Ne seems to be me. Ti is like my father lording over me telling me it's wrong to be so wild and all over the place.

I wonder about you as well, seducer, after your mooning activity. are you an 'I' because you make an 'ass' of yourself?

generally. They go neck and neck.

Think I am one. Is that possible?

I thought it was good memories for things we consider important- kind of a weighted memory. Or an inconsistent memory.

I consider this a core trait of INTP.

The last two posts lead perfectly to something that I wanted to bring up/propose. I talked to an ENTP this weekend- I know this because something he said was extremely xNTP which led to me bringing up MBTI which of course he knew all about. We had one of the better conversations I've had in...

An experience in developing emotional intelligence I had thanks to this thread: The other day I was feeling especially schizoid- I wanted nothing to do with anyone, all people were worthless and disgusting, etc. I felt detached from my body, from the physical world. So I stepped back for a...

Old, but I wanted to reply to this. (Primarily because maybe it can help others experiencing this.) I had an eating disorder. When I was in high school, the idea of having an eating disorder was unfathomable to me. I never thought about food. I ate when I was hungry and stopped when I was...

Spiders eat insects, you've got to love that-

I didn't say you were going against me. I was just saying they hate you. Insects are like that. They can be bastards. Unlike me. You go right ahead and be freaked out.... pussy. ;)

yes. I hope that's not a problem. You'll get used to it. Although childbirth is incredibly painful.

Well, Lynx-y, they hate you back! And some of them you can't run away from, especially spiders, because they aren't insects! They is arthropods! Yeah, Felan. I took an Insects, Science, and Society class in college and it was one of my favorite classes. I could talk to somebody. I read a thing...

I am with you on this one, Crimson Knight. I will not look at whatever the links are. I don't want to be overly broad, especially since I haven't looked, but I do know there is a lot of desecration of other species as well that falls under the category of "Traditional Chinese Medicine". There...

Holy shit. Reading it in French subtitles (which I can do) made it all the more surreal. Holy shit. I cannot contain my incredulity.

This makes me want to be an entomologist. Insects are the coolest! Why do I have to suck at science? (or more precisely, math) Boo hoo wah wah!

Ogion, were you reading my diary from when I was 22 again? I am serious here. If you are the ghost of my past, then I am the ghost of your future. Beware! :eek: (I wanted to be a farmer and raise goats, I think. You know, when I wasn't writing my novel and spinning my cloth from the wool and...

Lots to chew on. I'll start here: How'd you get into journalism, Editor One? My guess is you have been doing it for awhile- are you a copy editor or a page editor or what? Do you work for an actual news agency? Are they hiring anyone ever again? It seems like a hopeless situation...

Crash- not the newer one, the 1996 one by David Cronenberg. Exceptionally disturbing.

I'll be 35 in two months, to clear that up. Even more dire, see? I think I need a career. I think it will require me going back to school. I want to major in something that actually has the potential of leading to a job. (The B.A. in Film Studies didn't exactly pay off.) But I want to...

All kinds of good stuff mentioned. I would like to add E.M. Forster, especially Howard's End. Truly great book. Also Divine Comedy by Dante, especially The Inferno. I find it fascinating. I've probably read it ten times. Same with Paradise Lost by Milton. Kafka, too. I think we're just talking...

Yes. For sure. When I was a child, I was always told to smile and stop being upset when I wasn't upset at all, just thinking. Now, especially after I have been alone for awhile, my facial expressions are misconstrued. I find out about this primarily from my husband- he'll walk in the door, look...

yeah, I have to admit I've never wiped my ass on a door handle. But I have grabbed a total stranger's can of beer, shot gunned it and then thrown the empty can at her face. Among other things.

yep. Been there, done that. It can seem fun at first, because here you are displaying the 'real you' or something, which you never do. I would recommend that you don't let it get way out of control because you'll start to really hate yourself and alienate others. Find a good way to occupy your...

HSP? Is that Highly Sensitive Person or does it mean something else? (That's the first thing that came up that sort of made sense when I googled it.)

This is so perfect I had no choice but to comment- especially since you capitalized 'situation'.

Yes, good post. Emotions, like for others on here, are a tough one that I don't get. I always thought I was an 'F'. I was an artist, a tragic romantic type. But the tests always come up 'T', and reading this has been enlightening. Extreme emotions are the only ones I've ever really felt. It's...

Okay, this is the topic matter on which I seriously question my INTPness. I disagree with about 90% of what you've all listed. I'm going to list a few, and if you guys recognize any of these, you can tell me how I am so obviously not an INTP. Not that I care. Here goes: Bob Dylan, esp...

I'm glad you do, daughter. Because I don't.

I'm with you. My personal routine is more like- how I expect to spend my time today vs. 'from 11:30-noon I will collate data for the Henderson account.' It may seem pretty loose and fluid; most people would consider me to have zero routine at all, but if someone steps in out of the blue and...

Domestic animals are pretty much like people for me: it depends on the individual. Dogs, in general, are too extroverted and needy for me, but there's been a few I've liked. I dig cats. I feel like we understand each other. I have two that I own, plus one that chooses to hang out in my yard...

The first time I took it I got Creative Organizer, which made me laugh out loud because I am the most disorganized person I know. According to that, I'm an, "excellent planner." Then I took it again and -yep, you guessed it- analytic visionary. First time I didn't read the directions at all...

know this is old but there are new ones of us who haven't answered this. Me, 5w4, as well.

95% as well, but only one of the schizoids. Although I took some other test about mental illness and schizoid was my highest one. Does that count? I used to get drunk a lot. Now it's not fun anymore. Now that it's no longer fun, I really have little clue as to how to socialize, or have...

You know, I think everyone is just jealous because we'd all like to have mall buddies and sports buddies. Admit it, people. I don't care whether they're authentic or not. It's your life Face, not mine, and I support you. Is that what British people look like? England is way more like southern...

In general I'd say I have more of a 'guy' walk- little hip action, straight forward. I walk fast. If I'm feeling self-conscious, like a male is watching me, I walk with purpose, make sure I make zero eye contact. Typically, I don't know how to be all that feminine. For some reason, a good...

Same here. I lean more T than F- always test T- but the F is most decidedly present. How present it is depends on the day or my hormones. Regardless, I read the description for INFP and it doesn't resonate the way INTP does. What it pegs down to for me is I trust my thoughts more than my...

I went over there but didn't feel like digging into it. Can you give a specific example? I think we INTPs are in general stumped by INTJs. It's like they seem so close, but then that J rears its ugly head and we just don't get it. I know there's another thread about INTJs, but you seem to...

28. All of the women seemed like they were being foxy, while all of the men were old CEO jerks. I felt like I was watching a 1980s movie.

I kind of have the dream INTP job. I stay home and shlep while my husband works in a job that would cause me to impale myself. But it isn't perfect because I still have that restlessness. I just know there has to be the perfect thing out there somewhere that's custom-tailored for me and I...

It gets a little ridiculous, doesn't it? I used to spend so much time planning out conversations that I had little time to do anything else. Obsessive, I would call it. Then the conversations never went as I planned and I thought, "I am so clueless as to how real conversations go. How can I be a...

Guess I'm a tiger snake, which I believe is a real animal. You're a William Blake poem.

no problem. I was in a weird mood. I think I kind of forgot why I came here in the first place. If people had behaved to my posts as I did to yours- well, I'm not sure how I would have reacted but I can't imagine it would have felt so good. I do still feel mildly snubbed here, though. But I...

agreed.

OH! POST HASTE!

Yes I know. Something kind of happened around here a week ago where people got all crazy and goofy and wild and I went along for the ride. It seemed fun. Now no one seems to be having fun and I'm not either. Blah. I came on here in the first place to get some questions answered. It was...

no ass-bursting was committed. I understand completely what you mean about learning about your passion and feeling like it's all for nothing if you keep it to yourself. The thing is, though, when I share it, most people could care less. Most people are not interested in what I am interested in...

Snow Queen, you are right, it could be construed that I was being overly judgmental and abrasive. I could be a 'girl'- as I appear to be- and attribute it to pms. But no, chrisid/dentan didn't even upset me that much. It was me being switchblade sarcastic, which doesn't appear to transfer so...

You know, Chrisid, I really don't mean to be a jerk. It's just the same deal as what we went through with XIII (which makes me suspect you are one and the same), you come on in and tell us how to improve our life. Well, I think it's a pretty common INTP trait not to like it when someone comes in...

You know, I used to be the exact same way. Then I started to realize that I was making an even bigger ass of myself when I was drunk, and that was even harder to deal with. And don't worry about being immature. I was 33 when I made this realization. Healthy alternative? I wish I could give...
