I got a halfway decent shot with my telescope. If I can get a better one, I'll upload it later.

Tie between Annie Hall and...maybe Hitch?

My worst ever hangovers have all been with Vodka. I hate the taste of vodka and I hate hangovers.

INFP - Words that rhyme with 'fluffy' Note: This is an atrocious thread. But it made me laugh in the middle of studying for an exam today, so I posted it. Sue me.

I've noticed that there are certain words and phrases that each type tend to like and/or use, that sort of highlight their idiosyncrasies. I mean these words are just, downright verbal porn to these folks. Once they hear them they want to go run home into their little private places and...

I love this thread. Today I had to take a miniature break from work because I've been kind of stuck in a thought-loop similar to the vein of this thread. Wanting ultimate truth (as always) but realizing the limitations of my own vantage point and experiences, sorting through external...

Git from underneath those bushes! Gon Git! Git! ....... ....So you're not lurking anymore :D

What do you think? https://youtu.be/wXwj4jMnWZg

FYI, I've P'Med a few people on here about the story. If you're interested, I can arrange for you to have a free copy. Of course, I always appreciate support as an artist too so if you really like the story... *cha ching* :D I'd be happy to give INTPforum members a copy :) Just let me know.

Good analogy. I might add though that there can be more than one kind of intelligence. As the Einstein saying goes, can't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. A good example of that would be a mechanical engineering friend of mine who graduated recently (ISFP). The guy built an entire...

No, not at all intended. All the major groupings are different in their own way and in their own context. Also, to your bit about being 'smart'. NTs probably do have more of a natural inclination to pick up a skill like mathematics/logic. But that alone doesn't make that person 'smarter'...

You're right. It's actually selfish on my part to have been this way, though my initial sentiment still is what it is. I joined here figuring most contributors would probably have more interesting things to say than I, and I'd be able to marinate on their thoughts and respond later. 'Thought...

Hey, who said I embrace only one side? You must not have read my entire post :) I'm saying I don't think they actually are only 1-2% of the population. I've come to find that INTs are much more common in the world than is often thought here. Yeah, I could have went without saying that...

(And that's why this didn't go in that thread.) This forum kind of blows now. I came here in 2010 because I, like most new members, was trying to learn more about myself. I thought there was an explanation to why I'm 'weird', I guess. I have learned many things about typology and cognitive...

I've been into speed runs too, since last summer. My interests lately haven't changed. Focused on the same things I was 3 years ago because I'm at the 'finish line', so to speak.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly I've long been an Eastwood fan.

Anyone remember Scruff McGruff the crime dog? A corny, 80's era mascot. Well.... https://youtu.be/DzLyqAJIVbA Also, reposting this one from below since it was deleted. https://youtu.be/3-VuGEVhFSo

This has been my song of the summer. The first minute might throw you off but then comes some interesting changes. Kind of like me, in some respects...:D Slightly off-beat drums, nice synths. https://youtu.be/65YAJmKFQxY By the way, have no idea what that footage is.

This commercial is so my sense of humor. It is exactly like something I'd write. https://youtu.be/tsa26Vcz8_A

You should stay until you have a really good action plan for what you'll do when you're out. Obviously you have thought about this quite a bit. What I mean is, not only should you have a plan, but you should already have momentum with that plan, whether its money or certification with some...

I'm wayyy too blunt. I always say exactly what I mean and it sometimes hurts people's feelings--and, in past years, I wouldn't care at all. I figured 'truth is what's most important' and it is but sometimes you can miss it's nuance when you don't have patience. I've grown a lot the last few...

I always thought you were INFP. But what do I know.

I thought I was an artist as a kid. Used to sketch a lot but then I realized what I liked in sketching was the architecture. I wasn't a free-flower without rules; I liked complex patterns and tried to abstract them as much as possible before re-establishing some kind of order. That was fun...

You made me realize I might have a problem with authority too. I never thought I did but I notice whenever my personal space or ability to make a decision is encroached upon, I'm up in arms. Its flared up a lot in dealing with my fiancees parents even though they both have been very kind and...

Hahaha....:confused: Yeah I think writing this novel has improved me in many ways. At the same time, I think any of us would go start to finish with something we're really passionate about. The trick for some is finding the passion I suppose. And it took three years but the next installment...

Umm, I haven't posted a single line from the book yet. Not on here, anyway. The above is a random outburst of silliness.

Its the beginning of my book series, Gemma Gamma. I really want to share it with some of you guys. Or all of you guys. One or two of you is fine. Or four. Really, ten is close to ideal. Twenty may be perfect. Twenty-one is too many. Twenty-two, is out. Twenty-three is somehow quite...

This actually isn't a problem, so don't feel bad. I feel the same way. The amount of things I want I can count on one hand. 1. Ultimate companion wife that is also Hot (check. we're engaged) 2. SRT Viper (in a few weeks) 3. Downtown apartment (not long after the Viper) 4. Travel the World...

I was thinking financial planning until I become more educated. Money has always been a headache for me but at the same time, its incredibly irresponsible to ignore. From the small bit I've learned, I don't think most people are sufficiently taught the subject in school. A good foundation...

This. I do appreciate typology and have gotten into cognitive reading. Like, looking for visual cues that highlight someone's functions. There definitely are a lot of patterns once you get used to it and its sort of cheat sheet on a person's tendencies. I will admit I use it to that extent...

Dexter Morgan is an obvious INTJ. Mine is Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park. Closest to being a childhood hero, for me. Jeff Goldblum is a real INTP as well.

That's awesome. I used to do flips when I was a kid with my older brother but I wasn't ever great at it.

Exactly what I've done. I haven't been much into lifting recently but I do have a lot of gym experience over the last 7 years. Main motivation was the always fitting the skinny nerdy stereotype basically, as well as my personal doubts about ever weighing more than a toothpick. I learned a lot...

Definitely ENTJ. Love working with them when its just about work.

Extroverted and Introverted are easily confused in my opinion. My dad is the prototypical ENTP, for example, and he's often confused for an introvert. I've never been 'shy' but I've mostly always been reserved. I do talk to people, even a lot, when I actually have questions or doing some basic...

Captured and tortured I's formerly living in solitude reveal they prefer being alone.

How tall are you? Stand on a structure that tall, and then don't fall off it. :D

Stop it! Just stop it! You hear me? Stop it. (I feel like all NTs need someone to do this to them, since we all go through this at some point in our lives.)

Lol that song was literally the first thing that came to mind.

This is one of the problems I think most about. This and Zeno's paradox. I think we'll more likely run into observational limits before we find a truly 'fundamental' particle. From that standpoint, I think it is impossible to answer and we won't ever know. That said, doesn't mean we can't...

To be honest I'm not sure if I'm Si or Ti dominant (And I've spent so many years thinking about it now that I don't care anymore.) But I know I have Ti Ne Si and Fe in some order. I'm a writer/scientist-in-training right now and as far as the writing goes, I totally suffer from this (the...

I've been writing a book and have suffered this problem. I have had periods of consistency where I force myself to sit down and do at least 15-30 minutes a day or longer and saw many positives come from it. But the best writing I've put down in the entire work so far, came in short bursts of an...

Calculus really? Huh. If you're taking too many classes I can see why it would be difficult, but undergraduate math on the whole is like learning a language. Its hard or very hard if you don't practice and the opposite if you do. It may not seem like it and I feel for your struggle, but that's...

Well, in the way you described it its not quitting. Give yourself all the time you can to think. Be a think tank. Fresh minds like yours are needed badly, today. Make sure to act on developing that philosophy of yours though. The only thing I'd ever quit was living a life that wasn't true to...

Hunter gatherer - Hunt for food, gather food and the essentials. Survivalist ethos. Gather wanderer - Gather information, wander the universe gathering more information. Honestly if I had been single that would be a dream job but I took the other alternative and am happy about it, but this...

What you said so funny and so true. I have had bad experiences with ISTJs (one of my physics research profs) in the workplace. Again, if they're balanced with life experiences (and this goes for any type of person) they will have at least a small inkling of adaptability, even if they don't...

Okay I'll try this, since I've been looking for a thread to vent in my recent irritation with one of these types. ESTP - Once you get accustomed to their communication style, they're actually quite nice to have as friends. They can be short-sighted but also refreshingly logical and socially...

I wouldn't expect for 'INTP' types not to get along with INFPs. In my experience they are very easy to get along with and generally perceive every day situations similarly to the way we do, even though they may handle them differently. In fact just about every INFP type I've ever met has become...

In my mind, she's already Mrs. Gather. We're both just pacing ourselves so we can set up an awesome nest egg. And we have seriously talked about 'us' and know where we're going with it. The peace of mind one gets from simplifying this essential area of life is just...so cool. I always sucked at...
