'I'm too busy for this, and I didn't think I'd meet anyone who would deny that INTJs tend (as in, there are always exceptions to be found, case in point) to be smarter than ESFPs. I'll get back to you...|||Yeah, people like this are going to be sort of distracting, so I'm calling it off until I have the resources (i.e. post count) to make my case in full. Cheerio!|||It doesn't matter. I can't think of any definition of emotional intelligence which would make a proportionate INTJ more emotionally intelligent than a proportionate INFJ.|||Yes, I have. Your point? INFJs have more emotional depth than INTJs. I didn't say anything about INFP vs INFJ, Fi vs Fe. You're irrelevant.  Do you claim to have analysed all relevant studies?  ...|||ephemereality, that's just gold. Label me 'cognitively biased' and call for sufficient evidence right before employing an anecdote (EDIT: lol, make that two*). Well, sir, what if I was to say that of...|||I would agree that it wasn't large enough to be representative, but when the ratio was to that extreme even in such circumstances, one can sketch the conclusion that most scientists and architects...|||Two very different kinds of genius, and not the one that I'm addressing.    Look, no one is denying that. I'm in complete agreement with you. But when, despite composing 25% of the entire...|||EDIT: I compiled about a dozen site sources over a half-hour to read To be able to post links or images your post count must be 15 or greater. I'll have to get to this later.   MBTI is by no...|||Oh, I'm genuinely stupid. I made several claims. Which of them do you find stupid? 1. An INTJ is often found to be smarter than an ESFP. 2. Intelligence is partially influenced by our ability to...|||Come on now, are we going to deny that nine times out of ten an INTJ will be smarter than an ESFP? Correlation does not imply causation, sure. Because you type as an INTJ doesn't definitively render...|||I think this would be better phrased as one cannot assume upon meeting a person that they are intellectually superior/inferior because they are intuitors/sensors, which would be quite correct. But...|||It screens for 'vision deficiency', not IQ. You are not intelligent because you can distinguish between shades of color, and nowhere on the page did it claim that.|||Right. I would think that is because we use the other functions selectively, while the dominant is the default psychological state and is therefore always 'on'. Dominant-auxiliary loop? Assuming...|||There is no hard science to back any of this up  What would you say of Dario Nardi's work?  The function order assumptions of Myers, Beebe, Berens are simply that - assumptions  Are they...|||Yes.|||Neither are games to be played. And no. I was and am looking for answers. Things kicked off when your friend came into things assuming an argument from a question, and I followed the tangent If you...|||.|||You seem to have skipped over 5 points. If I acknowledge that we're playing a game (and just for fun and games, I will) you agree to address them.|||Bold.|||Beautiful.    Irrelevant again, but wrong, again. Words are not (definitively, i.e. necessarily) concepts, they express concepts. Perhaps a better metaphor would be atoms, meaningless...|||Is that so?  Hold on there. I 'read offence' into statements that were blatantly intended to be offensive, sure, but what's to say that I actually am offended? Does arguing now hold prerequisite...|||I understand your ego was hurt was intended to be offensive. I find this to be ignorance rather than stupidity was intended to offend. Or am I jumping in front of bullets here? I do see his...|||I wouldn't agree. To deliberateky seek to offend someone and then apologise for being sophomoric is not consistent behaviour, and there is a noticeable difference between being blunt and outright...|||No. Pretty much the only thing you could reasonably derive from those two sentences was that I disagreed with you. You then go on to announce that my ego is hurt. You intended to offend. Now you're...|||I think it would seriously benefit all new posters to read previous posts.   I wasn't proposing my own beliefs, 'matter of fact I created this thread seeking for (informed) viewpoints to formulate...|||The position that objective truth either does not exist or cannot be 'known' relatively does not necessitize it is pointless to seek the truth. In fact, given that knowledge is subject to change as...|||INTx because wolfs are loners.|||INFP :angry:|||Huh, not a bad idea.|||A philosophical position that does not concern the process of thought does not necessarily impact a person's thinking. So, how has studying philosophy and its various subfields led you to that...|||Skepticism is to doubt the truth of, an act. The latter is the philosophical position that truth does not exist or exists beyond the realm of understanding, and does not necessitate the former, but...|||I would agree, but what exactly is your point? My post concerns the ideology that nothing may truly be ascertained, not the dynamics of skepticism.|||Talk about first world problems, OP.|||What did I say that would denote that? How does the position that nothing can truly be ascertained (i.e. of the more extreme skeptic) translate to 'skepticism of skepticism', which would imply...|||Factoring in a bit more research, I've narrowed it down to the Epiphone AJ220S and the Yamaha FG700S, most likely the former. But what would be the difference between a dreadnought (DR220S) and an...|||Neither of the aforementioned are definitive of skepticism, and skepticism of any level does not negate the ability to reason.|||The neocube. We are incomplete without the neocube.|||This would assume that a) you must always necessarily act on your beliefs, and b) that it is irrational to act or believe without definite knowledge.|||You can't really be wrong on a subjective observation. Asserting that she was an INFJ could be wrong. Supposing she sounds to me as one can't. Anyway, where does your auxiliary Te come into things...|||Right. The Epiphone AJ220S seems the most likely. Everything else plus the solid spruce top, and sounds great. The Yamaha FG700S has been recommended but I like Epiphone's sound. Can anyone spare...|||Am I the only one who has never heard someone genuinely propose this claim? In fact, I've met a fair share of sexists, and none of them were men on women. Maybe it's different in the states or...|||Would you agree that truth is binary, and that there is objective truth, i.e. something is either true or it isn't? And do you believe that truth can be ascertained in absolution, or only perceived...|||I've scourged the internet but the nearest one isn't very near at all, unfortunately.  So what materials should I be looking out for ideally? There are some with solid spruce tops, mahogany and...|||You can't dictate what is good and what is interesting, they're relatives. To you it may be so, but to me, my god, they are not. Value can be measured somewhat objectively. An environmental...|||Eh, I'm up for a little challenge. I don't mean fingerstyle as much for playing with the fingers as with consecutively 'picking' one string after the other (as with both songs above), as apposed to...|||I was thinking to buy one off Amazon or something, not a whole lot of guitar shops around me. Youtube tutorials work :tongue:  Nah, I'm planning on setting in my own strings. D'Addarios or...|||Actually, I hadn't. What would sound better playing a piece like this? I looked up some covers and saw a fair proportion of classical and steel strings, couldn't really differentiate between the...|||I've always had it in my heart, but only just now have gotten around to it. Not looking for anything above $160 (with my state even that'd be pushing it); at most I could push for $240, but I'd...|||I accidentally voted yes, sorry for ruining the streak. As long as I can completely pull my own weight, I wouldn't mind, but dependence would make me feel vulnerable.|||Qualified teachers would be awesome.'
