As far as I know, a monistic belief is one that states that everything comes from one source, therefore all things are one. It sounds like you are speaking of two specific types of monism, priority monism and spiritual monism. If you are saying that your definition of a single monistic...

I'm sure you know yourself a lot better than I do, and so you may have good reason to think you have Ni over Se.. that said, you don't seem like an INFJ to me. You seem like an explorer lead, that is Se, not a worldview lead, Ni. The way your eyes seem to lead your head movement is a trademark...

Hi, actually I think it would be unrealistic to say that certain psychological types are prone to certain philosophies. I have known a lot of different types of people who ascribe to monistic beliefs.. some ENTJs, some INFJs, some ENFPs.. even I (INTP) have a type of monistic view of the...

imo, attraction is about compatibility. Compatibility is about having common ground with another individual. So the more alike two people are, the more they're going to be drawn together and enjoy one another's company. I've always been drawn to people who come off as intellectual, curious...

SeTi (ESTP) You do seem to have Se/Ni, but Se seems to be above Ni in your functional stack. You have warm articulation with emotional pushes, as well as several times when your momentum halts and you appear to do some introspective type of thinking. This indicates Fe/Ti, but Fe does seem to be...

imo, there is no such thing as choice as it is defined in the perspective of "free will". The mind, like all other things in the universe, is a product of causality. We react to things based on the preexisting patterns that define our psychology. The only thing the mind can do is associate. If...

b-but.. if one cannot succinctly describe something in words, isn't it better not to attempt to describe it, therefore risking misunderstanding by one's audience? >.> Let's see if I can give a very general synopsis of Ne vs Ni.. The difference between Ne/Si and Se/Ni can be subtle, but it is...

*Meant to reply to you about this sooner >.<* The Ne self-parody is a phenomenon where an individual will act out different scenarios in their mind, playing out what could happen in a given situation or seeing it from different perspectives. This results in the interjection of a sort of...

Cheeseumpuffs I think that sounds like a good idea. After we finish the initial videos for all the types, a more in-depth visual comparison would probably add another depth of clarity to the explanation. Thanks for suggesting this :)

fnordprefect Actually, you seem neither Ni nor Ti dominant to me. You appear to be Si dominant with Te secondary. Your eyes and facial expressions do indicate Si. Your eyes remain steady for the most part, but do not have the penetrating quality of Ni. They blink a lot as well, indicating the...

@scorpiomover Interesting, it seems phrenology is something quite different from what we're doing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology Cognitive Type does not aim (or claim) to be a method to decipher people's thoughts. It is a way to decipher the thought processes, the specific...

What you're saying here makes sense. In reality, INTPs are very emotionally sensitive people. We have Fe, and many of us tend to be out-of-touch with it for at least part of our lives. So in many cases it seems that our emotions are even more intense than other types and oscillate back and forth...

:storks: *sigh* too much drama .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This thread started out with my desire to understand the compatibility of same-type relationships, specifically those between psychic twins or as I called them parallels. My entire life, I had the intuitive notion that the perfect match for...

ooh European tour! yesh, I'm sure we'll do that eventually.. Maybe if you become famous because of Cognitive Type, we could travel as part of tours where you give lectures =D we're gonna need to live indefinitely to do everything we want to do ^^

Ink well, we have talked about meeting other INTPs.. but in truth, we're probably too lazy to make the trip >.>

Actually, I was referring mostly to emotionally. I am far too much of a free spirit to be tied down by something like children, at least not until I'm much older. It would rot me away until I had no will to live I suspect. My partner and I desire to do a lot of traveling and deep self-discovery...

^^ we do plan to..

hehe.. science =D or perhaps.. awesome/epic/complex experiments would be more accurate.

Cheeseumpuffs It's interesting to hear your experience with Ni vs Si perception. The phenomenon of staring "through" something would be especially noticeable with an INTJ, since Ni is their dominant function. (if directed at me..) why thank you :o (if directed at Auburn..) hmm, yes i agree...

Discovering truth.. and seeing the wonder in another's eyes when they realize something new. The vast, dark depths of the universe. Watching videos of earth from outside the atmosphere (so wants to see that in real life someday!) And.. this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2WBTi6xt_E

must be teh Ne eyes O.O

I don't know who created that, but it doesn't sound accurate to me. Most people differ somewhat, even within the same type, so there may be other INTPs out there with a different worldview and resulting behavior in relationships. Being Ti dominant though, perfectionism is often the aim in any...

^this.. is probably one reason INTPs tend to be frustrating in relationships. We are impossible to please, complete perfectionists, and in my experience, we're looking for deeper meaning in human interaction - in other words, love is never enough, neither philosophically or in practical...

You could be right that she's an INTP.. I don't claim to be an expert at typing by any means. Plus there's not that much footage of her talking, she is very reserved. She still seems like an explorer lead to me though, and her reactions and movements are very brisk/sharp like a Te/Fi user...

.. it must be because Auburn's typology theory is awesome ^^

Curious.. perhaps INTPs are usually a lot like INFPs in certain ways? >.> *awaits persecution for uttering such sacrilege* But, what I've read about INFPs - their idealistic nature, desiring to help people and make a difference, relying on intuition to sense the world, etc. - sounds very much...

Interesting.. it doesn't appear that either of these people are INTPs. I'd say the girl is likely a INFP. Her eyes move around a lot, as if her perception of the environment is her focus. She has buoyancy, although she seems to be shy, her movements are brisk. She seems like she may have Fi as...

hihi.. i thought you were attempting to debate with me like i suggested earlier ^^

Montresor Perhaps, and this is probably true in some cases. However, in the case of an individual who is unsure of their intrinsic identity, they might like having a replacement persona to present to the world.

Auburn umm.. it was not my intention to dispute the fact that a person's type is visible even when they are acting. My comment was a response to what Montresor said about the likelihood of individuals in the media having a desire to present their true selves to the public. It may be that a lot...

Montresor Actually, it seems like a lot of people are ashamed of who they really are. From what I've seen and studied in basic psychology, the more someone attempts to gain the attention of others, the more likely they are to feel insecure about their true self. Sometimes the desire for...

I agree with what others have said, there is no such thing as absolute right and wrong. These are subjective concepts defined by both the individual and society. I was actually having a conversation about the topic of morality the other day. The conclusion we agreed on is that the basis of...

imo, romance is a general term that can be applied to several things; a social schema, a type of resulting 'language', or an emotional response. The standard "flowers, chocolates and wine by moonlight" ideal is part of a Western social schema. I don't know specifically, but I'm sure the ideal...

I find this observation interesting. It is true that a lot of people seem to think about gender as one of the first things that defines their identity. Not so much on this forum though, it's quite refreshing to interact with people that see themselves mainly as philosophers or truth seekers.

Hi there ^^ glad you decided to join us. I hope this is not too tactless? But imo, from what I can tell from your picture, you don't seem like an INTP to me. You seem more like NiTe, an INTJ, like you say your boyfriend is. What strikes me first is your eyes, they seem to have a lot of...

hmm.. well either would work for me. CA would be preferred tho.

imo this is something specific to each individual. As far as I've seen on various forums, most INXX females say they like casual encounters, or multiple relationships. I'm INTP and quite the opposite actually. I'd say by default, I'm asexual. The thought of it really doesn't come up for me...

If I remember correctly.. you were going to get some INTPs together in California. Did that ever happen? I would be interested in something like that, and I'm pretty sure someone else I know would be too ^^

Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction

There is so much Ne in this thread.. Rainbows

hmm.. Yes, describing the difference between Se and Ne is somewhat tricky. This is especially so because different types perceive things in different ways, due to the combination of their other functions with their sensing functions. The best I can do to describe it is: As an INTP (Ti/Ne), I...

^ this. Although, I would add 'species' to that list as well. We are all conscious, living creatures.

Do you have a video of yourself you could post? It's hard to tell what your functions are just by reading what you've written here. If you do post a video, it would be good if it were at least a minute or more in duration, and you were as relaxed as possible while speaking. Besides that, the...

I am an INTP :kilroy: 1: I would describe my (more efficient) process in a subtle way as if just sharing information about myself, not expecting them to change their method, but providing an alternative that they can use if they want. It would be a bit direct for me to actually ask "do you need...

imo, this is quite probably a valid theory. It seems ridiculous to me that this theory hasn't been taken more seriously. The unfortunate biased nature of the human mind lends it to resist new ideas. Look at Copernican heliocentrism.. it took hundreds of years for this realistic picture of our...

^ this! I've experienced this most my life. My advice, start thinking about it differently. Use your Ne, have fun with this! When someone expects you to be something and you blow them away, laugh about it. You're awesome compared to most women (you have a keen intellect and a unique perspective...

imo, you're trying to live up to a social ideal that just doesn't fit your psychology. It's important to think about what will make you feel fulfilled, not where you "fit in" in the social structure. Are you enthusiastic about getting a degree in mathematics? Most people with a degree of that...
