'Sorry seems like I rambled too much lol.. maybe off topic idk. I agree with you though,  the way you describe yourself sounds a lot like of how I would describe myself.|||Interesting idea. I try not to think of it as labels. Think of it this way, if everything pointed to mental illness then we're left with saying we are mentally ill. Point is I obsess over many...|||Everything stated of what I believe of each individual perceiving function to be is above.  The common ground of Se and Ne from my understanding is that they're both objective (not subjective in...|||(Deleted)|||I don't see how combining Ti and Ne makes one future oriented when combining Fi or Ti with Se doesn't make you past oriented. It sounds unbalanced to say that. I usually start off with looking at...|||That's exactly what my idea is of Ne and Ni. I just don't see how subjective perceiving functions could be present oriented when they are objective to the outside world.  I simply look at it like...|||Ah I get that idea more clearly now. I didn't think of it that way, but it does fit how I think Ti and Ne at work together in a more descriptive matter with words.|||I don't know about you guys.. but I'm told a lot that I am random with my ideas while having no real practical application to them really. So I guess this would this would mean that I can think of...|||Hmm I've always thought of INTPs as being more non-linear than INTJs. I guess in a sense Ti and Te can be linear as if they seem to not sugar coat everything as F unctions do lol now that's just me...|||Great explanation! The only thing I don't get is why you call F functions non-linear. Elaborate please?   P.S. I can't really fix it now using my iPod Touch :p but thanks and I thank my...|||Time and time again I hear that Extraverted Intuition is a future foresighting cognitive function. Now the question is how can this be when being past OR future oriented is clearly more subjective,...|||Yes I've been working on it. It's strange because I read a poll on the INFP forum (I got the idea from there). And about 88% of the INFPs admitted to having intrusive thoughts. Not saying intrusive...|||I seem to get these intrusive thoughts that seem to plague my mind sometimes. It's just that they're so random and have no logical basis as I want to keep telling myself they're illogical. There are...|||Let's see.. I like to talk about anything Psychological really or I like to argue how so many people are given a misdiagnoses with many mental illnesses. I'm a prime example as a matter of fact, I...|||I like this forum. It sees that that a lot of introverts such as myself love the internet. I may also say I love researching (including stuff on this forum once in a while). I mean on here I'm ABLE...|||I understand that their the same pretty much. I was just wasn't listening to myself.|||I guess I'm highly imaginative as I always have been then, come to think of it I am more imaginative than creative. I just think of a lot of possibilities and assume a lot of times, which can be my...|||I am more of a thinker than a doer too. I get told to stop thinking a lot as I analyze the heck out of every experience I have (it's almost like I can't experience anything). I just think of every...|||Been there. Adult life has altered my imagination as well. Cheers to responsibility! :dry:  I guess I'm more creative IF anything.|||Which one are you more of?  I am more creative (i.e. I play piano and I used to like writing poetry).  I assume for myself that I am more of an idea perfectionist with Ti. Whereas my Ne has a...|||I believe there's relative truth and ultimate truth.|||I do this. I just say hi and return right back to my thoughts lol. I would analyze that kind of situation, but that's just me.|||[deleted]|||I tried this before. Another thing is it was just to place myself in someone else's shoes when tring to meet middle ground from arguing. It never turned out pretty at first, but it tended to find a...|||Unknown.|||That's normal, just explore. I like to explore new atmospheres as the stimulate my thoughts. Nature walks or a peaceful place helps as well!|||Reading (a lot), writing, nature walks, playing piano, listening to music, conversations (being spontaneous with ideas), thinking a lot, analyzing situations (instead of experiencing them), and...|||I love to write as it allows to understand my thoughts clearly. I need to practice more though.  My hobbies actually are:  Reading Nature walks Music Writing Communicating my ideas (usually...|||I would think that assuming has more to do with hypothesizing which is trying to understand something abstract rather than Ti correct me if I'm wrong?   And of course all thinking and feeling...|||Yes that may very well be true. Of course if I were to be professional I would try to be as precise as possible. I guess I can be very much like a thought perfectionist I guess you would say. I...|||I've been told that I think too much or assume things a lot.  I tend to hypothesize and presume with a bases form of judging assuming that this is my (Ti and Ne at work a lot of times). I guess I...|||I should state not ALL INTPs are great at writing at first, it just so happens that when an INTP wants to have a clear understanding writing is a great way to express this.  I for one am not a...|||Lol not just that, we as INTPs tend to have a natural knack of writing I should say. We generally WANT our conceptual thinking and theories to be understood clearly, and writing is one of the...|||That is a double win for me. What I mean by generally by the way means that a lot not really everything. I like to create things with my hands as well (i.e. when I play the piano and create...|||That reminds me, I tend to use the D's a lot of times along with the P's or just a smiley, however it does bother me when someone uses it a lot kind of...especially the D's for some odd reason, I...|||Yup and when I introspect to myself a lot (I introspect A LOT by the way) I come up with scenarios in my mind which may prepare me for these arguments. However most of the time I come up with the...|||From this all I can say is Precision and accuracy is a BIG one for me. Especially with words and ideas lol.. A lot of other points seem to fit me on here as well.  Another one is .....but the...|||95089  Wide awake here, was taken at my gf's place.  95090  More sleepy here lol. I stayed up all night reading my new books from Barnes & Noble and playing a video game or two during this I...|||Yea it can be scary for a lot of people, I've never worked for anyone either YET. Thanks for the warning of the legal market, I'm just trying to understand the downsides of certain careers and such.|||Well let me just say I find the ones you listed interesting, it's not something I would want to necessarily DO. The only two I thought of a lot before in the past and still somewhat do is being a...|||I suppose you could adapt to hands on skills, I'm not that great in hands on stuff in general.    I agree that careers CAN be misleading, which is why I am very weary of what career I want to get...|||I would find a cryptoanalyst interesting, never met one though. I also find being a private detective interesting, along with psychoanalyst as well. I would love to be a linguist, however not as a...|||That sounds like an interesting one! I'm still leaning towards psychology and the music development of video games and/or video game designing as well.    I know I shouldn't worry about labels...|||I could see a lot of ESFJ women in that field probably, I also thought of linguistics, not biology really though.  Lol I was thinking the same thing kind of. Well I did think of doing architecture...|||Hmm seems like your mind is pretty well off occupied.

I wish I could find a career that would allow me to do some teamwork yet...|||Hello! :) What do you do as a mechanical engineer? Also what is required to be one?   A lot of stuff casually interests me too. What would the engagement be may I ask? I tend to suck at mechanical...|||(Removed)|||Well as the title says it all, I'm currently looking for careers. I'm currently looking into heuristic psychology and/or other sciences, I'm thinking of doing something related to computer programing...|||Yea I kind of figured he uses Se and Ni instead of Ne and Si. I for one don't find any common parts of his personality as I do with other fictional characters that I deem more of to be an INTP.  ...|||Yea I could see a good size of INTPs into sports somewhat. I know an INTP girl who has played sports throughout high school as well.'
