'This is why it's so difficult to explain Ni. He could have painted something if he thought of every line, but it most probably wouldn't be as good. He searched for something inside him that would...|||Close but no cigar. I'm a little more down south from a tiny country known as Belgium (little for Americans, big for Europeans).|||I'm a scientific researcher and work a lot with big, epidemiological data. I was in search of myself after I graduated from college with a psychology and management degree, hopping some jobs and...|||If you talk about things he likes just to please him he'll sense this. ISTP's aren't manipulated very easily, because they know it all too well. Just be yourself, talk about things you want to talk...|||There's a quote in Ex Machina who also reminded me of this. They're talking about a painting of Jackson Pollock to explain the difference between A.I. and humans. He didn't think about every line or...|||Se is a very conscious function. The epitome of Se to me is almost like a computer, gathering every input and processing it, not missing anything. While Ni is more like a natural flow, a gut...|||Interesting, does it have anything to do with meditation?   And to go all theoretic again, isn't this all about your Ni developing and making us ISTP's to a certain degree unstoppable (i.e. Bruce...|||Ah  the old ESTP-ISTP discussion! I've had big doubts about them myself, even going towards ENTP-INFP-ENFP. But now I've never been so sure about my type. I could still be wrong (always critical) but...|||That's exactly my point|||²  And people who say they don't like it just don't know it yet.|||I have this theory about stuff like that: astrology, religion, etc.  It's not logical to believe in it, but some people use their intuition, it just feels right to them. That's why I think NF...|||Wow, no problem thank you very much! Are you sure you're not NF? ;) I'll definitely look into it further now that you enlightened me with this material.|||You mean Ti - Se - Ni - Fe for ISTP?  Do I regard the non dominant functions as something I have to work on or are these also a strength but not as explicit as the dominant function?  Do you...|||This is exactly how I feel!|||Thanks for your input. Fortunately since I have a love for physiology I don't like to tear up bodies ;) But I was always really interested in anatomy class seeing real (dead obviously) bodies in...|||Sometimes you get these isolated periods in life, you're not alone. I also had it in college. It's because you make a decision for yourself if it's worthy to go outside to spend your energy on or...|||Nope, not really into that. But for instance, I am very much interested in human physiology and how it all works together. I can imagine a car being run through a motor giving force to wheels etc....|||Yeah, thing is i'm not really into theory; if things get too abstract or I can't relate to it on a personal, experienced level I lose interest. I'm also very much in the moment and Se just seems...|||haha ok, good to know! And I actually tried to keep it short and simple. Isn't writing a skill of the ISTP though or more N related?  edit: kinda boring day at the office, so that's probably the...|||Hi there,  Sooooooo I'm back here after a long hiatus and randomly got interested in personality types again (you know how it goes :) ) I'd like to know if there are actually ISTP's here who aren't...|||The thing is, when he talks, there's absolutely no emotion involved at all. You can look up some interview clips on youtube or something. He's very analytical and logical. I know a lot of music...|||Hey everyone.  I'm interested in your opinion about the personality type of techno-rock-rave-dj star Moby. I saw a documentary of him last night and I couldn't quite get him.  The dimensions I'm...|||Welcome to the fun|||oooooowkaaaaaaay|||I'm up for the challenge! :laughing:|||I recognise this too! It's like you've done so much thinking about possible outcomes and put so much time in it, that you know it can never be your fault if something goes wrong. It can never be our...|||It's funny isn't it. Girls want what they can't have. Real recognisable here. If I'm around a girl I really like, I tend to come off rather reserved and afraid of doing something wrong. With girls I...|||See, if I don't really like someone, I honestly get away from this person, not too them. You should try it sometimes. While you were out with this girl you didn't like you may have missed an...|||Meaningless sex, what does that even mean?  Like having sex with someone you don't have feelings for?   But still, wanting to have sex with someone, isn't that a positive feeling towards a...|||That looks awesome|||I love girls who dress like this. I hate make-up and dresses and all that beauty queen behaviour.  A natural look comes off to me as way more beautiful and real.  If i'd be a girl I guess I would...|||So to answer your questions:  1) I know her best friend a little bit, rather say we're just acquaintances, but I don't see her often since she moved out of the country now for a big vacation. The...|||To me any help is welcome, any opinion matters.  That doesn't mean I'm giving her 100% credit. To me it's more like a 30% chance there may be emotional abuse in this situation, since there are a...|||I did think about her being an INFP, since she comes off as a rather dreamy person which is a typical trait for an NF. Or she's just tired of doing all this stuff :p. It could well be she's an INFP,...|||Ok so he comes off as an abusive partner. There are a lot of things that are recognisable here. New things I thought about when reading the list: They also seem to live with him most of the time. She...|||- You find this thread to be enormously interesting but still don't make it past page 8 because there's even more and new interesting information available somewhere else.  - You're constantly...|||I understand. Just don't get what SuperDuperMan means by the slow movement, food type :p|||Never heard about these 2 types. What do you mean by food and slow movement and the other one, it doesn't make any sense :p|||I don't really get what you're saying here  BUT, I thought about it and decided to go slow like you all suggested and I'm not letting her know my feelings. The accidentaly bumping into idea seems...|||Don't worry, I greatly appreciate your opinion and again it was very interesting to read.  I understand it will be very hard to get her out of this (as far as we suspect) abusive relationship. I...|||You mean the cocky but funny method :laughing: I'll see what I can do, as I said, it's just very hard (almost impossible) to talk to her but I'll wait and hope the moment comes along.  I actually...|||It's actually very weird, but I like this girl so much I haven't even thought about having sex with her! I just want to be with her, get to know her, have a good time. Never had this before, it's...|||Thank you for your post, was a very interesting read.  I also feel like I'm seeing things that maybe she can't see, since I'm an N. It's very probable she has an attachment issue, but since I...|||Hmmm, so it seems I'm running out of options then :frustrating:|||Well, how would you react if someone you knew from the past and see every week but barely talk to suddenly left you a positive, charming note by your car? Would you find it weird? Would you find it...|||Ha good idea and sounds fun, but maybe a little weird that I all of a sudden try to scare the crap out of her and have a laugh with her. Maybe something that let's her also know I'm interested in her...|||I think she would like that! Well I got to know her as a friend of an ex-girlfriend. Not the best situation I know but they aren't really close friends or anything. Nowadays I only see her twice a...|||Well maybe I'd introduce her to it if I know her a little better.   Hm actually if I know her well enough it's very probable I got her attention so it isn't necessary anymore to know her type...|||Haha now that would be weird :laughing:  Well actually this is all the information I have of her, says enough she's definitely an introvert. But the image of an ISFP all round matches with her a...|||Well, that sounds like her allright and that's what I love about her :wink:  Appreciation, allright, guess I can compliment her about something to get a conversation started. But it's still a big...'
