This is the internet after all, too. Anyone could have put up a website with whatever nicknames they'd have wanted to. Doesn't mean the site where I saw that tagline was commonly referenced...

I'm not sure where I came across INTPs being assigned the "genius thinker" tagline... maybe I'm mistaken. It would have been a year or two ago. I agree that "architect" as a catchy nickname is more appropriate though.

No, unfortunately not. I've tried to both apologize and argue my points of view, but it isn't the same as their perspectives. I may have to just consider those bridges burned. I'm going to talk to a counselor or two about what happened and see what I can do in the future to avoid a similar...

Don't get me wrong... "architect" is a cool name (and probably a lot better for balancing INTP hubris)... but didn't INTPs used to be commonly referred to as "the genius thinker" the way INTJs are referred to as "mastermind?" :cat:

I'm socially okay provided I have a lot of energy, I'm in a good mood, and I'm in an environment in which honesty and self-expression is encouraged. Any kind of thought-suppression, control, or encouragement to be insincere, I can't handle. Although most employers/teachers/etc. have described me...

Holy strawberries, Batman! That was an intense documentary! Not entirely sure what I think about it though... although I am waaaay interested in mirror neurons. :kodama1:

I'd like to read some of his work too. If I recall correctly, he said somewhere in the NF Geeks videos that he has already published a book or two on the subject. I'm encouraged that someone is actually working on quantifying some empirical information about how MBTI may or may not be valid...

I wanted to clarify that last sentence- I'm not trying to over-divide people, which could lead to justification for exclusion, fantasies of genetic superiority, etc.

No, I don't think it makes someone a bad person or a monster to... either cry or not cry. Everyone grieves and experiences life in their own unique way according to all kinds of totally morally neutral factors. It wouldn't be reasonable for people to expect you to have the same exact emotional...

http://youtu.be/WKOgJbgGAfo?t=17m20s I think this video by NF Geeks and brain researcher, Dario Nardi, has a great explanation for INTP affectations of laziness. (Skip ahead to 17 minutes and 20 seconds!)

I picked "dark+matters" because I get flabbergasted when people get so desperate to avoid the deepest, darkest corners of the human psyche. I would think we'd want to explore every possible nook and cranny in its most minute detail so we can understand and prevent human suffering in the...

Re: How many times have your cried? I was super stoic and completely, totally out of touch with my feelings as a kid and pre-teen, but fell into several severe depressions as I got older and had to start being more aware that I had a lot of feelings that used to just seem numb and in the...

Re: How many times have your cried? I second that.

INTJs are among the highest IQs according to this (and most other) pages: http://www.celebritytypes.com/intj.php ISTJs don't seem linked to high IQ according to most pages I recall seeing though.
