I know you are, and the point still stands. Mental illnesses are hereditary. Don't you think that if genetic mutations just popped up like that, then it's better to curb down those which already exists, along with said genetic mutations? Genetic mutations do pop up, but hardly the way you...

As a matter of fact, you happen to be wrong. Firstly, many diseases are hereditary, and some are more prone to such diseases than others. Secondly, that the parents themselves don't have such diseases doesn't imply that they're not more prone to having such diseases. The logical argument for...

Compare an INFJ to an ISFJ and ESFJ. The two latter might understand human social rules and all of that, but do they see through it and do they know anything of the human condition, human nature itself? I think not. All intuitives are better at that. Ni often sees the unseen, it doesn't...

I take it Pod'lair are simply following tradition when they do the same thing then? I feel that Aristotles and Kant would be more likely to appreciate (and understand) Jung than Pod'lair. (If this were the case, the fault would lie within the mental facilities of Aristotles and Kant, not...

Jung typed himself as ISTP too. Keirsey identifies him as an INFJ. There's a lack of tangibility with Jung that makes me think he was INFJ. INFJs are Ni-doms like INTJs, but they lack Te, which is oriented towards the exterior and objects which makes them more empirical and lucid than INFJs...

The Bush administration was more unethical, and would perhaps be more likely to go that far. Still, this is only a possibility and guesswork. Definitely. That 9/11 was taken advantage of is undoubtedly true. But why should Silverstein be of any concern to the state? What made Silverstein...

While reading Schopenhauer's "The Art of Controversy" the thought that the Ni-confident seem to possess a keen ability to penetrate into the human psyche popped up. I base this on a few Ni-confident (i.e. dominant or auxiliary Ni) philosophers, authors and psychologists, who all seemingly had...

I wouldn't say they obsess about intelligence as much as they obsess about acknowledgement. Chris Langan, who has a measured IQ of 200 +/-10, seems to be such a case. (Curiously, it also seems that while recognition is important for those sorts of people, they will not leave their principles and...

There are a lot more assumptions you yourself base your conclusion on. What you forget is that claiming that there was a controlled demolition scenario is not simply one single assumption. It's an assumption that has to support itself on a chain of assumptions, most of them counter-intuitive. As...

Where does the al-Qaeda fit in all of this? Did Silverstein contract Mohammad Atta and co. to take suicide just so he could get the insurance money? The shmuck fooled not only the insurance companies and the whole of America, he fooled those silly Ayrabs too! :D Luck and mere coincidence is...

It depends on the focus of the forum. Forums with a focus on materialistic things are generally going to be sensor dominated. Forums about cars, clothes and such. On the other hand, forums that are oriented toward concepts are going to be intuitive. But I agree that Facebook is oriented towards...

The Stroop Effect test tests decision-making and ability to discern incongruencies. Those are the prerequisites for a good test score, at least. The function of the frontal lobe is foremostly to make decisions, f.e. discernment of right and wrong. My guess is that the ramifications of your...

She's definitely an Se user going by what she said. Breaking into houses for something minuscule, along with her reasoning "fuck it", is very Se-Fi. Her music is for sensors, by a sensor. I predict she's going to be burnt out and end up overweight. Quote me on it. You explained your...

Accomplishments and capabilities, for the most part. Relying on either is a two-edged sword: if it turns out positively, your self-esteem gets a massive boost; if it turns out negatively, your self-esteem shatters. Self-esteem, in that case, is very much like investing. Therefore, you have to...

I feel this should have been pointed out earlier. :D The OP should have rendered it something like multiple types of intelligence rather than making an attempt to separate one from the other. That does seem to fit in with the Dunning-Krueger effect. Metacognition is associated with higher...
