'Someone may have already stated this, but as there are five or six different tests used to measure IQ, and not all use the same standard of deviation. So, even if we were to make the assumption...|||In Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the answer to that question, as most people know, is 42. Countless people have spent countless hours trying to figure out what Adams meant by...|||I agree. As I wrote in the second paragraph...   [COLOR=#333333]  The first paragraph was in reference to a previous post in which someone claimed to be arrogant. That claim was what initially...|||You cannot apply a uniform set of characteristics to each individual within a type. In other words, just because ENTPs share the same type does not mean they share the exact same qualities. While we...|||Do you disbelieve everything you don't completely understand? Or is it that you completely believe in everything as you understand it?  In other words, neither an argument from ignorance nor the...|||Exactly. That was my point. Apologies if I wasn't clear. It was meant to illustrate that you can't necessarily judge whether or not an individual has a predilection for extraversion or introversion...|||Don't most people believe that some version of doomsday will eventually occur, be it by natural catastrophe (asteroid), self-annhilation (nuclear war), or the wrath of a supreme being (as told in...|||Or maybe I should take a class on butchering meat? For, you know, livestock. Or something.|||Should I maybe look into buying a large capacity barrel barbecue? Let's say, oh I don't know, one big enough to fit a human body in.|||What exactly leads you to believe that ENTPs prepare for anything?   I can't think of a single instance in which I spent more than an hour in preparation for something.|||This a thousandfold. I swear, it's as if they think their emotion-based subjectivity is objective truth.   ENFPs can truly be the worst.|||The reason why is, because there is no reason.|||I have a friend that splits time between Mendocino, CA, and Big Sur, CA (where I live) that will occasionally give out acid to his closer friends. All this requires is obtaining some sugar cubes....|||I am an unequivocally and ENTP and this happens to me with some frequency.   Maybe this is more due to my occasional misanthropy. People can be so insufferably rude, illogical, and dull and my...|||I'm sure most of you already know that the two share the same functions in a similar order. No one is completely E or I, so using that as a measure is not exactly reliable. I see main difference...|||The feeling is mutual. Conversations with an INTP are highly engaging, except for the other types involved, who generally look a bit lost.|||Really, the way I see this is not as a joke at all. It's about having the best of both worlds. Why limit yourself by adopting a this or that mentality? Plus, boredom is the death of me, so let me...|||ENTPs are logically random.   Edit: And randomly logical.|||Not really. When hanging out with friends that are ENTPs, it's like we have our own language, so you can make an obscure joke about something and they'll understand it while others around you think...|||Give me acid or give me death, for I do not care to live in a world I am oblivious to...|||I thought you were asking us what type we hated the most, or What are ENTPs' most hated type? Not, ENTPs: the most hated type?. Punctuation is a valuable asset when attempting to communicate to...|||So, so true.  I am literally emotionally intelligent.   A close friend of mine once told me, completely out of the blue, You don't feel emotion with your heart, you feel it with your brain. She...|||It appears that people don't understand what the word arrogant actually means. It is an exaggerated sense of one's own self worth. Admitting to being arrogant is essentially saying that you...|||I wrote this a few days ago for no reason at all other than to illustrate how the feeling of overwhelming insignificance when staring at the night sky is a comforting and valuable perspective. Things...|||I know, how about I tell you about why I don't believe in randomness or free will and that chaos is actually the illusion generated by infinitely complex order, that really everything can be...|||Some people are so mortifyingly boring that all I can think about is how they came to be that way. That's interesting, but in a negative integer sort of way.     It certainly is, but there really...|||But how did you honestly feel about it?|||Oops, I let the smart-ass get ahead of me and wasn't paying attention.   After a few minutes of reading her entry on Wikipedia, watching a moment of your first video, and applying what I already...|||Oh, and why are you majoring in something that bores you (computer engineering) and not in something you love (psychology)? It sounds like you need to be studying less boolean and more brain. ...|||This is exactly why I dropped out of college. I couldn't deal with the monotony of core curriculum and ditching class to do something that was actually mentally stimulating was a much better idea. A...|||Exactly. Excuse me, reality? Check, please.   It sounds like a case of Ne gone wild and negating Si to the point it doesn't function at all. What exactly is there to doubt? If you receive good...|||How? By not concerning myself with an emotional state based primarily on the subjective values of a society driven by machoism. That's how.   When you say, feel like a man all I can think of is...|||As Ayn Rand wrote:     Yep. That's it.|||The less intelligent an individual is, the easier it is to manipulate them. Men that are intelligent (as if intelligence was singular in scope instead of multi-faceted) are drawn to unintelligent...|||You must be an xxTP for the link to function. Change the personality type in your profile settings and try again.|||One last thing.  I can ramp up the absurdity and Ne-explode in a fit of topic creation if needed. You know, as a kind of aerially-delivered flame retardant to Digital Bum's front page wildfire.  ...|||Also, I just realized that the coupling of my avatar with my username might lead people to believe I am two different people.

The most accurate and fair, too.|||(May as well post this over here as this is clearly the more relevant (and rewritten) of the two threads on this same subject.)  To answer your question: Both the field of criminal psychology and...|||To answer your question: Both the field of criminal psychology and that of industrial-organizational (such as the military) psychology require a Master's Degree at minimum*. That is roughly four...|||As was I, in large part due to growing up with my gregarious, conversationally narcissistic ENFP of a father. He would dominate any social interaction, including those with my friends, even at a...|||That was about the age my peers began teasing me for having girly handwriting.|||I have somewhat schizophrenic handwriting. It is in a constant state of change - lowercase, uppercase, large, small, whatever.
