For me, feelings are too flighty to be taken seriously. I find it hard to apologize to people, for instance, if I say something abrasive. In my mind, I will have long since gotten over the "feeling" that lead me to respond that way, while the person I was speaking to, may not have. And I...

Hee hee Architect, I'm a fan! :D

It's interesting you have those problems because I think my BF and I have very good communication skills.... although I should mention it's only been 6 months and we're actually prepping to move in together shortly, so that could all go out the window...!:p We have the same make up--I'm INTP...

I think many here would agree that it's not a matter of "holding them in" or forcing yourself not to express them. The last thing I remembered making me cry was a toothache that required a root canal (in other words, physical pain is the most logical thing to cry about). I don't cry "for others"...

Just yesterday! A friend I communicate with 99% of the time by IM only (we did date quite a number of years ago, but don't live very close so never see each other any more)....IMed me to tell me his dog died. But to begin with, he states, "Boo is gone". Me not knowing who "Boo" was and being...

I went into HS to Honors English where I failed the whole term miserably except the Final, where I got a B. I don't know how (I did sleep with the book under my pillow that night?? lol) For some reason, it was only after HS that I began really taking an interest in English and grammar as a...

This is probably more doable for me.... I like how a lot of you dismissed my interest in a 2-year degree as an acceptable level of education! lol I'm sorry, I agree with intpz. I don't have the affinity for university level education and hence why I maybe never really considered the...

I think I accept it purely because it's not something I endure day in and day out. I see them a few times a week and it might happen once that week. They are all xSxx types and they know that if they push me too hard, i'll fire back, so there's no real danger of being "hurt" by them. More than...

Well, I understand your point. And I'm not trying to avoid all human contact, but when you're a nurse, the people you work with are constantly changing and the experiences range from almost unnoticeable to completely energy draining. And when it's 40+ of these people day in and day out, it's...

i managed to remain friends with people who find it their pleasure in life to f@#% with me (all in fun, but still). Individually they are normal people and they don't even remember I am any different in any way than them (which is sort of scary). But when they are together, it's as if they...

So I'm a nurse. Not a well-educated one with a masters or the like... Just an LPN.... That point has been ingrained into my mind for as long as I've held the profession... Thought I would go on to do the RN thing, but as time went on, I realized I was just fine being "just" an LPN.... Then...

there ya go..... i think i'm genetically predispositioned to like them 'cuz I'm Jamaican though. lol

I watched a clay-mation recently that I loved... Mary and Max. It's about a kid pen-palling with this 40-odd year old dude in New York. Quiet touching in a low level emotion sort of way. And I hate clay-mation... Plus Philip Seymour Hoffman voices the autistic dude whose characteristics are...

I do this a lot especially after playing certain video games for long period of time. I then pretend I'm still in the video game and do whatever the actions in the game would do. For instance, I like Beautiful Katamari, which is this game where you essentially roll up different things in your...

OK Cupid!!! That's a completely free site set up by Match.com but allows you to say and write whatever you please (if they haven't changed it). You can contact people right away if they are willing to give you that info. It also has thousands of questions you will either find fun to answer or...

I love how everyone has to explain why it took them as long as it did or how quickly they did it without a problem. Raise your hand if you care.... :kilroy: :) Also, how do you get all of the clues right and still have the puzzle wrong? If you get all the clues right, doesn't that mean you got...

Trainspotting.

IDK, I feel like the Matrix sequels were pretty bitched out.... Didn't like them as much because they made the whole thing revolve around their relationship and love and sh*.... In my opinion, I don't want to see sci-fi movies with "feminine" influences because this always means some...

I recently gave in and decided to go see Men in Black III with my son and for some reason was eerily interested in the person who played the character Boris (the Animal). The accent, the character himself, etc. Anyhoo, come to find out he was half of the duo, Flight of the Conchords, Jemaine...

EMDR? I couldn't even tell you what that stands for. So I guess your assumptions to that end are incorrect.

huh?

Existing Situation: Having difficulty in making progress. Despite the attempt to conceal impulsiveness, her activities lead to problems and uncertainties, making her tense and irritable. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.) Stress Sources...

Oh, and for my Gender Words: 1456 Female Score: 2012 Male Score: 2453 The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male! I do have a strong animus :)

I don't write much, but I did recently pretend to begin writing a Character Maturation and Development theory I was trying to create and from the two different snippets I gave it, I came up with this David Foster Wallace individual both times. I don't know many Authors at all, especially not...

What is your name? Tricia Where are you from? From New York, but I've grown up in Florida most of my years How old are you? I am 32.5 What's your gender? Female How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? At first I thought I was Schizoid or even more specific...

[/IMG] gay...

I clearly enjoy communicating via written word over spoken. It gives me a chance to analyze my thoughts before putting them into the universe where they will be irretrievably misinterpreted, so I always end up making the most basic of statements, both written and verbal, with as little emotional...

Hello Co60. I'm not quite in the 40's yet, but I feel like i've lived in them since I was a kid.... does that count? lol, I'm 32 as of this entry. I'm also female! Welcome!

Why wasn't there a corresponding poll?!?!? Left handed...

I've done so with a level of zeal that probably just made people think i was even weirder. I realize that of all the 16 MBTI types, INTP probably enjoy the relief in knowing that this was the reason behind our being us..... For lack of a better blanket term. Anyhoo, I find that I'm the only one...

How times have changed since my last thoughts.... I no longer think of calling "that guy", but rather have moved on to finding a man I couldn't be happier with.... except my Ti / Ne (forgive me, my understanding of the individual concepts is limited) keeps telling me to stop investing in...

EXACTLY I go thru feeling like I have ADD and can't focus the way I should, but instead of spacing out to several other things, I focus back on the same tedious, minuscule problem where I still can't find resolve and go back to trying to work, but always rethinking my other insignificant task...

Yes! What kind of life have we been given where you can't even live long enough to absorb all of it! Oh well...

I work in a mental health office as a nurse. (Gonna claim black INTP #2 on this thread, lol) I think 80% of my day is trying to figure out how to get around the rules or why they aren't really as important as "management" or whomever thinks they are (i.e. making my own inventory spreadsheets...

I am rather upset at life for not being long enough to listen to every song I want to hear.....

INTP Women's Song: Sadder, But Wiser Girl- Seth McFarlane

^^I do that a lot, but I have a friend who does it ALL THE TIME^^... I think a nervous habit or to entertain the people with whom he is speaking. He will also continue on the singing with subsequent dancing and go completely off topic from where we started (God forbid you end a question with a...

I love tests!!!! lol ...I think that makes me part narcissist?

Hello, another INTP chick here. I am totally foregoing my lunch break, just to respond to your post! lol I too made a huge realization when I figured out that I was INTP. everything in the world made sense at that moment and then fell apart at the same time. It meant that I was going to have to...

I am killing my friends with my comparing and contrasting of different types and explaining things based solely on typing. lol None of them are INTP and therefore I'm sure my rambling is like listening to a devout christian tell you how everything is a result of Jesus Christ and his...

Hard to say, he could just not be taking care of them, or, he doesn't believe in active upkeep and when they're not twisted consistently, the roots will get weak because the locks become heavier with no reinforcement from the roots. He could also just be getting older and losing hair in addition...

I wasn't born there. My parents were. But my father hasn't been back since he was a kid and my mother is totally against my having dreads, so it's nothing to do with me being Jamaican as to why I have them.

Funny you should mention this. I am an INTP female and I recently began dating again. I met a guy who is INFJ and I feel like we connect so well. I even read somewhere that the compatibility between an INTP and INFJ is "ideal". I'm not considering a casual sex scenario with him at this time, but...

I LOVE Spelling and Grammar! I would date an English Teacher just to learn some new words!

Yeah! At least; if not a shout out at my graduation when I go back! lol

Badoom! (High hat)

And I wouldn't mind that sort of study, I am just not as "natural" with the caring part. lol. I am only spathetic towards patients because the flip side would Having to deal with them at even longer length and intensity. I do wanna care more, but I just don't. Instead I have a more secret...

I am in nursing now! Lower level LPN nursing, but nursing natheless. Lol. Just fell into it after taking a severence package from an ex-employer, Motorola. If I had know where my talents really laid, I would have gone into engineering like my co-workers suggested. Or gone into computers sciences...

When I was young and living in New York (The Bronx, to be more exact for the story's purposes), I would play outside in the PS 79 lot (that's the school I went to) next to our building. The lot had two entrances on the East and West side. I would always skate around in the lot and take the West...

Wow, is it that serious? My suggestion was gonna be Dance Central 2. lol
