'I haven't done much research into it (though there really isn't a lot to read as far a I know), but I don't believe in it either. I don't find terms for such differences in humans necessary; this...|||Thanks for the long explanation! As for what brought me here, like I said, I do enjoy theories because they explain why something is true. And I have to know why something is the way it is, even if...|||Thanks for the explanation. I've seen others who identify as INTJ saying they also plan conversations. For me, I guess it's mainly because I just don't know what to say in a lot of social situations....|||I know I've seen it come up quite a bit in autistic communities for treating anxiety, OCD, and depression symptoms. It really depends on the individual. Having struggled with depression myself,...|||I agree, but I don't think all professionals are just giving out medications or anything like that. These treatments have proven to be successful for many people. They're all we've got for now. I...|||Welcome  :)!  Also, to the bold part: I'm exactly the same way.|||You scored 63.333 out of 100 masculine points, 54.167 out of 100 feminine points, and 41.667 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.  Female, INTJ.|||I know the difference between the two. I'm studying neuroscience - specifically, the neurobiological basis of disorders listed in the DSM - and am well aware of what psychiatry entails. But you said:...|||Ah, okay, makes sense!  And agreed! If I get my PhD in Clinical Psychology, I definitely don't plan to do any type of therapy. I guess we have a lot of the same interests. I'm still deciding if I'd...|||I've always heard INTJ and then INTP, but honestly, who knows? With MBTI being so subjective and not even being considered real by psychologists, there really is no true - in the scientific sense -...|||For the part I bolded, I'm not sure what you're saying here. What is true neuroscience and what is true psychiatry? (A reliance on symptoms is kind of the point of psychiatry, isn't it? If you...|||Sadly, I can't analyze his traits too much, because he abandoned my family when I was 10. I'm also autistic - and I believe he is as well, though he was never assessed - so that sometimes makes...|||This is kind of a random fact, but it goes along with genes: everyone with blue eyes is related (they have a common ancestor) because they arose from a genetic mutation. So it would be interesting if...|||That's really interesting! It's a field I'd like to be in too, but only occasionally (so maybe testifying every so often on a client's mental state).  How are you planning on going into the field?...|||My dad's an accountant. I think he's an ISTJ though xD. I loved math from a young age, but I also found accounting boring. Bleh.  I'm 19 and I'm double majoring in psychology & neuroscience. I'm...|||This forum is powered by vBulletin 4. The issues the forum is experiencing has nothing to do with the actual version though, because it's pretty stable and other forums use it as well.|||I'm aware this is a relatively old thread, though it was recently bumped, but I just had to say this.  I'm sorry, but if you think autistic people cannot be typed, then you're sorely mistaken. The...|||Cool! I'll be a freshman at ASU (I wasn't able to start in August due to illness :(). I'm planning on becoming a PhD.|||I'd like to have someone, but at the same time, only if they realize that I'll need my space - and a lot of it.|||I'd like to say I can relate, but if I find it illogical, I can't. I've never really dealt with the death of a loved one; I've only lost pets and that was when I was really young. Nonetheless, when...|||I'm the same way. But, generally, I don't care. I don't care about most people - I only like certain people. If they're really upset, then I'll probably care, but if it's someone I'm not totally...|||Well INTJs get the same stereotypes. We're often thought to be robots. In fact, I often point out when my mother is being emotional (as in too emotional - she's ENFJ, btw) and her response is...|||I'm aware this is an old post, so my post is just for future clarification:   Though I agree there can/could be possible correlations between disorders and MBTI types, as an aspie, I definitely...|||I'd consider him pretty immature... he's almost 20, kind of nerdy, and definitely isn't the type to have ever dated before.    I actually don't consider myself shy either. If anything, I'm quiet,...|||I'm actually considered normal as well. You wouldn't know I have it unless I tell you. :p But I definitely miss a lot of social cues, which is why I know I'm an aspie, regardless if people see it...|||So I've heard INTJs tend to avoid their crushes because they freeze up around them. I wondering just how true this is. I know it's extremely true for me; I freak out when I see him and my heart...'
