'If there was one reason I would want to remain an INTP, it would be this. I have never met another individual who has demonstrated a tendency towards recursive meta-thought like I, and many INTPs,...|||Love it. Unfortunately, literary satire usually requires some knowledge of the subject matter at hand, so I will admit that some satire flies over my head.  When you GET IT, though, man, it's...|||Exactly how I'd react, haha. I'd be like Whoops, sorry! I'll come back later, then. and then go hide my red face.|||I was honestly considering Machinarium, but I decided on Botanicula in the end. Probably should still pick up Machinarium, and I probably would have, had I not make a mildly swift, but brief...|||Agreed. I'm mildly lazy, so it's a bit difficult to go and be socially active enough for friends. Especially friends I'd like to keep around.  I wouldn't mind if they randomly fell into my lap,...|||I did a bit of acting in high school. I...guess I was okay at it? Being a guy helped a lot 'cause most of the cast members were girls. I kept getting cast as either the villain or the comedic relief,...|||I had an adventure game phase. Truth be told, I still haven't finished Botanicula. Thanks to GOG, though, I have a folder full of neat avatars. :proud:  About time I picked an avatar, anyway.|||I should do this more often. So often, like most other people on this thread, I pick solid-colored T-shirts, because I hate the shirts with logos on them. I don't mind a buttoned shirt, usually,...|||Wow, I am far more promiscuous than I thought. :tongue:    See, the most I will EVER do is say Hey, you! You're attractive, you know that? or some variation on it. Not even that much, though,...|||Can I hop onto the terrible with flirting bandwagon? I cannot for the life of me compliment anyone on their looks. Ever. Whenever I'm about to, I just stop dead in my tracks. It's actually kind of...|||I usually don't have a problem with eye contact unless it's pretty girls I'm meeting for the first time. I don't understand why I WOULD avert my eyes from most people. You gotta keep an eye on them...|||This is me. I am usually very punctual and hardworking when it is out of responsibility to someone else. I can't do very much of anything for my own benefit. I'm still bad with schedules, though....|||Everything. ;_;|||Ah. So you actually do have your life completely in order, so I am of no use here. Ha, sorry. To be honest, I'm still struggling to fulfill my own advice, so you're on a completely different problem...|||Yeah, I know this feeling all too well. I still haven't figured it out.  However, I decided to do two things:  1. Shrivel my heart anyway. Emotions are best suited for connecting with other...|||I'm not sure. This is where I get a bit hazy. My first thought was that it varies from INTP to INTP, but my second was that the depth and tension of the walls typically erected by the...|||INTPs don't monitor facial expressions, so how do you expect them to monitor body language? They're not particularly animated, especially when thinking.  Anyway, I would monitor your standing with...|||Are you judging by their face? If it looks particularly vacant or bored, then they might be thinking. INTPs don't monitor what their facial expressions are. Trust me: I'm sometimes caught grinning...|||Do it, but do it with dignity.  Anyway, I just popped in to say that dealing with a brainwashed world is a problem for INTPs and not just INTP women, although, to be honest, I have no firsthand...|||Do it! Gaming opens up a huge portion of the world, and you aren't going to get any better if you just watch it.|||To be honest, I actually preferred the company of women for most of high school. It might just be the girls you're mostly hanging around. I found the guys at my school to be mostly irksome aside from...|||Did either of you ever playing the Moviebattles 2 total conversion? That pretty much sucked away half my days in high school and then some.|||In my opinion, it's really just semi-worth it. It's probably better to wait for the price to drop. It's a very cool game, but it's a bit overpriced at the moment.|||Anyone heard of this game? After watching a video on Youtube, I almost immediately picked it up.  So, uhh... Yeah. I think the best way I can describe it is an extremely Escher-esque FPS puzzle...|||I see qingdom moonlights as a highly effective kidnapper.|||In some cases, we are, especially if we don't feel the need to chameleon like we normally do. However, if we weren't concerned with society's expectations, why would we chameleon in the first place?...|||I wish. It feels like I can't, though I haven't made a serious attempt. I think I could stab a few deep wounds, maybe.    Personally, I'd attempt to get away. Far away. If they don't listen to...|||Their inferior function is Fe, remember? They're more likely to say straight because that's more in line with what society expects from them. Not to mention that saying that they're gay closes off...|||If Ni and Te are your main preferences, I'd probably say you're INTJ. Your lesser functions matter, but not as much as the dominant ones.  Although, I am in no way qualified to give out any...|||Finally. Now if my country can just get its head out of its ass enough to get rid of the penny and maybe the nickel too.|||I just...  Whenever I hang out with my imaginary friends and go to parties and stuff, I never feel like I really fit in, you know?  I just sit in the corner and read.|||It depends on the team. Sometimes, they'll try being wholly dependent on me, on the basis that I somehow have more of an idea of what to do than they do. Other times, they'll actually do stuff, and...|||Yeah... but there are variations with each person even if they are the same personality type. Plus, take into account the effects that society has on you, even as an independent INTP. While I'm not...|||I actually agree with NT, but I both liked and disliked gym. If I had a gym class consisting of myself, I'd've liked it far better, but my school also didn't do cool stuff like archery. We had...|||Sometimes, if a statement is made that is particularly intriguing or just strikes me in a certain way, I'll cock my head to one side and peer at the speaker. Not in a bad way, although occasionally...|||The best way to undermine them.  They don't even KNOW.  Anyway, it's best to let them have their own ideas of what you are, because the probability of acceptance of your natural state is...|||I include neither of the verbal cues that follow sarcasm and satire, so they're forced to take it at face value.|||Careful, though. Even if INTP is your personality type, it seems (at least to me) to be a pretty broad spectrum, and you get lots of different INTPs with their own various timbres.|||It is, isn't it.  Anyway, people at work ask me if I have a sense of humor, to which I staunchly reply, No. Because, obviously, if I don't make all my humor cues clear, then I don't have a sense...|||I liked physics and astronomy once upon a time. Lately, though, I think my mind has been wandering into the veils of psychology and maybe a teeny bit political philosophy. Not very serious about the...|||On a less funny note, America has an unhealthy obsession with proper English conventions (ironically discarding the actual English conventions such as honor-honour, etc.) in its education system. I'm...|||Okay, that legit makes me chuckle, frankly. Don't say that there's another guy though, or he'll probably never ever stop whining. Ever. He'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth and the last thing...|||He sounds like a bit of a doofus, to be honest. I'm not going to say immature, but hell, it sure sounds like it.  Anyway, onto the analysis: if he's completely dominating your conversations with...|||To be honest, I think he probably wanted to try dating you, but he couldn't do it for a variety of reasons, whether it be just for the preservation of the friendship, which he might've believed could...|||Intimidating just isn't possible for some people. For everything else, that's about right, but realize that some people just talk to hear themselves talk. I work with a guy like that, and he...|||I wouldn't say that I'm a casual gamer, but I'm not a great big fan of multiplayer games, but I do enjoy them along with singleplayer games. I would say that I'm a pretty balanced gamer, as far as...|||I believe there's a point where you become so socially inept that you emerge out the other side and can stare people down for excess periods of time. I am one of those people.  No, I'm not...|||People can't read the invisible.  oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo was that cryptic enough?    But seriously, to some people, I don't exist. For most others, they usually get it wrong if they...|||I am meek.  Let not my explosive anger dissuade you.|||Si is based around the recollection of past data, isn't it? If that's the case, is it that surprising that almost all types would be a bit Si-heavy, considering all the remembering you do in school?...'
