I remember my psychology teacher talking optimistically about an anticipated paradigm shift, where the focus would move to more holistic perspectives in examining psychology. However I think psychology will always have a disposition towards behavioral/functional (in the same sense as how black...

I've read quite a lot of posts here saying that second hand typing as opposed to self typing can be very difficult and inaccurate. This is mainly due to the vast amount of information that may be hidden which observers may never be exposed to, these may be private feelings/emotions, thoughts or...

No, no, problems exist regardless of the existence of smart people. The existence of smart people allows people to perceive problems that were already there lying in wait to be discovered. Most people can see the huge missing gaps in human knowledge as big problems, but it is smart people that...

Bojack Horseman has an overarching plot to it, about Bojack's, and many of the main characters', struggle with depression and in perusing happiness. This for me really sets the show apart from most other adult cartoons. Throughout the series the main theme has been consistent and they've...

Before watching this movie THD was telling me about the holistic perspective in some thread and I didn't quite get it, this movie actually made it click in for me. Though if you've already read up on what they talk about a lot of the movie would probably be redundant and unnecessarily verbose.

Yeah I'm quite sure a lot of it has to do simply with my taste in movies. I find that I dislike a lot of light heated feel good movies simply cause they don't occupy my mind and give me something that I will keep thinking back to for a couple of days. I get that the part about "getting...

Indeed just add it to the pile of things that need getting done.

Yea a bunch of shenanigans. It's got the same vibe as watching teenagers trying to outdo each other at stupid stuff to impress their peers. No its not new, but I was more just against how much the movie was celebrated when it came out, and it still has 7.8 rating on IMDB, in comparison to...

The hangover movies we shit. I couldn't bring myself to suspend my disbelief to even come close to being able to go along with it's story. When other's saw a light-hearted comedy about going through fubar experiences within the confines and security of their own homes I saw protagonists that...

Nothing really innovating except the multiple endings which even then have been used in other animus. It's memorable simply for being a very well made product representative of the genre. I did tear up occasionally and the emotional sensations the animu was able cause me to feel was pleasant...

This was sarcasm wasn't it? Were you trying to point out the idiocy of dismissing critique simply based on it being an Ad Hominem? cause that was my point and if that was your point too than I clearly wasn't able to pick up on it.

This could be percieved as an asshole thing to say and you could sweep my post aside as just someone being too sensitive to your honest critique. Wow life without asshole would be so annoying with everyone kissing each others asses with every thing and always trying to one up others at being on...

There's also the limitation of accuracy due to never having all the information. In fact most people don't even know themselves very well, so you can see how easy it can get for others to mislabel, and even if the label was 100% accurate you wouldn't know it.

Social status is a label to help people identify each other. The individual's behaviour defines it most of the time.

Good game, I still want a sfw version so that I can play it when im not in the mood too. Have you played Jack-o-nine-tails?

They ask meh questions. Probably similar to those you've seen in other personality tests. It's pretty dumb for them to exclude whole countries while claiming that it is precisely the ability to erase physical boundaries between people that allows much greater chance of success in finding a...

Found this in reddit: http://8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8.com/ It attempts to find other people who are as similar to you as possible apparently. Why don't you/we here give it a go and post our results? I've registered for it just a while ago but no results so far.

Except its not someone its just you and your hand :( Edit: I didn't realise your avatar is relevant.

I borrowed "the birth order book" by Kevin Leman that was on this topic. reading the book felt like a chore though, idk maybe its just reading books in general with me, but I also didn't like the anecdotal and case study type of substance and reasoning that was being presented in the book. What...

This is hilarious. Taking the observations and empheric data out of the system to improve it.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how humans evolved and the primitive areas of our brains. Apart from the short but intense bursts of outrage that the fight or fight response is capable of, I think there's also another form of anger which arises from being apathetic towards the...

I wonder if the bias/preference for the Japanese language is because of animu, mango and the other influences Japanese culture has on the west and wherever else.

Ravenclaws 59% Ravenclaw, 46% Hufflepuff, 53% Slytherin and 38% Gryffindor!

You could attempt to mix the functions with the usual rpg attributes such as strength, intelligence, charisma, agility... with the function preferences affecting several attributes positively while affecting some others negatively. I.E. Se could increase strength, agility, perhaps charisma...

How useful is the function? I usually just skip people who I've mentally labelled as shit posters, but then I guess this labelling does take something away from me, regardless of whether it has enough of an effect for me to be aware of it. If you don't like the idea of practising such mental...

I think I've managed to write about my thoughts on morality in a more clear cut manner, which I've been intending to do. Objective morality exists in the same sense that numbers exist. Now even how numbers exist is up to debate, however that doesn't stop numbers from being of practical use...

Yes especially so when science has had such success in the empiric truths part of knowledge. Science itself at it's foundation is only philosophy after all, so the same things that you could use to criticize scientific morality are also ones that apply to science in general. SO basically...

My post can pretty much be summed up as it seems to me that you're stuck in your own head. I hope that's not offensive, but it can be a stifling situation to find yourself in. Maybe get some perspective on your situation and the situation of those around you? Attempt to detach from and observe...

Uncommunicative. They need to be able and willing to work on the relationship and their own behaviors as much as I am. Plus the silent treatment annoys me like crazy, my ESTP brother does it to me cause he figures that words without actions are meaningless, typical, but it bugs the shit out of...

I'd be interested to know. There is the problem of measurement though. It would be awefully difficult for outsiders to judge, when even the person in question is confused. A brash method that could be employed would be to not attempt to asses what specific type a person is but to affirm that...

I'm Vlad the Putiner (ISTP). I like to think that I'm obviously an intp, as the fact that I spend so much time speculating different situations clearly demonstrates, so some bits in the description is a bit inaccurate. Personality Match Words of Warning Scientific Research EDIT - went...

The question is the answer.

That means that the chicken DNA is in the egg, not that the egg was that of a chicken's. If a monkey gave birth to a human, the monkey doesn't magically turn into a human even if we call the offspring a human baby.

Personally I couldn't care less. Mostly because its more beneficial for me to care so little, because the gap between my power and the power needed to change the world is so impossibly large. Ergo I choose to only mull over options that I can take. Even if I was in a position to make great...

He doesn't appear in the video, but he is in the same room. There are some exchanges, however whispers too silent to hear probably. Well, you already stated your prejudice against STs so yea I guess you wouldn't appreciate him. I'm sure we intps drive some other types crazy too.

Watched Se7en last night. It was a good movie with a dark, depression and pessimistic atmosphere, just what I wanted. The philosophy on morality was weak if you're interested in philosophy and have put adequate thought into the subject. I felt that the ending in general was a bit weak, possibly...

These two are the only ones I follow, thank god they come out slowly so its pretty easy http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=1 http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=0

Jenny's hogging this thread a lot. Someone challenge her dominance. I watched The Hobbit trilogy yesterday. It was sort of meh after watching the LOTR. Not much in terms of introducing new core elements, but then again what was I hoping for? the prequel to a fantasy movie isn't going to be a...

Well apart from Dr Mike and Mike the masturbating dolphin there's also Mike the ISTP boyfriend, who I'm quite sure you've missed by now. I was a bit confused as to which Mike is flirting with Kristina and which Mike is the ENFP, but yeah I suppose Kristina was giving the fuck me eyes to the...

I'm thinking "Are you angry? I'm asking cause you look a bit down." I suppose you are referring to Dr.Mike the host?

Fe not working as intended.

Kristen Stewart has always struck me as an actress void of any traces of facial expression. Does this indicate that she is a thinker type? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Gpg7kcji0 and more facial expressions from a movie that's not twilight

The people who need things like these are always those who are least likely to follow them, still it can be used as justification for punishment at least.

But dick measuring contests are fun, except for people with small dicks.

I think what you're talking about is intense anger within a short frame of time. In situations where the fight or flight response is activated in individuals. Intps might actually cope differently, perhaps more effectively, when it comes to something like a long held grudge where they have the...

hmm, yeah I wanted Floyd to lose in the most upsetting was possible, i.e. tripping into Manny's punch, all I wanted was his record to be tarnished but instead it went how most people predicted it to go. Floyd's really too much of a by the books fighter to be really exciting for the general crowd...

Mayweather v Pacquiao. Happening at around 4am on Sunday at UK time. A fight 5 years in the making. I hope Mayweather's record gets stained. more info- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxing/mayweather-vs-pacquiao/11577282/When-is-Floyd-Mayweather-vs-Pacquiao-what-channel.html

Surely if that's what they are then that's what they should be called. But more seriously though it's pretty obvious that what those who are unable to create and contribute in the typical way, contribute in other ways. I.E. in the quadriplegic example, said persons family and friends receive...

An infp could've worked out on his own that he's a tough guy, or at least that what he want to be. I'd think it's possible for their Fi to be driving the process of being a tough guy. Their independence and resilience against Fe influences is already a pretty tough trait I'd think.
