'It's much easier for me to relate to and connect with people who are lonely, socially alienated, or just generally unsuccessful when it comes to forming social bonds.  This has, for obvious...|||It's probably not even remotely healthy, but I usually bypass my shyness by pretending to be an outgoing/confident character. It is surprisingly effective.  In my case (and I think probably most...|||I don't think any types feel anger more frequently or intensely than others.  However, when it comes to expressing anger in extreme or destructive ways, I think Te-doms make good candidates. I...|||INFPs are notoriously self-loathing.|||Neither. Why in God's name would I take a pill from a mysterious stranger who claims said pill will do something extraordinary and unrealistic?  That being said, being able to play any musical...|||ISTJs.  Typed myself as one for a long time, and therefore spent a lot of time on their forum. Gotta stick up for my homeboys.|||Eh. Facing rude/blunt criticism is just the reality of putting your ideas out in a public sphere.  If the OP actually gets scared away because of that, maybe she isn't ready for an internet forum.|||But guys, nobody's shutting anybody up.  Open and public dialogue on a subject from multiple people with differing opinions ≠ censorship.|||OP, your post is way too emotional, therefore you can't be an INTP.  211866|||Yeah, this.  Same as most other pop artists who milk the deep persona for all it's worth.|||On the stressed thing: I basically get hyper-obsessive and hard-working when I'm stressed. I feel overwhelmed by whatever problem or problems I'm having, so I compensate for this by multiplying my...|||Fair enough, I suppose. That makes sense.    Yes, I actually thought I was an INFP for quite a while, but I changed my mind because I didn't really connect very strongly with the other people I...|||Strengths: I think that I tend to think more deeply and analytically than most people. Also, I've been told I'm a pretty good writer (even if I'm not, it's still probably the closest thing I have to...|||So, for quite a while now, I've considered myself to be an ISTJ. However, I feel that I may have previously been relying on a faulty/misguided understanding of the theory, and so I am, once again,...|||Yes, I relate to that statement very strongly.  However, as much as I desire to change the world, it just isn't very realistic, or at least not on a large scale, so I have no real intention of...|||While I think that the school system in America is failing basically every student, I honestly don't understand this whole obsession with making subject matter in schools applicable.  Is there...|||I don't believe that they are the same (obviously; if they were the same, there wouldn't be any distinction to begin with). However, they are equal and should be treated as such. Expecting women to...|||That is not a response.  Why do you have such an obvious need to feel superior to others, so much so that you pretend that their thoughts and ideas aren't even worth your time? Insecurity, maybe? ...|||It depends on what you mean by subservient. If the dominant/submissive component of of a relationship is accepted and desired by both partners, then I don't see anything inherently disrespectful...|||No.  However, I would consider respect to be a vital part of love. It's difficult for me to even imagine a scenario where someone loves another person without respecting them.|||I can usually talk about anything, but I very much prefer conversations of a more intellectually-stimulating nature, at least with those I'm close to. I find it difficult to form any sort of real...|||There's too much happiness and positive thinking in this thread.  Shut it down.|||But, that doesn't make any sense. Every thread is an NF thread, due to them talking louder, more frequently, and for a greater period of time than anyone else.|||This thread is nine pages long.  I just want to emphasize that all it takes to get a 9-page long (and presumably longer, in the future) thread on Personality Cafe is to arbitrarily insult a random...|||But, why are you angry?|||No, no, don't be ridiculous. That'd never work.  I, personally, recommend subliminal messaging, specifically using the method of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. There's some people out there who will...|||Nothing distinguishes humans from animals. Humans are animals. Therefore, your description of a human without introspection as,    applies equally to all humans.  As for whether or not it's...|||I think SJ's, as a whole, are probably least interested in it, though, unlike what most people seem to assume, I don't think it's due to an incapacity to use abstract reasoning or to grasp theory....|||But that's wrong.|||After watching that interview and reading a little bit about him, I get a strong impression that he's an ESxP. Most likely ESTP, but I could also see ESFP. Probably an Se-Dom in any case.  Also,...|||Starseeds?  This is taking Special Snowflake Syndrome to a remarkably extreme level. Like, almost as extreme as Otherkins.|||I have some advice:  1. Contrary to popular belief, the personality test is easier to score high on if you get literally no sleep the night before. 2. Use a pen with red ink; #2 pencils are a...|||This may be the most nonsensical/contradictory/hypocritical/irrational post that I've ever had the misfortune of being directed at me on the internet.  Well done, sir.|||...I get the sense that you have absolutely no interest in having a reasonable debate with me, though I haven't the faintest idea why. Is it because I'm an ISTJ? If so, that seems a little silly,...|||You are literally making the claim that MBTI types are the direct result of different brain areas being overactive/underactive (which you've provided no evidence for, because there isn't any), that...|||People aren't immediately accepting my completely flawed theory that has absolutely no basis in biology, science in general, psychology, philosophy, or even reality! This must mean that they're at...|||I doubt anyone's posted this, so allow me:  Even if your theory is correct, an imbalanced personality is not the same thing as a mental illness. If you think it is, then you have a laughably...|||ENFJ, with ESTP as a close second.  In both cases, it seems like it'd be physically exhausting to even carry out your day-to-day life.|||I'd say it makes you a reasonable person, but maybe that's just the cynicism talking.|||Why should I fantasize about bullying someone? Bullying is mean.  Explain to me the purpose of this thought experiment and/or survey.|||You're going about this the wrong way, OP. If someone insults your type, the appropriate action is to turn around and insult their type.  This is Internet Banter 101, people. I'm disappointed in...|||Procrastinating on an insult?  This is what happens when you let ESFPs use the internet.|||I think everyone probably has a lot of contradictions in their personalities and beliefs. Sort of just a part of being human (and therefore imperfect), I guess.  Also, viewing the world completely...|||I typically get along very well with ENFPs. They tend to have a unique perspective on nearly everything, which can be pretty refreshing. The world could use more uniqueness.|||See, the problem in your scenario is that you think other people are going to be reliable.  Expecting other people to be reliable is like expecting other people to be nice, polite, or even halfway...|||If all else fails, your friend and the guy could get real freaky and study an in-depth history of taxes.|||I relate to well-developed and three-dimensional characters, and will often share their emotions, or at least sympathize with them. But, if the character is just a piece of cardboard with a small...|||I don't really understand how someone could be mainstream, considering the mainstream is just whatever thoughts, ideas, entertainment, and behaviors are widely-held, popular, or accepted in society...|||Where's the Mystery Box?  You can't have one of these threads without the Mystery Box. I choose the box.|||INTJ, because you say you always type people correctly due to being an INFJ, but since you are clearly INTJ, that means you don't always type people correctly, which means you aren't an INFJ....'
