You didn't mention anything about my preference for Claussen as opposed to Vlassic earlier...

I think that ultimately ties into the theme of the thread in that INTPs can and will lead if there are no better options, they don't like being told what to do by a superior, and once in charge they try to delegate as much responsibility as possible so as to allow for more thinking about how...

Thank you for the advice. i don't think I'm really cut out for entry level sales but I know that it involves the developing of skills that can last a lifetime. I think I will give it a shot at some point but most likely as an entrepreneur who has to sell or else won't eat. I don't think I could...

How long did you have to put in your dues as a salesman before becoming a manager? Did you have challenges as an INTP underling with mostly ES type managers and peers? How important is networking, from your experience? The cutthroat-ness of the entry level positions and the Sharks who...

Alec Baldwin's charcter (the slicked back hair 3rd place your fired guy you mentioned) strikes me as an ES type and they seem to be much more common in sales and the business world so they just kind of grasp those concepts naturally. Their tactics make sense to one another and they are able to...

Hey man. You seem like a very interesting person. You should start a new thread in the Introit subforum introducing yourself if you feel so inclined. What age range are you if you dont mind me asking?

I am thinking maybe a new thread in the Introit subforum is more appropriate for further discussion but idk I am not very keen on how forums should be laid out. People are touchy about the archives here though.

I would gladly be one of YOUR sales monkeys but every time I have tried it I was shot down by the typical manager that you described whom you took over for. They were really into the in your face, motivational, and personable styles of teaching sales. I have yet to encounter a true sales...

60-40 split may be the difference on E/I preference. Thus allowing you to navigate social situations/working with people at greater ease. It kind of seems that you take an analytical approach to sales and you are able to fill in gaps left by other types in the field. Basically a sales engineer...

If you have 30 minutes or so mypersonality.info has a free test that gives you a % of the prefences as the badge in my signature shows. I have read other forums where INTPs in sales and the business world but eventually change course to something different at another stage in life. I...

I was given this nickname by the starting Point Guard for my senior year high school basketball team. We were Physics class lab partners. He saw the word Technology on a piece of paper, crossed out the ch and put two F's in their place. Hence, Teffnology.Thanx BJax. BTW my last name is Teff...

I have never been very in touch with my artistic side but having some form of creative outlet has proved to be essential.The technical challenges of Photography really highlight this aspect for me. I took 4 years of Photography in high school, just before digital took over. Working in the...

I got Designer with a 72. Professional with a 57 and Charmer with a 56. The connection to the DSM was interesting. tl:dr (just figured out what that means but have yet to figure out how to incorporate the spoiler feature) EDIT:figured it out.

] I just took it (blind without knowledge of the scoring rubric) and it did as Drenth said, it solidified the dominant and auxiliary functions but left the rest a jumbled mess that could be left to interpretation. I found it helpful in identifying my auxiliary function and...

Sorry if I came off as defensive I just had a feeling that you would pose that suggestion and have been vetting my response for a few weeks now. I appreciate you offering your input however and feel we can both learn a good deal from each other. I know how you feel about PMs and have been trying...

I would not mind being an ISTP or an ISTJ for that matter, being an ESFP would have made my marriage a whole lot easier but at the end of the day every test i have taken over the past 5 years has resulted in a strong IP preference with a 60-40 split on NT preference. And all of the descriptions...

Yes I had a few friends growing up who claimed they had a possessed Furbie. Those were also the same kids that taught it cruse words and tried to corrupt the doll. I had no sympathy for them.

Looking forward to those studies. Thank you for finding them, hard to find objective material on the matter.

The Si tertiary is where I more associate with INTP than ISTP. ISTP has Se in the functional stack as opposed to Si. In my understanding of the cognitive functions I use Si way more than Se. Also the Ti-Fe dynamic is the same in the two types and can cause some type overlap and inferior grip...

I kind of wish I could get the procedure from Eternal Sunshine for some of the pointless crap that my INTPness lodged into my brain. I could tell you where 55% of the NFL went to high school and what their parents names and professions are. I know the intricate history of the evolution of...

Having just watched the Kessell videos I greatly appreciated his presentation. It is a much more objective approach than the source I reccomended previously. The fact that human infants respond instinctively in water has always fascinated me and he touches on this a bit. The video does lay out...

You could become a surrogate for older celebrity couples. That would prolly get you paid. Or claim that you were assaulted by a pro athelete and settle in civil court. Seems to be a common route for some double X chromosomes.

Not sure its correlation to MBTI but I did hear of a study where people who do doodle are sometimes able to retain more information than people who just take notes. Doodling occupies the basal ganglia and allows the conscious mind to wander free and think. This is said to be why Einstein's...

Congrats on 1000! I had noticed the thread before in the archives but didn't want to be the one kook who brought it out into the light again. It didn't seem to generate a ton of discussion. I have yet to watch the TED talk but I believe she is one of the scientists on the documentary The Cove...

Once in custody those prisoners won't get to see the outside world again, besides in a court room, for quite a long time if ever. Having them relinquish their final access to indulgences such as women, drugs, booze, good food, and private showers isn't very likely. Life on the run is no fun but...

Thank you for those phrases. Hoping one day I can put those to use somehow.

That is the consensus I have gotten from various typing sites. I was more posting that excerpt so as to have a witty remark for our Sockrates (IxTJ) talking about reading a book instead of watching a movie. Socrates much would have rather gone to a play than read a book. ENTP sounds pretty...

Hello. Turkey huh. Do you like living there? Would you prefer to stay or live abroad when you get older?

Along those lines Michael Cain had a great quote in The Dark Knight about how some people just like to watch the world burn. Prison is the extreme of society and it truly is a jungle full of primal beings. It doesn't take long for one to realize the mental game they play is on another level...

If you want to see a Boomer stick it to his fellow Boomers, there is none greater than Lewis Black. This clip more or less cuts to the heart of the issues that generation created. Lewis Black on Greed, Storage, Raising Money, Social Security, Math and ...: http://youtu.be/jQcrO2yCf0U And...

I guess more of what I was getting at was that Y's experienced a greater rate of innovation than X'ers did. Not to discount the innovation that occurred in Gen-X but rather to illustrate that Gen-Y's rate of innovation was greater/higher/more common as a whole. Gen X created the Internet, Y...

Indeed. Look forward to the thread. Im better at disecting other's opinions than presenting my own.

Over stimulation definitely plays a part in this. X'ers had fewer opportunities to be amazed. Everyday the Y's existed it seemed some new innovation changed our lives. While Pong may have been a singular seminal moment for an X'er, us Y's had all kinds of innovations along the course of our...

I actually got a kick out of the website, the Zeitgiest movies, Dark Legacy (latest JFK and JFK Jr conspiracy docs), and since 2009 have been all over economic policy and was apart of a national top 10 Economics program for a breif stint. I have just seen a lot of my generation take these...

I took some copious notes and was planning to compile it for my own use regardless. I would be happy to post my compilation of relevant and insightful posts, so as to eliminate redundancy and the troll activity. I think you have some pretty keen insights that new members may find useful. I...

I've only known this avatar version of Archie so that may have had something to do with my perception of your writing tone. I recently read through all 4000 posts of AA (and a few other threads you started) and was wondering if anyone made an index or a greatest hits thread? I really want...

Lets talk about Zero Hedge. Who is the wizard behind 'Tyler Durden'? A 30-year-old New Yorker who was barred from the securities industry last year may be behind an increasingly popular financial blog known as Zerohedge.com, which is catching flack for its obsession with anonymity. Daniel...

Why did Socrates disdain the written word? He sort of tells us in one of his (ie, Plato’s) dialogues, the Phaedrus. He takes several shots: He tells a legend from Egypt, in which a god gives a king the gift of writing as an aid to memory. The king, however, observes that writing things...

Loved that one. David O Russell can direct, thats for sure. Louis CK and the ice fishing story was hilarious, also Christian Bale's wig should have been nominated for a best supporting actor award. The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook got him his name recognition but I Heart Huckabees is...

^^^ Uhh, what you describe hasn't reached its peak in the movie yet, there is a moment when this dynamic comes to a head and it gets SUPER intense. Jake G did a fantastic job hovering around a boundry line then toying with the viewers until daring to emphatically cross it. Similar to Drive...

Also a BFast cereal would be cool, but I don't know if we have reached that level yet and can respect the process and the evaluator. Carry on O Mighty Cereal Shaman...

Was just curious if you could summarize your issues with Architect. I witnessed the hypocrisy that you constantly point to, long before you made your presence known on that thread. He pigeon holes a lot but after reading ALL his posts in that thread and a couple of others I more or less see...

If someone lights themselves on fire in the woods and no one is around, did it really happen? Was lurking on the AA thread from months past and you seemed the best to offer INFJ advice. I am an INTP with a situation you may be able to help me with. Hello.Btw.

This was quite the gold nugget I just found. Thank you @Absurdity to recommending Quora in a previous post, I have enjoyed it quite a bit. Thoughts? http://www.quora.com/Is-Breaking-Bad-better-than-The-Wire

Hey I was just curious. Was lurking on the AA thread (kind of funny because that was kind of the vibe I got "Hi, Im an INTP and can think of shit but not actually do anything, what should I do? Hmm, well let me think about that thing some more and reflect on it for eternity." Basically a 5 step...

What are your top 3 favorite systems? Hiddy Ho.

There was a guy in Maine who had asbergers and left society to live in the woods at 19 years old. He was taken into custody 40 years later for petty theft cumulative over that period. He made camp in the woods. Made eye contact with one hiker during his hermitage, he would "borrow" propane...

Hey man. Did you get a chance to fead that book? I found another interesting one the other day.

Top of the mornin' to ya

Hello. A couple of phrases in Indonesian would be neat.
