Honesty? I think potentially have a shallow perception of identity. That's a bold thing to say, but I am very sincere in this thought. Let me first re-iterate that I do not advocate lying, saying things I don't believe, etc. for the sake of popularity. But then let me further emphasize that...

(Perhaps it would be better as a wiki?)

That last post, snafu, is great. It embodies an idea I occasionally have... Starting a blog that in my mind is called "High Performance Human" whereupon is placed a number of personal development, physiological, psychological, medical, etc. studies/articles/resources/ideas/experiences that, if...

Odd, to then run into this article shortly thereafter: http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/03/denial-science-chris-mooney?page=4 Which I will now proceed to go make a thread on. Pleased to hear the reactions. Also, I allow for people to disagree with the OP, but to do so rationally would...

This thread is very sad. Moderately entertaining, to see how emotionally all the INTPs here have reacted to the OP, who posted a completely neutral and relatively interesting concept... As if it's a value for you to remain unpopular or fringe? I've been fringe/outcast my whole life as much as...

INTPs don't have any special tendency towards creativity, from what I've observed. Creative INTPs would, I imagine, however, exhibit certain correlations in their expression of flavor of creativity--preferring the dark, the complex, the layered, and the minimalistic, for example. That's an...

You joined on my birthday. And I now know how you know.

Wait, wait, wait--Are they referring to *me* when they say "L"? L

איך מצאת? כן, אני סטודנט בירושלים. אתה? מאיפה את\ה?

This INTP hates metal. But the thread caught my eye, as Meshugah is the Hebrew word for Crazy. L

Actually, my last post was annoyed, but fairly well mannered. You didn't apologize for a rude comment--whether you consciously decided to be pretentious or not, you were pretentious. You told me what to do, you told me what my "job" was, you imposed your view of reality as truth; there is no...

You have posted a collection of opinions, emotional responses, and questionable 'facts'. I've already refuted them. I suppose you can keep whistling the same tune if you like, as that is your right. Your points are too shallow to be interesting to further debate, unless you did it formally--then...

Noi Alboi, on the recommendation of someone on this forum. Not bad, but depressing. (Icelandic film) L

@ RyanJF--One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich. Enjoyed that one 6 years ago, still remember it. Otherwise, I've read these in the last two months: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Sophie's World The Go Master The Last Question The Great God Success (A book that has nothing to do...

I watched The Show with Ze Frank while it was still being broadcast originally. It made a **huge** impact on the internet. Most of the things he does in his show that you recognize as common today? I seriously believe he was the originator. Like having choppy scene transitions often? He was the...

Telling people to do things is generally a not a good idea--it assumes you know better than them, and you are superior to them. Second, assuming I haven't thought about my influence after death is insulting, as it's an obvious course of thought to someone engaged in thinking about death. If you...

Don't you get it? I couldn't fucking care less what my influence on this earth is, because it will serve me no pleasure or pain after I leave. I may still decide to influence earth positively while I'm here just for the hell of it, because I'm a good guy, but that doesn't do an iota to remove...

thumbs up on the avatar. hyperbole is usually a good thing. L

...on a log? Is it just me, or does that sound ridiculously uncomfortable? L

GivenAlias, you sound really attractive. Just fyi. L

Well.... not that thin... After all, I hear rumours that she has an eating disorder. L (disclaimer: I am aware that Bird doesn't actually have an eating disorder.)

If you say there isn't much room for debate, then be a man and accept my challenge instead of just saying I'm wrong... Staying in a public high school in America is foolish, and I would advise all to do any other possible form of education available to them, as it almost certainly by default...

I thought both departments wanted you, and assumed that for some reason you thought your state sanctioned school didn't allow double majoring in separate departments. I read not only the context of the post, but the entire thread, as usual. L

Do most people not read the first post of new threads they aren't familiar with? I never just jump in at the end wwithout at least referencing the original question. I wonder what the reading habits of others here are... L

Umm... Why wouldn't a state allow that? It's called a double major. Just do it. If you're going to be in academia your whole life, why not? L

I can half read the Russian alphabet without having ever tried by way of knowing the Greek alphabet. (You encounter the Russian alphabet often in Israel because of the large immigrant community here.) L P.S.--by way of actually making this post useful... go visit how to learn any...

False analogy that gives no useful information, and no reasonable counter. Why play by their rules when there's no benefit to be gained? You still haven't given a why. If this was a debate, you would be badly losing. Speaking of which, would you like to just bring this to the debate corner, and...

Andropov: I think that's a damn good plan, and there's no reason to submit to the system like all these people are saying. There's more than one way to solve a calculus problem... ...little secret to all of you: after your first year of Community College, they will never look at your high...

Which is... where exactly? L

It takes a lot of clicking to keep up with the multitudinous branches that now exist here, and so I find myself becoming bored and giving up--I'm sure there are plenty of engaging conversations I'm not even aware are happening. Can we have a way to view active threads all together and new...

See howtolearnanylanguage's implementation. It's pretty good, except I have more points than posts, and so I'm afraid to post anything that isn't high enough quality to get feedback.... wait a second... L

Borges rocks, though the way I got started on him was a poem falsely attributed to him... It started something like "if I could live my life again, I would do more this and less this." It was very moving, and a letdown to find out that it was actually written by an American having nothing to do...

Tangent, but interesting one--start a new thread? If it wouldn't derail, I'd add my $0.02. Unfortunately, I've nothing for the OP except for this broad, basic knowledge: typology is far from everything. If you think it'll work, don't let ol' Isabelle and co. stop ya'. Further than that, most...

No, I was responding to the OP. I'm fairly convinced at your authenticity, Cory. I don't mean to insult you, but I really doubt you are an INTP. Your mood, personality, communication style (including, for example, your lack of capital letters and particular use of punctuation, your speed of...

Are you sure you're INTP? What has caused your insecurity? L

Audentia: I agree with everything you said, and think it has less to do with being female, and more to do with having depth. That being said, I'm referring to random people you see on the bus, who you know nothing of--how often do you find people, unrelated to their inner merits, attractive? L

Just as an aside, when I said "good point", I was referring to the post saying that one must eat protein, or your muscles will atrophy. Somehow, I hadn't seen the posts after that. L

Good point. L

Have we all had enough chit chat? If I was a mod, I would delete all of that, as it's a complete waste of time for anyone but the single person it's written at to read, and has no relevance. You should consider that as a criteria before posting... Anyways, whatever, moving on. Bird: for that...

I am on the verge of starting a deal where I will be teaching language courses to a group of volunteers at a church--4 to 8 hours of work per month--for what should amount to between $200 and $400, plus generate publicity for me as a private tutor. (This will more than double my current cash...

This is going nowhere, fellas. Cut it out. Joke, half serious response, annoyed response at response, and then a string of argument and justifications about nothing... Let's move on. Bird, how attractive would you be if you weighed sixteen additional pounds? On another note, would you rather...

Well, "The Journey", I find everything you've said in this thread to be a load of crap thus far, and I find myself valuing the opinion of a TED speaker more than you. But that's just my opinion. .L

Something I'm sure every INTP gets irked by: YouTube - RSA Animate - Smile or Die .L

RSA videos are immensely impressive. Check out this one on 21st Century Enlightenment (one of the heavier, deeper ones I've seen so far that really required me to listen and think): YouTube - RSA Animate - 21st century enlightenment Aside from that though, there are a huge number of...

You do realize that penultimate means next-to-last, right? As in, the penultimate syllable in "penultimate" is "tim". To the OP: I "dropped out" of high school in the middle of eleventh grade because I was bored to death, going no where, and was found myself unattracted to the life that I was...

How would you define your sense of style and Aethetics? Clothing, opposite sex, colours, speech, fung shuei, whatever kind of style that you have an opinion on that illustrates your sense of style. .L

You didn't mean redundant, I think. I'm pretty sure you were aiming more for something like "meaningless", as in the word loses meaning since it is completely subjective. Following that, though there are certainly subjective factors in rating attractiveness, there is far that is true...
