I completely agree with this and think that's the true focus of the "gender sacred" places people have in mind. Bonding and a place to be yourself. I think these places are often naturally segregated by interests, and to exclude people on their genitalia is an archaic notion. Women with a more...

Are these all questions everyone should be able to ask, regardless of sex? I'd say that these are universal questions that humanity asks, and the differences are merely semantic. Interestingly.. my transition to female would be one of the most masculine things I've ever done under this sort of...

Secular Islamic. Which is entirely true; in a history of Science class I found Islamic art fascinating. Low extraversion High agreeableness Low conscientiousness Average emotional stability High intellectualism High emotional intelligence

Gender sacred places = gender segregated places? It's quite a relief to me that modern societies are doing away with gender segregation. Here are some "gender sacred" places that, in the past, were only for men: Political office, the workforce, the pulpit, higher education, sports.. I could go...

From an interesting article on salary differences before and after gender transition. Things are hardly equal.

Okay, you win. I will watch this show somehow.

I can really relate to this. Also, regarding 'brilliance' decreasing with time. I think it just decreases with increased awareness. In my case, it has been awareness of fun and make-up. And how annoying I can be.

My kiwi friend is all about the stuff. I tried it and it was probably the nastiest thing I've ever tasted. A few years later I decided to try it again on the basis that it couldn't have been that bad. It was. Ruined my toast experience for the last time. :( I miss sushi.. hardest thing to give...

Just don't drink his punch, Thomas.

Might as well add mine to the list. Oldest of 4 Gender: female Left-handed Age: 23 6'1.5" 156lbs Blue/green eyes Dark brown hair Light skin Caucasian U.S.A. Bad childhood; abused. Medical: used to get migraines as a kid. Mental: Depression (not on medicine)

I'm tempted to make some pins that say that and hand them to all the lovely absent-minded people I meet. And yes, I space out all the time. I think this problem coincides with the "space out while reading and watching TV" thread.

Knytt I absolutely love this short platformer. It's extremely simple, but so endearing. The characters, while not really doing much, really do portray a sense of longing. When playing this game, I truly just enjoyed discovering things. The sense of longing, exploration, and minimalist...

But we're all indoors. Hiding. Learning. Ect. :P Agent Intellect: Sexuality? As in orientation? I'm attracted more to people in the middle of the gender spectrum that lean towards masculine. I don't have a preference of my partner's sexual organs(Pansexual). I identify with the middle of the...

Those are depressing stats, Jordan. Mine aren't looking to bright either. My ideal is a transguy or lesbian or trans-friendly-straight-guy INTP/ENFJ. .. I do know a transguy who's a fucking creative genius. He's a master at 18 different instruments, music masters at 23, wonderful compositions...

I forgot Harold and Maude! I don't know what I was thinking. Absolute favorite.

I really liked this test; despite the repetition there were few questions that I had trouble answering. Introverted (I) 80.65% Extroverted (E) 19.35% Intuitive (N) 81.25% Sensing (S) 18.75% Thinking (T) 65% Feeling (F) 35%...

Deja vu.. oh god. When that happens I'm usually just sitting there thinking that time is going backwards and I get really weirded out. Actually, my intuition sorta makes me feel that way as well. When I let it take over it's like I'm remembering the present. As for what gender I am in dreams...

I like visualizing things as I am going to sleep, willingly sinking deeper and deeper into a scenario until it picks up enough momentum to be a dream. I did this when I was a child, and just rediscovered it. It can also be a good way to choose at least some of what you dream about without...

I had a weakness as well. I fell in love with an ESFP girl. Whenever there was a problem we just couldn't talk about it. She was so irrational. Yet, she did help me develop my weaker functions more than I'd ever have been able to. Here I was with my great need to question everything and I...

I feel absolutely wonderful. My life these last few days has felt like one of those episodes of Lost that answers a ton of questions you were wondering about since.. well.. forever. But the finale is coming up soon where life is going to drop some huge bombs and then I'm going to have to wait...

Yeah, Thomas seems quite the misogynist. His attitudes towards women in the "INTP courting" thread, in his raps, and especially in this thread are quite sexist. I also agree with the people in the narcissism thread in doubting that Thomas is INTP.

Connecting with ESFP Edit: Nevermind; I found the direction I needed to go in. It was like pulling teeth, but I think I get it and I have a lot to work on. But still, this type (along with ISTJ) seems like the one I've been having the most difficulty communicating with. What are some...

I <3 it. Larry David Woody Allen Mel Brooks Christopher Guest Terry Gilliam Rob Reiner (Princess Bride, Spinal Tap..)

I have reservations about any information I gain from Wikipedia. I tend to use it to help solve problems or figure out paths towards what I want to learn, rather than actually using it tp educate myself. And I just veer away from it when it comes to anything in regards to historical facts. I...

Well said. *lol* at Billy Meier.

The fact that she had to ask says that you were putting out a lot of straight vibes, but you were a well-mannered intellectual in a not-typically-straight jazz dance setting. And you were likely good at dancing, which further adds to the confusion. She was probably delighted that you weren't...

Then I couldn't dance! :( ... I can't, btw.

I actually have high hopes for neutral pronouns in the coming decades, at least in intellectual circles. (I've been planting seeds..)

This was written to Oprah Winfrey in response to her dancing to a 50 Cent song on her show. The excerpt says what I want to say about the discussion between Thomas and Jordan. The entire article is absolutely beautiful.

Mental health is a huge part of our overall health, however. It's the most important for me. Here's why I stay away from weed: Weed seems like it has potential to be the immature INTP's poison. Here are some experiences that run the gamut. Of note are the "difficult experiences" and "Bad trips".

I'm averse to a gender marker. I obviously make no secret of my own gender, but that's mainly because I want to be probed about it by INTPs. Normally I don't discuss it with straight people. Yes, I use gender neutral pronouns. "Ze" and "hir" can be used so easily. In college I used them freely...

Wow. I cried. I needed that after watching "More". Which was also very good, by the way.

I agree with you to an extent. Most people who don't deal with oppression tend to be lighter and distanced from one-another. The ignored need to be unified, rallied, and made passionate on some level to promote social change. It only makes sense that their music would be so explicit; it is...

I'm another person who smirks and is afflicted with 'freight train brain'. I've learned to just face the book down until I'm done with the thought. The same goes for if I'm watching a film by myself; I have to pause it for awhile or else I end up missing a few minutes. I've recently purged my...

Just some food for thought. There are no set roles. ;)

That's a good question. Mostly, my decision was fueled by just feeling weird in my own body. Puberty was a nightmare; for any girl here, just imagine you started growing some facial hair. For any guy here, how would you feel if you developed full breasts, and then were chastised for not taking...

I like this thread for the most part. There are lots of things I'd like to respond to but I don't really have the energy anymore. So I'll just say a couple things. It's hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. - Sally Kempton Not too many people realize the full weight of their...

The end of Dreamfall got to me, and it was the music that pushed me over the edge I think. Weird things get to me as well. Some songs, some books, some lectures in college, some smiles.. Things that made me cry recently: *numerous* parts in Neil Gaiman's A Game of You. A documentary called...

What would the INTP Hero's motivation be? And the whole Hero thing seems like too much annoying maintenance. "Really? You're falling off a building again?" An INTP villian would be largely unproductive - scheming for the fun of it but never really doing anything. The only way an INTP could...

I can't believe Dexter hasn't been brought up here. :confused: I love Firefly.

I'm the same way. I also can't really understand why I'd go back to having a partner. But I still want to because I don't mind feeling some of those feelings sometimes. Caring for another person can be great as well. The lack of control that relationships bring is something I despise, and if...

I was interested in how INTPs react to certain substances as well. I fear dependence on substances and as a rule tend to maximize enjoyment for every usage. I had a mild drinking problem (discussed in that thread). I've had a pack of clove cigarettes since last November and enjoy those every...

I used to need a drink at least once a night to help me relax (age 18-22). Often, though, I'd have more than a few shots worth a night. But nobody could ever tell; no-matter how drunk I would get. I've been averse to alcohol ever since switching to estrogen. I will get nauseated after more than...

That's why I'd always hate being called on in public school, and would give the shortest answer possible in order to satiate the teacher. I'd also never ask questions unless I was in alone with them after class or in a professor's office hours. It's hard for me to decide the depth of an answer I...

That's good to know. My questions seem irrelevant now, but I'm sure I'll have more in the future. I'm INTP. Both my mom(INFP) and my sister(ISTJ) who know me best had no problem helping me sort it out. I'm far from a natural F; though, I have felt a *ton* of pressure to be one. Which makes me...
