'San Francisco, the City, the City by the Bay, and the Paris of the West.|||I think you're onto something, especially in regards to the link to the solid world. I remember I was talking to a sensor colleague of mine about my complete disinterest in traveling and she was...|||The obvious issue is that people might pick a turtle for reasons totally unrelated to their personality.|||People take feelings far too seriously, and it's straitjacketing when this newfound focus on emotions was intended to be liberating. I hear people liken hurt feelings to physical harm and I have to...|||This is my biggest problem. Most INTJ characters in fiction seem to fit an over-idealized type that is perfectly rational and knowledgeable. INTJ villains tend to be the worst kinds of villains...|||I've always been fairly popular in most contexts despite being heavily introverted. As long as people perceive you as approachable and you leverage your social energy well, you can make friends. ...|||The functional stack is more about what you are naturally inclined to use than what you are good at. This is important to note because people can develop different talents based on what is supported...|||Worthless, no. Demanding maturity and discipline beyond a typical 18-year old to ensure a good outcome from it, yes.    I earned my Bachelor's in Physics, and one of the hardest things that I had...|||I was born in '91, but got video games in '01 and a computer in '04. I only got high speed internet at home two years ago and still don't use a smartphone. The comment quoted earlier pointing out...|||2. The way you describe the confluence of effects sounds very N, and the way you break it down categorically strikes me as distinctly Ti.  3. Independence is a strong emphasis for Ji types in my...|||I find Ni to be immensely engaging, especially when I can intuit novel connections that nobody else sees. I would guess that most types would be partial to their stronger perceiving function, what...|||Thanks for the suggestion. I think it actually does have a lot to do with self-consciousness resulting from things not matching that Fi ideal. It's something similar to dancing, in that being...|||I often imagine that it would be nice to not deal with most people. It's hard to bother dealing with the neuroses and cognitive biases that lead people (myself included, of course) to stubbornly hold...|||The funny thing is that, also Se-inferior, I have basically the opposite experience; it's extremely difficult for me to stop analyzing what I am doing and be in the moment. To date, the only...|||Certain enneatypes correlate with certain cognitive functions, but the correspondence is far from exact and any MBTI type can pair up with any enneatype (but naturally some pairs are more common than...|||It's really true. I always carry within me the implicit conviction that everyone is hostile to social interaction with people they don't know, and for that reason the notion of talking to a stranger...|||And that's the key. I joked elsewhere that 95% of my social interaction came from work, but it isn't far off the mark. Work requires us to interact with other people who have different personalities,...|||Given that birth rates are declining and eventually the world population will start decreasing, automation in the long run is a necessity; automating enough labor that the inevitable population...|||Since the rollback occurred, I have had a persistent notification for an Unread Visitor Message that does not disappear if I look at my visitor message. What's more, my post and thank counts seem to...|||The importance of Fi in the INTJ's cognition is shocking to other people who only see our Te, as well as to maturing INTJs who are learning how to handle their tertiary function. Ni creates...|||I must say, I am surprised by how many people identify with this sort of thing. The sorts of things described here are totally antithetical to my personality. If anything, I suspect that I have too...|||He has a strange amount of confidence in his interpretation. The thing is, even if you wanted to assign Te the quality of planning and Ti the quality of knowing truth, Te still functionally requires...|||He defines Ti and Te strangely. He seems to think that Te is strictly about planning courses of action and that only Ti is capable of evaluating truth. Really, Ti evaluates the truth of logical...|||Fi exists within me as a sense of moral obligation. Te decides my understanding of what is and anchors my Ni in concrete reality. Fi decides what I think of that concrete reality. Te guides my...|||Welcome! I also like cake. Particularly chocolate cake.|||I agree with this topic. It is similar to how psychiatrists will say that someone has schizophrenia rather than that someone is schizophrenic; you don't let your condition define you. This is a...|||An important thing to note is that you don't have to Ne it; you can re-use topics, or even a single topic if it is a real hit. My ISTJ best friend spends half the time talking to me about...|||A certain distance is normal for INTJs in interpersonal relationships. I've gotten into problems with people over this (including significant others), because my aloofness is misinterpreted as a lack...|||I took German in my senior year of college. I'm from the Bay Area and went to college at UC Berkeley.  I found being raised by an ENTP woman to be very intellectually stimulating. She's a retired...|||It has definitely helped me better differentiate Te and Fi. Before I understood what Fi was doing, I could be really insistent about a position on an issue, thinking that it was backed up by reality...|||Seriousness might be just the right term, actually. ENFPs seem to have a sort of lightheartedness to them, while INFPs and INTJs usually approach moral questions with an extraordinary seriousness. ...|||It's hard to explain, but INFPs seem to use Fi to establish a moral sense, and INTJs do something similar (though our moral sense is far less important to establishing how we approach problems and...|||The key about intelligence is that it is relevant to performance in many jobs. Someone with low intelligence can't be a good lawyer, just as someone with a small, weak body can't be a mover. Inborn...|||Nobody in this thread has mentioned him, but I've been watching tons of TL;DR lately (largely because I still enjoy his videos while I have soured on the bulk of the Youtube Skeptics and find him to...|||Conceptualizing Fi has helped me make sense of how I feel about things. It also helps me fret less about my shortcomings in other areas, such as Ti (represented as such by formal logic) and Ne...|||The help may not be wanted, but it may be needed. That aside, I would note that the supervisor holds significant power over the supervisee by virtue of holding that advantage of a leading function...|||Guten tag und Willkommen! Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch. Meine Mutter ist ein ENTP auch.  For the reference of non-Teutophones, I said Hello and welcome! I speak only a little German. My...|||People (myself included) don't possess perfectly clear cognition. If we could just lay down the facts and all agree, then I wouldn't need a plan. It doesn't work that way though.|||Solo: Longsword of some sort. Lack of ammunition consumption is a must, as is reach to keep my distance. It would take practice to handle it deftly, but it would be worth it. Group: Combat shotgun....|||Once I've died I won't be in a position to care anymore. Under ideal circumstances the process will last only a few brief moments, so why worry about whether someone else is there? Under non-ideal...|||INTJ: To develop the ultimate plan that will finally convince everyone else that I am right about everything.|||This is also a question that I have wondered about. My own hangup has been that evidently each type corresponding to a particular fear is adjacent to exactly two other fears and you have the ability...|||I also have a rich and vivid imagination that I can occupy myself with for long stretches of time, but I do agree that we need the input of other types here. It can be easy to take your own type's...|||It's also a guilty pleasure for me, though I haven't been paying attention to types getting banned. I noticed all three of the types you picked are Ti-types, and as someone else suggested xNTPs seem...|||I am so used to being disappointed by other people that it is hard for me to let go and rely on someone else to do things. I do idealize the concept of self-reliance, but I also see that it is not a...|||This is actually a big part of why I would be interested in such a board, actually. I would love to figure out a lot more about Big Five and SLOAN typing, especially considering that it is much...|||Big Five can dovetail into the SLOAN system of typing, which includes many possibilities for inquiry. There are also questions of how easily MBTI traits map to Big Five traits as there already exists...|||I would suspect that J-types would prefer jokes with a long setup and lead-in (think Chekhov's Gag) as opposed to random and spontaneous humor, though I haven't put too much thought into J/P-based...|||Welcome to the forum. Most people are so worried about getting somewhere that they forget to appreciate the process. I am glad to see that you recognize the value of the journey.|||I choose to follow these rules myself out of respect for the institutions they represent, but I do not expect anyone else to be held to do the same. Following the rules as an act of respect can only...'
