Welcome Sapphire Harp. I am sure you will find many kindred spirits here. I look forward to encountering your sapphire script in future posts. :)

Much better. I feel so much more comfortable with my INTPness now. Well done. You've reached a real climax in creative expression in this thread. :D Who knows what will come next??

*Nia faints*

LOL - but its sexist. You need to find a more inclusive take on it. See if you can come up with one ;) Why can't we have revolving banners? Since NoI (I love this; it sounds like 'no hay' - very appropriate) has put such time and creativity into his banner, I think we should display it for at...

I consider myself thoughtful but not particularly intelligent. I don't store much information - forget everything I read. I am really low on spatial and mathematical intelligence. And I do not think particularly abstractly - I cannot tolerate pure philosophy; It has to have some kind of...

this illustrates what I was attempting to articulate before. To what extent is it OK to have this internal observer ie. natural to our type? Are we fretting over the fact that the dominant psychological culture, which is tuned into feeling and the feeling mode of relating, is denying our way of...

I guess Reiss left out the extreme, if not psychopathic, desire for status. Its still an interesting way of looking at personality. You identify what you are high or low in (the rest has a neutral effect). so INTPs (no quips PLEASE) might be strong on curiosity, independence low on social...

I haven't got time to do this really but.....just a quick post! I'm reading Steven Reiss, The Normal Personality. His thesis is that personality derives from a mixture of 16 basic motives and that psycho-dynamic theory, which de-normalises many common behavioural and emotional problems, is...

another thread hijack. Discipline has gone to pots around here. INTPness has gone wild.

OK, now you're making me articulate a feeling. Not a good idea at this time of night. You said once that people accused you of not knowing when to stop, of going too far. I get the impression that you're doing just that and that's just great because you've held yourself back for a hell of a...

NoID10ts, you have not lulled me into thinking you have mellowed. There's a big difference between posting and reading a post. I am serioulsy worried about you but I am not getting into some banter about INTPness with you. On the other hand, iIf you want a drink then maybe you ought to...

I'm the crushed spirit!!! You don't know how she talks to me. Seriously, she is a beautiful, intelligent, witty and extrovert ENTP. She is dangerous and I'm the only one who knows how to manage her - and she needs managing! I've mentioned her antics before. I'm in total awe of her. :cool:

As long as you realise that you'd be on the wrong end of it in no time. I haven't yet seen a man/boy get the better of her :rolleyes: I'm longing for the day. ;)

Yeah, Cryptonia, are you a lion tamer?:eek:

True, yes back to the topic. I had a real problem fitting in at school. Basically the school was a dump and was full of kids who didn't give a damn about learning. I came from a working class background but didn't ever feel like the others in the school. So I separated myself from everyone...

This is a really interesting conversation! I've got to go however - to an 80th birthday party where much alcohol is due to be consumed! There is something zen like in this journey but it also resonates with some sayings from Christ ie. Mathew 16:24-25 and Mathew 18:3. Its about denying who...

I've been through three periods in my life when I've shed my 'false self'. On all those occasions it has been both painful and a profound relief. On all those occasions I have had the support of my husband (we've been together for a long time!) which makes it a lot easier. What amazes me is...

Excuse me. AI said I DID have the INTPness. Can you have too much INTPness - can your INTPness be too grandiose? Too crude? Too gross? Yes, is the answer to that. :rolleyes::D

@ Ogion, thanks for the support - you can be an honarary female as you seem to be very intuitive, insightful and sophisticated in your taste ;):D Jesin, why not just put it up and see how the others react. A very non INTP thing to do but I can feel my long hidden J emerging - just do it! It...

OK, that was scary Cryptonia, esp the advice for people whose partners are addicted to the net. Some woman upped and left her husband and family to go and live with someone from India she had been chatting to. I'm now a lot more sympathetic to my husband; but he sits and watches football...

LOL. That really did make me laugh out loud. My husband is beginning to get jealous of this forum. I need to go to forum's anonymous.

As I said, NoID10ts, its too vain. Better a commission from Lor than a self portrait. Decision made. And the ass trumpeteer is too puerile = male and childish.I've got two brothers; this is exactly the type of thing they'd like. I'm feeling distinctly isolated here being a lone female voice -...

IB ignore this lot - they're just getting cruder and cruder (imagine Elizabeth Hurley saying this, with slightly raised nose and haughty voice). I would love to come to North Carolina because this is where my friend comes from - Raleigh in fact. I would love to explore the place as I have...

I love it :D It's fun, representing INTPness sense of humour It's got lots of movement, representing our eternal questing minds And its got suns - yay, representing our warm welcome and intimate atmosphere Then, when we've hooked them in, we can show our real colours - represented by the...

so that's what it feels like to have my INTPness stroked. No wonder I'm addicted to this place. ;):D

Does this mean that I have INTPness too? Wow :D

OK, OK Anthony Hopkins. See what I mean about not remembering anything. For some reason I always get those two muddled up (comes from the accumulation of dying brain cells due to drink - honestly I feel like a bloody alcoholic on this forum. Is this degree of teetotalism normal in the States?)...

God, Jennywocky, you sound just like me. I'd come as long as: - lots of champagne is available and people wouldn't frown at me for partaking - no demonstrations of INTPness - if you must then reserve a special room where you can all compare and contrast your INTPness out of sight - no...

Well, I drink a lot by the standards of this forum. But I don't consider this a lot by British standards - it's about medium. Seriously, everyone drinks in the UK and you are considered a bit different if you do not. I try and restrict my drinking to the weekends and to socialising. But I...

What about an old, slightly decrepid mansion on the outskirts of a declining, east coast town - like this: The grand old building has seen better days, the stonework a tasteful combination of victorian flair and gothic style. Inside is a vast library of tall wooden shelves and thick ancient...

But did the people meet your expectations? Were you surprised, delighted, disappointed or just chilled? Did you get on like you thought you might? any conflicts? How did you organise the event? Tell us all!

Elizabeth Hurley's cool. She has a slightly deeper voice than me but the accent is about right. Actually, NoID10ts, I have noticed a marked tendency to agree with me over the past couple of weeks....either the accent must be working or...you don't dislike conflict by any chance???;)

OMG, the expectations...I'd have to be witty, smart, informed about the latest obscure films, have a string of references at my fingertips, talk chaos theory and 'math', discuss male bonding rituals, be an expert on MBTI, brilliantly compose poetry off the cuff and know the etymology of every...

You're not thinking of waging a conspiracy, are you?

You should - that's if you want to up your film star quotient :) Hmm, there's an idea - cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, spiritual initelligence, filmic intelligence.

coke is banned. They are stealing the ground water in India and tacitly supporting the killing of trades unionists in Colombia. See Mark Thomas' book: www.amazon.co.uk/Belching-Out-Devil-Adventures-Coca-Cola/dp/0091922933 or the youtube video: 301 Moved Permanently If you go to the video...

Oooh, those vowels :cool: Say - 'do', 'to', 'believe', 'me', 'passion', 'die' - for me ;). They sound like soft toffee - deh iee, bull ee uv. Lovely!!! :D Is the film set in Texas or New Mexico. I did love it - mesmerising. I could never decide between that and 'There Will Be Blood'...

Well I was thinking about this...calming the aggressive thoughts of the people by setting up a cult and then being a repository of total power and domination. Despite my sweet facade, behind it all I do have this tendency towards megalomania....:cool:

Awww - I wanted to be the High Priestess.....pleeese can I be High Priestess!

I was thinking the same thing - Nice Fordy we love you :D

LOL :D About that casting of english actors as baddies....that is REALLY annoying :rolleyes: Omg - do you think they will be insulted :eek::phear: I just love John Cleese especially in Fawlty Towers. Talking of accents, I love them too, especially in A Fish Called Wanda staring Cleese -...

Bollocks! Bollocks! Perhaps one could provide the etymology of this expression which one has never encountered before - having such a refained sensibility. Pray, what is a "British wanker" is this associated with the rather vulgar practice of onanism? *Nia reflects to herself - this is...

I wish I could do that. I'm rubbish at accents and acting - I mean totally! My 13 year old son is a brilliant actor and can put on any accent he wishes. I will now ask him to read out all the posts in the relevant accents - what films star Tommy Lee Jones?:D

Agent Intellect - One suspects that you refer to the rarther vulgar film character, Eliza, in My Fair Lady. One is far more refained and one does hope to bring enlightenment to the denizens of this forum through one's culture and breeding. ;)

Two of my closest friends come from Mississippi and Raleigh, N Carolina. They have extremely strong southern drawls which reminds me of sun, hospitality, graciousness and a wonderfully slow way of life. I see verandahs, Cary Grant, being swept off my feet by tall, handsome, patrician...

@ Fordy - you see what I mean ;)

Haven't tried that one before. What a great excuse to have a drink on a Thursday night!

Especial welcome to another Brit ;). We are severely outnumbered here - though there is a contingent from Northern Ireland. Now about these North Americans.....*Nia whispers something to Fordy and makes him swear not to reveal what was said* :phear::D

Any local real ale. The hoppier the better. I like Abbot ale because it reminds me of uni. As for spirits (is that what you mean by liquor?) I'm not that keen on anything neat apart from dark rum and a really girly drink - Southern Comfort (sorry :D)

Double welcomes to Ms Independent and Soulka from someone who could have written much of what you have BUT who has 10/15 years or more on you both - so even less of an excuse :( Jill of all trades, master of none - yup, that's me constantly getting side-tracked - yup, which reinforces the...
