I agree. That strange rope around his waste really isn't his best look..

Firstly, even if it was true that type can be temporarily "faked" by acting, that does not automatically negate type's existence -- nor does it mean that in non-acting conditions, said actor's type cannot be determined. It would just imply that to get the actor's real type one would have to get...

For the interest of this particular forum, and what an INTP truly looks like, This is someone I am almost completely certain is an INTP: Ti dominant: Matthew Gray Gulbler (Dr.Spencer Reed from Criminal Minds) Matthew Gray Gubler - interview - YouTube This is not someone Podlair has...

Lol Jim Carrey and Mike Myers might comply, but there's no way you'd get Michael C. Hall or Marshall Mathers to comply. Yes. And the whole faces, along with body language is *meant* to be taken into account. ;p For instance, the eyes cues should be referenced along with the mouth cues (this...

Oh! That wasn't at all intentional. ;p But the people I am referring to are the actual human beings, yes. I'll edit in their names to dispel further confusion. Thanks :3 Actually, this is also why I'm posting this -- to ask for your second guessing. I don't consider myself all that versed in...

Ne dominant Eyes: Mike Myers Exclusive Mike Myers Interview - Shrek the Third - YouTube His eyes scatter around the room as he talks, animated, interested. They appear completely comfortable and loose. You can see that he wears his eye on his face, as opposed to Ni dom/aux who keep their...

The Perception Functions can be seen most clearly in the eyes, as the eyes are what we primarily use to perceive. I used only male examples to minimize the variables present in this demonstration (not trynna be sexist :phear:). Now, Ni comes paired with Se - and thus Ni will also show Se eyes...

Note: This is an independent thread I am making from my own observations & experience with the phenomenon as of today. The samples presented will be some of the clearest to see the differentiation in, but keep in mind the distinctions are often more subtle than this. This is just an exercise in...

*sigh* ...

You're welcome, BAP. :) And well, as per a recent thread: There are indeed similarities between functions (Ne and Ni share a lot in common, for instance) so it's only natural that you would expect to score some percentile in them on a test of this sort -- especially when the questions used to...

Welcome! That's an interesting phrasing, one of the better ones I've seen. I wonder about better phrased questions too. I think that if tests *must* be made and can't be eliminated (because not everyone is predisposed to self-analyze & will look into in deeply) then it should: 1) Be designed...

Zionoxis & Dr.Freeman have the best so far, lest by some technicality were not grantable. But really, in that situation I'd first try to have a long chat with the Genie, ask him the extent of his powers, how specifically he can grant wishes, how he became a genie in the first place, and so on...

But he said... That he identifies with Si Te. :confused:

Interesting way to look at it. Mm, and if you could see the inside, you would also have awareness of the outside, because the inside begets the outside as an extension of it's causality. I don't see much use in the external approach aside from navigating through a new situation when there is no...

Puffyyy!!

Brilliant! That was a great post Cheese. ^_^ You did a much better job of explaining what I was trynna say (regarding ENTP/INTP) c.c Thanks for the links too! @ BAP: Pertaining to brain use, yea, I think it's true that we all use all parts of our brain (our brain tissue would probably die if...

I have the same issue with them... =x .. .. How's about I propose something here. If you'd (or others) like to learn more about people reading, without going through Podlair's process I can try and relay what I know thus far. I am still learning, but the most practical way to do this would be...

That would be an important next step, yea. The test conducted by Nardi wasn't specifically looking for anything -- as much as just observing the brains of students who are (to the best of his knowledge) of a certain Type, and see what emerges. What emerged was quite interesting. I think you'd...

I actually agree entirely with Adymus' thread. I posted this because his thread is sadly too long for the average attention span.. and yes, in hopes of reigniting the flames of critical typological analysis. Also, the brief summaries of the 8 Functions that do exist out there, such as on...

Mmm, well Pod'lair actually answers that (by this i mean, has a logic model to explain it - whether true or not) since it is both behavioral and sensory. The sensations are directly linked to cognition and thus behavior -- so in other words, if one visibly shows cues of being an INTP, they will...

Hilarious avatar. ;p

Mm, well these theories were created by people who've observed reality. They are patterns which can be physically seen in people to hold true. But so long as your understanding remains entirely theoretical, what they're talking about won't make sense to you. Jung developed these theories from...

I have two ways to answer this: #1: Addressing this brain study - Dario Nardi's results showed that everyone with Ne (even in an inferior position), displayed a Christmas-Tree pattern when brainstorming. And everyone with an Ni preference (even in an inferior position) displayed a Ni...

Thanks. I hope this helps others too. Ah, excellent. If you relate to all four of those, then that's a good sign your type is not too far off. :3

Type is observable at infancy, and in some cases more accurate than adulthood. This is because children are transparent and easier to read - both in motives and behaviors. If you know what to look for, you can identify a child's type based on what is motivating their impulses. @ Garham...

*agrees with sammael* Ne likes to fly/explore -- and dominant Si would be like a lead weight tying it down. However.. This doesn't sound like an ISTJ in the first place. What are you basing his type on?

I'd probably say the same, hehe.. As for who smiles most, I can't really say for sure. But I don't think FJs have as big an advantage as suggested in this thread. They can also be quite frustrated with life in general, and even with their own self-obligation to be polite, and be unhappy people...

I'm not sure this has anything to do with INTPs or INFJs at all.. I think either/both can be the beneficiary/benefactor given the individual. There are manipulative INFJs who use others, and there are INFJs with low esteem who generally get taken advantage of. There are INTPs who are cold and...

There are resources all around on the 8 functions & MBTI, but for those who want a quick crash course, this thread is for you. It can't be simplified much more than this. Premise: The idea is the psyche is divided into "Perception" and "Judgment" processes. Now perception is how your mind...

Depression can lead a lot of people to exhibit apparent "INTP" traits. For instance, Introversion. A lot of depressed extroverts will seem like introverts, especially if they're chronically depressed. Simply being withdrawn from society means little -- and any type can withdraw from society for...

Don't worry. If they took an online test, their result means close to nothing. I'm sorry but the brain is far too complex to be understood by a simple questionnaire. If someone wants to have legitimate insight into any field, they require immersion and deep understanding. That goes for typology...

From my experience, I've seen type is something Nature based. A child is born with a disposition, and even before it begins to crawl it will exhibit it's preferences. When it learns to walk, it'll automatically follow the modus operandi embedded within it and exhibit it in the way it plays and...

I suspect the OP is using lowercase i to indicate moderate introversion - which is likely how s/he percieves hirself (between INTP & ENTP). Also, s/he is making the assumption that just because s/he loves mainstream music, other INTPs do too. This is wrong in various premises. Firstly :: the...

who said they do? o.O

It is safer to converse with someone online than it is offline. People in real life have tangible ways to harm you while someone online has no control over you aside from what you give them. So as long as you're not silly enough to arrange a meeting with an online person without first confirm...

Wait, wait. You got something good going on here, but don't kill it just yet. After the world is nuked, or even before that, we work on bioengineering better human beings with augmented intelligence and livespan, then repopulate the earth. It's like Noah's arc, except better. :elephant: But...

Mmm, lemmy think. There are various ways to go about this domination. In no particular order: A. We build a robot empire by first building a robot-factory-making robot to do the building for us. This bypasses the manual labor issue and is very efficient. B. We use humanity's weakness against...

Dead? :3 (Hermit is good though.) - On what are you basing your own conception of INTP? - And how do you know the misconception lies in others' if theirs differs from yours? - On what basis do you assume the members here are INTPs? - On what basis do you believe the threads you post in are an...

@ Cheese - Glad you enjoyed it. ^^ As for the exercise... "In the city of Trousers, down Crapper Rd lived a rather unhygienic boy who spent every evening on his underwear computer." @ Neurasthenia - Ok. :3

*nods* More research and more refined tests are definitely needed. I suppose it's difficult to get funding though. There don't seem to be very many people who believe there's something there & would donate money toward research. He mentioned he bought the equipment using a teacher's award. If...

As much as my own intuition agrees with this perspective, and as much as it makes sense to me that type would be a lifelong thing, it is still fundamentally an assumption some typologists make. It may be possible to verify this in the future, but it would be one of the last things to be...

Um.. of course. No worries at all. ^^ I am glad you took that in good humor O: Almost didn't post it.. c.c (apologies if it was a bit too snarky. =p) (i'll shut up now..)

Glad that helped. =) I must say though, this guy's "style" is not textbook-dry, he's actually quite laid-back and chatty in his approach and even his book. The whole session is very sociable and he talks about the social dynamics of what he saw for most of the video. I would think it'd be very...

Well, most of the Podlair members have been banned from this forum.. c.c But I asked Adymus yesterday and he said they're deciding to do things differently regarding the e-book. I am not sure what that means exactly. I'll let you know if/when it comes out. :kilroy:

Sure :3 Probably, yea. MBTI received even more attention that Jung's work because MBTI did that very thing: simplified. It condensed Jung's work and left out all the important bits in order to give it a marketable, quick-and-easy form. =/ But if typology reaches hard-science, then it would grow...

1) Fund immortality research projects. 2) Fund research toward neuroscience. 3) Give some of it toward Cog's robotic empire. :borg0: 4) Buy a TP1-001 Mechanicalchaser. :king-twitter:

That would indeed be interesting. I wonder what it'd be like to be female.. c.c Well perhaps, but a mutation would occur for the next generation, no? As far as you go, your genetics will stay the same during the course of your life - hence your personality, if indeed genetically defined...

Mhm.. "why" is a good thing to ask. Every assumption typology makes requires deeper investigation to confirm whether there is a realistic base for it. There are too many loose ends. But, if you haven't yet seen this thread - http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=11573 - some people are...

True. Though I would argue that finding the link between cognition & behavior would give a full understanding of both. You can't truly understand behavior without understanding where, cognitively, it is emerging from. Behavioral typology without neuroscience will always be incomplete - because...

Mmm, doesn't it? It's impossible to change from male to female - though they share substantial similarities. (transgender operations don't get rid of your chromosomes in every cell of your body) I think the answer to whether personality type doesn't change over your lifetime depends on...
