Yeah, even we cold heartless introverts get lonely sometimes! :) It happens to me from time to time, and in such cases, I find it hugely refreshing to go and talk to one or two of my close friends or to make/want one or two more friends, but never enough to make me think I'm an extrovert. On a...

You stole my answer RT! this is a tough one, for me, I think it varies on the subject matter. In terms of politics and economics I'm a realistic pessimist. In just about everything else: realistic optimist.

I just realized why I don't "do" groups. For a group to move rapidly in any course of action (be it good or bad) requires a leader, and several people who agree to follow that leader. This requires each non-leader member to contribute an amount of "Blind Obedience". A good leader will listen to...

I greatly enjoy: Escapes into the wilderness (camping, hiking, canoeing, etc.), Strategy games, Spending quality time with a close friend. Gathering information is good too, but sometimes I need time off the job to really process it; Wilderness voyages are good for that.

I've played Roblox for a couple of years, It's main user base is younger than I, But the game itself is flexible enough that you essentially have a huge collection of different games. I like the flexibility of it. I also tried Gunrox, an online turn based tactics game, but stopped because I...

I find writing a list of things to get done tomorrow (in the literal sense.) can help a little IF I write an hour I plan to start at, and if the list has no more than 5 (less is better) items on it. I find writing it the night before is the best way to do this. Not perfect, But works better than...

I think to a certain extent we INTPs do think in algebra, or more appropriately, in formulas (x^2+a+c=0 and so forth) which is why it can be so troubling to learn. It's something we can be inherently good at if given time resources, and enough enthusiasm to explore it, but to a certain extent we...

I suggest checking out http://www.howthemarketworks.com/ It's says you should expect to fail the first few times, but their stock market game should be able to help you get the hang of it. I've never tried it myself, an acquaintance mentioned it to me.

Bravo. My point of view exactly. If I'm feeling depressed, The best help tends to be to go do something entirely unrelated that occupies my mind. Music, hiking, loving, maybe turning on the TV. Every once and awhile, It's refreshing to shut off the analyzer for a bit and stop to smell the roses...

You haven't lived until you've slept under the stars. No house, no tent, just you, your sleeping bag, and the cloudless night sky. It's a profound feeling I've yet to duplicate. and would recomend that anyone try it. it works best in the mountains. Stars, Sunsets, those funny shaped clouds, it...

I don't particularly care what kind of rescue party, though one primarily composed of beautiful, intelligent females would be desirable. :D

The trick my friend, is to somehow convert it all into 2 variables that override all other factors, for instance, in your case I might ask myself: which location will provide the most potential for solitude? The hard part is forcing yourself to make a choice. In a particularly tough situation...

INTPs of the world unite! But let's wait till tomorrow, I'm too busy studying economics to be bothered with abolishing things right now. I remember the wall-smashing, what a great feeling that is. It's a liberating feeling to smash all the myths and misconceptions you've formed about yourself...

I have long held most of the listed beliefs,* and would like to add: -Designed to teach immigrants English and to force them to become part of the larger culture, as opposed to letting them separate themselves into groups of exclusively Irish, Italian, German, Japanese, etc. -To keep children...

Realizing that I never answered the real question... Adymus pretty much described my view of the world as of a year ago, Though I've opened up a bit more since then. There's no denying that I'm secretive about myself. I have a few confidants, but very few people ever see the "real" me. This...

Like many here, I absolutely hate being lied to, and avoid lying out of habit, but I draw a line between lying and deceiving. I tell the truth 99% of the time, and usually don't care what others think about it. If I think answering might offend, I will attempt to dodge the question by asking...

In the Evil Genius scenario, I see INTPs as being the "real guy" behind the bad-guy. We're mad scientists, we don't care if you're good or bad, If you're willing to fund our research, who are we to say what you use the results for? If we did become criminals, it would be out of sheer curiosity...

Well, You could avoid people... that's usually what I do. Failing that, I suppose you could ask them questions before they get a chance to ask you, I'm not very good at asking first myself, but if you can figure it out, you might be able to avoid giving away information about yourself. As a...

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I would not push the button, unless I believed I could cheat the system. However, I know I would try to cheat the system, and might end up killing someone if I failed. The interesting thing being that I would probably never know If failed or succeeded. If I find...

Short Term: Looking for anything that does not involve climbing a corporate ladder. I'm bad enough at just making causal friends, let alone kissing butts. Long Term: Looking to be a helicopter pilot, as I gather it's a nice challenging career, requires great concentration, and is never exactly...

"I don't believe in a no-win scenario." If the simulation does not allow you to win, reprogram the simulator so that you can. :p Also: "Only a sith deals in absolutes."

No. First of all, I know the man is lying to me: "...nobody will ever know you did this." I will know, he will know, the random person it kills will know, and deity might know. If the button really does not do what this "manager" claimed, he's still lied to me, and is therefore not to be...

Actually the school system works amazingly well for what it was designed for: enable the masses to get a simple job. It dosen't really matter what job, but a job nonetheless. It serves the same purpose as apprenticeships did in the renaissance, but with less technical training and more...

Well, lack when they still had it on abandonia, I downloaded UFO Enemy Unkown (X-com) because it was on some list of "top 10 games of all time" or something like that. Despite the trouble finding a computer that can actually run it, I downloaded it and eventually got it working. It's a fabulous...

Format Stolen taken from Belph What is your name? David, But I go by many names Where are you from? I think of Wyoming as home, but I live in Wisconsin How old are you? 18 What's your gender? Male How did you find out that you were INTP? I think it started with a facebook app, (which...
