I think of myself as having more Fe than other INTPs — do I think I...|||Thank you for your input. You might be right and I'll ponder on that. But I had a particular special method to accelerate the process.  Imagine someone researching all the advice on developing...|||Well, to be honest, I wanted someone to relate with. It's been a few years going around different INTP forums and I've always related to the other INTPs on uncanny levels. But these days — I seem...|||I do this inferior Fe thing better than other INTPs. Long story short : I spent more than an entire year reading about and doing what I can to develop functions. My Fe development accelerated around...|||Haha. When I mean challenge, I find everything that is intellectually fun a challenge — like explaining things. And I really love explaining things. Sorry for the misunderstanding.  You're not...|||If you're INTP and religious, I have two questions for you. Oh boy! Something I can answer.  Let me take on your challenge           Nc0re. Feel free to ask me questions. I promise I'll be a...|||Am I the only five here that relates?  But then again it might have more to do that the rest of my tritype (3 and 9) tends to adapt to what other people view. I had some problems figuring out what...|||It may be possible that many people see themselves as 5s or 4s because they're the most introverted types. And where do you find introverts?

She said to be happy x97 you had to be close to family and friends. I told her I wasn't...|||When I'm bored, my mind starts desperately finding something to analyze. Often with nothing much to do x97 I have this habit of double checking the accuracy of my beliefs and looking back into past...|||Lady Kaizoku Please post what series these characters come from. I can't google them well.  I also added descriptions for people who don't know them.  x97 L (Death note). The best detective in the...|||Probably low temp most of the time. I've always been more of the contemplative withdrawn type.   Though, strangely I can switch to high temp at times. That's how people get misconceptions about me...|||I can feel it when I get too big ass that I know more than someone else. I feel it sometimes when I say a pretty big claim about my knowledge or a radical opinion x97 only for myself to find it false....|||Never. I have a resting slight smile face. It started last year when meditating I felt so damn happy, I never knew such a thing was possible. But only about 20 minutes during the practice. The...|||I've tried singing lessons for a year.

I don't go to those classes, but I still sing ridiculously well Broadway songs from YouTube....|||When I was a child, I was still introverted. Prone to reading books in the library. Dinosaurs?

Or even if you're not one yourself, but know someone who is.  I'm curious.|||I don't really have a problem with explaining things in my head.

In the last week, I've been in a moderately good mood for much of...|||Accepting emotions are done with awareness. How could you accept what you're not aware of?

I keep seeing this kind of communicating in INFP forums sometimes.|||Eh, to me it's a rather natural talent I have throughout life. Though, I had my fair share of having a hard time with it in TiSi loops. For INTPs, they start with the need to learn the truth (Ti) and...|||5: I think I have this bias to assume that I know less than I actually do. My own idea is that there is still so much more I don't know, that other people know so much more and I don't have any good...|||I had to check my resource on enneagram levels of development here for this.

How did you figure out I used Ti-Fe and also Ne in my writing earlier?|||INTP.  Do I like morbid jokes? Well, it's a yes and a no.   Depends on how Ne heavy I am at the moment.
