Cool - thanks for dropping it and sorry I just made that last post before I saw this - if you like I can remove it for the sake of reconciliation, or if not we'll just let it stand and that will be the end - up to you. Mark

Obviously, it is not me who is getting offended here. I have asked peaceably for us to move on, but rather than focus on the topic at hand, which is not about me - it is about the inquiry into discovering what can skills can be learned by an INTP from and ENTP that the INTP may find beneficial...

I'm still in inquiry mode - but for me this is a good start!

I created a wiki not a spreadsheet :) - but that is Ne at work because I don't believe in pre-planning self-discovery - other than some initial notes I made on how to conduct my inquiry and what sort of things I was keeping my eyes peeled for... Once upon a time, however, I did create a...

...and herein lies the problem. :) I don't see an intelligent response in the typecasting thrown at me: I keep asking for rationalizations, facts, reasons, and all I get are opinions and insinuations. How un-xNTP - in my humble opinon. The most intelligent response by far, and the most...

:)

Hey - what is the difference between the real, user, and sys times? I have never seen these benchmarks.. (then again I am not much of a Java guy...)

On a side note, thank you Fukyo for your input. I thought that yours was perhaps the most intelligent post on the matter so far and I greatly enjoyed reading your input ! :)

Obviously, this is not what is happening, nor does it makes sense as it is self-contradictory. 1. On the one hand, a stubborn desire to question everything 'is' open-mindedness - leaving judgment to rational consideration rather than rational consideration to judgment and helpless appeals to...

Once again, proof... Gentlemen.... PROOF. :)

My dear Lithorn, how nice of you to rush to Adymus' defense! However, I am the one attempting to clarify here, and until such questions as I have asked are addressed, I fear very much that something other than intelligent discourse has taken the helm of this thread. Your oblique reference...

Sorry - this is all a bit arcane. Lacking in context as I am, my mind swims at possibilities. First, it appears that this is the bottle, and bottles often wash up on shores presently unintended, yet may eventually continue their course to their intended destinations. However, that being said...

- I accidentally snickered... ;)

A saltine cracker

It was *humorous* =) - but only in retrospect ;)

Right - that is what I have been getting at - there is "no pretending to be one" involved in my study. Also, arguing doesn't make someone a 'J' - notice that ENTPs are frequent debaters - especially as a form of discourse (in order to bring about new things - not to smash someone to tiny bits...

Certainly, and on any team worth its salt, everyone has a place. For instance, the visionaries forge the way ahead with new ideas, and the people who are extremely good with implementing the ideas implement them, the people who are likewise good at testing them for flaws make good test...

Correct information is always requisite to a collaborative approach. If you disdain my corrections of your opinions about what I have posted, you are free to stop posting at any time. I don't understand why you would put so much effort into criticizing something that you care nothing about =)...

I am amazed at your bias. Firstly, the experiment itself is an INQUIRY - not an attempt to 'act' like something I am not. If you had kept up with my journals you would plainly see this inquiry in the works. Secondly, the comparison of lying seems a horrible slander (one which I would not...

I didn't think I was being offensive... *yawn* I'm still not sold on this biological mbti concept model. It is quite strange to me, in fact, that another INTP would be sold on such a definitive view of anything - it seems against my very grain to base assumptions on static 'truths' because I...

I can understand it as a visual representation of what I have seen happen at times before lol - I don't claim to understand the body language, except perhaps that the (guessing now!) emotional person (from what I have heard feelings run quite strong with emotional people) due to the intensity of...

Hi! Thanks for posting =) Ok, firstly, I am not attempting to change the MBTI - neither do I allow myself to be constrained by it. My experiment is for myself, primarily, secondarily, if I happen upon anything along the way that can be used by anyone else then great! Darwin, Galileo, and...

I don't really know who Ann Coulter and Mr. Levin are but apart from Ms. Rand the rest of your list is scary... although at one time I voted republican (and another democrat) I have never stomached radio show demagoguery :storks: the reason I like Rand is that she *attempts* to re-enforce the...

Lightspeed are you going somewhere else? That is a beautiful canoe and a beautiful picture and those are beautiful words. I have only just met you...

Interesting - I am still baffled by the application of intelligence, yet perhaps this is what the hype is about ? The EQ vs IQ quotient thinggy? It doesn't make any sense to me at all really, but I suppose there are people geniuses out there as well - except (my late father's last wife was...

In tennis, one spends time at first, practicing against a back-board. My father used to do this for hours at a time as a young man. Finally, when you are sufficiently good, you take the skill you practiced against yourself and apply it in a real game with another person - even more than one...

I think an attempt at an explanation would be cool, because I just don't get this type. From what I read, however, I got the impression that in general an EFSJ wants to fit you in her box? Is that correct?

Someone, just now, curiously went to my youtube video associated with my INTP to ENTP wiki project and claimed that I was a 'hot' INFJ. Gee I wonder who that might be? #1 I am not Gay #2 I am not an INFJ #3 Please act your age

She seems quite rational. However, she predicates her ideas on Aristotle, who does not portray the entire picture in the philosophical realm; for that reason it would be difficult for her to have a firm footing philosophically. I tend to think of her as an essayist not a philosopher. She...

Yes. The Fountainhead is exemplary.

Ego cogito ergo sum sed cogitare summa est.

What I find irritating it logical inconsistency. There seem to be a few emotional types running around masquerading as rationals. I find that supremely annoying. Especially when it becomes glaringly obvious that their responses are based on how they feel as opposed to impartial and due...

Ahem... *coughs* :rolleyes:

Is there a rationalization for this opinion? Like where did this come from? I just got here remember, so forgive me if this strikes me as completely off the cuff and unsubstantiated. A great deal of what he said I actually found quite helpful and related to quite a bit. I saw no cause at all...

I think this is the confusion - in the case of BA-Pi - (once again how can an Intuitive make this mistake?) is centered around a confusion between abstract and concrete; look at the hypothetical replies you formed verses the ones presented... Firstly, 'here' is a denotative word that brings...

Weak. Obviously, this is a conscious subversion of the dialog. The primary question should be - why is everyone preoccupied with a typecast different than the one presented? Is this an INTP forum or a "gang-up on newcomers who think they are INTPs forum?' I agree with Spiral: What is...

Don't ask me! I don't know how these things work! That is what is so fascinating about them! =)

Anthile - did you see the new Sherlock Holmes? I thought it was pretty good! Better than I expected Downey to be - at the very least it was a great effort and I dug the cool boxing routine =) That was awesome! And it was cool to relate to his abstract round about way of dealing with things -...

Just for comparison's sake I thought I would include this other test of which I took a screen capture...

My Dear Apple-Pi, I think perhaps, just perhaps, if you looked at the dialog between myself and spiral that you would see the answer there... But since you are apparently less intuitive than I would have garnered - I will spell it out for you in concretes (or whatever terrible approximations...

Right on dude ;) TOTALLY (and for sure...)

@ BA-Pi: It is not that I don't believe in conflicted individuals, it is that I believe in rationality as Imperative. In my belief, a rational will (because I will and do) systematically deconstruct whatever needs to be deconstructed to get at its root and once the root has been unearthed to...

Re: In response to the ENTP wanna-be ENTP Right on ;) Quite. In fact I found their system of MBTI type interrelationship daft. To think that a mere linear algorithm could be fitted to the intricacies of the interactions between the various types and their idiosyncracies is a great example...

Lyra - oh no - what is this sub-titulary reference to being banned??? Please no self-banning =) - and more seriously, I really like both of you guys (meaning Spiral and Lyra) so please do not be offended by my non-partisanism! Lyra, you will always be endeared to me by your courageous...

So when is the dissection planned??? Ack ! Nevertheless thanks very much for sharing your information even if I am shaken to my core by the stark figures without ancillary explanation! :rolleyes: So I take it from my fast read of this post that the data supplied are from a study conducted for...

Yes, in other words it is quite subjective. Let me address a few specifics regarding your post however: 1. Who is the 'we' to which you refer? Are 'you-all' practicing clinicians, forensic profilers, research scientists, graduate-level students in the cognitive sciences, or amateur...

PS - I might be addicted to the INTP forum -heh

Right... in fact I have to say that (oh and sorry for the Fe question I was in the midst of my earlier misinterpretation at that point) for the purpose of self-determination or any other form of determination, that a negative identification response ought to weigh more heavily than a positive...

That is essentially what I do, with the exception of when that function is shut down, at which point I resort to a variety of strategies, including Left-brained analysis to lead me back to the intuitive side and be unstuck again. You have never interacted with me personally and have only...
