Which function is this example? Every time I learn a new word or look it up, I instantly imagine a visual situation where I'm using the word in context. The reason I ask is because I can see elements of Ni and Si in this example. I consider my Ti working like a maze. I take one path and when...

I sometimes feel a little social anxiety when I smoke if I'm in a situation where I don't know what to do. But it does help me to learn I just have to get over the initial discomfort. Personally, I have those "down" moments sometimes too, but they never last. I would recommend that you just...

I had a class of 30 growing up from 1st to 6th grade. We all grew to know each other pretty well so being friendless was not an issue. I was always the kid who was bullied growing up. I was never an extrovert at any point in my life I don't believe. I too was something of a prodigy, I always...

I'm 20 and I'm just now starting to grow some strings on my chin which are barely noticeable. I have very little hair, even on my arms and legs so shaving hasn't been an issue for me yet. I'm trying to make my hair grow so I can actually look my age and people will stop thinking I'm 15...

For all the people around my age group who watched DragonBallZ as a kid watch this video!! The most hilarious video I've ever seen on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYxCrugJj_o

Well let's see, there's NT rationality, P over J which makes a big difference in terms of being open-minded, and low Fe which helps remove irrational emotions. These facts help us to learn easier than any other type so it only makes sense that we may be smarter. Then you take into account Ti...

Well, I have always thought that I did not use Ni or Ti at the same time. I have learned to use Ni (if I'm INTP) or Ti (if I'm INTJ) at some point, but I do know for sure that I have always preferred logic over things irrational since I was a kid. I am fairly sure that I am Ti dominant but I...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_functions#Lenore_Thomson I find this very interesting. It integrates all of the functions into one process, instead of the normal theory that "shadow functions" operate subconsciously which I disagree with. This model has the shadow functions operating...

1. All my functions even Fe and shadow functions, act as the situation needs them. It's a natural process as a whole even if I'm better at certain functions over others, which is reflected in my personality. Nothing is "artificial". 2. That's true but how would one take into account a...

I don't want to play unless I know I'll win either. I feel like "if it's not my thing, who cares if I lose". I can't stand arguing with people who like to argue because they're upset. I'm still gonna win though! lol. I'll always find an excuse for losing because I can't come to terms with...

Well said. I'm impressed by your honesty. I very much agree with the bold as I've thought about this while taking these tests. After taking the initial mbti test once I've always felt like trying to take it again wouldn't do me much good because of what you stated in bold, regardless of my...

Oh boy, probably the hardest question I've been asked since I joined this forum. In terms of foresight, it's like I make a bunch of subconscious connections instantly. I get an idea and the connections go ding, ding, ding, ding, in a matter of seconds without me actively thinking about it...

Lol, wouldn't have it any other way thanks, besides I wouldn't care in the least what I was saying to you, I am an arrogant, egotistical jerk after all. And no I don't think MBTI is flawed, I just have my own view on things. I'm just trying to figure this out, the longer this conversation goes...

I think you might even set a trend with those leopard skin loincloths. Lol

I'll sum it up simply; Time flies when you're having fun and goes by really, really slowly during everything else. IMO trying to interpret time is a futile effort because it is a constant. The sun will come up in the morning and then set that evening. How boring. So yeah trying to understand...

Wanna hangout? U had me at ripped booty shorts. ;) I wear black slim jeans for pretty much all my outfits. I have very few t-shirts and I hardly ever wear them by themselves. I usually have a hoody on for every occasion (soooo convenient). I like stripes and I only really wear black. I have...

It's hard to say if Ti would "overpower" my Ni because their both dom (I think) and they operate separately. That's how it's possible for me to have fantastic visions of the future but still be realistic about the way I go about trying to achieve my goals. I see my successful future but then I...

The paradoxes are in my first reply to your post I gave you two, and paradoxes are very Ni, if you can't get them it's because your Ni is probably not developed enough. And I am Ti-dom. The stories are real but whether you believe them or not, it is and example of Ti. Since I couldn't truly...

Wow such thievery going on here. Anyway back to the original thread. I realize I need something new and entirely different. Not just different pursuits in similar interests, but something that I would have never considered before to get my motivation back up. Maybe I'll take up photography...

Puffy I wish I was sensitive enough to consider myself and INFJ but... that just isn't likely lol. I am the type of person to not feel anything at a family member's funeral (its happened several times before). That being said I understand people very well, just not in an empathizing way...

I highly disagree with your thought about Ne being more future-oriented. Not only that, what are these Ni "alternate perspectives on things"? "It's holistic and focuses on one thing and one picture. It's about the integration of details to suit one meaning." -Words "It's known ideas...

Ni is very future-oriented. It's taking an idea and realizing its future effect. I sometimes say things like: This will probably end up... or So and so will because... etc. It's known ideas contributing to an image of the immediate (or not so immediate) future. In my case, it's like a live...

INTP/INTJs have plenty of other reasons for why they would be confused of their type besides just the dominant function. Btw one of my best adult friends is an INTJ and I can observe him. I don't think having Ti/Ni dom is general for either an INTJ or INTP. Each person is different if you...

That may be true but keep in mind that the rest of an INTJ's functions are Te, Fi Se in that order. Because I don't use Te to back up Ni I am not a real INTJ. I have the effects of a dominant Ni. And when I look at these descriptions it explains that the things I have been contributing to Ti...

It's not a matter of me just looking at my test results and seeing something different. I use Ni almost as much as I use Ti. I have pretty much all of the traits both positive and negative of an Ni dom, such as getting frustrated with slower people (that's a big one). I've posted some links to...

Ok, this is my third update on this theory and it's a lot simpler. Marijuana turns P to J and J to P.

Is it possible to have a shadow function in addition to my dominant function (such as my Ti) be close to dominant? I was just looking at my Functional Development Test results http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=10737 and noticed that my use of Ni (at 46.4) was pretty close to my use of...

I'm saying that weed can cause psychosis, but he is so depressed psychologically that it is the weed that is putting him over the top. I wanted him to understand that it was the weed that is making him worse. I know plenty of people who smoke literally every time they come down from their high...

Y'all are missing the point. It's not really about the weed. It's about otherside coming to the realization that it is not the weed that is the cause of his problems. It sounds like he is blaming his problems on drugs. Most people go through something hard at some point, and most people get...

You said yourself that after you lost your job and had a kid it was traumatic for you. That means that some people are more psychologically fragile than others. I just don't see how you can see it's the weed that's giving you these negative feelings. If anything it only amplified how you...

Hmm? How can you relate your marijuana use to long-term psychosis when it has no real long term effects. Paranoia and psychotic symptoms are completely temporary while high. I don't know how you can "slip into psychosis". The problem sounds like it's coming from yourself and the choices that...

Mine is an INFP. Not much love for the ESFJs I see lol.

Understood. I've never really liked the present, maybe that's why I'm so oblivious to it. I think I need to realize that my future is also my present, lest I live my life completely oblivious to the "stupid things".

It seems like whenever I think I've found an answer it raises two more questions. And when I try to answer one of those questions, I get another two questions. All the facts and knowledge I attain makes me realize two things: The limitations of human knowledge and perception are unknown...

I'm very good with names and faces. I pretty much never forget a face. I might forget a name if I did not pay full attention when I heard it but otherwise it's very unlikely. Maybe it's my undiminished memory in relation to my youth. Sorry Jenny, and Editor lol.

Heh. How noble. 1. I wish that I had infinite intelligence. There really isn't a need to ask for another wish. Anything else I desired would be easily within reach. I could predict things by intuitively linking thoughts endlessly with perfect logic. I would finally understand God and the...

LOL, S_rabbit. Maybe you should proofread about 30 times.

I'm from the good 'ol USofA, Chicago, Illinois to be specific. I want to move to Australia though. How would I go about moving to another country?

I just don't like double-standards. As much complaining as women do about not having the same opportunities as men, they sure do take full advantage of the things men must do for women just because they are women. Not all women are like this of course.;)

I guess I see your point. Truth is I don't know the difference between "in" or "on" now. There doesn't seem to be a clear rule to follow to know when to use which, because it's possible to use both words in the same context.

How can you say that? For example, one would not hear "you can find your information IN the website."

I actually have a psychiatrist appointment at 12:30 (its 11:30 now lol) I'll probably be taking an IQ test at some point. I'm a true intellectual but I don't really know how well I'll do. If I get a high enough score I will definitely look to try to join a high IQ society such as Mensa or...

This. Except I don't do it anywhere else besides at home. Sometimes I will get so immersed in that little "movie" (as I like to call it) that I am physically acting out what I am thinking. The thing is whenever I think in this way, my thoughts are very profound and I remember things down to...

That "ground-braking" had to be on purpose. Because it is just too delightfully ironic for you to make such a rookie mistake on a thread like this.

Personally, I've come to really like the Fi and Se boosts. I'm REALLY empathetic when I'm high and also very aesthetic. It's amazing how many things I "see" when I'm high that I would normally be completely oblivious too. More people are starting to say that their functions are reversing...

I'm currently on Pokemon Online, I get on sometimes to battle competitively. I mostly only play monotype (team of only one type) and challenge cup (random teams). I'm pretty good at both as I have been #1 on the ladder for both tiers numerous times. And no, i dont have any systems I usually...

No, I am far too carefree, to get paranoid about anything. If there is a situation where a normal person would get paranoid, I immediately skip that phase and go into problem solving/damage control mode. Paranoia never even registers because subconsciously I understand that it's pointless to...

IMO, this is stupid. People will always make grammar mistakes and even though it's noticeable I don't feel the compulsion to correct someone every time they error. It's just too small or too petty of a complaint to waste my depleting energy on. The fact that there's a thread on it is...

I'm starting to think Lil Wayne is an INTP. But I'm def not sure on that one because of stage acting. He's very eccentric and smart, even though he doesn't show it, but I just don't know enough about him to be sure on this.

I like mainstream music. *Flinches. But I like classical music more. I agree with Auburn about the OP. I was a little confused when I saw the thread title because a lot of the people on this forum don't like mainstream music.
