What kind of sentence are you? Hi

I believe I read they make up the smallest % of the population when factoring in gender and the 16 types.

If you are attempting to reach an absolute definition of happiness, I am the last person to ask on the subject. I do agree with your principal that chasing happiness is not healthy. I feel that contentment is a comprimise we make with ourselves over time as a means of mitigating the pitfalls of...

I think the end goal is contentment. Elation and depression being on opposite ends of the spectrum with contentment being our own realm of comfortability in the middle. I think this is what phase III development represents. We cant know what to be content with if we dont first struggle with...

Hey there. Didnt see it as an offense but rather a tool I could use to enhance my ability to effectively communicate with you guys. Thank you for welcoming me and extending a paw. How have you found this site helpful?

Just read your previous introduction and can identify with a lot of the aspects involved. I think we may very well have faced/are facing some similar questions. I think we all need someone to to talk to and gain insight from. I implore you to check out my intros and see if there is some overlap...

I think that what I had written before as an intro was more of a personal way to appease my psyche and help myself understand my circumstances better. Doesn't benefit the group much if at all except to get a better understanding of where I am at in this stage of life. What I think will be more...

Agreed

Ya i was gonna try to provide a more objective snapshot of why I think im an INTP as opposed to an E or a F, which I am internally lacking and attempt to make up for externally. Its more of a social defense mechanism to overcompensate in those areas upon inital introduction to an established...

The correlation we are making is the assumption of a pattern that genius and madness are CLOSELY related in various instances. Not asserting causality but more a painting of a picture that a percieved genius walks a finer line in these dynamics, than does a more rounded person so to speak

Indeed. This could be quite a discovery. Where is Aaron Schwartz's idealism in action? I guess I ultimately don't want the threat of prison either. But Im am definitely of the long form thinking variety and prefer as much information as possible and would be one of the ones who would read such a...

I was more praising TMills connection and lumped in your anti-rigidity of the genius concept. In regards to madness I think that it manifests itself when consistent road blocks are encountered both intellectually in their thought processes and also in the case of interference by the outer...

Im pretty sure I know the church you talking about and probably served them pancakes at our ihop at some point.

Ya the best way I can describe it is being paralyzed by indecision and that is why getting stoned is so appealing. It takes you out of that back and forth struggle and forces you to be in the moment. I think INTPs get more internally focused when high and are able to gain a perspective on the...

I agree that the concept on genius is inherently subjective but we can all atempt to gain a broader knowledge of the manifestations of genius and further investigating those that we percieve to be geniuses, and their journey to genius-hood.

Brilliant! Genius absolutely manifests itself in a variety of forms and this helps to distinguish that pattern in an objective, relatively, manner. Nice connection sir!

Thank you for the encouragement. Those names don't ring any bells but it truly is a very small town and is likely I have crossed paths with them at some point. I think knowing and understanding is the first step and I believe Ive begun that process. A step at a time.

Dude dude dude we hella do imitate texans brah! Haha but dude seriously, seriously dude I wouldn't even lie to ya brah no joke! That encapulates our vernacular much too closely. So to answer your question no, but I do apparently. A social quirk I developed to break up the motonany of years of...

Understanding our version of the why helps us grasp the world and give us peace of mind. Answering why does lead to more questions that will eventually boil down to core beliefs of our very being. Core beliefs are subjective in nature. 6 billion people+ are naturally akin to disagree on such...

Hey where at in CA are you?

Compartmentalizing them in a vaccum, all exhibited perceptively evil ways of implementing the achievement of their ultimate goal during their reign. Case by case that could be argued for all 3. Hitler doesn't really fit in a vaccum though does he... haha he gets the daily pineapple insertion...

Hello there. Was wondering if you still championed curosity about Aaron Schwartz. Would like to touch base with you.

http://personalityjunkie.com/intp-book-personality-careers-relationships-truth-meaning/ An overview of the work I reference above. I have a pdf available if $7 is out of your budget...

Evil genius didn't make the cut? Hitler, Napoleon, George W Bush, etc

Ive always viewed genius as a dichotomy with madness. So commonly the people in history that have been given the genius label often exhibited observable qualities of madness. Beethoven, Mozart, Einstein, etc. Possibly it could relate to the geniuses ability to move about autonomosly on this...

Take the decision-making keys away, for the time being, from my undeveloped childlike Fe that longs for a committed relationship to have a constant baseline of being needed. No more ladies in a romantic sense until I can establish the basic functionings of a productive human. Transitioning to...

Totally cool. I didnt know what I was doing...

Kinda turned into a diatribe on me there. Thank you. Will work on my syntax.

The forum world is foreign to me...

I am very glad to have benefited from life's seemingly orchestrated series of accidents, for the good this time. Stumbled upon this collection of minds seemingly by random chance at precisely the right time. I was born and raised in Grass Valley, a small foothill town of the Sierra Nevada...

Granted I am combining the respective personal biases of Drench, the filmaker, and myself with my own personal perception of the INTP which could compound to a distorted view of Aaron, the INTP, and the INFP all at once discrediting my theory and giving credence to yours... Inconceivable...

I think he was shaped, at a young age, as more of a collaborator in order to achieve his desired goals of what he sought was wrong with the way things are. His environment caused his rapid ascent to phase III of INTP, outlined in the book. Thus having his desire and production meet up at such an...

Any fantasy enthusiasts out there who dominate their league every single year, like me, because INTPs cant be stopped if we know the lay of the fantasy landscape. This has been one of my few hobbies that has stayed consistent through my formative years. Mainly football and basketball but have...

I just read Dr AJ Drenth's ebook The INTP. It is a 130 pg in depth analysis on specifically the INTP personality type- its forms of development, manifestations in work and relationships, strengths and weaknesses in various situations, etc. I found it almost laughable how the author was able to...
