Consciousness studies, brains cut in slices Language, biology, complex devices Books and ideas, my laptop, (beer) Are just a few things that I hold dear.|||Urban Dictionary:   The mental image will never go away :crazy:  Also, how do laser sex eyes work?|||I hate it when SO shaves clean and I'd hate it if he cut his hair. I met him hairy, I got used to him hairy, and I hate it when he stops being hairy. I'm 23.  With other guys, I haven't noticed any...|||Awwwwwwww :laughing:|||I wouldn't. It takes a lot to get me out of bed before 9-10 a.m. :tongue:     1. Balance in life.

I have the impression that I'm way more critical about myself than about other people. Unless they really ride into one of my pet peeves (like sexism) or make my life...|||Yes, more dominant seems like an appropriate way of putting it. The way I understand it, INTPs with strong Fe, still have Ti as their dominant function, their perception of the world is Ti-oriented,...|||To INTPs with strong Fe:  How (why, what for) did you develop your Fe? Did you want to develop it? Did it happen as a result of the environmental influence and upbringing? Did it happen naturally...|||Calling people I know in urgent situations is ok, I guess. The rest is terrifying. I hate talking on the phone. I get sick when I have to arrange something over the phone with strangers.   Awkward...|||This.  I experience somewhat of a split in such situations. The person on the outside - my overgrown Fe - just blurts out the conventional lines, smiles and nods, the person on the inside - my Ti -...|||I know, right? :laughing:|||Lol, boys. Ti at its finest.

Also, if someone does something interesting (that usually concerns artists, philosophers, writers etc.), I'm often curious about the personality behind it. In principle, the more...|||Most probably 6w5 - 9w1 - 3w2 sp/sx. I'm pretty sure of 6w5 - I'm actually a textbook example of that type.|||This. However, let me comment that exploding cherries are a far superior way of dealing with the zombie situation.|||Nah, that's just you... :tongue:|||I hardly ever get bored when alone.
