Nice. I wish I could have mad tea parties inside my head.

I think in a similar way. However, I'm usually talking to a negative, cynical clone of me. It's not too far off from the true me, but I don't like her much. I also have a habit of talking at people I think about. I have an image of them in my head, but they don't respond to anything I say. And...

Well, the things he finds awesome about you could be beyond being an INFP, but I wouldn't know. But I guess I could tell you what I like about my xNFP sister. I love how she's a very mature, intelligent soul. She's very self aware (while I'm very introspective as well, I'm a bit out of touch...

I had to take a similar class, IT Essentials, my senior year. The class was meant for 10th graders, but I had to take it later since I moved into that school system a year earlier from a school that didn't require a computer class. That in itself was frustrating. It was also really frustrating...

Fi and Ti are radically different, but also very similar in that they're introverted methods of thinking. I tend to test as having high Fi (second after Ne for me). I've learned to use some typically Fi skills, but it's really just me trying to understand my feelings and the feelings of others...

"Ohhh!!! Guitar? What music and art do you like?" I keep going all over the place, but for music, I keep coming back to progressive rock and metal, classical, industrial, ambient, classic rock, and some alternative rock/metal. For art, I like installation pieces, modern art along the lines of...

I don't know about current proposed plans and what is or isn't practical but I just wanted to run this idea by you all. What about somehow containing and transporting our excess greenhouse gases to Mars? And what about engineering plants to survive the harsh and cold conditions of Mars so they...

Maybe it's because I'm just not to the point of "enlightenment", but when I do stop caring for a while and act like a cold "machine", I don't feel calm or at peace at all. Though it may be due to the fact that I'm not at peace with myself and feel obligated as a human to care. But if I stopped...

I wouldn't say I have dual personalities, but I definitely have a hard time being my total self around friends. For the most part, I don't think any one of a person's facets is the "true" self. Like you, I'm definitely funny, intellectual, thoughtful, and creative. I just exhibit different...

That would be amazing! I'd have some sharp sunglasses with it too.

Incorrect spelling and grammar are pet peeves of mine, but I usually keep it to myself unless it's grossly wrong or if they ask for my advice. I personally strive to use correct grammar and spelling, but I'm lenient with others, especially online with so many non-native English speakers.

I know that perfectly well, but it's still not right. That's what I said. In retrospect I was a little incoherent...

I can't believe people sometimes. What parent or teacher in their right mind would do nothing and assume bullying is normal for ANYTHING?! I just wonder why the antagonism is focused on guys though. I'm definitely a nerd, and while I'm not popular by any stretch, I was never ridiculed either...

Whatever you want, I presume. I'm also heading to college in a couple weeks. But the main things I'm expecting out of college are job expertise, learning, making new friends, reinventing myself, learning how to live away from my immediate family, and figuring out what's up with this custom...

Your Top Strength: Judgment, critical thinking, and open-mindedness Thinking things through and examining them from all sides are important aspects of who you are. You do not jump to conclusions, and you rely only on solid evidence to make your decisions. You are able to change your mind. Your...

Re: Grudges. Well said, and right on the dot. I've only had one big grudge in my short life.

Well, with the huge concentration of INTPs, it's almost inevitable that we all accentuate our INTPness. Not a factory, just a cohesive group. However, there are also enough borderline or non-INTPs that there's still ample encouragement to be whoever you are here.

I'm quite the chameleon when it comes to clothes. I've ended doing anything from dressing in a "rockish" way, to very artsy and bohemian, to very sharp and classy. Now that I'm not in any defined group when it comes to fashion, I'm just going casual, with elements of all the aforementioned...

I definitely do project an image. For example, when I'm just walking around, not talking to anyone, I deliberately have to keep a smile on my face so people don't ask what's wrong. I also look a little stern when I'm in deep thought. It's very annoying for people to interrupt me and ask me if...

Me too. I've been here since December '07, and could see myself staying here infinitely unless I drop off the map or get unbelievably busy with other things. I definitely believe I belong here, and this place has shaped me and my thought processes. I still have my moments here when I'm...

I keep going between not caring about my appearance and putting a good amount of effort into expressing myself with my appearance. However, I don't put much of a financial investment other than buying clothes when my other clothes don't fit or have worn out, and the occasional impulse buy, like...

No, I think that was a different discussion altogether, though that subject was mentioned a little.

My original username was Fernando_the_weasel. Totally random and out of the blue because I didn't think I'd be staying here long and I don't like the username I usually used before that time (rockergurl) :o. After a small bit of gender confusion and deciding that my username was a mouthful, I...

Greetings, Cav. Is it alright if I call you that? Rats are cool creatures, though I don't think I'd have one as a pet. (Their tails remind me of worms no matter what).

I definitely do gauge people based on how they they qualify with the following questions I ask myself: Does this person have interesting things to say? Is this person capable of independent thought? Do we communicate easily? Is this person fun to be around? Is this person a curious...

I also prefer to go with the 50% answer, but people are never satisfied with my answer and take it to be negative. What in the world is wrong with being neutral? I'm neutral most of the time, so the 50% answer is perfectly honest for me.

This reminds me of my Pathetically Introverted thread, which you might find useful. I agree. It's not the amount of recuperation time that counts as much as it is what you do in the alone time you have. Doing specifically introspective activities such as journaling, reading, just about...

^ No kidding.

I never really got a user title from everyone else. I just came up with one and posted it in the user title thread for a stamp of approval, so to speak. But you still have a while to think about it, being at 684 posts and all. I didn't really work towards the goal of having 1000 posts anyway...

Should I be concerned that I was born there? :confused:

Not the right, the ability to marry sucessfully. That is, if marching could ever solve that problem.

gasp... :eek:

Dream Theater pun. Teehee. Anyway, this whole idea is inherently judgemental, but I will try to withhold negative judgement if that's what you mean.

I think that your personality is a fundamental part of you, but it's just a starting point. We have our positive and negative traits, but so long as we develop the positive traits and learn in time to strengthen our weaknesses, the sky's the limit. Of course you can change. All of those...

I'm not even a gamer, but whatever. Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Mastermind-Seeker. You like solving puzzles and devising strategies as well as finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things. According to your results, there are few play experiences that you strongly...

Android is correct.

Teenage INTP here. Welcome to the INTP forum, and hope you find what you're looking for. I like your dinosaur.

I'm not the one initiating the touch most of the time, but I don't mind it too much. Hugs are fine by me, though I'm cringing inside if I don't know the other person too well. Hugs are pretty much the edge of my comfort zone though. Anything past that and I freak out. I don't think I could live...

^ No kidding. The closest I got to that level in high school was a couple of my AP classes, and studying for an AP test without the course. I think I'd be good to go if the homework were actually constructive, and the classes were a notch above the hardest classes I've had. Many times I've...

Which is why I've been on INTPforum therapy for more than 1.5 years now. :) Now just need to put all I've learned to practice.

I'll steal these two, since this is a good summary of my values.

That was a marvelous description of Ni. Beforehand, Ni tended to bring up images of seeing the future, vague mysticism, and making conclusions with no explanations. I can identify with that description almost as much as I do with Ne. Agh! Stop reading my mind! I've been thinking about this...

I'm horrible at time management. I not only have a habit of procrastination, but I have a serious love/hate relationship with structure, to do lists, and other time management devices. They help me a lot, but I hate to use them.

I can totally relate. I'm nothing exceptional so far as intellect goes, but in school, only a couple classes in high school really challenged me. After graduating high school with an above average GPA, a full ride scholarship for college, and various small honors along the way, I can't help but...

I'm personally not that stubborn when it comes to dancing. I'll follow along with the same dance as my partner, but if I think they need to step it up a bit, I will lead a bit myself in an effort to synthesize the partner's rhythm and the rhythm of the song. That being said, I only do ballroom...

We love that book. It never gets old, and we love the simple, yet descriptive writing style.

I'm still predominantly INTP, but as time has progressed, I've ended up lapsing between INTP, INTJ, and INFP. But not ever INFJ though.

^ Me too. I could easily eat an apple for every meal if I had to. Same goes for nectarines.

In general, I think Se would be very helpful for predetermined or free style. If I understand correctly, Se specializes in getting in sync with surroundings, reading cues, and enjoying physical sensations to name a few.

Likewise, I have a lot of Jness, but it's having a power struggle with my P. I can be rigid, and I seem to like structure, but at the same time, I don't like being that way, so sometimes it's a tossup.
