I suggest things from time to time- just not as frequently as he does. And I do do things that he's not up for- he's not my sole outlet to life or anything. And if I'm not interested in doing something that he wants to do, I just don't do it. He always asks if I'm interested in doing a...

One one-way ticket to Rotterdam, please. And then I will just roll all over that car...

Yeah, we get those, too. They're not bad fried up with some eggs.

Yes, I think it's something we INTP females especially have to pay attention to, and I do agree it has merit. (I guess I was thinking more along the male reader POV which, why? Why was I doing that? We females as exist as well...)

Yay! What especially do you listen to? And what is it about the music that appeals to you?

Aw hell, I'm an INTP. I think I was ovulating or something before when I decided I was an INFP, and then I was premenstrual when I was an INXP. Female hormones are screwy. You guys have no idea how much they mess with our personality. I suspect it's even screwier for T females, because we have...

An aside, Enne: how the hell did you get a hold of my senior picture?

Yep, the malady is mutual. :) Unfortunately, it tends to manifest itself as this: http://intjforum.com/showpost.php?p=208144&postcount=21 But also, I like to please people I care about. It makes me feel good to make someone else happy. Usually others have desires that they want to...

Re: Absence of the forum Bye. Sniff.

Re: Absence of the forum Wow. I am really bummed about this. Soth, you are one of my favorites on here- a true compadre that I can relate to. If you have a chance to read this, though, I just want to tell you that I existed as a teenager pre- the Internet and I managed to survive. I read a lot...

I have this problem as well, and it is kind of killing me. But I'm trying to write a novel, not a screen play. Not that the same problems described above don't also exist in writing a screenplay, but I also think a screenplay might be easier for an INTP than a novel because you don't have to pay...

I don't seem to like what most people on here consider INTP music at all- by this I mean Tool/ Dream Theater sort of stuff. (But I like Nirvana and the Pixies- is that INTP music?) How would you label the primary sort of music I like- acoustic well-written lyrics Bob Dylan sort of stuff and good...

Yeah, really. I've made two children of my own, although I highly doubt my daughter is an INTP. She screams F. Literally. :rolleyes: And I have to add, as an INTP female, yes I have felt like an unusual bird, but I don't feel like a stranger on a foreign planet or anything. For one, there are...

That would be possible. I know that in the past I was very risky- free climbing, back country snowboarding off large cornices, and when I was child I found climbing to the tops of trees exhilarating. Maybe it has to go along with the all or nothing attitude/approach we INTPs are supposed to...

That's it exactly. If he were less active and more introverted, he would be around quite a bit more and I'd have very little alone time and THAT would drive me nuts, Ermine. But when I want to do something, I have someone who is more than willing, which is nice. I don't have to exert any effort...

I think you know, right? This isn't the ES-whatever site. So for me its.... dolla dolla bills, yo!!

Oh, something else I wanted to add- my husband's dreams are always active. He's always jumping over a cliff or flying or skateboarding or, yes, having sex. So that's something else to focus on, Mango. You also need to be active in your dreams.

Red Toad... funny. Yeah my husband thinks the MBTI is completely pointless. He did the test to humor me, but got exactly 50% on everything. Anyway, he's very smart too at things I am not smart at (Calculus, figuring out how to solve problems with multi-million dollar printers- his job). Being...

Brain is here to fill you in, Banana! I am married to an ESTP, so I know what the hell I'm talking about. (And Red Toad is correct. They fall asleep the second they close their eyes, if not before. And don't EVER give them a book to read while lying down. It is completely pointless. They will...

This: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E0q_XHV9P4&feature=related I am using this opportunity to promote A.A. Bondy because I consider him to be the shiznit.

Praise be! I shall witness The Rapture! As far as finding yourself, Red Toad: My experience has been that self-help and philosophy may be useful, but they only go so far. What has helped me more than anything is just picking something that interests me, doing it, and discovering whether it...

Sure. Why not? Makes sense to me. There's naturopaths who firmly believe that candida albicans also messes with its host's mind. I went to one who said that this was my problem and that I shouldn't eat any sugar, wheat, yeast or dairy to 'starve' the yeast. I tried it for awhile but I couldn't...

When I am writing fiction freely with no concern as to whether it makes sense and yet, it still manages to do so. When I am in the form of another character, I feel free to be my truest self.

What Banana Mango said. And I would like the drive to complete my book, and complete it well. And The Mighty Hand of Red Toad hath striketh his enemies. And then He heldeth Banana Mango in the palm of His Hand and saideth, "You are my chosen one, Banana Mango. To you no ill will shall...

I'm pretty sure it's not possible for me to utter a single sentence without using a qualifier of some sort. At least I think. Jennywocky- Funny about your ESFP son. The big joke between me and my ESTP husband is that he always says things as if it is The Word of God. "And he hath commanded...

Face the fact: yes, you are.

I'm kind of doubting it, you seem to be too into theories and abstract ideas. But why do you think that? I would say, for one, you are 15, so your personality isn't completely developed. For two, Ne seems to be extremely dominant in you. It's what makes you create. It's what makes you open...

Yes, very much so. If I do laugh with someone, it means I feel very comfortable around them. And yes, truthseeker, I wholeheartedly agree.

Definitely not to me. I have very little Ni. I'm all possibilities with no clarity. Ni seems to determine the correct course, the proper option, if I understand it correctly. It's like a voice in your head saying, 'this is it,' without wavering while Ne- wavers.

Yeah, I'd say both/all of those things used to/ maybe still describe me awfully well. That's what's so confusing. But I also think I've transformed quite a bit in the last few years. I've let go of a lot of my youthful ideology and grown up a bit, guess you could say.

Well, you're a pretty low J if you're a J, so that could be part of the confusion. As far as your OP question: I've suspected I was an INFP who became an INTP. But now the more I think about it, I think I just wanted to be an INFP. I love literature, art, and music- so of course I wanted to...

Hey soth, I finally took an archetype test: http://avidtran.tripod.com/archetype.html Is this the one you took? I got Sage: Sages find freedom through understanding the big picture (global or cosmic) and a capacity for detachment. At the lowest level, the Sage may have little interest in the...

This paragraph from eclecticenergies struck me: Fives, especially with the Four wing, sometimes mistype themselves as Fours. Such Fives recognize that they have strong emotions and don't identify with the often extremely cerebral portrait of type Five. But, Fives, unlike Fours, always retain...

I've got to say, I'm kind of digging the enneagram today. I think it might flesh out some of the nuances the MBTI lacks. Not only is there the type, there is the wing you prefer, and then your instinctual variant- combining all of these together can elicit a fairly tailor-made personality...

^^ More often I'm a 5w4 than a 4w5, anyway. But I'm actually a 5 with a 9 wing, followed by the 4 if you go by the sequential order of things. So I'm a thinker who doesn't like to cause trouble and I also see something unique about myself, I guess. What's it like being an INTP 4w5, walfin?

I can do that, as long as its not something that really matters. That's what I liked about English Lit classes- like it really mattered what I thought about Milton's Satan. My problem is with writing something like an editorial for a newspaper or... posting stuff in this forum. And also saying...

This place doesn't exist, really- that's how I can do it. And none of you know me, really. That's why I don't think I can post a photo, because then you will know what I look like and then I will be real in your mind, while now, I could just vanish and you could just vanish and that would be how...

All I ever saw of it when I was a kid was the video with kids lining up and being turned into sausages. At the age of seven or so this pretty seriously creeped me the hell out. I saw it in college but I was shrooming for the first time ever and it just all seemed so cliche to be watching The...

Well, yeah, on a good day I can do that, too. The point I was trying to make is that certain writers stick to a schedule of doing a certain number of words per day. For example, I read about a writer who cranks out 10,000 a day no matter what. It just seems kind of... tyrannical and anal. But it...

All right, how the hell did you get a hold of my pipe bomb puppy notebook? Dammit, what am I suppose to do now with all of the puppies boxed up in my garage? Guess all there's left to do now is cuddle wif 'em and wuv 'em. Sigh.

I put this on the end of another post, but I think maybe it should be its own thread, just because I want to get more viewpoints- Does anyone else feel like they have no idea what they're talking about half the time? For example, I'll write something in here as if it's gospel, when I really...

I've been thinking about this more. I haven't been as stable as I am now since high school. College/ falling in love for the first time was when things started to go bat shit emotionally, when what psychiatrists consider my 'bipolar episodes' began. Up to that point I was overall a pretty chill...

Yeah, that's kind of a major part of our natures, I think. I can't estimate how long anything will take at all. I have no concept of time. And its even more difficult with creative pursuits. I hear or read all of the time about writer's goals of writing one thousand words a day or whatever and I...

No, I'm backing up. I think my OP is more accurate than the last. That's what's been so odd about the process. I read more about Te vs. Ti, and my thought processes are way more Ti than Te (I'd say Te is primarily absent), more Ti than Fi. When I took the cognitive processes test ages ago, my...

You know, I read these again and I just don't know. I'm going to return to INxP, and probably leave it at that.

Learning new things and creating new things and doing new things: all good.

You're a smoking meerkat as well? What are the odds?!?

nah, more like introverted. Heard of it?

Yep I've done this. Not in awhile, though. Sometimes it lasts for weeks, sometimes for a day, sometimes for an hour. Maybe I get more stuff accomplished, but I'm also WAY more stressed. It's difficult constantly living contrary to your natural constitution.

Aww, I really don't have anything against Jon and Kate, Red Toad. I'm just a clueless person without a TV. If you wanna watch it, you go wight ahead. I just wuv messing wif you. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
