'The kind used in zero point modules.  But really, psychological energy. Motivation. Excitement. Those sorts of things.|||The flower petals sort of look like pastries from that angle, for some reason. Looks absolutely delicious.  Yes, this is not very helpful, but I saw it and had to say as much.|||Between the two? You seem more INFP to me. Your reaction to the image doesn't seem like Se at all.|||Your willingness to share your emotions, interest in trying new things for the sake of it (after-party), preference for interpersonal activities, relatively balanced Fi/Te, and very weak Si/Se all...|||I, me, my... She's constantly referencing herself and her feelings, primarily considering others to avoid disturbing her own sense of peace.  Furthermore, a strong Fe user (almost) never has...|||I'm thinking ISFP 9w1. Total Fi dom, and you seem to be taking in all the details of the picture and show signs of weak intuition under stress.|||I'd guess INTP. Definitely Si-Ne, your emotional focus seems to be outward (Fe), and you view debate as a test of your beliefs (Ti).  I'm probably totally off-base. Except Si-Ne. I'm pretty sure of...|||Hey, Ammy is the best wolf around! :dry:|||...Introverting drains your energy. Gotcha.|||Why does your signature mention playful arrogance, then?|||Ah. That's a good point, and it makes the issue a bit more complex. It now becomes a question of whether instinctual preferences and their reinforcement truly qualify as emotions. Basic feelings of...|||Haha, no. I'm just proving it's been widely observed and documented; therefore, it must be possible.|||I'm not, but that's not really the question. There are quite a few known mental disorders which involve permanent or temporary loss of emotion.|||Spoken like a true Fi dom!  Not everyone is the same as you, though. Many people legitimately can make decisions without factoring in their emotions. It's true that they can't maintain this mindset...|||Evidence shows the Big Five personality characteristics exist and the MBTI personality characteristics strongly correlate with them.  However, no Big Five or MBTI test has been proven accurate, and...|||From my experience, the most obvious sign of tertiary (and maybe auxiliary?) Fe is usually a desire to leave a lasting impression on the world, capture the minds of many people, etc. You didn't...|||Amaterasu: There's no evidence that everyone uses all functions. In fact, the idea is patently absurd.  Realistically, it is most likely that the human brain has two judging centers and two...|||Uh... Do you think Fe is the only function capable of empathy?  You're focusing on how you feel. In response to another's feelings or not, that's definitely not Fe.   What do you propose it is,...|||Yup.  Scientifically, though, I agree with Wakachi. I've seen no convincing evidence that 'time' actually exists. My conception of it is just a way to explain my perspective, as a human.|||INTJs don't usually have ideas, though.  NJs have great and important talents, but they're best at implementing the ideas of others, building optimized systems, and recognizing significant trends....|||So can you. You're always motivated when you find something you really like, aren't you?  Accomplishment for accomplishment's sake doesn't satisfy you, and seeing you force yourself to make an...|||Yes. There are better types. Like ENFP! Bwahahaha!  INTJ is for lamers, though. Pssh, what fuddy-duddies, always focused on accomplishing things and never enjoying life. What's the point of life if...|||My inferior Te alarms are sounding! Man the cannons!  This is a big one, men! If we don't stop them before they hit the gates, this fortress is done for!  Really, though.  And yeah, I agree...|||Owfin: So... Do you think INTP with strong Si a possibility?  'cause I was totally thinking it.|||A little, but mostly Si (comparing current beliefs to past ones), and your speculation on whether it's Te is Ne.|||Oh my god. The Fi. All of the Fi. How do you manage to fit this much Fi into a single response?!   There's some weak Si.   You feel inferior where Te is involved, then?   That's some...|||Ni does not consciously create. Ever. Ni simply knows.  If you create something, you're using Ne.|||That sounds like Ne. Ni doesn't say something different or read. It discerns the truth and knows.  Ni is about understanding existing systems, intent, etc. Ne is about coming up with new...|||As I understand it, Ni-Fi paranoia is about being deeply convinced of elaborate conspiracy theories. If you're imagining random people you see are somehow out to get you, that's Ne being strangled by...|||Well, when you get stuck in an introverted dominant-tertiary loop, you always escape from it by using your extroverted functions.   Could you describe it more? That way, I could better tell...|||You're acting petulant, Acerbusvenator. Wasn't I supposed to be the one with the personal issue, here? Or are you dropping all pretenses of rationality?  Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - Wikipedia,...|||The empirical evidence for MBTI?  The fact that it correlates strongly to the Big Five, which is nearly universally accepted in the scientific community.  By the way, claiming MBTI is all...|||Amaterasu: Anxiety is associated with the Fi-Si loop. I've felt bad in a similar situation before! That makes me feel bad now!  From what I can see, there's absolutely no way you aren't using Si...|||I love your analysis of the picture. Seriously. A pleasant feeling washed over me just from reading it.  You're comparing it to your drawing because of your Si, by the way. The way you keep...|||Ti/Fe? Seriously?   Classic INFP.   Weak Te and Si.   That's Fi. I'm not doing anything I see as wrong. Stop getting so angry about it!|||Oh, that's interesting. Just yesterday, the subject sort of came up with me. (That is, I brought it up and went on about it for no particular reason.)  I say the past does not exist, the present is...|||Acerbusvenator: You attack my argument based on your frustration with me (pretty openly, at that!) and assert the reliability of your method without offering any evidence (as usual). That's not very...|||Oh, sure, I see a glass of water, nothing else. is Si. Just the facts, not the details. However, there's plenty of Ne in there, too, and the Fi is unmistakable.  Why don't you want to be an...|||I'll just say my opinion hasn't changed, haha.|||That's not Se.|||That's not technically wrong, but I think it's more useful to think of it like this.  Ni understands the intended meanings, purposes, and/or most likely implications of what has been observed. A Ni...|||It can be useful because it provides more information about the thoughts and opinions of the person, but it's not a 100% guaranteed This is your type! solution, contrary to how he tried to apply it...|||@Celebok: Alright. I'll check Acerbusvenator's arguments and explain my disagreements here. (This is Tenebrae. I changed my name.)  - The inferior function list. The problem with this is pretty...|||Oh, yeah, definitely. It just doesn't feel right to play a character who doesn't share my moral standards. ...even if I fail to live up to them sometimes in real life...|||That's interesting. I can't even keep up with RTS, so I prefer to play turn-based games and arcade-y stuff where you don't really need to think to play.  I'd really like to know more about...|||By the way, Ne can find meaning, too! Lemme try my hand.  http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8154/7478752620_5f2381faa2.jpg There are many people walking on this road, each casting their own shadow....|||@Wakachi: I'm really having a hard time imagining you as anything but an NP at this point. Your Ne always seemed curiously strong, and there's no way you could just fake it entirely. You're also...|||I haven't used this method before, so I'm not totally sure, but that seems to reinforce the idea of Fe over Si. The tertiary function is typically the one we prefer to use when escaping from our...|||iscem42: Here's a question. Do you find it more comforting to...  Connect with, impact, and/or impress other people?  or  Nostalgically reflect on the past and/or revisit old interests?|||Ah, yeah? Do you say it just to say it, or are you also interested in how they react?'
