Over here in Ireland, there is no such thing as majors and minors. One has to choose the entire course they wish to pursue when in high school. Some courses have a specialization choice (like a general engineering course - civil; mechanical; electronic; etc) and some courses contain choice in a...

I'm in my last year of being a teenager. Enjoy it, and you're (apparently) lucky for finding out your type (and how it's ok to be perceiving, intuitive and introverted, etc) early.

Anyone bewildered by the cats/dogs question? Anyways, I think that there wasn't enough freedom in the test. I mean like I enjoy competitive multilayer RTSes (e.g: WarCraft 3; StarCraft) but I also enjoy single player platform games with collectables and achievements (Ratchet & Clank; Ape...

I actually use poetry to convey ideas and discharge emotion. I have a hypothesis though about the discharging of emotion which implies that apathy is the state people's unconsciousness strive for, in some shape or form at least (my hypothesis is early in development though). Maybe these are...

Welcome to the forums. If you were ever to compose a poem dedicated to me or inspired by my existence, I would be sure to return the favour.

Oh, ok. I was kinda confused with your initial post because it appeared that you were making a distinction between ways in which dancing "skill" can be perceived (which was a sound contribution to this thread - it puts the question of "what dancing skill is" into focus), but then went on to...

Well there are and have been some people who have benefited society by their thinking as opposed to action. Some physicists and philosophers and such.

I don't think even "free-style" dancing it is 100% about confidence. There are some people who could be really confident yet still laughed at on the dance floor... and these people might still stay up there dancing. And then there are some people who can execute some wicked moves in the privacy...

Heyo; welcome to the forums. Compose a poem either dedicated to me or inspired by my existence, and I will return the favour (eventually).

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well, but I then thought that "new dance moves" have to come out of somewhere. Would Ne play a part at all in the dance scene, does anyone reckon?

INFJ? Eh... yeah why the hell did you think that you were an INTP? (I only noticed the F when I checked Brain's profile page to see if the MBTI was altered.)

What function(s) is/are used when one dances, if any at all? Or another question would be: "what function(s) being developed would help an individual to be good at dancing (the most), if any?" I guess the kind of dance must be considered as well. For example, some dances are predetermined...

Yeah, no problem, but I'm gonna have to do some Googling now...

Ok, that initially felt weird. I'm a 19 year old Irish male. Anyway, welcome to the forums.

I define creativity as "the fluency and originality of mental composition", and not just limited to art/music. In fact, according to my definition, one can compose a piece of art and use no creativity at all: by drawing what they see (they are just using their dexterity, perception and drawing...

Yeah; it is true that StarCraft is pretty much the best RTS game ever made so far. Eventually someone will create something better. Maybe it could be StarCraft II? Who knows?

Maybe a poetry competition could be on the list? We'd require non-bias judges for that though. If we are playing any games, RTSs (real time strategies) are FTW! E.g: StarCraft; WarCraft III; Age of Empires III; etc.

This is a good point to make. To prevent individuals from getting pissed off when I state that I believe that they are a "feeler" as opposed to a "thinker", I usually immediately afterwards state that this axis has nothing to do with one's level of intelligence; it is just that thinkers tend to...

Whoa, don't even try to trump Mr M: Mr Mathematics!

Are we doing the same leaving cert? The one I'm doing has a cap of 600 points. I'm in a kinda retarded class lol. I'm not in slow honours or anything; there is no slow or fast honours in my school for maths: just honours and pass. However, I am in a class which is mostly composed of people from...

Oh, so Oliver Murphy taught you then? :P

I do the same maths course sagewolf does. 99% - Wow! I got 50%. >_> I got kicked out of the exam though and lost about 15mins (because the 2nd year beside me asked why I had 2 calculators and I responded and a teacher heard). Timing is what kills me in exams: "I'm a power thinker; not an...

Lol. You sure are an ass hole. ^_^ Sorry for trying to help out. I guess I described a consequence of their application. In the future, I guess I'll just link to Wikipedia or something. How you guys described how to use semicolons is how I've been using them, but they come so naturally to...

The problem is the Internet. Many individuals are ass holes on the Internet because they are shadow dancers: what they do on the InterWebz wont come back to haunt them in real life (usually). I don't think the problem is yours, Akacae; I reckon it is with the individuals disrespecting you...

Semicolons represent pauses slightly longer than commas (but not as long as periods). They are also great to use when listing things. Examples of their use are: "French class is so boring; I always fall asleep!" "When I go to the shop, I shall get: bread and milk; candy; soda; paper and pens...

Give me an example of where one can be depressed but still has a reason. (Also, the reason I stated "gloomy" is because you wont accept the term "depressed". One can't use the term in its own description.)

Right, so if one can justify (intellectual reasoning) why one is gloomy, it means they are not depressed. Thanks for the info I guess.

"In funerals, it is not the dead who are mourned for, but those left of being." Sure, you mourn for their departure, but this is because it is you who is emotionally left at unease. When people realize this, and drop a bit of selfishness, one day funerals may have joyful atmospheres: "an...

Re: $$$$ INTP team role $$$$ You don't have to do all the questions. If you don't do a question, it notifies you:

I did a 1 day game design workshop recently, and my weak Perception alignment paid off. Yes, I'm an INTP but on my first test I got 50/50 P/J. Actually, it might not have been that. I was like the oldest in my group and I had the most knowledge/experience about game design (I'm the lead game...

True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character...

I've already started. I've read Feet of Clay (but yes, I read it for an English class assignment). It was good, yeah, but I've had tons more fun playing video games. I didn't come out of the blue and attack books. It's just a counterattack, stimulated by the challenging of me IRL for not...

Click one of the figures on the poll. I got that with the His Dark Materials series. It felt like a part of me died when I tuned the last page. Lyra's Oxford did not purge the pain! I'd say the video game players are better equipped to deal with such situations. I just played a video game...

I don't read much. If I had a book in one hand, a video game in the other, and then also a computer where I can go foruming and/or design games, well, reading the book is the lowest priority. The only books I own are like the ones I had to purchase for English class. My sister has a good few...

Well, it isn't necessarily the existence of determinism which is what I am basing my argument for free-will's lack of existence. When an entity makes a decision, all the factors involved can be put under either of the two sets: "the content of the brain"; and "the specific situation". The...

Stop looking it as a punishment; it is a necessity for society to run smoothly. If prisons' goal was to punish people, then the prisoners would be tortured. Well, I'd consider mandatory euthanasia to be what is deserved; for what was done to be undone; but that's another issue. But we are...

Consciousness must be produced by something physical. By tampering with a brain, one can affect another's mind. By destroying a brain, one can kill another. My point is that if you programed the thoughts of someone into a robot, would the robot have consciousness?

That's I very good hypothesis, and I'd state that I agree with it. Still, what would happen if the data within one's brain were to be saved and then copied onto another brain? How special is this consciousness, really?

Ahh, but you could punish them and then tolerate your own actions ("forgive" yourself) afterwards because you too don't possess any free will. Yes, life isn't fair. That's why I go around stating that I'd issue mandatory euthanasia to every human ignorantly instantly and painlessly. This would...

Oh yeah. This is the best part. With our knowledge, we can justify anything we do; or at least not feel bad about it. If I kill someone, guess what? No one can't blame me. >:) Also, on a more society-running-smoothly approach, yes, there is still justification in jailing individuals who...

When someone makes a decision, the verdict of this decision is determined by the content of their brain and the particular situation, as I have stated before (and since I evaluate neither is the choice of the person, free will does not exist). It ain't so much that God or whatever already...

In order for determinism to not be correct, there must be some magical thing which allows for free will. When one makes a decision, the decision's verdict is composed in their brain based on two things. The first is the situation they are placed under, and the other is the content of their...

Yes, that is correct. Actually, I remember that I was going to compose a post sating that mentioning determinism would only make your situation worse. If you evaluated that determinism is correct, not only have you been put through hard times, but you can't blame anyone.

I didn't recommend suicide. I stated that it was an option. And, this is an INTP forum. INTPs are theoretical people. Experience isn't a requirement for recommendations. Reason and choosing against feelings are phenomena produced from determinism. When one reasons or chooses against...

Life is a curse. People are forced into it. Begrudging individuals death is what is disgusting.

Excuse me; it is no joke. Suicide is an option, and should be taken seriously. And please; my ideals or no jest either. I would appreciate if you didn't belittle them. Although I wont take this personally, I still wish to make it clear that I am not joking. I take pity to the misery of this...

If it were up to me, you'd be given mandatory euthanasia ignorantly, instantly and painlessly straight away (but hey, I'd issue that to every human if I could). But that ain't gonna happen, so I guess next time someone states there is something wrong with you, state that they are but stardust...

DotA ain't a shooter game lol, but I know that was just a misunderstanding. Anyway, yeah, I'm a gamer. My favourite genera is competitive real time strategy games (RTS), like StarCraft and WarCraft III. I am also an (unsuccessful) game designer, and I'm currently the lead game designer of an...

Exact same situation as me!

I'm a poet and lyricist myself. I also listen to the radio a lot. When judging (yes; that word) the excellence of music, I tend to put greater emphasis on the lyrics than most others would, and I'm considering starting up a lyrics criticism blog, but that could just end up coming into...
