    why do iNTPs love mainstream music?

    I love all types of music. I got in a fight with my friend who works in the music industry about the labeling and categorization of music. He put on a festival last year called governors ball music festival in New York. He asked my opinion about putting together lineups and he wants to get Indy...

    Hi

    See, for me, there is nothing I love more than "greyskies" because, either way, I'm going to stay inside whether its nice or shitty out, and when it's shitty out, this means that everyone else's day is ruined. This gives me some sadistic pleasure for some reason. Anyway, welcome to the forum.

    Perception, Self-Confidence, and Maturity

    Good points. Sometimes it's hard for people to determine the intent behind an action or statement. I like to think that I'm decent at distinguishing arrogance from self-confidence. I've never read Abraham Maslow, but he sounds interesting. I think they are "judgement calls," but I was...

    Stranded in university

    Let me stress that there is a difference between going to college to get a degree and going to college to get an "education." I have no doubt that college is not particularly necessary to become proficient or knowledgeable in a subject of interest. Where I come from at least, having the degree...

    Perception, Self-Confidence, and Maturity

    Yes, yes it is. What's your opinion on self-confidence and maturity, though? I guess I should have asked that in my post.

    Perception, Self-Confidence, and Maturity

    Came across this in my documents. One of my stupid ramblings from some time ago. It is interesting the way you perceive yourself and how other people perceive you. I think becoming more mature means having more self-confidence. And I believe self-confidence will get you pretty damn far in this...

    What are you all reading?

    Agreed. There's always some "laugh out loud" moments for me when I read Kafka. I find some of his stuff absurdly funny. Right now I am reading the Autobiography of Gandhi and The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner.

    Please LIKE for Christmas gift

    I don't get why he asked for "likes." If I was 15, I would have asked for sex; nonetheless, hopefully his intention was to bring awareness to his affliction and not just as an ego-booster. In that case, I see no problem in participating, though, like DT, I do sort of despise "likes" for some...

    INTPs and the subsequent hangover

    I think I'm sort of the same way. If I do go out, I drink pretty heavily. Of course this means I'll smoke a shit load of cigarettes as well. Like the OP, there is definitely an awkwardness I feel in social situations. Drinking helps. I don't find too much wrong with this. My friends and I...

    The worst Fox News moments of 2011

    The effects of marijuana on an INTP

    Is this legit or just acting?

    Definitely acting. I don't see any tears, mostly people making a bunch of noise. I'm guessing a lot of people were paid to go out there and do that.

    "Oh, now I've done it."

    Ha. I would just do a general overview then keep it to Q & A sessions. Then after no one raised their hand after 5 seconds, I would say thank you then run out of there. But, yeah, I agree with Snafu. If I give a presentation, I have to write out some sort of script or else I'll just go...

    Money and Happiness

    I always hear the expression that money doesn't equal happiness. However, I was wondering whether having lots of money gives you the opportunity to be more happy (if that makes sense)? Would you ever consider being miserable for a couple of years to make lots of money? Have you ever compromised...

    Curb Your Enthusiasm - perfect for INTPs

    bizarro george was the best. Yeah, I've noticed Larry David recycles many of the ideas from Seinfeld, but he always takes the idea to another level. I couldn't really pick which show I like better. Although a lot of the same type of humor is involved, Seinfeld and Curb are completely different...

    INTP directors

    What about Stanley Kubrick? He was known to do an interminable amount of takes. He would have to get shots from every possible angle, make his actors approach the scene using every range of emotion, and was the consummate perfectionist. When he finally got enough money he moved to England...

    Curb Your Enthusiasm - perfect for INTPs

    I don't use the word brilliant that often to describe somebody, but Larry David is someone I consider brilliant. His story lines are so unique and all of the intricate scenarios somehow connect and come together at the end. I also love how no topic is off limits: pissing on a painting of Jesus...

    Friends

    Your first problem is thinking in terms of "cliques." Make friends with the individual, not with cliques, and that way you avoid all the pressure you might feel on how you should act in a group dynamic. An individual's behavior changes in a group dynamic. Generally, we are non- confrontational...

    INTP ESFJ similarities? o__O

    Was raised by both parents. My mother's ISFJ too. Like I said before, my father and I agree on many things and share many interests.

    Social Rebellion

    The idea of being a rebel because you listen to a certain kind of music or wear different clothes is absurd. That is the superficial sort of rebellion. Eventually, wearing that type of clothing (i.e. goth) becomes a sort of uniform. And there's nothing rebellious about that. Being disagreeable...

    INTP ESFJ similarities? o__O

    My dad's an ESFJ and I don't think we are similar one bit. I guess I can say there are many things that both interest us (love of history, adventure, sports, etc), but I wouldn't say this makes us share any of the same personality qualities.

    What should you be doing right now?

    I thought this would be kind of amusing as I'm in the library and have not been able to concentrate on my work for the past 20 minutes. What should you be doing right now instead of being on this site or exploring the web? I'll go first: Writing a Letter of Intent for my Contracts class.

    At this point, just get any job for the time being. What about being a substitute teacher in math or science? Then eventually you can find the job you want. Going to grad school will just render you more in debt at this point. Right? Try writing a novel. Or writing in general. This helps get...

    What type do you think smiles the most?

    Yeah, I think I smirk a lot. Usually it's due to some thought in my head. It comes at very random moments though. Also, sometimes certain situations make me smirk because of the absurdity of it. I guess I haven't really articulated my annoyance that well. I suppose I'm more annoyed with constant...

    Sometimes going through a major transition is hard. I've been in your position several times throughout my life too.

    What type do you think smiles the most?

    I'm the first one to smile when it's warranted. And I have a real strong laugh. I don't have a problem with smiling. I'm talking about someone who smiles all the time in every situation. For instance, I was in court a few months ago for a child murder case. The forensics expert who was on the...
