Only three? :wink:|||And you look too thin?  My good man, I'm 5'8 and three quarters inches, and weigh 113 pounds. What sort of people are you hanging around?|||It's a pleasurable experience.  It makes me feel a little more emotional for some reason, which is good because I am normally very estranged from my emotions.  It's quite fascinating really....|||It can be nice to listen to music in a language you do not understand, but you can appreciate the sound of the lyrics without being distracted or burdened by their meaning (or lack there of).|||I've realized that my fashion preferences sometimes make me look like a shady ringmaster.|||Ah, well, I was looking at a regular enneagram when I thought of this, not the irregular enneagram that is the traditional symbol of the system. The only thing that bothers me is that I'm not sure if...|||Looking at this from a mathematical/geometric viewpoint, something catches my eye. In theory, there should be a fourth set of triads.  1,4,7 2,5,8 3,6,9.|||This means he handes it horribly. :tongue:|||If ask me, that's something INTPs do too. :laughing: But maybe you meant taking aparting some kind of thing in particular.|||Would depend on who it's coming from and the situation around me.  If it comes from someone I don't care about, but have to work with, I usually compose myself very well and do not sink to the...|||Naturally, I may not agree that my argument has been obliterated. :proud: But supposing I realize that something I've been defending is proven wrong, my responses usually goes like this:  I tend...|||I think J/P is the most misunderstood dichotomy in the MBTI.|||Compared to so many of the people here, I don't have much to say for my abilities. I have fun with art sometimes, though.  http://mbti.spampudding.com/image.php?u=40&dateline=1216744141|||16/9 = 1.77777777777...  Ruh roh.  The two systems are at once structured very differently and concern themselves with different aspects of personality. As such, I don't know if there's an...|||They are an escape from monotony and the horrors of my own personality.|||I have a harder time paying attention to discussions that aren't like that.|||I actually think about clothing in probably an unusual amount for a heterosexual man. I know what clothes I think look good, and I like to wear and own those clothes. However, my standards seem to...|||All aspects of the MBTI are subject to change according to circumstance. In theory, the MBTI is supposed to peg you by an average preference, the way you prefer to operate when all things are...|||Welcome. I can trust that you'll add some thought provoking discussion.|||I configured my settings so that it automatically subscribes to any thread that I've posted in, but explicitly set it to not send me E-mail notifications of new posts. I keep checking, and it still...|||For what's worth, I think most of the INTPs at INTPc are jackasses and hard for me to relate to as well. I didn't take that to be proof that I'm not INTP, though. I actually have to wonder how many...|||I'm not sure that it's the whole reason, but the most dead simple answer I can give is that the two types have very simiar processes.  Ti-Se Ti-Ne.  Identical dominant processes, you see.|||Naturally. The way others perceive is a crucial part of ones means to their ends.|||Just casual, they are to my taste. But it so happens that they are marching boots and I do walk many miles a week, so I suppose it works out.|||I basically have these, only a little different.  http://semiskimmed.net/misc/overyjackboots.jpg  Those are about the coolest footwear I currently own.|||I exercise,  but I don't do it as regularly as I used to. I now do long walking about 5 times a week and then push-ups and sit-ups on the weekends.  I sadly almost never get to play any sports, but...|||Snail gave the matter-of-fact answers, I suppose.|||That doesn't explain much, but does sound like an insult.      Pretentious how?   Ambiguous, absolutely not, I was quite specific and precise. I laid it out as systematically as I could, just...|||No.    You're wrong, and I'll get to this at the end of the post.    I see you're a man very hung up on pedantic terminology. To make this clear, I have never, at any point, being using, or...|||I'm not great with handling emotions in general, but I am almost cetainly less tolerant of my own than of others'. I ridicule my own emotions, even why I'm alone. If I actually show significant...|||I was using temperament in a very specific sense, like refering to Kiersey's system.     I don't see the inconsistency in what I said. Perhaps you misinterpreted me. The type most similar to...|||Rather than write a drawn-out response, I'll simply say that it would be difficult for me to bridge the gap between your statements and mine, as I do not subscribe to the temperament theories at all.|||Sociology.|||Well, in a sense, any functional type (NT, NF, ST, SF) is more about equally similar to all other types of the same functions (INTP is equally similar to ENTP, INTJ, and ENTJ) because they all have...|||ENTP, as a matter of fact.|||I have no problem interacting with any females, even ones I'm romantically attracted to. However, I am unfortunately almost incapable of expressing interest. :frustrating:|||INTP. 1w2 supposedly (I don't care much for the wings).|||INTP was my first test result.

What am I missing?|||So it is often said. I, however, am a Ti-dom 1.|||I wear dress shoes or boots (usually black and leather in either case). Because I hate laces, most of them are laceless.  It is a small goal of mine to eventually get knee-high, front hardened...|||I believe the dominant Si makes ISFJ and ISTJ rather insular in their interests. They adopt certain things early on, and it sticks with them and they stick with it, and foster those things in spite...|||I have more in common with 4s than a number of the other types, but I still have the hardest time understanding them. I feel like I cannot dissect their minds, nor come up with a plan for satisfying...|||Building civilizations and terraforming.|||I can play and do play music, as in I am an instrumentalist.  I do not utilize music for background purposes much at all. I pay intensive attention to music to try and absorb it. If I'm not doing...|||Simple.  I am an exceedingly Yin individual (as in the Taoist idea)  I contemplate a great deal about praxis (as in the process).  So I put the two together, and liked how it sounded similar to...
