Haha, I wish I had learned Russian from any of the games I played on DOS :P. I only recall learning to do things like navigate a small vehicle through poorly designed levels :P. HmMmMm...I think sentimental for me is primarily being tied through senses (Si does this for INTPs, I think). I'll...

Are normal people sentimental? *boggle* Chess is probably my favorite game. I play random PC/console games, but I haven't had a lot of time for them lately...I've played some WoW, some Diablo II, Starcraft, Eve-Online, etc. I really enjoy roguelike games, so I might check out that Dwarf...

25. I used to play all of my old PC games on Windows 98...lots of fond memories :P. I think I make everything into something sentimental, though lol. What about you?

That's...bizarre :P. I do miss windows 98...does that count?

Huh? Does it say that I'm using Windows 98 somewhere? I'm on Windows 7 on this computer o.O .

Hmmm. This could be tough :P. A lot of times it's something instruction based. Like...if I'm at a restaurant and looking at a menu, I might stare at it for 10 minutes and then make a claim like "wow, some of this food looks REALLY spicy!". That's the point when three other people at the table...

For whatever it's worth, I've found that ~90% of the time that I'm really attracted to a girl, she ends up being INFJ. I don't know if this is common amongst INTPs or not, but it's consistent enough for me to consider it a behavioral trend at this point. I also second the opinion that being...

I think there is some truth to this. I think it comes from the fact that we generally perceive things through extroverted intuition and spend a good portion of our energy on introverted thinking. This tends to leave us oblivious to details we don't care about due to poor Se. If I'm out with...

"As I Traverse My Shadow" by Hans Christian. http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/hanschristian-heart/ I just discovered this Magnatune label while watching a Dwarf Fortress video that I ran across by reading a thread on this forum about INTP games... Oh, how I love and hate the INTP attention...

This seems kind of INTJ, to me. While INTPs may not enjoy 20-40 minutes of Rihanna and Kesha, I think they'd be more likely to zone out, take it in and see what comes of it, or just deal with it than try and actively do something about it. I also generally don't think INTPs care as much about...

Both of your posts are so wonderful. I think each of you captured the beauty and awe of nature so very well. On the topic of death and loneliness - I think that lying down in a perfectly serene environment out in the woods or a field is a good way to really come to terms with things. I find it...

I have a chess club that I attended regularly as a kid. College screwed that up, and I've attempted to go regularly since I've moved back from college, but I always end up skipping out and then not going back for months ): .

Wizard :\ . Also...omg I want the Prinny. Prinny, dude!! Most exciting avatar, yet.

It's a little off topic, but do you mind if I ask why? I don't know a ton about Emerson, but I'm interested.

Well...I suppose this depends on the amount of time we're given. With enough time, I think nearly any style of writing could be emulated. I'll grant you that. However, I think it takes a lot more effort to emulate writing than to emulate others in person. At least, that's how I feel like it is...

Harder, imo. Much, much harder.

I can't decide if this is a serious post or not... All I can say is that I doubt that you actually changed your type in that fashion. If my understanding of MBTI is correct, and/or if the basic assumptions of MBTI are correct, then I think that it would take a long period of time of completely...

Ti-Ne: You see connections, possibilities, implications, and feel the need to make sense of them in your internal world of ideas and concepts. You will think about what you "pick up" from the outside world until it makes sense, and do not feel a need to change things for it to make sense. If you...

lol! I love it. Let's be honest, though. You were probably just mad you wasted some poptart (; . I was walking out the door from work a bit ago, and took a second to reflect on the complete silence in the stairwell. It was wonderful. I definitely think that, in addition to the curiosities of...

Sounds like a misunderstanding on my part. My apologies. I'm sure I'll catch on soon enough (: .

I think it's hard for any INTP with poorly developed extroverted functions outside of Ne to interact with a unique personality, 1on1 or not. That's probably most of us. I don't think it's a common trait amongst all personalities. Just look at a good number of your more extroverted friends. While...

Not moody, just there for emphasis. You made statements that seemed to indicate that I wasn't precise enough, so I figured I would address the issue but mention that I didn't think the clarification was necessary. At any rate, glad you love nature (definitions 2-4, 15 from previous link), as...

This is why I stated "nature", avoided the word "natural", and mentioned animals and wildlife. I don't actually think that clarification was needed, but just in case you're actually serious, see definitions 2-4 and 15 from the following link: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nature

Gifts Differing by Isabel Briggs Myers has a selection of tables where various groups were polled. It seems plausible in my eyes that from those tables that a few deductions or observations could be made: A. There is a correlation between sex and the "judging" function. Males tend to be type...

Whoa. I never really thought of it this way. I must now question myself. *ponders*

I think that I agree with this. I've seen the "INTPs mimic others" theory in several places. Originally I thought it had some merit, but now I think that there's probably more to it than that. INTP primarily interacts with the external world through their external function, Ne. With regards to...

While browsing around this forum, I haven't noticed a lot of discussion about nature, animals, or the outdoors. As a nature lover myself (though not as much in practice/habit these days ): ), I was curious as to whether other INTPs share a similar love. I feel like nature is a great way to...

Sign me up for the dark circles under the eyes and extreme allergies and sinus problems contribution. Like others, though, I think it's a stretch to try and use this as a visual indicator. The facial expressions, manner of speaking, and gaze are all things that I would look at before physical...

My guesses (probably all wrong): Jamie - INTP Adam - ENTP Tory - ENFJ Kari - ESTP Grant - INTJ Buster (ok, I know I pegged this one!) - ISFJ

I do this, as well! I think I mainly do it in order to become as distant from the person as possible, to better observe the situation from the outside. If I am nothing but what they expect, then I don't have to worry about perceptions - that is already taken care of. It's possible that it's also...

Takes a step onto a conveniently placed soapbox. I'm not as concerned with whether or not IQ tests are accurate or consistent as I am with the fact that they are associated with intelligence. I consistently score high on them, but it seems that the older I get, the less stock I put into them. I...

You've attempted to tackle a rather broad range of topics within one post, and it's pretty hard to address with a single reply. Instead, I'll merely ask you if you've read the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Your post is very reminscient of the book, to my eyes. All in all, I think it's good to...

Sadly, I have already purchased paper copies. They are on their way! When it comes to research material, I just prefer the paper. I think years of schooling from hard copies has me brainwashed :| .

Oh, absolutely. I think everyone is subject to this form of apathy at some point or another in life. Of course, I think INTPs are much more likely to experience this and much more frequently. I think it's also possible the INTP type to rarely experience this, though. Myself, personally; I...

I briefly considered ENTP, but I seriously don't see it. I obtain so much energy from having alone time to think and process things. People almost universally just...interrupt my thinking bubble. I also have very little to no desire to demonstrate my "capabilities" to others. The idea of doing...

Thanks! I have supposed that I have a high use of both Ni and Fi. I took an online test once that attempted to rack and stack my functions by how much I use them. Ne was highest, followed closely by Ti. Ni and Fi were almost tied for third, though Ni was slightly higher. So, I suppose that could...

Nope. I'm a Dylan lovin' American :crazy0:

All joking about the attention seeking nature of an intro thread aside, I figured I'd hop on the bandwagon and have a go. I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, and I've now determined that I won't be going away anytime soon. That's unusual for me - I have the tendency to become part...
