Re: Absence of the forum I'm going back to Germany tomorrow for at least a week as my mum is in hospital with acute heart failure. Don't know if I'll have much internet access for a while :(

I knew the email password of the Lying Cheating Bastard past boyfriend and I used to go into his account and delete job offer emails before he saw them.

lol well it's obvious then one has to take the opposite - you are either INFP or INFJ and I am convinced you are INFJ anyway. ;) (off topic - you didn't respond to pm question if it was your drawing or downloaded)

Surely it's only 'obvious' if you know something about MBTI already - the first time you do it, if you've never heard of MBTI then you wouldn't be 'tainted' with prior knowledge. If you want a truly complicated test then do this one I saw on Personality Cafe - I came out as ESFJ!!! Obviously...

When it's the 9th of August, Sunday night, the whole weekend has gone by. You come in and check the voicemail and it says 'you were called on the 6th August by ....'

hi dyk - good to see you here again! I've missed you. hope you're ok :-)

For the most part, yes!

yep - I worked in mental health service in the UK for many years and now I teach at a university. I'm an occupational therapist and solution focused therapist.

ok well that's a useful insight in itself. Anyway the thread which lor referred to is here if you are interested: http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=2801 and it might give insight into why your friend had a bad experience.

Ant -that was lovely! nice poem and music too - sound quality I thought was very good actually (compared to my superbad mike anyway) Great voice ;-)

This one reminds me of Melkor borg - for Cog this could be handy and this is my favourite lololol

That's awesome IB! I love it. It totally goes with YouTube - Black Eyed Peas - Pump It

yes I clocked that line too. I like Florence and the Machine but that song 'a kiss with a fist is better than none' does my head in. :phear:

CBT can be useful if you approach it as a technology - I think INTPs can use it quite well if they want to in a self-help capacity because it is pretty logical and straightforward. For example, it is interesting to look at the list of thought distortions and it might point out to you some of...

hi nightowl -- thanks for the message - look forward to seeing more of you about here :)

Thanks for the friend request - I'm honoured

Don't know if you saw but I left you some battlefield archaeology links on that 'investigation' thread

@ carnap - hey it wasn't intended personally - just looking for a lively debate. Religion and politics don't really do it for me here but this is one I am passionate about! sed - that is hilarious!

please tell me that is a critique of the despicable Paolo Coelho who needs to be taken out into a desert and left naked to die an agonising death for his appallingly banal derivative writings which hardly merit the title of 'book' other than in terms of pages bound together with markings on...

catechresis: the inappropriate use of one word for another Commonly seen in essays written by students who imagine they can replace a perfectly good word with something from the thesaurus to make their work seem more intelligent. iridescence:

Hi Anthile - you beat me to it - mine is also the raven (in fact, as you know, it is part of a different username :-)

'overvalue their career'? What on earth is that supposed to mean? When men focus strongly on their career they are dynamic, thrusting and ambitious but when women do they are 'overvaluing' it because their marriage isn't satisfying?? So women are supposed to be satisfied with cooking...

oh - you know it still shocks me when I realise I've been like that! Sorry Wisp, it wasn't intended to be so dismissive - I guess it was more a reflection of my own realisation that there isn't some point in adulthood where everything falls into place and one has 'arrived'. Thanks for...

thank you - am feeling much better now - especially after an hour phone call with my INFP - you are so correct in your analysis - weird!

Is it just me or are the smileys changing by the minute?? :hoplite::elephant::cat::cat::cat::cat::cat::cat:

It's out of a bottle - though identical to my original hair colour!

It's funny reading those comments where I'm somehow cited as an example of a less fucked-up INTP - well maybe I am because I know at least that somehow through my life I have managed to overcome my difficulties and reading through this thread is reminding me of that. But right now I feel like...

Re: Absence of the forum @Ogion - near Donauworth, Bayern I'm back - deeply depressed after spending 5 days with my mother. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I felt so bloody miserable.

Hi Lightspeed - thanks for the co-creation and look forward to getting to know you.

Re: Absence of the forum I'm off to Germany to visit my mother for 5 days - think I might try life without the interweb for a while - SCARY!!!

It's funny - I have a lot of INFP traits but I know that I'm INTP because when push comes to shove, thinking will always trump feeling as my primary mode of engaging internally. It's a real shame that cognitive functions site is no longer providing a free service because that was really...

See I told you there was hope! In the long run I think intelligence helps you figure life out while those that don't think much get a horrible surprise when things aren't always easy.

God this is a depressing thread! Are you seriously still hung up on these stereotypical gender role divisions in the 21st century? This is a total distortion of 'modern' feminism (what other kind is there?) This is conflating a whole load of complex ideas into a simple binary of male/female -...

oh yes it's like personality cafe now!

What on earth do you mean, JoeJoe? As if I would ever be involved in anything so mean??!!

I have told a few people but not a lot - most wouldn't be that interested, I don't think. Sapph I think you'll find Brain is a woman!

HERESY!!!!!! [is there a certain irony in our role reversal here?]

From the comedy world, I think the character Howard Moon from the Mighty Boosh is an INTP - it is the funniest show ever - don't know if you get it in the US (in both senses of the world lol) Howard's the one with the moustache He's got to be an INTP

When I'm tired I am vulnerable to emotions like anger and misery. Nature, music and certain triggers in books and films (reunion of a parent and child, deathbed scenes, someone who overcomes an adversity, cruelty to a less powerful character like a child or person with learning disabilities...

Thanks to Nia for saving me from writing because I agree 100% with what she says. You will be interested to know Sed that my parents were called in to discuss two ;incidents' when I was at primary school. In kindergarten we had 'prayers' at the beginning of the day and at the end the teacher...

I was thinking about this the other day actually because this is my experience too. I was reflecting that my 'reality' is actually in my head - my inner world is the real world for me. So whenever I have to do anything in the Real World - action - it feels like a performance. I think though...

You already are an artist. Maybe you are already a composer - haven't heard anything - snapvine it! Yeah the job is excellent - but it was a helluva long and painful road getting there! I spent most of my late teens and twenties depressed and taking drugs. That's what I'm trying to get you to...

Hi Nocturna, Glad you found the post useful. I agree about psychologists - they are a very odd bunch of people indeed. They seem to hide behind their 'expertise' so that they don't have to relate normally to people - I suspect most of them are more messed up than the people they see. Not all...

I lecture on an occupational therapy degree programme and I develop conceptual models to help understand learning in higher education and also to help people think critically about social inclusion. I am basically paid to read books and come up with theories. Not a bad life! Universities are...

I'm a happy person. I used to be depressed all the time though. I became happy by doing all the things which I suggest to others - particularly exercise and focusing on what I am good at and what I enjoy doing. I collected people who support and encourage me and I dropped or avoided people...

Hi Luciela, I'm assuming that you have read my entry earlier in this thread? Also you might want to check out two other threads I started to pass on what help I can - one is INTPs and emotional intelligence and the other is the INTPs guide to therapy - if you click on my avatar and select...

back on to OP: other exciting dates! My very mathematical daughter is super excited because the 2011 date is her 19th birthday!

not in the UK - we write it the other way round. The correct way. Days are smaller than months are smaller than years.
