It stands for most people as long as...|||Depending on what you mean by that, yes... I'll buy Freudian psychology to an extent.  Conversely, I can explain a few ways in which I interact with the world and how I think impacts my appearance....|||Depends on the reason.

If you have time to...|||Thank you for putting it in a creative writing format, I appreciate that immensely, but I CANNOT force myself to read all of that. I read a bit of it though, the teleporter bit.  Personally believe...|||I've got an INFP buddy. He's cool, suave, a real pal, but we can't speak close to the same language. Depending on what's going on, one of us will be the slowone. If me and my INTJ friend are going...|||I like realistic science fiction, one that follows the basic laws of physics or has some kind of reasoning behind it. Science fiction like the Alien series, Minority Report, iRobot, and that can...|||Yep, all the physical stereotypes fit here.

I'm in a moral dilemma because I've always considered myself to be neutral, living in a world of gray instead of black and white.

All the INTJs I know will work themselves to sickness if they feel even the tiniest shred of responsibility for a task.

Step 3: Poorly attempt to chew while slobbering like an idiot and experiencing the bliss that comes between opening your...|||I'm not a flake. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm perfectly reliable all the time for any reason. I don't have a problem. *darts eyes about room while casually sipping sodau200b*|||Yep. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, the only one I'll have to rely on is myself, and if I can't do that what kind of man am I?

Blunt honesty, analytic nature, highly logical mental process, social...|||I'll give you that, that's true. No, I don't know everything for certain, but then again no one does. Hell, I'm a bit of a Solipsist, so I can relate just a tad. But I'll further justify myself that...|||dawilliams, thank you for your sentiment. You have some truth to your insight, but I get along with ISTPs just fine (I know MANY of them. My father, brother, and several friends and acquaintances),...|||Brush your teeth and keep your body moving.

It's not like you can stop the farming of...|||I have an ISTJ associate that I could only accurately describe as my rival at this point. We can get along in a neutral environment outside of work and we have a lot in common, but it's the same...|||I Blank Out so often I've become infamous among the people I know for having the worst short term memory on the planet. I often get flak at work for setting my energy drink down somewhere and...|||Books won't really help that much. A lot of that comes from experience and reflection.

First, use your social...|||Hate to double-post like this, but the barber shop jacked up my haircut so I'm putting up a new photo to reflect change. I think it looks pretty stupid compared to my last one, but here's the way I...|||It is the condition of not knowing, or being unaware.
