1) I don't really mind the number. 2) Dad most definitely was an INTJ (he died when I was young though), mother is an IsTJ. I get along best with my half -brother who is INFj. He is a bit emotional but we understand each other. Have a cousin who is ENTj. Have a quirky aunt who is hard to type...

Nice, you have a way with words. ;)

Same here. I think I've seen all of these before but its nice to know others share the interest.

You always have the lifeboats. If you survive that phase you board a new boat with the same person. Or you just watch them drown with that haunting phrase "I'll never let go..." ringing in your ears.

I trust people to act according to the snapshot I build of them. I learned a long time ago that it is unfair of me to judge people the way I judge myself. I can feel close to people but depending on some strange, mysterious system the intensity of the connection varies and along with it my emotions.

I'm more INTJ but ever since I was younger I have an almost trance-like desire to maintain some level of "strong, healthy". I remember when I was 5 I stole all my mom's workout tapes and had a little routine I did everyday. My worst nightmares consist of me being old and feeble and I hate those...

I've had really good friends before and even though it ended or we parted ways my feelings (once activated) never die. Once a person reaches my "friend" status I consider them very important and treasure sharing my time with them. Sucks when they leave though or they don't value me as highly...

I try to be patient with everyone these days, particularly with myself. In any case it can be argued that all of life is futile, you die anyway so what is the point? Live a little. If you always doubt yourself you will surely be doomed to failure. Anyway, why do you think what you want to do is...

Just go to the facebook page and in the search bar put INTP. You should be able to find the INTP group page from there. Sort of sucks though. I spent a couple weeks observing (stalking) random people that got my interest and every time I tried to friend them they would get all suspicious, it...

SpaceYeti, I love your posts, rofl. I'm guessing you want to explore "thought induced arousal", like how girls get all hot and bothered by Mr. Darcy or that sparkly vampire dude. Where does this come from and what thoughts activate these reptilian impulses? Is that what you are wanting to...

Honestly, whenever I see anything like that it reminds me of Ghost in the Shell so I would be clever and call it GITS'ism. The surface world has a sense of calm but underneath there is some major war between people, cyborgs, and programs/ rogue AI's In fact.... YouTube - A Matrix and...

I had a similar issue as a youngster only I valued different things such as health and athletics (I'm XNTX, INTJ is the best match for me though). I went overboard with everything to do with physical fitness and it caused me about equal amounts of satisfaction and anxiety. Anyway, maybe you...

You having nightly panic attacks? I've been getting them since I started my mood disorder meds. Every night it feels like a major jolt to my heart and uneasiness in the brain. I have one slightly negative thought and I get a sudden adrenaline rush from no where, isn't fun at all. Have you been...

I figure its just a matter of time before we have an AI that appreciates music. On the various robotics/programming forums they keep discussing ways to give values to experiences and writing a special block to their AI brains to work out unique preferences and such based on +/- values. Sort of...

Yeah, he does. I will be the first to admit I have terrible grammar...I blame it on my evil English teachers and the fact I didn't value it that highly as a youngster. Now suddenly I want to talk to people and I need a personal editor.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. This whole forum is a bunch of socially awkward people so just keep trying.

Too bad togas are no longer in style. You could spring awake and wrap your sheets all about you then be ready for your day. Thats the solution...we must make togas overwhelmingly popular. We need to get Justin Timberlake, Rhianna, the Beiber, and I don't know...Bruce Willis to wear togas. We...

Everything! Well, could start with animals. Whats are some of your favorite animals? What sort of piano music do you like to play? What do you do during the day?

I found this article and figured I would share. Pretty much everyone I know is acquainted with someone who suffers from some flavor of schizophrenia (or other mood disorder which may be related). Very interesting read. http://discovermagazine.com/2010/jun/03-the-insanity-virus

This made me lol. I slept in the buff in the past but seriously....people would just randomly show up and I'd have to scurry around to get dressed all quick. After a couple months of this I gave it up and wear comfy cotton pants and shirts for sleep. I also second the feeling vulnerable thing.

I've had an INTP (no doubt on the type) tell me this before. I believe he was just bored of the direction the conversation took and that was his "nice" way of saying it.

I would guess IN t/f J.

Have any of you considered the fact that most religions/societies are patriarchal and hated (or still hate) strong minded women (aka they mostly wanted submissive cows to procreate with)? Wonder how many "rebellious" women have been killed or called witches and burned?

That sort of depends. I would probably tell my kid early on that my death is inevitable but not to be sad because its how nature works. Then I would have them watch The Lion King and Land Before Time. (Scientists are working on halting and reversing aging and the tech for it may or may not come...

Does she know you exist? Does she seem to listen intently in class or seem bored? Does she move with a sense of self assuredness/confident? Does she seem aggressive or laid back? Is she more Bruce Wayne or Riddler? I think asking about her art would still be effective, just give off a...

Need more information. Actually the quickest way to find out if she is INTP is to try talking to her directly. If she acts shocked and runs away...probably INTP.

1. This could partly be due to gender differences. I mean as a female (in the US anyway, not sure about other countries) you pretty much have to be capable of shallow talk or you are going to be a complete alien to other females. There is more instinctual pressure as a female to fit in since in...

That makes sense. But don't you end up hurting the other party involved? Feelings can be beautiful but for the most part they suck. :borg0:

This is why I like INTP's and appreciate their function to society. They see the things I cannot see and give me a viewpoint that is usually a complete mirror (with a little extra) to my own. This difference of opinion only helps me get a clearer picture of things. It is really amazing what an...

In my experience the only functions that can be easily pinned down are the orientation of the N and T. These are the only people I instantly "click" with (and occasional INFJ's but it depends how "F" they are) and I can usually tell which way they go after a couple conversations. Basically...

Interesting thought. But it would sort of depend on the rules I imagine. Main rule of the Chrisitian God is to put no other gods before him, accept him in your heart...yada, yada. Perhaps it would depend on which personality was expressed/active the most? Anyway, in olden days the notion of God...

I don't put myself into situations where I know emotional pain will be the outcome (it gets old, I can't handle it, so I rather avoid it where I can, drama sucks and is mentally draining/waste of time). I'm not bothered by physical pain that much and have banged myself up pretty good (bleeding...
