You're welcome. I guess anyway. If you get beat up, it's not my fault ;)

I go back and forth every day. The only time I'm really focused on something is if I'm working on a really interesting project. When I'm working, the world disappears. Other than that, I'm pretty unproductive because I just want to be alone somewhere thinking. Then people come and bother me, and...

Congratulations to 3 years of interacting with other smart people! I wish I had found this forum years ago.

The whole concept of telepathic communication is convoluted. You're right that what appears to be a "reading of the mind" may simply be having a similar enough thought process that you know what the other person is likely thinking. I am interested in the mind reading capabilities of INFJs...

Intellect You're very lucky to have a friend like that. I see that you are an INTJ, I have had a lot of very close INTJ and ENTJ friends and boyfriends. As Architect had mentioned previously, there is a sort of complimentary compatibility that can happen between certain types. I believe that the...

- Sports - I share your sentiment entirely on this one. If I feel like watching a herd of gorillas beat on each other while fighting over a ball, I'll just go to the zoo. - Concerts - Yeah, concerts suck. I just can't imagine how people can have fun getting into a big group, becoming...

Architect, thank you for taking the time to describe your INTP relationships and compare them briefly with other types as well. I found your answer about "subspace carrier frequency" communication particularly interesting. I have been debating with myself whether that type of communication is...

I have had a lifelong curiosity about what makes different people compatible or incompatible and have done a lot of people watching and studying of my own relationships to try and figure it all out. I believe that the degree of compatibility between two people is dependent at least in part on...

What I find interesting about this is that so far, the only colors that have been chosen were at one time my favorite color. I wonder if there is a correlation between your MBTI type and the tonal range of colors you find favorable. I do believe I recall an article I read a while ago where it...

Yeah that's really me. If you don't believe me, I can always PM you some more pics of me. I hate the fact that women are stereotyped as being clingy and emotional. Then again, I tend to take people by surprise because that's what they expect from me, but they get the opposite. I do like being...

Ted talks are great. I especially like the ones about cosmology, astronomy and physics. Especially when it's professor Cox talking ;) There should be more hot physicists and less movie stars on TV.

Sounds like the relationship I have with my mother. She's an ENFP, but the F is probably her most apparent trait. It's best to ignore people like that as much as possible when they talk about how they want you to behave. With my mother, whenever she brings up that I should be "married to a rich...

I know a lot about new cancer treatments and research, but what you are asking here is more of a social question, "How do I act around someone with a terminal illness without offending them?" That I can't really answer for you. Just be yourself, be nice, it's probably ok to ask questions, but I...

BigApplePi Thanks for attempting an analysis. It does seem like his theory (if you can call it that) is disjointed at best, if I ever have time I'll research his claims more closely. However, with a fulltime job, freelance business, old parents to take care of, and community service work, I...

Architect Good to hear your analysis on this. What I had derived from his explanation (this video and others combined with what he had written to me) was that the zero time aspect of the speed of light in the Lorentz equation relates to E=mc2 in that the conversion of matter to energy actually...

hmm, well maybe 30%... or 90%. The point is, I'm more dangerous. Yes indeed, because I appear ever so manly. lol.

Tardigrades are fascinating. Their ability to endure cryptobiosis really challenges our understanding of the limits of life. It made me laugh when he related the state of tardigrades under a microscope to Eastern philosophy. It's a valid point, but it was still funny.

I've talked to a lot of people that experience the same thing as you've described. I've heard of light therapy being used to treat it successfully. Vitamin D supplementation also helps in some cases. Just like any other type of depression, different things work for different people. Medication...

Hell no, most INTPs completely disregard social rules because we understand that they are nothing but nonsense. It's only the weak-minded who rely on rules, because they can't figure out how to behave on their own, just like sheep taking cues from a herding dog.

I've talked to this guy who has come up with some very interesting ideas about a unified theory. He's not a physicist, but an artist apparently, so I'm skeptical of his work. However, his ideas seem to make sense in a very theoretical way. From what he is saying in this video, what do you think...

No... at least I don't think so.

I would absolutely love to hang out in space. That's actually one of my dreams, to go to space and stay there as long as I can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJ_0PeIGhY

Hello iamgoogly, welcome :) I am really fascinated that you are married to an ESFJ. That's like, opposite sides of the spectrum! If you don't mind me asking, do you and your spouse see the world in completely opposite ways? Does their emotional state bother you? Seattle is gorgeous, lucky you...

I think I understand what you're saying. Love in the attachment sort of sense can cause endless pain. I know for me, there is a constant struggle between the side of me that wants to be loyal to the people I love, and the side of me that desires knowledge and freedom. I always idealized a life...

Why don't you stay where you are until you have a stable job. That way, you can potentially save up money for a nicer place in the long run. From the sound of it, I don't know how likely anyone is to buy the place you're at now. Mold, shitty windows, noisy neighbors, etc. are all things that...

Sorry, I tend to be very naive when it comes to things like this. *sigh* Some say that's part of what makes me cute. ProxyAmenRa you make it exceedingly tempting for me to be flirty and show off... exceedingly tempting. However, I know how I tend to go overboard, and well, I'll probably get in...

Well I looked up the definition of that term. I have a lot of pictures of myself with old people, but I don't think that would suffice for proving that old ladies want to adopt me unfortunately. Now if you want proof that I'm cute, I've got tons of pictures :D But then again I already have an...

Yup, adorable in fact. I'm sorry, what does "Screenshot or it didn't happen" mean? You asking for a picture or something?

MGS is a pretty cool series. I'm not all emotional about it like all my boyfriend's friends who come over and end up crying at the end of each game... but yeah it has a great plot line. I think Hideo may be an ENTJ or ENFJ.

oooohhh, untrustworthy much? :phear: lol, kidding. I know what you mean, I just find that I'm really trustworthy when I love everybody. On the days where I want to exterminate the human race though, don't tell me any secrets.

I think in order to be eccentric and still acceptable, you need to be intelligent but not take yourself too seriously. If you're weird in a funny way, then people are more comfortable about being around you. I'm pretty eccentric, but most people love me (every old lady I've ever met wanted to...

:D That's totally awesome. I bet that made the teacher feel stupid.

No, never made it through an Ayn Rand book, I find her writing dry. However, I'll have to take a look at Anthem, since I'm curious about how much my ideas mirror it. I would venture to guess that Anthem is based on the ideas put forth in communism, since most of Rand's books are based on a...

My height is 5' 7", weight 145lbs. I don't have any excess body fat though. I was studied a while back by a dermatologist who does research on body type and how it relates to skin type. He said I have several interesting genetic mutations, one of which is denser muscle mass without the presence...

Most trustable type, hmm... an INTP on a non-misanthropic day.

hahaha Yes!

Sure thing. I always say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... or smarter. I am almost always in a catabolic state. I eat between 800 to 1000 calories per day, usually limiting myself to one or two meals. Between meals I make sure I fast for at least 8-10 hours. I also fast for 24 hours...

I don't get the appeal of being with someone emotional. Doesn't that get annoying really fast? I will take a T over a F any day.

I've noticed that my ability to detach from emotions lessens when I haven't had enough sleep, or if I have low blood sugar. My cerebral cortex seems to be more affected by lack of sleep or glucose than the reptilian structures of my brain are. Stress can effect it as well. For IDBM, I have an...

That's interesting, I always thought it was common knowledge that fasting increased lifespan. I was just talking about that in another thread on here last week, I believe someone else brought the topic up. But yes, I have a unique condition that requires me to limit both my food and liquid...

Well that's true in a way. But if I was gone for more than a couple days I'd get tons of homework sent to my house.

I accept the premise that God talks to people, cares, etc. because he does "talk" to me. No, it's not a voice, but more of an intuitive perception. The things I know about the universe were taught to me by God when I asked him to teach me. There is no way I had enough knowledge or am perceptive...

Yes, I am a girl. That makes me 20% more dangerous than your average INTP ;)

Good point you've brought up here. I actually use a catabolic/fasting state to lengthen my life span. By all rights, I should have been dead years ago, but I'm still alive and able to function. In cases of severe metabolic disorders, eating too much can in fact lead to death.

If you are having the experience that I have had before, where you come up with an idea, and within a couple of days you see your idea on TV, or in a magazine, or you hear people talking about it, then that's just part of your intuitive nature. There are a lot of times I'm talking to someone and...

What about nutritional drinks for old people? They have all the protein, vitamins and fiber you need. They also help you gain weight. The ones I've tasted are kinda nasty. I don't know if there's a brand that actually tastes good.

Do I have any amazing ideas? Interesting question. I have a lot of insightful observations of the universe. The idea I have for fixing the state of the world is to change the underlying social structure and ideology, in effect using people's innate desire to "belong". People are taught to focus...

You scored highest on the Dynamism reward drive. Apparently this means I like change. And I do.

Irukanji That's because I can read your mind... I'm doing it right now... hmm, fishsticks, batman and, hey now, that was a dirty thought :phear: hehe
