum before this, and I left after about a year. It's not exactly my preferred means of communication, but I...|||Hullo, and welcome! I think it's easy to become confused or unsure going off of the tests, especially if they only provide generalised descriptions. It's possible to figure it out from testing alone,...|||Hey, welcome! Good to have you here. I can definitely relate to your position; I was unsure about my type between INTP and INTJ for a while, myself, but as rDaneel made a good point to mention, it's...|||I was going to note the same thing, myself! There seems to be far more N types here than S types in general, and if I'm remembering my observations correctly, the I's also make up the majority over...|||(Yes, there's an intentional joke here.) Well, uh -- hullo! Admittedly, I'm nervous about being on a forum (don't really use them), but I looked around and anticipate good things here. Now to just...'
