'1. ENTJs - Without fail my favorite people.  2. ISTJs   3. ENTP|||Pretty much. And I have no idea. I'd prefer not to think about that, actually.  Besides her, I've met INTPs of varying intelligence. She's just the bottom of the barrel. Most INTPs have at least a...|||The only thing this INTP apparently expends her minimal intelligence on is her online community of friends that talks about some anime. That seems to be the only thing she cares about. She wasn't...|||I know plenty of INTPs that are not very smart. One in particular is painfully dull. I had the misfortune of having to work with her on a project. Let's see: irresponsible, incapable of actually...|||Well, I'm very good at math and science. But I also am a classically trained singer, a pretty good writer (if I do say so myself) and I'm going to specialize in cognitive science research which is...|||With my ISTJ best friend we usually play video games, watch youtube videos, cook and talk. With my ENTJ best friend, and my INTJ and ENTP friends I usually just have deep meaningful conversation with...|||Well, I can sometimes get good conversations out of INTPs. But it usually ends in frustration on my part.  I really have trouble with female INTPs. Because I'm mistakenly civil with them and they...|||No.  G-d may or may not exist. And even if G-d does exist there is nothing to say that any one story about G-d may be true. I am open to all possibilities.   But that really has no bearing on how...|||My mother is an ISFJ. My father is an ISFP. There was no real collision in my family and I was hardly a rebellious child. My parents have always been very loving and very accepting of me and my...|||Well, you seem to have other problems with your INTJ, but I do have a comment about this. I ask my ENTJ SO similar questions now and then. When he says I like you or I love you or You're...|||I'm going to be honest. You probably won't be able to do anything for your friend. If he really is an INTJ then the only thing that really works on him is internal motivation. You, being an external...|||Need.  My social needs are fulfilled by about an hour or two of social interaction a week. I usually get far more than that and it exhausts me. Just standing in a crowded space is draining and...|||I spend my free time orchestrating complex scenarios designed to destroy individuals and force them to either fail or better themselves. Such scenarios involve murder, torture, numerous types of...|||I am generally in the middle, or as I would term it content. True happiness is a new concept for me, but I've begun experiencing it more regularly thanks to my SO. I am occasionally sad and enjoy...|||Writer, Orthodontist, Opera Singer, Cognitive Scientist...|||I did have toys but I don't remember how much I played with them. (I know I did, I just don't remember doing it.) And while I do love building things with blocks and the like, I mostly spent my time...|||John Adams (INTJ) is my favorite.  I do really like TR, crazy ESTP that he was. I don't agree with everything he did, but he was a really awesome person.|||Well, since in high school I had to be there anyway, I just paid attention in class and did as much work as possible in school so that I could do my own thing outside of class. I mean, why take...|||Personal Opinion Warning: It has nothing to do with difficulty. Getting an English major is plenty of work. However, I personally don't need a four year program to teach me to write and I think most...|||I'm an INTJ writer, though I would never waste the time or money on a degree.  I've written some poetry, but I mostly write prose. I tend toward, long works and my pieces are very character...|||I cannot speak for your brother, but I find personal discussions tedious. Like others have said, I feel most connected to someone when I talk about my interests as you term it. I also assume that...|||It is very necessary to talk about feelings in a romantic relationship. It is very difficult to have a long term, functioning relationship if you don't. They don't necessarily need to be long drawn...|||At home or at my university I do occasionally smile at people, nod at them or at least make eye contact when I'm not too lost in thought. I'm currently studying abroad in Israel and have been warned...|||One of my best friends is an ISTJ. She's practically my adopted sister. I don't find her boring at all.  ISTJs generally make good friends and terrifying choir directors. So, no. Not boring.|||Where exactly do you get that she is immature?  Also, does this mean you think an INTJ male would be completely comfortable with a girl coming up to him and asking him out for coffee?|||First of all, she isn't labeling these guys; I am. And to be fair I'm doing it based on second hand information that  I get from her because we don't go to the same school and are currently living in...|||I would suggest telling him this. Honesty is really important in any relationship. Let him know you want to get to know him better and that you want to take whatever's going on between you slowly. If...|||Sex is not really the main goal in what she's after. That's a side benefit. What she's after is an interesting person with whom she can share deep, meaningful conversations. That is the most...|||I'm not reading through 100 pages, so I'm going to ask my question and if it's already been answered I'm sure someone will direct to me to the answer.  My ENTJ best friend has her heart set on...|||You're correct in that they use parts of virtue theory, my complaint with those is the concept of right and wrong that they employ. Virtue Theory predates those concepts and that's part of why I...|||I disagree with the OP's conclusions.  I personally reject the western Utilitarian/Kantian/Christian views of right and wrong and morality in general. For all the certain aspects of it are clearly...|||I very much agree with the consensus of INTJs. I don't understand the point of dating for fun. If you're going to put the kind of effort into a relationship that a relationship really needs, then why...|||But at the same time you're apparently supposed to let them know you're capable, somehow, without seeming arrogant. Otherwise how will they know you're any good at what you do. You have to tell them,...|||Learning is how we gain mastery over the world, but more importantly as an INTJ everything I learn (as long as I consider it valuable) gets added into my greater understanding of the patterns that...|||I have this problem as well, it's why I try not to talk about myself when engaging in small talk. (It's just as hard to write a resume, actually. Since the point of a resume is basically to lie about...|||...I can't see how there would be a correlation between being interested in psychology and getting stoned regardless of one's type.   If you're trying to figure out if this person is an INTJ it...|||It has less to do with gender and more to do with type. SJs are painful to talk to regardless of their gender. Other types are less so, but mostly because SJs are the ones who think small talk is...|||I agree that it's best to let the other person do all the talking.  When that isn't an option I default to talking about my siblings. I have four of them so there's plenty of things I can talk...|||So, as INTJs small talk is obviously the bane of our existence.  However sometimes you just can't escape a situation where you're forced to make inane conversation with a distant relative or a...|||You might be an INTJ if you saw the degradation of this thread coming a mile away even before the first off-topic post came up.|||Emotions are difficult things for INTJs. It may take her a long time to process what she feels about having a relationship with you especially since she recently got out of a long term relationship...|||You might be an INTJ if people who don't know you very well think you're a good, kind hearted soul who is just a little shy, but the people who do know you well are convinced you're plotting world...|||I agree with everyone in that you need to set aside time for yourself, but that doesn't necessarily need to involve taking the train or driving for hours if that doesn't work for you. You should...|||It depends on the person and their type. You can sometimes tell just by looking at someone. (The way they dress, how they move and even their body types can be important clues. For example, in...|||Not for my partner. We almost never actually end up going places because we spend most of our time just sitting and talking together for hours. He (an ENTJ) is a lot more sociable than I am, though,...|||I would suggest asking the professor what he/she meant in the syllabus. Be direct. You can even send an email if being direct to authority figure bothers you somehow. Ask about structure and format...|||That is definitely synesthesia. Of course it seems quite normal to your experience, so I imagine that initially it would be weird to label it as something unique.  There was a study done on a...|||While I've been studying abroad for school, I have had about zero physical contact with anyone. I only started to be aware of this fact about three and a half months in.   I've read the literature...|||At my university a few years ago. We have a cognitive science undergraduate research conference every spring and that year we had experimental psychologist and cognitive scientist Edward M. Hubbard...|||I do not have any type of synesthesia, however I have studied it and had a chance to hear a lecture by one of the leaders in the field. That was one of the coolest lectures ever, by the way.  For...'
