Hey! I'm guessing that the topic title is a reference to pokemon...? Anyhow, welcome. I also don't like INTPc a lot - I lurked there for a while, but I didn't like it :phear:.

Middle child out of three as well! Both of my siblings are INFPs, so we get along pretty well :).

I tend to have troubles accepting compliments - it just feels awkward, because I know that I'm not as great as the other person makes me out to be. I used to say, "nah, I'm not that great" all the time, but I've started to 'graciously' accept compliments after someone got miffed over the fact...

Sadly, I agree with everything that's been said here... How do you guys think student councils should be? How should they be changed? Who should be more responsible for what council does - teachers or students? Just some questions I'd like to talk about, because this topic's been in my mind...

I'm quite on the fence when it comes to INTP/INFP as well, Wacomydikid. If you're familiar with the cognitive functions (actually, it might be better if you're not so you can avoid any sort of bias) there's a good cognitive functions test that walfin showed us. The typical INTP function order...

I'm not really into graphic novels - I have Watchmen and V for Vendetta kicking around (they're my brother's), but I just can't bring myself to read them. I probably should, though... As for comics - I really enjoy Calvin and Hobbes...who doesn't? It's such a wonderful and witty comic that...

Sorry for gravedigging, but...here are my results: Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it...

What do you think about student councils? It doesn't matter if you were in it, if you had one at your school, or whatever - I'd just like to hear people's opinions on student councils...what they are, what people's perceptions of them are, what people think of the members of council, what they...

gotcha. I think that getting to understand one's self is why psychology in general is so popular (just look at everyone on intpforum discussing the MBTI :p). I have a question for you, actually - how do you see criminals? it's intentionally fairly open, so...

Ah, chemistry. I enjoyed chemistry in high school, because the courses I took had a lot more emphasis on theory and understanding than the chemistry courses I didn't take - there was a heavy focus on organic chemistry, and calculations were sparse. So far in university, I've taken the...

Hmm. I guess I'm the odd one out here - I've always been fairly aware of my body language/other people's, and actively use it to steer conversations or give off a certain vibe. I find it's a pretty useful thing to subtly show your interest in a topic, or tell what someone else is thinking by...

hmm, I guess if you're that adamant on me staying... :P well, I suppose it's understanding it that really intrigues me - to sort of see what factors contributed to the crime, and why. I think I started to get interested in it after reading about it...in both fiction and non-fiction books, and...

Nobody's mentioned mylifeisaverage yet? I like the first ones where it's more of a subtle mockery of fmylife, but the later ones are pretty funny too.

guess I am, haha thanks, and good luck to you too. I'll talk to you more on the forums, I suppose...

when you say "think of the perks," I imagine that I would be able to get hot chocolate any time I wanted...which would be pretty sweet I suppose (but still, too much work!) my life has been going, uh, somewhere? it's been great so far, though. I'm going to complete my undergraduate degree, and...

I guess so. but ruling the world seems like a lot of work...:P

That's a pretty sweet name for a parrot...and your post also made me think of that Flight of the Conchords song/phrase: "I had a budgie, but it died..."

Anything you have to say, really - training, environment, general thoughts, patients, bureaucracy, typologies of colleagues...really, anything at all. I'd just like to see an inside view from an INTP's perspective, since medicine is really an area of interest for me.

that's pretty awesome. I'm taking a criminal psychology course this upcoming semester, and I want to take a few criminology courses later on as electives...go figure.

Hmm. As it so happens, I have a textbook on forensic psychology right on my desk that I've been reading, so I think I'll be able to field some answers/suggestions (paraphrasing from the book/my own opinions on the matter). Stuff that's taken from the book is "in double quotes", while italics...

I rarely have grudges - it's generally hard enough to tick me off to that point. I tend to ignore any insults or snubs in my direction - why bother dealing with something like that? On the other hand, if you do happen to get me miffed (generally through sustained obnoxious behaviour), my...

I've never thought of it that way before - as an extension of "if I can't see or fathom it, then I don't believe it", applied to psychology. I always try to understand people...which is why forensic psychology (especially criminal psychology) appeals to me a lot.

that's been mentioned before - how someone's thoughts can't be entirely read from their physical expressions (although it can help in a lot of cases). With regards to Dupin, I think the meaning was to try and 'understand' the other person's psychology and way of thinking, and his facial...

close enough :P I'll be 19 in 751 days. milkshake? ... uh... I guess? the only milkshakes I've ever had were from mcdonald's...so no idea what a real milkshake tastes like. I'd imagine that they'd be tasty, though.

(note: sorry for so many out of game speeches, but I'd just like to say that this game will be quite free-form; feel free to use whatever skills you want whenever, or invoke your bonuses/flaws whenever you want. It can be as ridiculous/useless/useful as you want, but you can invoke them how you...

Thanks for the insight, anonymous, and welcome to the forum! I think your advice is quite informative - would you be able to tell us a bit more about your experiences in medicine? If you don't mind, that is.

Uh...no idea. It might have something to do with my strong Fi (I test as INFP many times) - I actually had a post written out last night, but then there was a database error... For justice/equity, my family always stressed the importance of giving everyone an equal chance - the whole "you...

heh, thanks for the compliment. I was originally introduced to the MBTI in Grade 11 (three years ago) but didn't care much about it. A few months ago, I started researching it again, and...here I am (after lurking when registration was closed) so, yeah.

Re: Demented - A Forum RPG\Rules & Discussion\Backgrounds Score! Alright, looks like Arco's been dropped...in North Bay, Ontario? scratch that. New York City, New York. Yeah.

Re: Demented - A Forum RPG\Rules & Discussion\Backgrounds Alright, after watching from the sidelines and debating whether or not I should joint...here goes. Name Professor Arco Slicer Background Arco Slicer was a successful nuclear physicist, known across the globe for his fantastical (yet...

I've never really thought about this - it's sort of interesting. When I walk down the street, I look up to the skies, and just think to myself...usually I find something amusing, so I end up smiling/laughing. If I don't want people to talk to me, I'll look lost in thought, as if pondering some...

yeah! I guess Canadians are pre-disposed to being that sort of dragon :p

Ah, intpforum. The only place where everyone can talk to himself, with nobody watching.

your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | LIGHT Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist. You...

I guess this thread is just about your username, and why you chose it...just a small explanation, I suppose, for curiosity's sake. Uh, I'll start. My handle is based off of Jaco Pastorius, who was a bassist that played for the jazz group Weather Report. I thought his name sounded pretty cool...

Me? I'm a Canadian university student...headed off to 3rd year in about two weeks' time. I like music, forensic sciences, and detective stories. Uh...my preschool teacher was from the United Kingdom, so I have a slight accent? I don't know what else to say...

Mithril Dragon In the war between good and evil, Mithril Dragons take the side of the noble and good. When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos. As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to...

Two bands that I listen to that might fit this category are The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Medeski, Martin, and Wood. They're both jazz-fusion groups...I especially like the albums Birds of Fire from the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Notes from the Underground and Out Louder by MMW.

Your Top Strength Creativity, ingenuity, and originality Thinking of new ways to do things is a crucial part of who you are. You are never content with doing something the conventional way if a better way is possible. Your Second Strength Love of learning You love learning new things, whether...

Hey, welcome, aklyatne! (since it's your first post, I guess?) Anyhow, I have definitely not changed my appearance...I've always kept a fairly short haircut and slight sideburns. I considered growing my hair out long about a year ago, but then I realized that long hair would take way too much...

I really can't make myself go to sleep if I'm in the middle of doing something interesting/important...say, on wikipedia or tvtropes :o. I'll know that I should go to sleep, but without anyone to make me, I sort of just stay up late. In the event that I do get to sleep earlier than 11 o'clock...

(that's perfect!) Looking outside, Sammy is somewhat bewildered to find that there's nothing physically stopping the train from moving - the tracks look clear. However, out of the corner of her eye, she sees what seems to be a lone man and a large creature of some sort walking by his side - by...

There's research done on MBTI type and specialty, and it seems as if NTs are a better fit for specialties that can present challenges and opportunities for research. I believe that the top 3 NT specialties are neurology, pathology, and psychiatry - where the doctor is 'challenged' and has more...

Alright, here goes. Please tell me any suggestions you have, as this is my first go at doing something like this. Chapter 1: Sergeant Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club "...a cursed swordsman, an explosives nut, and a thief?" Sergeant Pepper laughed to himself at the mere thought of such a...

Blue sweaters/hoodies, jeans, and loafers. Simple and comfortable...

Incorrect spelling ticks me off more than incorrect grammar. Most of the time, sites have spellcheckers - so there usually isn't even a good excuse to misspell words. That, and misusing their/they're/there. Urgh...:mad:.

Hehe, those characters look pretty wicked. We're just waiting on Pershire (or someone else) to throw in another one, and then we'll be able to get this on the go (most likely in a separate thread to avoid confusion).

Awesome. Looks like we have enough people to start now, and it looks as if I'll be directing this first round at it. Don't know how it'll turn out, but...hey, might as well try. I guess it's time for everyone to submit their characters now - it's all explained in the guidebook, so... We have...

Perfect! Now we just need...two or three more people, I guess. If you don't want to be the director, I guess there's no reason to delay character creation; here's a character sheet to organize it a bit (I guess?) Also, for anyone who's interested in directing, I have no experience doing...

Hey guys, I was looking for play-by-post games to play on this forum, and I ran across one called The Agency - it's essentially a mash-up/parody/pastiche of 60's spy shows, with supernatural/Lovecraftian horrors thrown in for good measure. It's quite tongue-in-cheek; I've read the rules and it...
