'I got into Mensa, so I have to have an IQ of at least 132 or 140, depending on the scale.|||This may be slightly off-topic, but I'll go ahead and answer that.  For our purposes, we'll define eugenics as the belief that the human race should be improved by encouraging the reproduction of...|||INTPs tend to be extremely independent and critically-minded, so they're less likely to conform to organized religion, which mostly argues from authority and community-oriented theology. I'd also say...|||Soldier - ESTJ. Soldier is the epitome of the stereotypical military archetype. If Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is the poster-child for ESTJ's, soldier is definitely that type. Scout - ESFP. This one...|||I'll direct you to the Tvtropes article discussing fictional INTPs. Other than that I'd say the best fictional representation of an INTP I've ever seen is Max Cohen from Pi. He's hellbent on a quest...|||One relationship which I think is interesting and which hasn't been analyzed as much as it should by the MBTI community (at least to my knowledge--if anyone has pertinent articles, feel free to post...|||I grew up with two dogs, but I recently got a cat, and I think I like her more than I like the dogs I've had. If I could have the opportunity to have a pet pigeon, I definitely would, and not just...|||I agree with many of the fundamental points of feminism (such as the notion that men and women should be given equal opportunity and should be treated equally), but there are some details I take...|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HVsgAWdQX8|||INTP male Most: INFP, INFJ, ENFP Least: ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ|||I wouldn't pressure him too much to express emotion. INTPs repress their Fe because it's severely underdeveloped, and any public display thereof will only invite regret. The only times I express my...|||I like intelligence, especially of the artistic kind, imagination, and a whimsical temperament (I guess I'm pretty attracted to Ne). I am actually pretty attracted to ENFPs, and I have had an ENFP...|||I went to a Catholic private school as well. As an atheist, the religious nature of the institution certainly conflicted with my ideals. I mainly coped with it by trying to make religious knowledge...|||I've been to a few loud parties and concerts (for science, of course). It's always been far too chaotic and far too loud. I either retreat into myself as a defense mechanism or actively seek to...|||I'm an INTP, and my mother and father are an ISFJ and an INTJ respectively, my father being the most influential.  Besides that, my two older sisters are an ENFP and ENTJ, so maybe the other sister...|||I took the test a year and a half ago as part of a college counseling course, and had no prior knowledge of MBTI at the time. The description they gave me was so accurate that it sparked my ongoing...|||I agree with feminism as the notion that females and males deserve equal opportunity. Past this, I take issue with several key points. I don't agree with the concept of patriarchy because I believe...|||I can only speak for myself and INTPs similar to me, and in doing so, I would suppose merit is the degree to which one has retained their childlike sense of wonder and creativity, always continuing...|||INTJ's are very capable of emotion, really, but they're more apt to hold convictions, as their tertiary function is Fi. Ni also gives one a sense of mysticism, which drives most of the fantasy-based...|||I like any music with a certain degree of complexity, I've found. I like classical music, and have listened quite a bit recently to Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and Shostakovich. I also really love...|||I pretty much have this exact problem. MBTI has occupied my thoughts more than I would like lately: I can't enjoy media without searching what the consensus on such-and-such character's type is, I...|||I play a few musical instruments (piano, violin, and the drums), I like to write, I play chess and Go, and when the mood strikes me I go on walks. I do a few other things, but that's what takes up...|||I was the youngest and was raised in a household with two older sisters (the oldest an ENFP and the younger one an ENTJ) and an ISFJ mother, but my INTJ father had a pretty big influence on me.|||334058  Emily Dickinson -- INFJ  Just look at that knowing smile, that talent at poetry, that keen intelligence, that self-imposed seclusion for the latter part of her life--this is the woman I...|||I don't know too many INFJs on the Internet, but the one INFJ I knew in real life and I had a falling out, so my perception of her is pretty skewed. Personally I mainly prefer INFPs.  Actually,...|||We are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anyone tell you different. -- Kurt Vonnegut|||It appears I must now drop my thinking masquerade and give in to my secret inner INFP. I suddenly have the strange urge to write a poem and cry.|||When I'm looking at something, I don't see the thing itself. I see its chemical makeup, or I see the chemical reaction that's causing it to happen. When I feel cold, I imagine heat leaving my body...|||Assuming I could guard myself against hostile environments, I would want to go back to abiogenesis so I could study exactly how life came to be. I've also always wanted to go back to the Manhattan...|||I've heard that the Internet is a very introverted intuitive place, and I think it's really telling that the top pinned thread on this subforum is about how the ESFJs never post here.|||Te (Extroverted Thinking) (55%)  your valuation of / adherence to logic of external systems / hierarchies / methods  Ti (Introverted Thinking) (95%)  your valuation of / adherence to your own...|||Eugenics is flawed for three major reasons (and for our purposes, I will define eugenics strictly as controlled breeding for the purpose of improving a population, although I know there are many...|||Yeah, I noticed you had an INTJ and ISFJ too.  My parents actually get along really well. They've been together for a really long time, and I've never noticed any serious friction between the two...|||I've tested all of them.  Dad: INTJ (And a pretty prototypical one at that.) Mom: ISFJ (Although I always assumed she was an extrovert.) Sister: ENFP Sister: ENTJ|||As a member of Mensa, I recommend you don't waste your money. Most of them are either incredibly conceited or involved with some pretty fringe stuff (there are subgroups dedicated to conspiracy...|||My favorite directors are Darren Aronofsky and Stanley Kubrick, so naturally I'm more into surreal films. Certainly if films are more abstract and open to interpretation, I can think a bit more about...|||I have a lot of work I need to do today, so I'm going to get right to it so that I don't have to worry about it later.|||Clearly the only acceptable religion for an INTP to follow is the Deist Cult of Reason.  283170  Hail the Supreme Being. Hail Robespierre.|||I generally like girls who are intelligent and introspective (maybe a bit awkward), with a quiet and understated personality.

I wholeheartedly embrace the position that government exists to protect the liberty of the people, and I support any system of government that...|||This is where cognitive functions tend to stumble. Of course INTJs are logical; introverted thinkers, especially intuitives, are the most predisposed to thinking logically instead of emotionally....|||Very rarely do I feel stupid around other people. I may reach an impasse with others, but usually if they show inordinate confidence in their view and ridicule mine, they're wrong and only need to be...|||-- What's your type? Pretty firmly INTP.  1. Are your sentences short or long? Are you straight forward or avoid or divagate around the subject? I'm pretty straight forward, although if there are...|||I like how this thread has turned into a discussion of OP's torture of spiders.|||I've heard a lot about INTP's emotional outbursts, and so I think they're probably relevant to the discussion.  Essentially, a majority of the time, INTPs project, and sometimes internalize, the...|||Considering there were approximately 11000 people born on the day I was born, I'm not sure if it levels the playing field too much.  Anyway, I'm with everyone else here that numerology tends to be...|||Although I wouldn't mind that, my messiness, procrastination, absent-mindedness, and tendency to never finish anything I start attest to my identity as a perceiver.|||I've developed my Te pretty well through my admiration of historical INTJs and the magnificent bastard archetype. I also like to think of myself as not terribly far from the INTJ type, seeing as how...|||Everyday when I wake up I make mental plans to take over the world, but I never really get around to it.|||People say I'm pretty funny, but I guess that's because my entire life has been a battle to intellectually one-up my INTJ dad.
