If we did meet in real life, what would we call each other? Personally, I think I'd still end up calling Decaf by 'Decaf' or Agent Intellect by 'AI' - even if you all told me your real names. What would I call NoID10ts? I can't even pronounce that!

ENTJ Wolf = Very good correlation, seeing as how ENTJs are also called "Leaders". I've met some in real life and they always tend to 'lead the pack' with their example. A wolf is a beautiful parallel. ESFP Butterfly = Hehe, the ESFPs I've met always seem to be free-spirited "social...

Andy, so you do not ascribe to psychiatry, but they seem to be after you. They call you mental and schizophrenic. They don't understand you. The guards (SJs) are on their side, and also against you. There's a woman hired by the psychiatrist to investigate you? Several of my friends have...

Hello! It's rare that I see an INFP around here. Welcome! And, by the way, we do have a chat room here, but it is never used. It may be hard to get INTPs that will want to engage in actual conversation.:rolleyes: I guess we don't particularly like how chat rooms still possess that vibe of...

Don't jinx me yet, I have no clue if this is what he really meant. (although I must admit, I do like the title of Oracle :rolleyes: ) *** If anyone wants to know the correlations: ENFJ: WOLF ENFP: FERRET ENTJ: BULL ENTP: SNAKE ESFJ: HORSE ESFP: BUTTERFLY ESTJ: RAT ESTP: TIGER INFJ: SKYLARK...

Hello! Question: Did you just find this site, or have you been observing from a distance? If so, how long have you been lurking? P.S. I would invite you to check out the "About you" thread if you'd like to let us know a bit about you (that is, if you're comfortable ;) - if not, I'll...

Andy? Is this your name? I am not an INFP, therefore I have not been discovered, but I am NP. Yes, I do dislike how the Guards always take our ideas away, since we're often very good at devising them, but not putting them to use. Once we have created them, they take them as their own and use...

Perseus, if I'm not mistaken, you are most likely a Dragon (INFP) who is also talented with the T function. This means we come close to relating to each other, but not entirely. This would explain some of the confusion we've had understanding you. Dragons love to fantasize, and their...

Some ideas from other sites: http://comments.deviantart.com/emoticons http://forum.infjs.com/misc.php?do=getsmilies&editorid=vB_Editor_001 ...then again, I'm scared that more emoticons will make this website even more fluffy! It would just feed our insane overuse of them. In all honesty, I...

Well, I would wake up on my own, fully rested, before the sunrise (having gone to sleep early the night before). I would write down my dream before I forget it. I would then leave the house unnoticed, with my headphones on, and just...walk....almost aimlessly.... I would probably end up...

Just a little more information on Fe: [Keep in mind, this isn't specific to INTPs; it's a general description for all types] http://www.cognitiveprocesses.com/extravertedfeeling.html

@ Kidege - ...um... ...all this time I really thought you were a guy. *embarassed* Gosh, I even depicted you as a guy in the "Visual Impressions" thread. Hey! you even said that you like that description!:confused:. Oh well...I guess the mind is a genderless organ. It really doesn't matter in...

I agree. However, as you said yourself "the INTP who suffers from diminished Ne" may not be as open-minded, but this is not an initial trait that is applicable to all INTPs. I happen to be an INTP who uses Ne very freely (which explains all my crazy theories that I keep presenting) and hardly...

Yes. Welcome! (I would like to meet all those other lurkers. At any given time, I always see the online guest count at 40-60, while the online member count is normally at 20-30. There's more lurkers than online members!:phear:) (Then again, I guess that's to be expected in a forum for...

He came to be when I went through a time where I was not content with myself, and so I imagined the exact person I wanted to become. He's not so much a voice in my head, as he is a self-designed personality with all the attributes that I desired. Then once this designed personality was whole...

(this is going to take some mental readjustment) *goes into CNS (Central Nervous System) - opens up the Drive* *Finds the "Memory" folder and opens it up.* *Finds the "intpforum.com" folder and opens it up.* *Finds the "Fernando_the_Weasel" folder and right clicks. "Rename" * *types in...

hmmm... So at some point, whether consciously or subconsciously, she was embodied by you - created by your mind. A history was given her, a personality, and much more - until she seemed to be her own person. Is this what happened? I know this may be too pesonal of a question; I'm really sorry...

:D I believe a long time ago you posted a thread about someone you knew with Dissociative Identity Disorder. I'm not implying that you have this, it just reminded me of it. I've never met someone with that disorder, but I do know that these people inside of them are very much real - often more...

hmmm.... It must have taken a lot to say all of that. :D Honestly, I'm privileged to be among the first to get to know about her.

Yeah, I recently ordered one of her books - it's supposed to get here soon. :D I do this exact same thing too; likewise, all for good reasons. Still, I can't help but wonder if using this chameleon effect is a form of being dishonest to myself. hmmmm... I guess the question is: Is a chameleon...

I really am sorry if this is not making sense, I'm just describing it the way I see it in myself. I'm not using any official descriptions, just personal experience - so I understand that I may be mistaken... ...actually you said it better than I did :D. I guess I didn't really mean "inner...

As for myself when I say Fe, I agree with Fernando. It's like a state of "unbridled expression" where I am free to act in sync with my feelings. It's also quite an impulsive function that reacts to the environment I am in at that moment. Some specifics: Expressing appreciation Being openly...

Precisely! Is it really being untrue to oneself to use this Fe?

Alright, I guess I'll start off with one of my own experiences with Fe. When I learned about MBTI, and about the cognitive functions, I was able to understand why it was that I sometimes acted so out of nature under stressful circumstances. I began to realize that it was probably my...

I've seen a lot said on this topic scattered around the forum, but I believe it deserves a thread of it's own.;) The "Fe" inferior function seems to be one of the greatest mysteries to the INTP. For some reason we tend to fear it, suppress it, starve it, deprive it of fresh air, lock it up in...

Yeah. The way I visualize things inside of my head - the Ti (the one I consider "me" the most) is responsible for this deatchment. I (Ti) analyze every other part of me (Ne, Si, Fe) from an outside sphere. In fact, I can allow either one of these 3 on the front-line at the moment, depending on...

hmmm, inside my head: There's Me. I normally keep all the others in their place. I'm the one walking around with a check list - making sure everything is in place. I spend most of the time in my office computer. There is a calm, collected, and sophisticated guy with long black hair and a long...

@Cognisant - Nice new avatar. Now, that looks like the Cognisant that I know.:D;) (although technically I don't really know you, or have ever seem you)

Chimera, I'm sorry...I'll stop...:o *puts Fe child back into his cage, chaining his arms and legs with fetters*

Yes, actually, here's the link to their emoticons. :D @ Cognisant: we can drag-and-drop them onto here.

*carries crying monkeys away before they get killed by Cog* "...there... there..." "...you guys did great. thanks for at least helping me try to talk some kindness into those jerks..." "...you can go back to infjforum.com now... :o "

...you called me "mis-shaped"?!?! I've had it! :mad: Cog, I'm leaving you! forever! Good luck trying to fall in love now! I hope you die single and 80! you JERK! (EDIT; That would be a negative expression of the Fe)

<------- look at that!!! that's your poor inner child! u meanie! :mad: (EDIT: I have just demonstrated a small expression of the Fe child. See, it's not so bad)

Developing this child will not change your ability to be instinctual and analytical. As I said, the kid knows when to go back to it's dungeon and let you analyze in complete clarity. All it wants is just a little fresh air. The question you asked: Why should someone change if they feel (more...

...um... ...Nia? ...LoR? ...Cryptonia? hmmm... Maybe there should be a thread dedicated to developing this inner child. I'm surprised one doesn't exist. LOL, to be honest, it would probably end up looking like it came right out of an INFJ forum. What do you say? Would it be too much of...

It's more normal than you think - and actually healthy, as I've said before. Without these moments of emotions sneaking up on us, who knows how much more messed up we'd be! Whenever I read things like this I always imagine a poor little child locked up in a dungeon, crying. He's barely fed...

If only we could communicate telepathically - not having to convert our thoughts into sound and then having that sound be converted into thoughts again by someone else. It's that intermediate stage of "transportation" that destroys so much of the richness of thought.

That's got to be the most honest musician I've ever heard. Beautiful! 5 stars!

If you're mad, then we're both mad! [I believe it's called detachment; a key characteristic of INTPs.;)]

could there be a nature-vs-nurture correlation here?

Re: Absence of the forum *screams from the forum rooftop* DISSIDENT! WHERE ARE YOU??? *...listens for a reply...* *...nothing...* :(

So true! Cryptonia, was it you who mentioned somewhere else that you were reading a book which describes the leader as hated by the majority population, and yet that didn't change the fact that he was a great leader? If only it was possible for the wisest to rule, not the most popular... *sighs*

hmmm... wow, there's a lot of 17 year old people here! hmmm... I wonder why that is...

It's interesting because I can definitely see how this could happen, and indeed does. I realized this tendency early on and made an effort not to succumb to it, but instead, used the MBTI to find ways to improve myself. For instance; having better recognized that I have the ability to be...

Re: Which type of INTP are you? Interesting... I was #3 growing up, then went to #4, and then went to something that's not on this list of options. This leaves out one of the most important types of INTPs. Is there not a type which is the psychologist? the sage? the "Gandalf" type. The type...

@Cog I see... I must say, just by your description of it, I want to go watch this movie. :D And I guess this does fit you better. I use my avatar for the same reason - it reflects what I feel like internally almost perfectly.

I haven't the slightest clue, however this change of avatar is subconsciously reforming my visual image of you. I must say, I like the other one better - it's just....just..."you"

:eek:... ..wow... Amazing... And although I (pretty much) agree... who in the world could EVER meet all these conditions? - I particularly like points 3, 9, 10 & 11 -

hmmmm.... Also, Decaf, could it be possible that as an INTP child develops, and his functions grow one by one - his more inferior functions may develop as the complementary instead of the typical? For instance, a child's already got Ti down, but then he develops Fe next to balance out Ti...

Decaf! your avatar is hilarious! It brings out the child in you :D I wasn't here when u first had that one. What's the story behind this one? (if any)
