I (thankfully) never fell into the INTP failure/no motivation trap. I have even been called "conscientious" by a few people, a label that I reject. Instead, I credit it to my neuroticism, a trait MBTI does not account for. I do not have a conscientious motivation to do a lot of things, but I...

For a comedian, here's a NTP dividing difference: INTPs have very funny minds but struggle to deliver jokes; ENTPs are much better with delivery. Other difference: ENTPs get the girls.

Several years ago I thought that the anti-political correctness movement was just a right-wing fad that would go away soon (and, in addition, that PC itself was insignificant). That turned out wrong...

I've read a couple anecdotal accounts of INTPs who are almost obsessed with ENFJs. I think I have a similar interest in ENTJs. I don't know very many of them and I have never known a female ENTJ, but when I do know one I end up developing a deep, one-sided loyalty to the person. And I very...

An avatar that makes me cringe-laugh? You'll do fine here! Welcome to the forums. Any specific plans for the proposed video games?

Marked "some".

I don't believe I've seen you before. Moar pony members? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csO8_NCaYFI

Just because this is an MBTI forum and MBTI is based on some of Jung's ideas doesn't mean that we have to buy Jung's batshit crazy idea that everyone is part of a hive mind controlled by...nobody. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_descent . That accounts for a lot of evidence...

Meh, I'd call that more existentialism, but at some point the line between it and nihilism becomes blurred. ___ As for advice to the OP: I'd encourage you to start reading the French existentialist works, although perhaps I give that advice far too often :) You're approaching the...

Does it really imply that? I always thought of the concept of "legacy" as just an attempt to avoid the conditions set at the top of your post by giving the subject a meaning to life (and death). The objective validity of legacy a solution matters little; even one's memory is not eternal, after...

Actually, you can call yourself a genius if you simply get a score of 145+ on the Stanford-Binet. Or maybe you have to also send an application to the USGD (United States Genius Department).

Yes, in a way you're right. But you shouldn't think that our concerns over emotional matters due to a lack of physical suffering is a bad thing. When survival is at stake, the mind doesn't care much about emotional problems. It's called the "Hierarchy of Needs"...

On an airplane flight I once got a bag of peanuts that was labelled "WARNING: Produced in a facility that packages nuts." Ya don't say.

INTPs and ENTPs dominate the internet. The ENTP forum imploded a while ago and the refugees came here. The internet is too dark a place for most SFs.

Because you have nothing better to do with your time. Why have great questions of "Why?" gone unsolved for over 2000 years?
