'Maybe there's a pattern begging for an explanation, but I don't really care to understand the minds of anyone who is nationalistic.   In America, there's great irony in nationalism and...|||What? What about the classic fusion of synthwave, action, and horror? It created a trifecta of brilliance never seen before or since.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrRyExyCjy0|||It has to do with word-use and tool-use, and understanding the gradual decline (or hierarchy) of intelligent roles.   699450|||Considering how much of the Bible consists of primary sources, it is quite possibly the most valuable historical document to ever exist.  What gets me is how angry both believers and non-believers...|||Well there isn't a lot to go on here, but the least I can do is say that I'm judgmental of everybody all the time, but mostly to myself. This goes especially for the ones I love the most. I hold them...|||INTJ - Christian. Though I've never found a denomination which I didn't have major disagreements with, especially Catholicism.   My religious beliefs are best understood when compared to Isaac...|||I've met a handful of Perceivers who were extremely hard working. I think Judgers get the reputation of being hard workers because we're better at acting like we work hard. It just comes off like...|||Unless she identifies as a man. Then the question becomes, who raped who? The entity or the identity?  And we haven't even began to discuss the possibility that the company sexually identifies as...|||Ironically, these displays of expanded minds just show how limited their users' minds actually are.  Who fixates on a single concept and holds it so high as to display it in their house, that...|||... not some proven external secret or plan.  Otherwise, agreed.  We're given the power the forge our own paths and think our own thoughts. In that sense, maybe giving ourselves a purpose is our...|||I always thought Vegeta was an ISTJ. People wanting to make him an INTJ clearly don't understand that the source of his pride (and general character) comes from his high status as a Saiyan prince....|||Quit being correct. It's bad for your health.|||What are your marketable skills?  Unless you solely want ideal careers predicted to be good for ENFP's, but that can be googled to infinity.|||Hm, sadly... probably.   Probably on account that I might actually be a little intimidated by it, and maybe some deep insecurity would be my motivation to harness that power which I do not or may...|||You're right, but I think your verbiage is a little rough. It gives off the vibe that you think all men are unnaturally egotistical. Is that true?  It's clear you have a distaste for the...|||Hm, I'm not sure that's the best way to describe it, if we're just generally talking about the male gender. Because if a man takes pride in his intelligence, and it's real pride, not the fake shit...|||Stoic ability? I appreciate that you see it in that light, but I've always assumed it was because of my arrogance or lack of discipline. Don't get me wrong, it always eats at me when I leave a book...|||I feel like I made this thread, because that's how much I understand the issue. Very rarely do I not give up on a book 30 pages in because I've made the conclusion that the story isn't worth the...|||I'd be interested to know if there indeed is a correlation. Will you be sharing your results after you've gathered a sufficient amount of data?  Not big into zodiac signs but I've always wondered...|||It's fairly obvious how one determines their type.  1.) Understand the theory. 2.) Examine past behavior.  Of course I subscribe to Keirsey Temperament Theory wherein the temperaments are...|||And often those are the ones flaunting some emo philosophy like: I don't have emotions. I hate everything. As though those two statements don't conflict at all.  I don't think they're INTJ's....|||For me it was a learned skill, since it typically involves some show of emotion. Once I learned it though, I believe it made me a much better person, since it requires a great deal of discipline and...|||No need to be perfect. If everything were perfect it'd be all too easy, and life without a challenge would be depressing because then there'd be no room to grow. With people, the room to grow is...|||Two food trucks: T&J Waffles and Greek on the Street I ate lunch at almost every day for two years because their shit was better than restaurant food. If they had those trucks in Idaho I'd donate to...|||It depends entirely on the context of the rebellion. What do the rebels hate about the government? Can the rebels organize in secrecy?  Operations and strategies range from a simple assassination...|||Meaning is created by individuals. If individuals choose to be meaningless in the sense that they make a negligible impact on a civilization, it is their choice. You can't force people to be more...|||Yeah, sacrificing other people's lives for the greater good is tyranny on every level. The ends become obsolete when the means do not live up to the ideal of the ends. It's like rushing an idea....|||How is this even a question?  I'd love to hear a rationale for anyone who would rather save the Mona Lisa. Cultural preservation? Gross. Since when is culture on a higher echelon than life?|||For me to have a rival I would first need to care what they thought of me, second have internal doubts about whether or not they are better than me in some specific area that I really care about, and...|||Interesting. I thought you might like to know. I quoted a manga/anime character who resonated with me who I always assumed was an ENTJ. If you want to read about him to further your theory via the...|||When people live their life for the sole reason that they were born into it. Or put simply: casualness.    Where's the direction? The purpose? Are they just lifeless husks? Sheep to be herded?...|||Astrophysics and quantum physics, though I only study them at the conceptual level.     No and I never will. No time for that in the grand scheme of things.     It suffices for a rudimentary...|||Welcome to the field and the forum. Don't forget to check out the KTT INTP: The Architect|||Petty slander.   I wound't even consider the inquiry affecting if it posited Beast wearing a tutu. Dare I say you have some erroneous malopinion to further your nincompoopery? *adjusts monocle*|||Side-note: cartoon beast is scarier/more brutal than live-action one.  661562|||I know. Loan words piss me off. That and how so many languages use the latin alphabet! Ugh... Languages of entirely different origin all use the same basic alphabet. Trying to learn the Finnish...|||Well I suppose they could all just learn Esperanto, but there's still use in many languages, because in some sense they compete with each other.  Certain languages can convey concepts 1000x better...|||Actually Plato, then Hippocrates, then Aristotle, then Galen, and so on to Myers. The four humors was just the second (or one of the first) known rendition of the theory and was riddled with error,...|||Well I'd say the fact that it's been around that long must mean it got something right. Regardless, temperament theory is actually based on 50 years of observation in patterns of action and word-use....|||This is the most legitimate source for KTT: Temperaments Overview, aside from the book Please Understand Me II of course.|||I'm not surprised. I bet many in the reserved/directive role variants: ISTJ, ISTP, INFJ, INTJ have it.  I do...|||Kdiosa are you new(ish) to Jung/MBTI/KTT/Soc?  If so, why get steeped in analyzing cognitive functions? I recommend temperament theory. Can't go wrong there.|||I'm not sure what exactly to call it. I've learned to detect NF speech not by what is said but by how is said. For NF's I believe there's a characteristic of emphasis that defines much of their...|||Yeah, most likely. If nothing else she definitely has those mystic NF eyes, even in her non-NF roles. That and she also has the strange voice characteristic ENFP's often have.|||Background  I have a beginner-level knowledge of software design, but I'm quite confident in my ability to design variable systems.  Again, I may be talking way out of my league here, but based...|||I think ESTP's would, in theory, make some of the best lawyers. Sure ENTP's are better debaters, but ESTP's are better persuaders. One is effective against smart people. The other is effective...|||Well at least you're honest about it. Had to take a breather after that one.  Anyway I'm never at my smartest, because I'm afraid I'll find out I'm not as paradigm-rending as I thought.|||Emotions; a necessary evil.   We NT's wouldn't have much purpose if we had no emotions to combat on a daily basis. It's our gift and curse. There wouldn't be a point to live without them, yet in...|||I know it isn't as grandiose as traditional classical music but the horror of Nox Arcana really kicks my mind into gear.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP4uHXyu8GQ|||Sometimes I can be really good at it, but I'm usually not. I don't know why that is. Probably because I'm just too preoccupied on some unrelated speculative fancy.'
