Well I was in super rough shape when I first joined this forum and it has really helped me realize that i am not alone in my thinking and others have been to the dark places of the mind I have frequented. I also have recently found quite a few members who share some of my symptoms in regards to...

That might have something to do with the test because I have the same issues with the results it gave me. I would say I am SX dominant and not SP but the test says different. I had the same experience, I would deflect my inner emotions and depression into helping others solve their problems...

You guys have been bickering about this for a solid 2 years now. I think it should just be your respective signatures at this point. I can count 5 times, of the top of my head the number of times I have stumbled across this same debate. Architect whole-heartedly believes Larry David is an...

As it did with me. I have a great youtube clip...

I haven't gotten into Socionics yet but it is definitely intriguing. On the enneagram link I posted it gave me: SP/SO/SX. I will examine that link and site and get back to you when I do further analysis.

You had touched on this concept in Ask Architect and I was going to probe you on it further but this is something that I have observed in watching people type characters. It can't be taken at face value, there are a lot variables in play. But it is a fun discussion and I get sucked into it every...

http://similarminds.com/advtest.html this one was pretty good from this thread http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=21538&highlight=enneagram

I have been told I am a very unique INTP by a quite a few forum members. Ne dominant persona when in public, as a form of subconscious social engineering, and a huge sports nerd, who does't fit in with the jocks or the typical nerds. But to RedBaron's point I agree that we are all unique...

I am working on a research paper about THC and that is something that I have always noticed and heard from cigarette smokers is that the addiction goes far beyond a nicotine-chemical craving. It is ingrained in that person's life and becomes habit. That is why ex-smokers chew gum and sunflower...

True that. It is an extreme stance but a necessary one to convey to outsiders the difference between poker and casino games. I agree with the counter you provided. Getting the best of it by Sklansky talks about how poker is a part of the gambling family in nature but that it provides the easiest...

Hearing the song Fidelity is a landmark moment in my existence. Definite top 5 celebrity crush too. Not gonna try to type her, as I am terrible in this area, but I think INFP makes sense.

Bronto, I fucking loved that man! I identify with it 99.2%. Thought deferment is a definite part of my arsenal. I couldn't agree more with your closing sentence. Drenth's concept of working through problems in order of your functional stack applies here I think. Ti to Ne, then vetted by Si...

To start out: Master the hand hierarchy. A lot of players don't know what beats what most of the time. Master starting hand selection. Rounders, when Mike is in the restaurant with Petrovsky. Master position poker. Don't play anything but AA, KK, or QQ out of position unless you can for sure...

THC brings the conscious mind to the here and now, in general. My best cleaning, grooming, organizing, list making, random task doing, etc all have a common denominator with this gift of nature. In moderation as with all things, easier said than done.

Vince Gilligan the show's creator strikes me as an INTP when listening to his interviews. I would say that Robert Forester's character at the end could be an INTP. Taking into account his profession of keeping people hidden from society.

The Prestige is by far my favorite Chris Nolan film. Bowie as Tesla was the cherry on top of a beautifully cast sundae. I think that a top 25 or top 50 list would still be too limiting for me but they are like snowflakes, all unique and interesting but hard to distinguish when lined up next to...

O ya if your wondering that last one is totally doable all it once in the right set of circumstances with Michael Jordan and the proper amount of alcohol in his system. Probably the world's most successful degenerate gambler ever. If I play my cards right... (triple pun ftw)

-Ask Architect thread index/highlights -Withdraw funds from stock account -Add music to an ipod I bought 6 months ago... -Move to a place where driving is non-essential -Upgrade from shitty satellite 5mbps internet! Just got a mailer from a new broadband company in my area with NO DATA...

Getting the best of it by Sklansky is my favorite of his but all of his books and his publishing company 2plus2 are top notch. The poker section is good at how to self analyze your game and your mistakes, for more intermediate/advanced strategy. For basics the above are good. Dan Herrington is...

1) Rounders 2) The Sandlot 3) Pulp Fiction 4) Space Jam 5) The Count of Monte Cristo (late 90's version) EDIT: Thinking on it now my copy of The Princess Bride is feeling very offended for being snubbed so I'll give it a tie with The Count of MC at 5. BTW, sorry Aladdin but Space Jam has...

There are multiple factors at play but I have an addictive personality, as described by 3 different psychologists, and am currently addicted to THC. Being chemically addicted to THC is not very likely but definitely habitually (working on a research paper regarding this and correlation to how...

Word. Jeffery Tambor is phenomenal as per usual. "Hey now!"

All time TV favorites list in order: 1a- The Wire 1b- Breaking Bad 2- Seinfeld 3- Game of Thrones 4- Friday Night Lights 5- Mad Men 6- Deadwood 7- The Sopranos 8- Malcom In The Middle 9- Parks and Recreation (if only I could become the combination of Andy Dwyer and Ron Swanson)...

The 2nd paragraph is the reason why I think things are the way they are. It works OK and these companies are turning a huge profit from very little overall costs. They don't have the proper incentive to improve their products. Also it requires turning aspects of subjective information into code...

I identify with a lot of what you describe @Brontosaurie. You more or less described how I felt for the past 5 years in the going back and forth with confidence of ideas and plans waxing and waning. The sleep cycle, voracious reading, obsession over hobbies, and sociability when hypomanic ring...

I respect that stance and know that ideally I would be on a regulatory medication. Under current circumstances, the medicine available to me and my current level of insurance presents more trouble than it is worth. The various side effects of the medication make me worse off than the symptoms...

Thank you for that. I have been meaning to get someone's first hand account on it's effectiveness and implementation for some time now. I also read that the doasge is generally kept within the same range and there is less tinkering involved in the maintenance aspect in comparison to lithium...

I seriously wish I had access to Lamictal. Insurance doesn't pay for it. The generic verison is not nearly as effective or stable. Everything I have read on the name brand Lamictal sounds amazing but the cost is prohibitive for me and a majority of the under insured. Did you or anyone you...

This is definitely something the typology community can use. Curious to see how you test for the cognitive functions as that seems to be the tricky part in typology in general. This model definitely helps explain the cognitive functions to a lamen, I showed it to my mom and everything I have...

Are you familiar with the AI used in fantasy sports draft rooms? Not very many people are, I seem to be the only sports nut on this forum. I am a coding noob but have various ideas on how to improve the existing products for better functionality and also a whole new format that is in demand...

I so wish I could be as ignorant as the majority of the population. Life would make sense and I could enjoy it. But no I was given the curse of discernment instead. Sigh... In regards to point 3, I am sure you are familiar with Aaron Schwartz and his efforts. This issue has bugged me for...

Having my ex-wife in a joint session is what allowed my treatment team to gain the most accurate diagnosis. Before this time I had been hospitalized twice and diagnosed with clinical depression, without her insights on my behavior and shifts in mood when I wasn't fully depressed, I would not...

Not sure if you are referring to myself or OP... If by the use of Sailor Jerry and THC, you are referring to potency of things I imbide, that is my version of self medicating. I did talk about them being factors and how they contribute to my symptoms but if you watched the video it talks...

So basically a male counter to the Lena Dunham's of the world... Why didn't you say so earlier I would run for President of such an organization. Only partially kidding...

First of all I am musically retarded. I'll just state that right off the bat. I forced myself to listen to the last post so as to respect the thread theme but I have to say it was pretty close to torture tbh. 3.5/10 for the shear fact that I know it can be so much worse. No offense just not me...

I just felt the urge to share this with y'all and seeing as how I am finding sports nerd INTPs to be a rare breed indeed, most on here likely have not heard of this website but it is a staple in my weekly rotation. Grantland.com It is a subsidiary of ESPN (who is partners with ABC who are all...

The fact that my potential offspring are going to grow up in a world where virtual reality is even more real looking than actual reality is making me consider not having offspring at all. I don't know if I want to subject a human being to that kind of moral dilemma because I personally would go...

Can we please start a pickle preferences thread... Claussen all the way. Never heated, always refrigerated, and tastes just like the spear that comes with a burger or sandwich at a restaurant a nice sweet but mostly tangy dill. It is by the refrigerated dairy products in most of the stores...

I agree with this approach and can say that every time I have gone looking for love I have gotten lost but when I am minding my own business is when love approaches me. I have no idea what a Manosphere website is nor do I care to learn. I think this approach is pretty comprehensive and it is...

Hola. I just posted a video in the Bipolar II thread that I am curious of your opinion on. Also who is TC that you mentioned in that post?

Mermaids are REAL!!!!! There maybe that will spark some discussion haha. I don't totally believe that but I don't totally discredit it either. There is enough to be suspicious at least.

The Enneagram is a personality system which divides the entire human personality into nine behavioral tendencies, this is your score on each... Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||| 44% Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||||| 76% Type 3 Image Focus |||||||||||||||||| 76% Type 4 Individualism...

My bad too I misinterpreted your words. I made an assumption that you were making an association. I just found this video that is pretty relevant and interesting. He talks about gene envrionment interactions and basically how mental illness is both a product of our genomes and environment...

Having spent the past 2 Valentine's Days (2014, 2013) in a psych ward. Please reconsider your last sentence. That may be the case for you but HARDLY ANY CHANCE OF ANYTHING ACTUALLY DANGEROUS HAPPENING?!?!?!?! I don't want to get into a symptom diagnosis battle but anxiety is very much apart...

Hey man just posted something on BP 2 if you are interested. Holla at me if you have any questions.

http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=21638 Thought this was relevant for you.

Hey man wanted to post in your thread the other day but tbh I hadn't noticed your posts previously. I went back and read some of your old ones and I just posted something on Bipolar II that may help. It is not fully diagnosable until early 20s but I had signs of hypomania back when I was in high...

So I have an interesting one that got partially answered but not sure if OP is still active so as to devulge the rest. @CrayCrayPoTayTay if you are still around holla at me.

I just found this thread and I have a lot to say on the matter. I will start with my diagnosis, if you want to read in the spoiler. Your symptoms could be greatly different but from what I have found the medications prescribed for DSM IV Bipolar II are generally geared toward the depressive...

Fo sho. I am 4.5 years until 30. I crave the stability you have had career wise but have weaved in and out of a ton of things. I am currently a free agent and looking for a career direction, hence the sales questions. Welcome kind sir. The search function helps find certain topics and there are...
