Yeah, she's keeping me busy, that and college.

Something about being confined to a schedule gives me excessive anxiety. I show up to work 5 minutes late, just so I'm not confined by the schedule. I say I'm going to start something, then procrastinate past when I intended to begin, just so I didn't adhere to the schedule. This is probably...

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy.

I love that definition of Ni, it is the best I have seen yet and perfectly describes how I experience it.

I exhibit autism-like behaviors. If these things were multiplied in intensity and I had no control over them, I could be autistic. But I don't know... I'm not autistic or AS. So it's like, I bet there's some subtle difference in the brain that causes AS and autism, and various degrees of it.

I wouldn't say the problems in society are the result of SJ types; I would say that society is the result of SJ types. Without them there are just individuals acting with independent thought and mind. I'm not sure what good society is other than for having a structured system by which things...

I thought the robot chick in the beginning was cute, and was thinking how I'd probably treat her like a human. Then when they were kissing I was like cool, lesbian robots; I like watching women kiss. (Men kissing? No thanks, rather not see that.)

Yes, the value systems in the INFP mind defy logic. One I know has a dog that is unhealthy and misbehaves, instead of giving it structure and boundaries in the house, she just melts when she sees it and forgives it for peeing on her bed and raiding her garbage. In being compassionate she does...

Hahaha, poor Carnap.

Well, I don't think I could put up with an ENTP that was smarter than me. That would be annoying, because they'd rub it in. Least the one I knew would... in a very subtle but devious way.

I'm a total slob too, and it works in a cycle just like you described. But you know what's really funny about it? If someone comes into my room and places down one item that does not belong to me, or moves something, I immediately notice when I come back to my room.

I just remembered what Perseus gave the ENTP for an animal. I'm pretty sure it was a snake, which really fits them. They're the snake and we're the eagle, because we're above all that stuff going on down there. We don't have to be social, which allows us to be more genuine.

It has to be different for every INTP. We never quite see eye-to-eye on this forum. There's always a different shade of understanding or a hole in someone's logic that someone points out. We all understand differently, which means the answer is different for each of us. I don't know about...

I'm angelic? ... where's my wings? Seriously, though, I had two major breakdowns in my life before finding the right path. Even while on the right path, I was often miserable. During the second break down, I already knew my personal truth, just the rest of me hadn't matured enough to make...

Have you met one and become friends with them? They're not our betters; ENTP's just present themselves better while we usually have more going on upstairs. The ENTP I know is very social and can snag women at the drop of a hat, but when it comes to serious stuff he's always asking for my...

Yes. One of my best friends from college is an ENTP. We get along great, conversation comes very natural to us and we have similar interests. They're more social which makes them a great friend for an INTP to have.

Using them is required to be accurate, but they muddle thoughts and unnecessarily detract from statements.

Aw, I was having fun adding random people as my friends.

I agree with the ESTP, sorry. :p Nanotechnology can be used to augment humanity as well. So yes, technology may in fact make us as a species obsolete, but we'll be replacing ourselves with better equipment on purpose. We decended from monkey creatures, do you think they'd be happy at the...

Yeah, it'll be private industry, I think that's why I like the idea of moon mining so much, rather than exploration for the sake of exploration. Once capitalism is involved progress occurs at an exponential rate.

Yeah, but this is better than facebook or myspace, because you don't have relatives adding you, who you'd rather not see.

Why no moon towers? :( Earth's gravity is too great and it would tug it around too much? The same lunar surface always seems to face planet Earth each night... so even if it's orbiting and rotating, its sort of constant gravitationally speaking.

Banning are badges of honor to the INTP.

Problem with moon mining is figuring out a way the governments of earth would agree on how it would work. About the only thing I can think of is splitting it by surface area ratios by country. If you have 4% of the surface area on earth, you get 4% of the surface area on the moon. Then have...

Now unveiling my new avatar, Legato Bluesummers.... That voice in your head? Yeah, that's me.

Oh and that link doesn't really explain it, but helium-3 is very rare on Earth. What you use it for is a special type of fusion reaction that is more efficient. According to this show I was watching on TV, the moon could be covered in gold and it wouldn't be cost effective to mine it...

I don't think the states will do this, if anyone does it. We've lost our ambition for trying new things like that. We'd have to see another country working on it, then we'd get all defensive and try to build our own before theirs was complete. There needs to be a practical reason for having...

Hey, sent you a friend request. Not sure what the point of it is, since we're all friends here but what the heck, I'm starting a collection.

You pretty much force yourself to do it. It's best if you can actually learn to like your co-workers and socialize with them because you want to. Where I work, it's sort of a mixed bag where I like to socialize with some of them. Others, not so much. The INTP perspective is that you're not...

Yeah, it's kinda cool.

Played a bit too much perhaps? LoL... As I see it everyone is connected. Our consciousnesses are different, but the underlying materials all derive from the same beginning. Our energies and souls are linked across the expanse of time. I may not be a great person, but if I have children, one...

Yeah I saw the trailer in theaters before harry potter and was like WOW, that actually looks like a kid movie that I would want to see. It looked adventurous and cool, with sort of a rustic, artsy, realistic look that kids movies don't normally have.

Hey, Carnap.

I thought you were Toad. :P

Toad!!! WTF you're SlyGuy. Don't think I'd forget that pic with your cute girlfriend in it.

Just ask me, I'm very good at typing people. :P Or there was a test here, but it's gone... http://www.cognitiveprocesses.com/assessment/survey.html This test focused more on what cognitive functions you use, rather than just the resulting personality. Like if you have a strong Fi...

I hang on the INFP forum and I totally believe this. I commented on there that there was no other personality worse than the INFP if you're a male who does not play a cool instrument. No one disagreed with me either, which was kinda scary. The INFP women all have this dreamy look in their...

I think this is it. I've been depressed but no one would have outwardly been able to discern it. I recognized my depression and did not display symptoms to others. I think intelligent people are more equipped to identify that they're depressed and pull themselves out of it proactively too...

This is your problem. I have found that when working and put in a managerial role, I can become very ISTJ-like. This means working my butt off, but also directing orders at people and expecting them to do it. When you do this, you are presuming people show up to work to earn money in...

omg, I have a stalker

With NEW GAMES!!!

Conversational foreplay is fine, at least it'll keep people from abandoning the forum while it's in a coma. :P And... the ARCADE is back!

You do realize Griffith, your avatar, is an INTJ ?

... We could start a game on the forum, where we insert innuendo into all of our discussions, making it look like it was a mistake. It could be the secret signature of belonging to the 95% introvert club. Yes... I like this. I deem it so!

So I'm interested in the Enneagram now because it seems to address totally different aspects of a person than MBTI. I think MBTI focuses on how a person deals with their environment, while the Enneagram is about motivation. Do you guys know any good resources online for learning about it? The...

Yeah, same. For me, the sort of confidence I trust is a calm confidence that comes from knowing when I am right. If the confidence stems from any sort of emotion, or excitement, then I don't trust it. It's just my emotions playing games.

Start making posts, people :P The forum will die if you don't! It seems like it's in a comma at the moment, we have to save it!

Also, I think there's a good example for Keynesian economics working. Not here, but in China. When their economy started to tank along with the world's they implemented a stimulus plan with larger infrastructure spending and spent more money quicker. This has caused reflation in commodity...

What you're doing is attempting smooth out economic growth. So each high will not be as high, but each low will be shallower. Monetary policy goes a long way towards smoothing things out. This is why there hasn't been a depression since the Great Depression. Yet there's a time when monetary...
