Since reading is one of the best things in life, I want to have a more enjoyable time doing it. Thanks for the replies thus far. Ogion: I used to read with my legs up the wall as well! Thanks for reminding me as it has been years. I'm going to try that when I go to bed. Saffy: Yay on sitting...

Sorry for the barrage of questions. Where do you like to read? What is the most comfortable way to read? How do you read when you're in bed? What special items do you own to aid in your reading? (for mood, comfort, efficiency, light, favorite bookmark..) Can/do you read with music on? Do...

Social anxiety? I'm working on that one. I love it when that happens. Is there a difference in quality between happiness that can be attained through deliberate action and happiness as the result of random good fortune?

I wonder if this thread proves that silliness by itself doesn't work to make INTPs happy. :confused: Anyways, in all seriousness I have been alternating between joyful and serene for the past few days. I started to dip back into depression last night but luckily I caught it. I'm even starting...

This documentary is pretty relevant to the thread. The entire series is one of my favorites and has helped me a great deal in identifying the arbitrary nature of gender expression across cultures. Oh my god; I could have written this exact post. I'm most comfortable wearing a mix of mens and...

I don't smoke it, but I think weed should be legal. I also think vaporizers should be more common than shot glasses. One of the most positive (and terrifying) experiences in my life came from Salvia. I'll do it again when I have a better outlook on life. I rarely drink. Clove cigarettes are...

FWIW.. I always thought of his nickname as "madness" mainly due to having a joker for an avatar.

Same here. If there is more than one person around I'm usually deadpan.

Hearing you guys has been an interesting experience. Some of you sound exactly how I thought you would. Some of you surprised me (usually for the better). Perhaps the most interesting thing about this is the familiarity I hear in each of your voices despite the wildly diverse accents. Thanks to...

Scenarios, taking things apart and putting them back together, climbing trees & people watching, playing around in DOS, reading, laying in front of the stereo for hours.. The Secret of Monkey Island, when we got a CD ROM drive, was one of the best experiences of my life. If only for the music...

I haven't ever really been in a storm and I'm somewhat envious. I have earthquakes to make me feel small, but those are rarely interesting.

Even if it's just slightly, which of these two do you identify with most? http://www.cognitiveprocesses.com/introvertedfeeling.html I identify with INFP profiles quite a bit, but I'm definitely Ti. Who else misses Decaf?

Re: AFC: "Paprika" from 29.3 to 5.4 I love Paprika. I don't know what I'd say about it though. I selfishly suggest Haibane Renmei for everyone. It'll pull out your emotions from hibernation.

I get that quite often and consider it flattering as well. I stopped cringing; I find the whole soul age thing a fascinating take on personality type.

I guess I never posted in this thread. Hmm. I'm 23 and look a few years younger but have the presence of someone much older. Or so I've been told.

University is better than high school. JC is worse than high school. Dorm room = introvert hell.

It would be more habit than addiction for me; and I've have a few habits. I don't like to feel a need to consume a substance, and when I start feeling a need I usually drop it.

One of my best friends is an INTP furry. It's like her life, and I've tried hard to understand it but.. I can't. I just don't understand the value of cuteness to the extent that you'd want to wear a fursuit. I do go on cuteoverload.com from time to time though; it's part of the reason I've...

World of Goo and Ricochet Infinity. Though Braid is finally coming out on PC in 5 days! I've been wanting to play that since.. forever.

A bit of bare essentials foundation, eye shadow, and maybe lip gloss for me. Probably put it on twice a week. I like how I look with it on, but I don't like feeling forced to put it on. My whole approach is sort of preventative maintenance - I take care of my skin very well and I just accent...

I did the one on facebook and got: Openness 94% Conscientiousness 21% Extraversion 9% Agreeableness 68% Neuroticism 51% I don't like it.. The test I took also put me as an INFP.

At what point do you stop being human?

Temporal Motivation Theory and Structured Procrastination (which were brought to my attention on this forum by Jesin?) seem to be the best cause of and solution to procrastination that I've seen. Not that it helps me be any less of a procrastinator. Google if you like. I read a lot of my...

John Fahey?

I record music. I haven't done it in a couple years and I don't show it to anyone, but I have about 2.5 full albums worth. I think I'm shit though so I quarantine it.

I like decorating. It's nice to have your living space be a reflection of the person you are. I like waking up to my favorite colors and in general being reminded of the things I love when looking around my room. Putting a little bit of myself into my room somehow makes me feel a little more...

I have an odd feeling that this conversation isn't going to get anywhere. Just to clarify - I don't think there is a fixed 'you' to undermine. All you're doing is what we all do naturally but attempting to speed the process up or perhaps steer it. Anyways, this is all I'm seeing:

(I didn't really read past the first post; srry) I don't think you'll be undermining fixed identity. I'd argue that there is no such thing as fixed id entities to undermine (that is, if I cared more). What you're doing seems to be attempting to speed up the natural process of change that we all...

If I asked a guy to marry me and his response was laughter, it might be a good idea to question why I was even with him.

- you don't do anything unless it's the most efficient way you can conceive. - while you're doing it you figure out there were many ways to do it better.

I almost never reach out to anyone - my phone usually remains unused for socialization purposes unless I get a call or text from one of the ENFP's in my life. My myspace and facebook walls are filled with ENFP's wanting to get me to do things. There are a couple people I will initiate...

We should hang out lol. 11. making yourself a "Wilson" actually sounds like a fantastic idea. (I'm thinking of making a 3'x3' Companion Cube and it could easily serve that purpose)

Apparently the Doctor's final form was female in a spoof. And then she had the hots for the Master. It also implied that the sonic screwdriver could be used for a wider range of (fun) purposes. :p

He'd just find a way to get it back. Like usual. 66. You know you're a (female/gay/bi) INTP if you happened upon the Tardis and all you wanted to do is keep the 10th doctor company. And keep his heartrates up. <3

I feel the same way, Ermine. The real difficulty for me is in finding people who I can bond with. Most people seem to want to talk at people, and interaction just turns me into a trash receptacle for their drivel. I keep trying to get hold of my INFP friend who is (likely) bipolar. He's the...

7. you haven't had physical contact with anyone in weeks. (you know you're INTP when it isn't really an issue)

#? you ruin your happiness by analyzing it. This thread is perfect. Cognisant's are my favorite but just about everything applies.

I don't think INTP's are asexual. Perhaps we know that finding a suitable partner would be extremely difficult and dealing with maintenance/drama of the relationship isn't exactly worth it. Which leads to a lack of skill in the area. So we focus on other things until someone falls into our lap...

What? Why? What the hell? Who? (when talking to ENFP friends)

The vast majority of my social anxiety is related to me being a tall female INTP in society. Most women would kill to stand out in the way we do, and we seem to not enjoy the attention so much (which might be an understatement). I'm sure your experiences are more comparable than 99% of the human...

Yeah, that sort of trans.

It's an issue for me. Pretty much all of it except that if I go anywhere I would prefer to go by myself. And I'm more paranoid of the internet because I show my true self more often and there's always the thought that I'm completely misinterpreting everyone and coming off a complete fool. My...

I can't say that I've ever been a thrill seeker, but I've done a lot of stupid things to attempt to experience that type of fear. I'll only speak of the less crazy ones. Surfing and downhill longboarding can be such a great experience. It's not so much a thrill as it is a unique calmness and...

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but I feel a need to let you know that they're still only seeing 1% of what's in front of them. Like you're giving them a book to read in a language only you can understand. They're used to seeing only 1%.. maybe they're conditioned that way? I feel...

Thanks for the replies and for moving my thread; I should have done a search first :o. I am very reactive when playing chess; very defensive in the opening have a very difficult time choosing an offensive strategy. I admit to playing an aimless move after developing my pieces so the opponent...

I'm sure someone will put the pieces together. :p

Let me know if you need a prostitute to kill on CSI.

If you're really disillusioned with the show and want it to make sense... http://mirrormattermoon.blogspot.com/ :p

I'm starting to get into chess and I'm wondering how other INTP's play. How do you see the board? What goes through your mind when you play? How do you suppose different MBTI types might play differently? Please post anything you think would be relevant or beneficial for an INTP's...
