Wow, am I the only one with ambition here? jk

Well, it's not exactly an intellectual thing, but I've been going on a crocheting craze. In the span of 1.5 months, I've crocheted 7 scarves. A personal monument to the INTP's ability to concentrate. Lately I've been doing almost nothing but art, school, INTP forum, and this crocheting craziness.

Well, regardless of the actual stats, it seems it would be less socially encouraged for a male to be NF. It also statistically works out that way. Under the assumption that 40% of men are Fs, and a small percentage of these people would be N, it makes sense. Same would go for female NTs.

I agree with BM. A big part of his personality in the play is the fact that he's under a lot of stress and is acting insane. We don't really see Hamlet in a comfortable natural state. If I had to guess, he could easily be a polar opposite of the INTP under a lot of stress. He definitely...

I don't know for INTPs in general, but for me, I generally have a blank stare on my face, unless I'm really happy or any other emotional extreme. I tend to stand and sit with my feet pointing towards each other (I think that's either a sign of uneasiness or introversion), look a bit disoriented...

All I really know for sure is that I will be a sophomore in college. But ideally, here's how it would be: I will have a job lined up during every ski season while I'm in college as a lift attendant, will have at least started learning how to play cello, will be able to budget my time in a way...

Seconded. I must be crazy too because I also relive what's happened in the past, during nearly every waking hour. I'm surprised I'm not too screwed up. I can still go to sleep at night. Thank goodness I'm not conscious of my dreams, or I'd probably rehash my failures in my sleep as well.

I don't have any advice or experience when it comes to therapy, but perhaps it would be beneficial to say that I've experienced all of those (except for the agnostic/atheist/nihilist thing) both all at once and in different combinations. I can especially relate with the job thing. Perhaps I'm...

Yeah, I thought it wouldn't be very accurate if Fe were gagged. Fe really wouldn't be an issue if he weren't able to say the most emotional, seemingly irrational and unrelated things at the weirdest times.

Well, this was originally a request from Reverse Transcriptase inspired by this thread, but I thought you would all appreciate it.

Seconded on Staralfur - Sigur Ros. Really, just about any of their songs could make me teary for various reasons if I were in the right mindset. Just about anything Pain of Salvation gets to me too. Space Dye Vest - Dream Theater is amazing too. One of the few country songs I really like, and...

I meant economically right wing. All for capitalism. The conservatism of the right wing that you speak of mainly comes from the authoritarianism. You should consider that libertarians are also economically right wing, but not very authoritarian at all when it comes to social and civil issues...

Oracle. 0% Extroversion, 67% Intuition, 0% Emotiveness, 90% Perceptiveness Yay, I'm a remarkably imbalanced resident druggie from ancient Greece...

Why Ayn Rand? If I had to guess, she appeals to the average American more because her philosophy is very individualistic and decidedly right wing. To a certain extent, she reflects the personality of American culture in many places.

1. I've had my share of alter egos, but all they really are are different facets of my true self. Sometimes I'm I, sometimes N, etc. Of course this is very simplified, but you get the picture. And I have definitely been molded by this forum in that I'm not the same person I was when I first came...

Well, lately, it seems that the workforce is looking for creativity more than they used to. Now that the less creative jobs are being shipped overseas, it's very valuable to be a creative problem solver. And I think this is what INTPs do best. Because of this trend and my tendencies, I think I...

You made my day. So ENxPs would have perpetually exploding heads?

I find this test fairly entertaining. I've taken it a couple times and come up with either INTJ or INFJ. Remotely close I guess. I wonder what about my face implies Ni though.

What are the conditions of the death? Would I be healthy up until that point? Or would I be lying in a hospital bed? Well, I would definitely make sure that my lifespan is a secret between me and my doctor, so people aren't saying goodbye to me the whole time, or getting clingy or whatever...

Wow. When was this documentary made? The whole time I was thinking of one program after another that is better than MS Paint. Photoshop....Corel Painter...need I continue? Fun stuff being able to say the future really is in the past.

I basically have two sets of goals, immediate goals and things I'd like to do eventually. Immediate Goals: Get an appointment with the plasma donation center so I can get some money earn and keep a 3.8 GPA or higher so I can get a scholarship for half my tuition next year learn a bit more...

I've had an interesting experience with this lately. Compliments mainly make me feel uncomfortable because I know I also have weaknesses. And like Dormouse said, they tend to be incredibly vague, and it wouldn't be the best idea to interrogate whoever compliments me until they get more specific...

Because not much would get done, and it probably wouldn't be the most organized place. I'd love to come for a vacation though. I've become really busy in college and I suspect that this is only the beginning.

Yep. Happens all the time. Usually, it happens when I'm angry or frustrated. I end up getting a knot in my throat and starting to cry when I don't feel like crying at all. It doesn't help that I have pretty fair skin, so any sign of emotion shows up. :o

It depends what you mean by multitasking. I can multitask in that I often have short bursts of concentration in any given task. Then I move on to something else and give that a short burst of concentration. I usually have several things going on at once. But I'm horrible at actually doing more...

1. It's my inner critic jabbering away, pretty much another version of me inside my head, but more talkative and cynical. 2. Sometimes. It depends on how much I succeed and how often. For example, I haven't had a sense of failure in academics in a very long time because I consistently do well...

Interesting. I don't know if anything unusual about my birth, but I was quite the temperamental infant, and was stubborn about breastfeeding at first. And I was also the quiet kid, reading books in the front yard since I was 3 (my mom refused to read to me 24/7) and watching the other kids do...

All I've got for actors is Scarlett Johannson. For looks, not acting though. I think it's an exaggeration though.

For the exact same reason why we hate the response "because I said so" or "because it just is". It doesn't answer why. Even if the story has no real basis, it's satisfying to have some sort of why until a real reason comes along. For example, for most people, is it more fun to relate the...

I can totally relate with the tendencies mentioned, except for not doing my best on school assignments. Unless it's obvious busy work, I give everything some effort. Anyway, I definitely do sometimes sarcastically run my mouth and end up offending and shocking people before the weight of what...

Question is, can you properly size up a person when they're summed up in different terms than you or anyone else? To me, it seems like algebraicly trying to add unlike terms. I'm simplifying the issue, but bear with me. Perhaps it would be like trying this: 4I + 6N + 5T + 3P = 3E + 5S + 5F +...

^ I beg to differ. My parents weren't particularly oppressive. They never pushed me being into something I'm not. They never insisted on "my way or the highway". To a certain extent, they were always open to negotiation. I've always been who I am, rather than being forced into something else.

To some degree, you're just being human. Just about any society has a pecking order. I'm not saying this is a good thing by any means though. And I'm also totally an advocate of the multiple intelligences concept. With any person I meet, I always keep in mind that we'll both be superior and...

^ That's pretty much the only way I'm socially comfortable, talking to people at some sort of activity, or helping someone understand something, some means to an end. Additionally, I seek out weird people for friends (more likely to be Ns or more appreciative of me) and try to form a fun...

The example you used isn't really equality. Or at least it's a different kind of equality. On the other side of the coin, you could believe in equality in that both healthy and handicapped people should have an equal opportunity to access buildings.

:mad:Darnit! I spent about an hour researching different kinds of toilets around the world! Interesting stuff, but there's homework to be done!

Yeah. It would be amazing even if they only based it on money (do you have the money to take care of a kid/kids?), health, and a drug/criminal background.

This sounds awesome, though one thing that many be important is to guarantee that both debaters have the same amount of time to prepare. Would this be the right place to suggest topics/resolutions?

That is so amazingly realistic. Just nix the Super Nintendo, and I guarantee that it's happened to me before. Kudos.

Congratulations! Even though I can only respect the grading system to a degree, I'm still very proud of myself when I get good grades. But that would mean I'm being manipulated my the system! :eek: That's awesome though.

Bipolar. 22% depressed 16% obsessive 41% delusional 35% anxious Actually, now that I looked at the other possible results, I'm more likely to have Depersonalization Disorder, according to my percentages.

Interesting. Considering how intensely introverted I am, and how much I like expressing myself in various ways, this may be it. There's definitely a reason why my social life centers around my modes of self expression. Nearly all my friends are also in the habit of self expression, as writers...

And I thought I was nuts with 18.5 credits... Good luck.

Very nice guide, Auburn. And what are you talking about?! Me? A romantic? As soon as I think I'm one, I find out otherwise...

Well, what do you mean by reserved? Though it can often take me a while to work up the courage to strike up a conversation, once I start talking, I'm not very reserved at all. For me, it's all about taking the plunge to begin with. However, something that would make me come off as reserved is...

Ah, where to begin? - stop caring about being popular - go talk to him/her if you find them interesting. You've got nothing to lose. - a lot of things are really mundane, yet necessary. Get over it. - try studying math and science on your own. You might find it more interesting. - practice...

While I don't want to make this into another thread over whether or not schizoid is a legitimate disorder, I'm really curious what they base that claim on, especially given your apparently high EQ. I thought SPD and Aspergers was partially characterized by a lack of EQ and being cold and aloof.

It's really weird. You have no idea how many people (especially guys) that I've met that claim to highly appreciate the ablilty to be direct and say it how it is. Yet I mostly get a bad reaction when I do exactly that.

I'm kind of the same way. I catch on pretty quickly with mathematical subjects like physics, chemistry, and computers, but it isn't my absolute favorite. I don't think Ti is about having a mathematical brain. It's simply thinking about stuff all the time. The "stuff" you think about is up to...

I'm kind of in that position too. And I don't intend to persuade you in any direction, but regarding languages/ history, everything and nothing has a meaning. It intrinsically doesn't have much meaning but it can have any meaning you give it. You can always consider something and ask "then...
