...or that Sigourney Weaver is an INTP from this one?

Agreed. I mean... would you really know that Meryl Streep is an INTP from this picture?

Can't... concentrate...

Ha, ha! Easy 10! This semester, I can't stop listening to the Bee Gees while I study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUID0jSh2Ic

I would say that a nice, thorough, unusual, somewhat specific non-fiction book about anything would be a safer bet than a fictional book. Maybe a book about nature, electronics, or a historical figure? *shrug* I'm sure he'd be very grateful for the dream catcher too though if that's what you...

A fun, general guide for all types: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSitGmKZcYM

How old is he? My dad was an INTJ and for every Christmas/birthday, we basically exchanged books, media, and interesting puzzle-ish things you might find at Barnes and Noble. It was good times.

Wow- that's a lot! Do universities usually make their teachers take on so many classes all at once?

I took a pre-calc algebra test that lasted 3 hours yesterday... pre-calc trigonometry lasted over 4 hours today... one more final to go for me and then I'm free! Free!!!

Calculus can help you to prepare for the zombie apocalypse... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/zombies-calculus-1.html

I had... an identical experience with a writing test like this, this semester. And I am constantly annoyed by timed math tests. I feel ya! I kind of feel disrespected by these kinds of tests!

Hmmm! Very, very interesting. Thank you very much for sharing some of your experiences with this sort of thing. I'll see how next semester's classes go and see how I feel about the direction things are taking. I have one last semester in which I can change before I'm permanently stuck in...

@Architect- What were some of the factors that led to your decision to switch careers? @ProxyAmenRa- Yeeeah, I noticed that engineers with a bachelor's degree can make even more than physicists at the PhD level, and that one needs to go all the way to PhD in order to make a decent wage...

LOL Yeah, honestly, I'm a little concerned that beating up on Fi when INFPs lead with Fi is a bit controversial for people with Fi in their shadow function to be doing. It's worth taking a look at why INTPs might be feeling the way they/we do about Fi. Maybe Fi is that threatening for us...

Hello! What are some high-quality websites/documentaries/books that have some sexy, introductory-level ideas about physics? I'm switching my undergraduate major from the arts/humanities to the sciences. My only background is in high school physics I and II, and following pop science...

What classes do you teach, Vrecknidj?

I'm 94% less innocent than my peers! Heh. Seeker.

I don't think I've smiled with all teeth exposed in an entire month except to appease people I don't have the energy to deal with. It's sort of like an exhausted dog tucking its tail between its legs. (Although I did smirk at how everyone is also procrastinating, experiencing eye strain, and...

How are you preparing for your final exams? (I'm procrastinating by checking my horoscopes uncontrollably and by getting on this lovely forum.)

Hi pjoa09, I started a thread in this section about my own problems in college (thank you for responding, by the way)! I had to drop three of six classes before I started transforming my F's in my pre-calc classes into A's for this last round of tests. Although it might be too late to turn...

I assume that if INTPs took over the world, it would be in order to avoid being controlled. That's why I would take over the world. Either that, or taking over the world would be in the greater service of humanity. I think INTPs could also take over the world if we created a society in which...

If INTPs wanted to take over the world, I think the best bet would be to make a society in which absolutely everything and everyone is dependent on computers, and the INTPs and only the INTPs would have control over these computers and the knowledge required to operate them. Or maybe a...

Very cool! Keep drawing and thanks for sharing.

TMills- thanks for the suggestions. I've been writing down some plans for taking care of what's been bothering me, and slowly but surely, the list is starting to shrink down. I do agree with Teax, that the act of writing it all down somewhere makes those issues less prone to popping up...

What are you getting your PhD in? I've been a supervisor/boss a couple times before, and I self-identify as INTP. I generally didn't really care what my "underlings" said or did so long as they figured out what worked for them and got the job done to the group's satisfaction. If they didn't...

I'm reading Bill Nye the Science Guy's new book, Undeniable: evolution and the science of creation. It's actually really fun.

I also wanted to agree that NTs are not necessarily into math or the sciences. One of my friends was verrrrrry, very clearly an INTJ, but couldn't stand math. Instead, he concentrated all his knowledge building and refinement into language and business, and he worked on these things every single...

I can't tell if I've had an INTP professor or not (I think not), but I believe I had an INTP supervisor once. We got along well for the most part. I think we each appreciated how quickly we caught on to changes in the technology we were using to keep the place running, and how we could...

Hmmm! I wish I could click "like" on these answers.

Yes, that's basically his premise. Of course, I'm sure that shame isn't at all the only reason for mistyping, but the video did ring true for me, personally, on many levels. In my own case of being confused about type, I think that I would often skew my test answers towards INFP, because my...

I think this is a video worth watching about mistyping oneself. I still can't tell if I'm an NF or an NT, even if I keep testing as an INTP. When I was trying to be an artist, I'd usually test as an INFP. When I had to make plans and organize people, etc., I'd test as INTJ (which is 90%...

I do think it must be harder to retain information as one gets older, especially as there's so much more to occupy one's mind. I'm in my later twenties. I'm very interested in learning math, as I secretly believe that all the major truths about the universe are locked in there somewhere. I...

Hello! I spent several years in the working world, and I'm really struggling to absorb some more concepts in math now that I'm back in school. However, I am having a very hard time retaining the ideas I need to in detail. Any advice? I've begun taking some serious notes and journaling for each...

Happy birthday!

Reason to keep going... 1) Life is always changing, and over the course of many years, it's more than likely that things will get better for you if you can wait out the bad times. 2) We can't know exactly what happens to us when we're dead. 3) Life is very rare in our universe, and...

Sorry- I'll stop posting these. So hard to resist!

I really can see Darth Vader as an INFJ, but not an INFP. Vader feels so deeply, that he uses the power of his emotions to strangle people, and he just... miraculously knows and reveals that Luke is his son, twenty-something years later. I really like the idea of making a horror movie in which...

^ Oh my God- that meme is totally going in my collection

*thumbs up*

LOL! Ahhh, I'm having an online identity crisis! Took a test again and got INTP again (http://www.celebritytypes.com). *shrug* I'm still totally, 100% okay with the possibility of being an INFP. If I did still think I was predominantly an INFP, I think the only thing that would change would be...

LOL I'm still not sure! It seems most likely. Others who know me well assume I'm an INTP and likewise are surprised to hear I've tested as an INFP before. I didn't think I was an INTP until an INTJ friend suggested I take a second look at my old, early-college MBTI results. This INTJ friend...

I can't speak for anyone else, but this INTP really, really sucks at typing people. I refused to believe I was an INTP for a long time, actually.

Actually, here's a clearer example of three possible (and likely) ways I think the situation with the young lady might have gone down: 1) The majority could have unanimously agreed that what she was trying to do was wrong. She would feel inherently bad, ashamed, angry, sad, confused, and would...

I've been thinking a very great deal about type rights too, these days. I'm in a society which constantly forces me to enter into an unnatural sleep cycle (I'm a hard-core night owl, and a lot of other INTPs are too, from what I understand, but this is definitely an overall 9-5 kind of world)...

LOL :)

That's cool! Has it helped you gain any new or interesting insights about yourself?

What do you think about this gadget? Would you try one out? http://www.ted.com/talks/ariel_garten_know_thyself_with_a_brain_scanner#t-706894
