If someone came to you with a problem, would you try to rationalize their problem and tell them what to do based on logic, or would you comfort them and choose your woods carefully as to tip toe around hurting their feelings? Perhaps you should read some more about Fe and see how familiar you...

Yea, I normally help people when I can. Except if it's something they can do for themselves, and then I ask them why they just don't simply do it themselves. Normally this is my sister.

I would be very wary to put too much merit into that test. "Based on the ordering of these functions, what conclusions can most reasonably be drawn?" Why would that be a good place to start? It's only one of dozens of tests that have gotten her nowhere thus far. I don't think there's...

That was a good read Fukyo...thanks for the link. The one thing that stood out to me is that she clearly stats some people are neither extroverted nor introverted, but somewhere in the middle. Do they just have very well balanced dominant and secondary functions, or does the theory need to be...

Adymus, any chance you could explain this a little more? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

No one else here feels that writing comes to them naturally? Maybe it's just me. I don't even have to think about what I'm typing, it just kinda comes. I attributed this to Ne, or at least the Ne/Ti combination, since A) My brother has Ti/Se and is not a good writer, and B) My INFP friend...

But doesn't Ne factor into intelligence? And I think Ne can work well for fiction or non-fiction, but I think that would depend on what function it's working with (Ti for non-fiction, Fi for fiction). Maybe what I really am referring to is just having the natural ability to write easily...

Would anyone else agree that Ne types make very good writers? It seems to me that this function is incredibly useful in writing. After all, I do remember reading that words and ideas spout effortlessly from Ne types, or at least something to that effect. I can just sit down and write and...

Let's debate:) I don't have anything against S types, really, but I do find that I get along with N types much, much better than I do S types. Does that mean I hate S types? Of course not - they are the way they are in the same way that I am the way I am. It's not changeable. So I certainly...

Are the functions real? I'd say they'd have to be real to an extent. What amazes me is how they correlate with eye movement! Why is that so? But nonetheless, that is a pretty good indication to me that the functions are real (along with how we can type people and how we all have at least a...

Dude you definitely should. Actually I shouldn't say that, as I have no idea what you'd be getting into, and you run the risk of getting raided by the DEA or run out of business by the million other pot shops in town. But the idea is awesome! Ever watch Weeds? Good show. I recommend it.

While this may be somewhat true due to the type descriptions of MBTI, it is in no way true in regard to the theory. The theory is what MBTI is based off of, and all MBTI is is a test to help you figure out what your top two functions are. The type descriptions are similar, as they are only...

A big hint towards E/I is how you engage the camera. But, really, I can't tell from your video. You started off looking at the camera a lot and pretty engaged, so I was gonna say E, but that could just be good practice (especially with military training). Do you feel more comfortable looking...

I would avoid over-generalizing here, as I have both an INTJ and INFP friend and they are equally interested in the theory. I'd say the biggest factor in whether or not you like MBTI would have to be N/S. While I guess S types could like the theory for it's practical use, I still believe they...

I don't think the goal is so much to figure out one's type as it matches up to a bunch of behavior based descriptions as it is to figure out and identify what cognitive functions you use consciously and in what order you prefer them. That's really what the theory all comes down to.

My amateur typing skills say you are an INTP. You took to your right a shit ton, which is your Ti, look to the top left when you're trying to remember something (Si), and the rest of the time look at the camera (Ne or Fe). At least that's how I understand it. Also, monotone voice is a good...

It's been a while since I took biology, so excuse me if I'm way off base, but recessive gene possibly?

Oh yes. My sister and mom bond through material items. My brother wanted to change majors because he didn't think the one he was in could support the lifestyle he wants (must have top of the line EVERYTHING.) My mom constantly talks at me like I'm 3 and can't figure things out on my own and...

I played forward, and loved playing center. I have a pretty grounded, thick body that I could use along the boards and in front of the net, as well as for hitting . Screening the goalie and having people try to move me might have been my favorite thing besides destroying people. And you...

Do you have a monotone voice and lack articulation, or do you accentuate points when you talk and articulate fairly well? You seem like you could be INFJ to me, which the latter would indicate, but who knows. Welcome anyways.

You sound pretty damn INTP to me. You also sound just like me after I took the MBTI for the first time. I remember reading over the description and being like "Holy shit...that's me." Then I started thinking about it more and started to doubt myself more and more as I went (and since I knew...

Mother - ESTJ Father - ISTJ Brother - ISTP Twin Sister - ESFP Me - INTP Awesome family, huh?:rolleyes: Half-Sister - ISFP (dad's side with definite S ex-wife) Half-Sister - ENFJ (dad's side with definite S ex-wife) I guess MBTI has to be at least part genetics, although I'm not sure how I end...

Am I the only one extremely disappointed that cake icing did not dominate this thread?

My brother is an ISTP and fits all the traditional traits such as monotone voice, mechanic (loves his car and car shows), loves fixing things, loves tools, etc., but he definitely throws temper tantrums. I saw this described as "SP Rage" on TypeLogic. He sees these small little problems and...

Holy shit...I love you for sharing this. THANK YOU.

I just want to say great first post, especially the bolded part. I've been thinking about this lately, and I do think I saw getting into a good college as "Whew, I made it, now I can relax a little bit." I think that paragraph alone is going to help motivate me in school next year. The tool...

I got 16....fun test....last one was really challenging...I picked three because the difference between one number and the next was always 7 or 3. Answers to the questions and the scoring system is below in the spoiler tags:

I think this is very accurate. I don't like animals/pets very much, but I can relate with babies. I have four nephews and a niece, and I love them to death. I've considered this many times - that I enjoy interacting with them because I don't have to worry about what they're thinking about me...

I am the opposite of a natural at this...

I've never actually hallucinated while on these drugs, probably because I haven't taken high enough doses yet. But what I'm really talking about as pertaining to this thread is how these drugs alter the construct of reality your brain normally operates in.

I've never done mescaline either, just LSD and shrooms (multiple times), although mescaline certainly sounds like a great experience. About the piece of shit stoner thing, well, I like being the minority.:) And thanks about the avatar -- you like ska too?

If you guys really want to understand how our reality is constructed by our brains, take hallucenogenic drugs. They're a much better example than this. :D http://mescaline.com/huxley.htm

Found this on Stumbleupon. It's meant to demonstrate how our reality is entirely constructed by our brain. It's pretty awesome...gets more impressive near the end. http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/psych/www/about/BIT-1024.swf

If I'm not mistaken, that's a pretty common thing for most INTPs. I have a pretty bad case of it, because my normal face looks like I'm extremely pissed off, so people always think I'm angry at them. A lot of times when I don't smile for a picture (because I can't do so naturally), people will...

Haha I do this a lot too, ESPECIALLY after I have just smoked a bowl. Often times in that situation I will also start talking to "myself" in the mirror. Who know how long this can go on for..it gets pretty ridiculous...

You guys seen this? Pretty awesome job by these guys. YouTube- Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles)

Sorry for any unnecessary assumptions I made, I just tried to help the best I could from what I've gathered in this thread and my experiences in life. And that last part was just something else that came to mind I felt like sharing my opinion on. My mind tends to wander.:)

CJ, I have a question for you. You keep saying how unhappy you are that you've been unable to establish relationships with people and connect to them, but most of your pictures show you with people. Why is that? If I had a bad history with squirrels, I don't think I would make my avatar a...

Hmmm...that's a good way to put it. Nevermind.

If you're ignorant to something how can you know that you are ignorant to it? I'd say your first sentence is the definition of ignorance, while your second one is an oxymoron. That's just my understanding of the word, though.

I would enjoy reading some of these I think, but I have zero interest in joining facebook.

Ignorance is bliss.

Personally, I think this is a sweet, sweet idea. I've always wanted to have a big van I could hang-out/live in. A houseboat would probably be the best option for me, though, besides my inability to easily obtain things like groceries. However, I don't think this is actually what you want to...

I've been thinking about becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist myself lately. I'm curious as to which one you guys would be good for an INTP. Psychology sounds more interesting in it's description (the science of the mind as opposed to medical treatment of it), but I think it'd be more...

I can relate to knowing an INTJ, as my friend I've known since 2nd grade is an INTJ. Definitely a good match, and I feel like we understand each other on a certain level. My dad was actually pretty interested in it, although he's too computer retarded (types 1 key at a time) to really put...

You sure you could get inernet out there?:p

I'm always worried about getting caught. If I'm not somewhere I feel safe it can really freak me out. Sometimes I will take the shrooms and then start second-guessing myself, and that is never good. As long as I have something stable and real and can keep a grip on reality I'm usually fine...

This looks pretty sweet I like modern houses with lots of glass, but hate the little privacy it gives you. I would need me house made of tinted windows lol. But it's gotta be a peaceful enviroment....like an awesome forest or alongside the ocean...with minimum amount of people but lots of...
