I’m allergic to apples. And, blueberries are awesome, but you have to pick out the squishy ones - they have the most flavor.

I'm not sure if this should be designated as untrustworthy after the first go-around. If you know this is how someone works, then you are the one in control (over what you let them know, and subsequently what they let others know). That is super manipulative, but (imo) if they can't be...

I’m with Vrecknidj & EO, calling this guy out would feel pretty good, but the repercussions of doing so probably aren’t worth that millisecond of glee. Plus, if this really is the only school in your area that teaches well, do you really want to risk being kicked out or further subjugated by...

I couldn't pick one. http://memegenerator.net/Ayn-Rand/images/new

Proxy, chill the fuck out. "Murdering of the Jews must be done because they have agreed to the implicit social contract of living in this society." - Really?! I don't agree with your political philosophies. Calling me (or anyone else) names isn't going to change my mind. Get over it and stop...

That is an interesting philosophical argument, but it amounts to nothing more than a fanciful idea that relies on nostalgia and a loose set of constructed principles masquerading as an alternative to the social and economic structure that already exists. Some do see it as a "violation of...

Oh please! I know that you don't like what he stands for, but that ad was completely taken out of context. The only people here buying it are those too stupid to know better or to willfully ignorant to admit they know better. I expect better from you.

While I see the benefits to trying to maintain a friendship with a person who has expressed feelings for you, I have a hard time reconciling that ideal with what I’ve both experienced and have witnessed in the past. Another factor to take into account is how deep those feelings run, and the...

I agree with Skip. Now that you know how he feels, continuing the friendship is cruel. Even if he says otherwise or if you can convince yourself otherwise.

Right now I’d settle for one that will open my jars and carry heavy objects up stairs for me.

Correct. We are talking about two different issues here now. Perhaps we need a thread spilt....I don't know the how far gone something has to go to justify that. But, at the risk of further derailing the thread I have a question. Why is it okay to accept the "religious" argument when...

1. No, I'm not tolerant of you. I'm fine with you not liking that or insinuating I'm wrong/bad because of it....really, it’s cool. 2. Why is it a negative thing if children learn to "accept that kind of thing"? 3. Stating your opinions is not making an argument, you're going to have to...

Warryer, your statements only speak the particular circus you were indoctrinated into and your anxieties about “non-traditional” families and relationships. Do yourself a favor; get some counseling, some empathy and some rationality. In the meantime, keep your bigotry to yourself….or at least...

If you like her then go for it. Don't care about what anyone else thinks or would do.

http://austin.culturemap.com/newsdetail/07-12-12-14-37-the-best-response-weve-heard-to-daniel-toshs-misquoted-rape-jokes/ I read this article the other day, and while not specifically about race, I think the same arguments can/should be made for the use of any potentially offensive language...

You are welcome to your own opinion, but I doubt you are going to change any minds on this one. Here's an idea, you go ahead an email him. Become good chums, talk about being fellow INTPs and whatnot. When he cons you into giving him money or steals your personal information (because you...

I don’t know about being a bot, but this is classic spamming. http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?threaded=1&v=tkIJZZgrO8U This has been flagged as spam Hey INTP's. You should visit my blog at benspheredotcom wordpress com . I am just starting out but I would love to have support from...

Personally, I think he is an introvert with a well-developed ability to extrovert when needed. Remember, most people are not one thing all of the time. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/self-promotion-introverts/201010/is-obama-introvert

I'm guessing I & T.

Awesome!!

I don't disagree with you, Dan – which leads me to more questions. To what extent are we willing to label personality types as stereotypes? Are these terms synonymous?

Completely possible. I attribute it to substituting “your” for “you” when rereading the text. I meant “your”, so that is what my brain sees.

LOL! *you[r] - Thanks BaP!

I guess what I'm getting at touches the J/P axis more than the S/N axis. Perhaps the P stops us from allowing our intuition to guide our decisions before our perception has an adequate amount of information. Still, there are incidences where I know that my intuition was correct - both in...

"TP = plan A. N = Plan B." Agreed, this is how I handle most situations, but on occasion I find that I've wasted a lot of time not trusting my intuition from the get go. I suppose it is something that should always be situational, but again, that's why I ask.

So I’m trying to pay more attention to what my intuition tells me about other people, particularly the vibes that I get when meeting someone new. Until now my tendency was to let my thinking and perceptive sides take the lead. For example, I will have an intuitive (gut) impression of a person...

^ Skip is right about the good manners and smiling. It is amazing how many walls a little bit of politeness will knock down. Not just with trying to make friends, but with everyday interactions with anyone.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Not even kidding. My roommate and I went, and I'm pretty sure we were the only two there under 60. It was good...yay Judi Dench!

1 - I'd say that's a fair assessment.

I understand how you feel, at least to the extent of my experience with what you are saying. What I've found the most frustrating is that I need to work up to being social; kinda like I need to build up my strength to throw myself out there. If those who I hang out with aren't available or if...

A little relief.

BOOOOO!!!! - 10 points for blatant usage of pun in intro thread.

Well done, sir. Well done.

Well, diagnosed disabilities fall under a federal no discrimination law. You won't be hired because of it, but you can't be fired because of it either (at least not directly). What would you like to do? Where do you think you'd be most comfortable? What are your skills? Is there a community...

Do most people assume that you are deaf? What are the common reactions when you tell people you aren't deaf? Do you experience any form of discrimination (from the hearing or deaf community)?

Does anyone know where Churchill said/wrote "there is no such thing as a good tax"?

Female, 32. Not so formal in dress unless the occasion calls for it. I usually have a twinge of hippy going on..... I prefer natural fibers when possible. I've been called an earth mother, whatever that means. At the moment I'm wearing track pants and an old t-shirt w/dried paint on it...

I see pig tails. I knew a girl with your name in grade school who wore pig tails.

This. Almost Daily. Currently, what exactly this new mousse is going to do to my hair, and I want a cigarette.

This type of image leaves me speechless.

How is it we are capable of this?

Construct validity was touched on before...several times. What else ya got?

Iceland? I need Fall. Can we take field trips?

By data do you mean scholarly articles that support your hypothesis? No, I have not. Are you implying that anyone who reads these articles must come to the same conclusions you have? What's the fun in that?

I'm not upset. I don't buy into what you are saying. From what I can tell, the reason this thread has derailed is because of the inability for some of those posting to separate construct from application. Which is fair, because blind and total application of IQ tests as a complete...

Total Eclipse of the Heart is particularly insidious. One can never know when it will strike or from which direction. It is gleefully ridiculous, obnoxious and catchy, which is why I keep it in my arsenal. :elephant:

You’re looking for a fight that isn't there. I am not questioning your intelligence; I am questioning your understanding. My closing comment was not related to the import of the tests, rather it was directed solely at you and your seeming lack of knowledge (or perhaps better word...
