So 'Neuroarchitect' sounded good when I first came up with it. Then I found out its actually used extensively by a different area of psychology than what I'm studying. That and it sounds increasingly pretentious the more often I see it <shrug> Any ideas for a replacement?

OK, so mortar didn't work... how about stealing a TVTrope like Beware the Nice Ones?

Seriously... the only MBTI related group in the Portland area is a bunch of INFPs, and I can't even remember how I found them last time :(

Hmm... how about "Auburn, the Proverbial Mortar"? We're all here because for the most part we get along really well, but not always. Mal: It never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth? I can't think of anyone who could have made the avatar collage with that level of graciousness and...

Re: Arcade Issue: Boat Hunt Yeah... I played Simon earlier and managed a score of 35. Best I've ever done, but as soon as I finished it claimed I wasn't logged on (even though backing up in my browser said otherwise).

For the past couple weeks I've been having trouble on a number of sites while using Chrome. So much so that I've had to keep a Firefox window open in the background to post links into whenever it happens. Have they updated recently?

Agreed and welcome aboard :D

Most universities don't require that you choose a major until your junior year, but to get through in 4 years, you should know by the time you become a sophomore. That being said clearly there's room to experiment a bit as a freshman. If I were to do it over again I would choose the three...

What she's trying to say is that when you're ready, you won't have to moderate.

lol, I also have a couple years of Aikido experience and agree with Ogion's statement. I believe that most of what happens during a fight is unconscious. If you try to fight with your conscious mind, you will probably lose. Nobutada: Please forgive, too many mind. Nathan Algren: Too many...

Thanks Sappy :) See how useful this new appendage can be?

When I first started studying type theory I was sure I an INTJ. I was excited that it described me so well. Over time I realized that wasn't at all who I was, but it look several personal revelations about myself to make that happen. With that experience under my belt I tend to doubt...

Welcome aboard uth :D The only requirement is occasional bouts of weirdness, so you probably should get on that :aufsmaul:

I read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide before my first exposure to Card's unhingedness. I have to say it was quite a blow to me. Part of me expected to find an author I could identify with and found the complete opposite. Depressing :( He's a huge Firefly fan too... what is...

I've been here the entire time, but I wouldn't be much of a ninja if you knew it ;)

Yeah, after reading some of the material it seems evident that he's an ISTP. I was so busy looking for someone who talked like an introverted thinker that I didn't fully consider how they were applying their focus. The contents of the book reveal that fact.

Good luck with finding work in San Francisco. I just fled there with my tail between my legs after 6 months of looking, but part of that was due to poor planning. I hope you have better luck. So where are you looking?

So before the forum purged the conversation... you believe your dad is an ISTJ and your mom an ENTJ. I certainly agree about the feeling judged part, though for me its always been a feeling. Despite being J's, both my parents have been fairly accepting of me (religious and political choices...

Someone! Shut down the ComeBack Club before Jesus shows up! Who started that anyway? Do you have magical powers? Oh, and welcome back lightspeed. I promise I wasn't the one who used your toothbrush while you were away <tips his head Noddy's direction>

A group without diversity is destroyed by any common weakness. Its preferable to keep in play more than one dichotomous ideology or you tempt group think, but I agree in the sense that inner conflict should be kept as peaceful and productive as possible.

If spoil a dog like that, you'll get similar behavior, but with more guest-leg-humping, chewing rather than scratching important things, etc. It sounds to me like the desire for that kind of relationship existed before the relationship did. I can't imagine an INTP putting up with that for the...

I think we've had this discussion before, but I've always found it interesting. I think that group culture can certainly have a personality type of its own. I don't know about other countries, because I've only ever lived here, but the US does not have one personality, but rather two. They...

Of anyone here I couldn't imagine you not having friends. Course, the field of comparison isn't all that competitive :P

Oh god :( I should have lined up a few posts for the blog before I told anyone about it... I will get to it, I swear! I've been carrying around that book I was asked to analyze ever since, but I need to figure out a way to make it not seem like homework.

Be warned, when you get here, you may be forced to socialize "In person". I'd ask if you wanted to have coffee, but I don't like coffee, and you know how frustrating it is to use sayings that don't actually represent your intention. What was I saying?

Its more a question of environmental forces than type. Our understanding of personality type is completely dependent on the human culture we grew up in. An INTP human in a primitive culture might look extremely different (though they'd still likely be fairly independent). If you're looking...

Abso-frickin-lutely. I admit to participating in the forum often, but because of the feeling of stigma I couch it in a self-deprecating way. It allows me to make it known without feeling like I'll be judged for it, but it hurts a little to know that the significance of anything I add relating...

What do you think is qualified? Why don't you think you have it? Don't try to assign a rank to yourself, but rather try to extrapolate your potential from your history and your motivation. If its keeping you up it clearly seems to be something you are highly motivated to do, why? Is it...

I read this book about 5 years ago and didn't get a lot from it aside from feeling like I'd experienced the haunted, nitpick and super-intellectual many times in my life. Its been years since the haunted one has gotten me, but I went into super-intellectual mode several times during my last...

Lojban is a modern iteration of Loglan (Logic Language) that bases its syntax on the form of a logical argument. Basically a normal sentence would be in the form of one of our heavily qualified English ones. The difference would be that the language was designed for it and that sentence could...

We should all just learn Lojban and be done with it. English is so archaic and would never be suitable for communication during the early stages of human/robot cohabitation.

I bet there are plenty of characters that were intended to be written more like us, but because of our familiarity with the subject, stereotypes of us don't even draw the necessary degree of familiarity unless they match the negative stereotypes we're familiar with. What do you think a...

When you made the first GGG comment I was unfamiliar with Dan Savage so I assumed the anime reference, GaoGaiGar. But if you meant Good, Giving and Game, then clearly I missed the boat :p Oh, and I like your new(?) sig :D

I think I called Cog a Zonder... can't remember now though :(

I've had great 3 hour conversations with my INFP cousin about personality type theory. But if things start going toward "number 3", remember to shut up ;)

I'd like to play, but can't confirm until I know whether or not my internet will be up (I'm leaching a T1 right now while I work on the problem)

So you see it too. ;) YouTube- the big bang theory - astrology And the piece de resistance... YouTube- The Big Bang Theory - The Friendship Algorithm

I can relate to that too. Off the top of my head, my response would be that our only two conscious, extraverted functions. Ne (the dominant function of ENTPs) and Fe. While Fe is not one of the conscious functions of an ENFP, I believe that may come from a misinterpretation of the ENFPs and...

course there's also The Big Bang Theory

If you come to the west coast you should shop for grains from Bob's Red Mill. Its a local Portland company, but they have an extensive list of wheat alternatives. I may be biased because its local, but its the best grain distributor I'm aware of anywhere.

It takes a little getting used to, but I have the utmost respect for Stephen Colbert. Here's rarely seen interview out of character to get a feel for who he really is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvLS4Jv6Tpw I think the reason why Stephen seemed lackluster during the interview is because...

This is perhaps the most obvious INTP I've ever seen in front of a camera. Straight from Stephen Colbert's Nation, I give you, Matthew B. Crawford http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/231844/june-24-2009/matthew-crawford

What you just wrote aptly describes the hell I went through trying to read Hemingway... I'm not sure how to describe the difference between interesting and uninteresting expository, but suffice to say, the former is rare. Oh, and as for the movie? Nightmare movies were ruined for me at an...

I think you'd be hard pressed not to find someone who at their heart wasn't selfish. Its self-preservation. The key is to find ways of being "selfless" that are personally rewarding in a way that doesn't take anything from anyone else. Or put another way, the difference between a selfish...

dl: 20.01 Mb/s ul: 5.97 Mb/s ping: 30ms But I also happen to be <50 miles away.

As was pointed out to me, 192.168.* is an internal address. That means that no external system can directly access it. Are you behind a router or firewall?

I admit I should have just started a thread with a poll so I could figure out who was going to show up, but noon PST was an hour ago. I'm just gonna go ahead and play for a bit and help level whoever might join later. If you're having trouble connecting to the server, get on Hamachi so we can...

OK, having forgotten that I recently moved behind a firewall I missed the fact that the IP I sent out is useless. Taking Inertia's advice I'll try to run it over Hamachi. The server is 'diablo2.intpforum.com' and the password is 'intpness'. I'm new to the program, so no guarantees it'll work...

No I won't be able to use the private server I ref for. Instead I'll be hosting from my own computer. We can't use Battlenet because several of us have set ups that would be immediately banned on connecting to one of their servers. I bought the game a long while back but don't have the discs...

Let's start at the beginning so we can use the same characters the next few times we play and keep building 'em up. We got a long time yet before D3 comes out ;)
