'Easier for whom? I've already stated that, for me, reading gender neutral language IS easier than mentally substituting the correct pronouns in every time I read something. I'd imagine it is for many...|||Yeah, that's a scenario I'm pretty familiar with.|||Most of the ones I found before were fairly small, and I can't seem to find them again this time. The one major one that peeves me off though is this one: An INTP Profile  Especially since it's by...|||You're going to make me regoogle, aren't you. :(|||Okay this is mostly just a rant, but I am SO SICK of reading MBTI type descriptions, and seeing them assume that the INTP (or other T) they're describing is male. It especially pisses me off looking...|||I find a friend or, preferably, an SO, and rant at them about it.  Rant rant rant. Stupid people! So annoying. The world is terrible. etc.  Sometimes I annoy or even scare people with my anger,...|||It's true, my results were also very accurate. However, it hardly needs to be pointed out the techniques that can be employed to write something that seems specific, but actually rings true to a lot...|||Man I am SO lazy, you don't even...|||More of a cat person myself, though I do have a deep love for german shepherds. We had them when I was a kid, and I think they're just the best dog ever. Anything small and yappy I have a very low...|||Oh god, this happens to me all the time. People think I'm disrespecting them, when as far as I'm concerned, I'm just being polite, if a little distant (usually out of respect!). It's so frustrating!...|||I suspect it's precisely because INTJs are more ordered. As much as we INTPs value truth, I think an INTP is more likely to think yep, that sounds about right to me. I'll use that as my working...|||I think most people see me as serious and intense, yes. Because this is the front I prefer to put up between myself and the ES-ness of the world. They want me to be super friendly bubbly social...|||I prefer men I date to be quite sensitive, yes. I've dated guys who act like they don't give a crap. Turns out they... actually didn't give a crap. Surprise! I've only been with one guy who would cry...|||It means we're intelligent... in the pants.|||I'm not especially afraid of death. I used to be when I was a teenager, but that was mostly because I wasn't really enjoying life properly. I probably will be afraid of it again as I get older, but...|||It's one of the many things I've thought about doing, in a maybe I should try that one day... kind of way. However, almost every guy I've been attracted to or dated has been into martial arts. I...|||As an INTP with many F-like traits, I can relate. All I can say is... stop worrying. It's just a personality test. It's just one letter, really. And you're a whole person -- one category in a...|||Oh wow, INTPs are allowed to be bit clingy? When I really really adore someone, I am like... YOU ARE SO AWESOME, be around me all the time, kay? :D (Except I also still need space, at the same time...|||I'll generally use a meh when I actually do have quite a strong reaction or opinion on something, but I already know the other person isn't going to like it. Meh is easier than I believe you are...|||Mantis, thanks for the link to that study, I could relate to almost all of it. It really doesn't surprise me that INTP women are so unliked. The qualities that I most prize in myself tend to be the...|||You've all heard of nerd baiting, right? Congratulations, you've all been INTP baited. :P|||The dust bunny on the previous page. :P  Before that though, probably when the guy I'm seeing posted a link to a youtube vid on his facebook, that had a lego robot that turned into a bridge......|||Haha, this is exactly my dating technique in a nutshell. >_<|||I am a shameless flirt when I want to be.|||Haha, no worries, the internet is an excellent place for venting. :)|||Yeah. I don't stay indoors all the time because I'm shy or intellectually curious. It's because I'm so attractive that, were I to find myself in a location too overly populated, there'd be too many...|||Pfft. I do this all the time. The SJ is the one telling me to stop wasting time and get on with the shopping. :P|||Hahaha, that description of his activities made me laugh, because it's exactly how I spend almost all of my time. I know you're not asking for advice, but I'm going to offer some anyway. :P  How...|||It's true there are disadvantages, but actually? It's pretty awesome.|||Any naturally occuring group (ie. the human race) will contain variation. Splitting that group into subgroups (ie. MBTI types) will still result in variation within those subgroups. I believe that...|||As long as it's someone whose opinion I value, then I love it. Seriously, I could just swim in compliments all day. Screw modesty, I want to hear how wonderful I am. :P|||Excelsio, that sounds like such a fun and interesting life. :proud:|||It would depend entirely on the kind of work, for me. Something where you get to look at different things every day? Awesome. Mind numbing monotony like everything I've done in a lab, ever? No thanks.|||I've known 3 other INTPs. Two of them are some of my favourite people to talk to and spend time with, I rather like them. The other one I get along fine with, in an impersonal way.|||Oldest. I have one sister who is 6 years younger than me, so I was an only child for the first 6 years of my life. From what my sis and I can work out, we think she's an ENTJ. (I am rather proud that...|||INFP, definitely. I had a lot of INFP traits as a kid that have been somewhat burned off by life. When I'm at my most vulnerable I turn into a confused INFP.  I relate well to ENTPs in general,...|||I've come to realise that I'll never be successful in jobs that require me to pretend to not be an INTP the whole time. Like when I was trying to do waitressing (hahahaha... *explosion*). So, I'm...|||Yep, I think that's the case for most INTPs. Most of us aren't really the emotionless robots some of the less mature INTPs like to believe they are.    No you. :P|||...Or I could have just said that. XD|||Certainly a lot of people think I'm smart, and in classes I have often been the one who knows all the answers without having to study. I'm not a genius. I wouldn't even say I'm intellectually...|||Ignored, defriended, never speak to them again. Easy.  Or, in the case of them being a close lifelong friend, exactly as above, but instead of Easy, read extremely painful, but done anyway.|||Or, you know, they could say oh, what's that book about? What are you studying? and actually engage a fellow human being on an intellectual and personal level... Wait no that's crazy talk! Your one...|||Just to clarify, I never said I changed everything about myself. But it's kind of hard not to be aware of whether a certain behaviour fits the type or not, and I think it's inevitable that that...|||Just gone 3:22am and I'm still not in bed, despite not getting much sleep lately. I blame everyone on this forum for being too darn interesting for me to stop reading.|||In my teens I had no sense of fashion at all, due to both confidence issues and my controlling mother being the one with the money. I just got boring mainstream stuff that was also comfortable....|||INFPs are my favourite people to be friends with. I can connect to them on a deep level (or at least the illusion of depth) in a way I can't with other Thinkers. They're just so open and honest, they...|||For the record, my comment about INTPs lacking tact was about me. It was my way of apologising for being so abrupt in my comment. That said, while I wish I had found a better way of phrasing it, I...|||Guilty as charged. :dry:  I only do it a little bit though. It's mostly because I can never really be satisfied that I've found the right type. The biggest conflict for me is whether I might...|||I'm not confident enough to persue. I want the assurance of already knowing that they're interested before I make myself vulnerable.|||I could care less seems to be a US thing. I usually encounter it online, from people I either know or have a pretty good idea are from the US. Here in Australia we say I couldn't care less, and...'
