The locus of conflict between humans comes from expectations. One expects another to think, feel, or behave in a certain way. They expect that ideals of 'ownership' will be respected by others. This causes tension between people. The truth is that no one owes anything to anyone, and no one has...

If we all realized that the concept of entitlement is an illusion, then humans would be able to live more in peace. However, if we realized that the affinity for harmony is a subjective bias based on maintaining a tribal infrastructure, we could transcend beyond primal social dynamics and begin...

Hi there :) Yeah, I agree - it probably wouldn't be helpful to research the inverse type of one's self. All the 16 types have different characteristics. In theory, the closest type to a TiNe is a FeSi (same order of function pairs). Fe is a very different function from Ti though, so it's likely...

mm yea ^^ not all the time, but in the right mood we can be.

How to tell if an INTP cares about you: They'll complain about you a lot. They'll worry about you. And they'll tolerate your presence or perhaps even be willing to talk to you. They'll also poke you at random. :kodama1:

*hi-fives NullPointer* I do like the way you think ^^ Ideally nanites could repair any degraded substance in the body, thus leading to immortality.

.. perhaps you are speaking in terms of the uncertainty principle? I think that someday we'll find that this principle is simply a misunderstanding about the existence of a thing. The standard model seems too rough an approximation for clarity. What is a down quark? What is the property of...

Occam's Razor = Essential for Ne users to comprehend reality in any sort of reasonable way.. otherwise the possibilities are endless >.>

They just don't fathom the omnipotence of the Dark Lord.. who shaped the lands of Middle-Earth and moved half the symphony of the Ainur in the great places of Eru! *sigh* ah the incompetence of humans and small woodland creatures ~,~

.. I just began reading Tolkien's Simarillion - and now know the true magnitude of your power o.o! *marvels in the greatness of Melkor*

hmm.. seems like there's so much improvement that could be made - really only limited by one's own imagination/comprehension :D Assuming I can target microbiology, I would first modify or replace the krebs cycle so that energy production was self-sustainable for long periods of time, and there...

Hi there serenesam, welcome to the forum! Your signature made me smile - happens to be my favorite quote of all time ^^

Well, for one thing, I don't believe in marriage, so it wouldn't work out so well to marry anyone >.> actually, I don't believe in formal relationships of any kind.. Besides that, I wouldn't want to live like the British royals do. I prefer a simple lifestyle, nomadic even. The social attention...

oh ok - you're welcome ^^ *now wants a cosmic cat to add to cat-lady collection!*

Yes, in general that's one thing that happens. But there's also the oscillation of Ti and Fe - Fe will cause us to be emotionally expressive and connect, but then eventually the reason of Ti will prevail and we go into a receding state of evaluating our emotions. If we find that our...

Hi there MaryJane :) This actually sounds a lot like most relationships I've been in (except for the same-type partnership I'm in now). As an INTP, sometimes I really just need time alone to think, and I see attachment in the traditional sense as unhealthy at best. People of other types...

Evil is just like good.. a relative concept. In reality, there are many things that are thought of as 'evil' by one group of people and as 'good' by another group. The wars the U.S. has been fighting in the Middle-East are an example. Many people thought American soldiers were doing something...

Polaris Yeah, exactly :) Even though the cognitive functions can draw distinctions between different people's thought processes, we are all essentially human and driven by the same things. As you said, the whole idea of 'difference' is a subjective construct. All of us change and adapt...

^ this. I agree, a truly beneficial socio-intellectual relationship is one in which both people carry each other. Without somewhat equal contribution from both individuals, the relationship would become one-sided and neither person could learn as m uch. Dynamic growth and movement in any...

^zomg yes!

Happiness is a completely relative state. It is triggered by different events, and probably feels somewhat different for everyone. imo, there is nothing absolute or even objective about it, just like any other emotion. My question is, why are humans so interested in being happy? Why is "the...

imo, it's naive to think that any one person is that much different from all the rest. Pieces of each of us are scattered throughout the human race. We desire to be different, we compare ourselves to the handful of people that surround us and draw the conclusion that we are unique from most...

Marriage is just like anything else humans create in order to maintain their collective illusion of "society". People get married for different reasons, all of them arbitrary in respect to the objective reality of the universe. Society instills the thought that marriage is 'just how things...

:balance: yay for Magic!

It sounds like you and she misunderstand where each other is coming from. You may have a lot of interests/views in common, but essentially your psychological functions are incompatible somehow. You could try getting to know each other to a deeper level. Something that may make it work more...

I agree with your point here, I've been somewhat disappointed about the relative lack of serious intellectual posts on here. Also, when someone does present a scientific or philosophical theory, there are markedly fewer responses to their thread than the countless 'just for fun' threads. It...

Re: What Are INTP's Passsionate About? ^ this :) I'm passionate about: - Understanding reality in the finest detail possible. - Personal development and self-betterment. - The growth and development of those I love. - Creative endeavor - mostly art and writing. There have been several times...

That's why I don't really trust written questionnaires. How would one's ability in math predict their personality type? Ability in any academic subject is more about educational background, influence of culture and family, personal goals, and interest. If there were to be any correlation...

imo, Architect has given a good answer to the function of Ti in a real-world setting. Ti itself doesn't seem to have any emotion associated with it. However, within the dynamic psyche, it oscillates with Fe and interacts with the other functional set in one's mind. This can create a vast array...

Sucking at math shouldn't be a factor in predicting your personality type. I'm an INTP and suck terribly at math :P I agree with what others have stated, you really have to look at the functions to know your type. To be Ti-dominant means that you have a subjective way of thinking that leads...

It's really about the specific functions. Even two NT users can be different, if one has Ni and Te and the other Ne and Ti they will probably be very different. In general, INTPs, INTJs and ISTPs tend to be similar in a lot of ways. This is because INTPs and ISTPs share the same dominant...

Yes, wanted to say, thanks Fukyo =) sry to have been trouble.

There's a reason we don't have cable/sattelite, etc. Nor do I pay much attention to the news.. which could be a bad thing in some cases. Anything new that happens in the human world, I usually only know about from my coworkers. Unfortunately that does include Dancing with the Stars and Jersey...

It's good to hear you will be providing objective evidence to back your claims. However I will still be wary of it, since it is likely in writing, you could modify it to make it look like anything you wanted. I'm not trying to start drama with you. I just want you to acknowledge that your point...

Re: Type Reading | Series Why? because I stand up for my soulmate?

Lyra mkay. See, the problem is at this point, it's your word against his. And from what I've seen, you are the only person that worked on the original project with Auburn that is saying he got his ideas from Pod'lair. Everyone else has a different story. I've seen his original notes on the...

o.o dude.. what's with the 6th grade name calling? just chill. I don't know how you can say that Auburn isn't a "truth seeker". He actively uses deduction in everything he thinks about in order to distill it down as close to the core facts of the matter as possible. In reality, no matter...

holidays.. no, just nyo.. religious arguments with people who lie to their children about bunnies who lay eggs.. it's madness.. there is no logic.. WHERE IS MAH LOGIC :ahh04:

As mentioned by others, I totally love RPGs :herzen02: I don't know how good I am in comparison to others, because I usually play alone. When playing against players that practice like every day, I kinda suck though.

Modern, Cool Nerd :cool:

I watched the documentary about this last year. It was interesting in a way, especially when they got into the relationships between the people involved.

I haven't seen it.. but from your description I can relate very much with the concept. Personally, I prefer to be an invisible observer, like a ghost. There are days when I would relate more with Damiel, and others where Cassiel's pov makes more sense. I suspect this is mostly due to the...

I think you have some good points here. The human experience is indeed one of subjectivity. There are many perceptions held by people in most cultures that seem to mask reality, to separate us from the real into a collective illusion. However, if you think about it, can a human being truly...

I tried to look at the video.. but there isn't anything there :/

That's ok.. either way, I still think it would be inaccurate to say that any specific type tends to ascribe to any specific philosophy. That is my personal opinion as well as my best educated guess. However, there could be a correlation between type and tendency toward monistic belief that I am...
