Ditto, walfin. The only reason I can find my way around my city is because I keep a visual map in my head, and I 'fly' around to find a path (I swear I'm not crazy! :p) I didn't even realize that some people couldn't do it; I thought it was a universal skill. Guess you learn something new...

Concentration has always been fairly elusive to me when it comes to schoolwork - I always get sidetracked by some random tangent that I think of, and then thinking or researching about said topic (generally unrelated to the work) takes up the time I had planned for doing work. Oddly enough...

As an outlet for Ne. Dancing/singing just lets me get stuff out and be ridiculously spontaneous, as it were.

I love to turn on the stereo, put on a playlist, and just go wild and dance/sing to the music. Of course, that's when nobody's around...

I got 28...guess I'm not so good at reading with just eyes. It's funny, because the ones I got wrong, I had a gut feeling to choose an answer, but after careful ("careful") consideration, I always chose another one - which turned out to be wrong. Guess my intuition knows best :).

Welcome to the forums, Denizen! (since it's your first post...?) Hope you'll enjoy your stay here! Back on topic, does anyone else have a problem with throwing stuff out? It's quite hard to bring myself to throw away/recycle papers or trinkets, even if I know that in all probability, they'll...

Thanks! :) I've been playing for quite a while...eleven years, I think. It's great fun to play, and definitely helps me let off steam after working/studying too much. I'm sure you're pretty good too!

Agh! You guys have such nice voices...(and JoeJoe, the mario theme song = wicked). I can't sing at all, so I uploaded a piano piece instead - Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso (it's slow in the beginning, but...)

Thanks, Razare.

I'm not trained in the visual arts, but I tend to enjoy minimalistic and abstract art a lot more...just sort of seeing the possibilities in the pictures/thinking about stuff the art brings to mind is the closest I ever get to visual art analysis :o. I also enjoy landscape and nature photography...

But here, forum welcomes you!

Time management...if only I could do that effectively. Sadly, I always get sidetracked whenever I'm doing something and say, "eh, that won't take too long...I still have a week left...", which turns into "eh, I still have a couple of days left..." which turns into me staying up very late the...

C. Auguste Dupin, from The Murders in the Rue Morgue/The Mystery of Marie Roget/The Purloined Letter (by Edgar Allan Poe) struck me as very INTP-ish (although one could make a case for INTJ, he seems to be more of an INTP - in contrast to later detectives, like Holmes).

That's an interesting take on things, Anthile, and I sort of agree. I was told that the percentage indicated how much you prefer to use that function over the other one, and not the 'strength' of that function. Thus, a higher percentage would not only indicate how strongly the traits manifest...

I'm always at odds with myself if I'm INFP or INTP. A lot of times, I feel myself having gut reactions/instincts and wanting to do what's right, but then I sit back and reflect for a moment on if I should do that or not (and usually the end results are the same)...but I've tested more as INTP...

Awesome! When I was younger, I used to be so frightened by Spirited Away - Miyazaki created such an atmosphere of isolation and desperation (I remembered like it was being stuck in a dream...) I watched it again recently, and I found out how much of a work of art it is; the themes...

-I try to eat healthy most of the time, mainly by cutting out junk food (i.e. potatos, chips), eating less meat, and eating fruits and vegetables. I'm not a rabid health food fan, but if I'm not tempted too badly, I'll always take the apple instead of the cookie. -There's a farmer's market near...

I actually haven't listened to his symphonies...sadly :(. I'm only slightly familiar with his string quartets (which, from what I've heard, are awesome!) Actually, come to think of it - I'm not too informed on anything later than the romantic era (I should start listening to more contemporary...

Myself, I tend to play a lot of music (piano, cello, guitar), read books, write (in a diary, a story, whatever), or play video games. In the way of books, I suggest reading the Holmes Short Stories, novels by Agatha Christie, or the any of The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie...

I like practicing martial arts and fencing; I find that they're pretty good for discipline, and help keep me (relatively) in shape. My favourite team sport has got to be soccer-baseball (yeah, I'm still a kid at heart)... I definitely think that exercise is good for mind and body, too. I...

When you're excited to walk home from work, because it means you can walk slowly...to read more of that book you have in your hands.

Right now, criminal psychology. I blame Poirot...

I've tried cooking before with...interesting results. Oh boy... I do enjoy it, though! I always try and experiment to see what will happen (tofu + barbecue sauce? ham and jam? yes.) Sadly, it doesn't usually turn out very well :p.

I remember I once took an MBTI where S/N were instead termed facts/ideas. I think it's a fairly good way of getting the ideas across - whereas sensors usually don't have a lack of concrete, physical facts or experience, they usually can't grasp abstract ideas as well as intuitives. On the...

Hmm...I've taken this cognitive functions test before, and if I remember correctly, it came out something like this: Ti - 9 Fi - 8 Ne - 8 Ni - 6 Se - 5 Si - 4 Te - 3 Fe - 3 Strangely enough, my Fi is one of my strongest scores...

Apparently, people have told me that I act a lot like L...apparently it's because I slouch, walk slowly, and have a "pensive stare" (traits I'm sure a lot of other INTPs share!) And that's before they've seen me sit on armchairs in strange ways (I don't always draw in my knees, but I really...

That is quite true, and an interesting point - I suppose there always is subjectivity when it comes down to things like this. Still, I don't understand when people just follow others mindlessly without any sort of reasoning or explanation on their behalf (not to sound pretentious or...

As long as I can cross over from one side of the room to the other without tripping, I think that's an organized enough room :p. Oddly enough, I do have some semblance of organization in my room; all my clothes are in my closet or on the floor in front of my closet, all my books/study work is...

Ah! How could I forget about System Shock 2? That game scared me so badly when I played it...a few months ago :o. Another two games that I just remembered are: Kingdom of Loathing: a web-based epic persistent RPG with stick figure graphics (it's a lot better than it sounds!) The far out...

I think that there is a correlation between creativity (which could be a form of intelligence - after all, no great breakthroughs were created without creativity) and depression. Why? I remember reading something that linked rumination (excessive self-reflection/thinking) with depression; the...

I don't resent people for not being unique - I resent people who jump at any chance they have to get onto bandwagons without any sort of reasoning or thinking. People who simply wear clothes/join groups/do activities just so that they can be a part of a group without having any sort of...

Another great guitar site is justinguitar.com...not too much in the way of tabs/sheet music, but the site has excellent lessons on a wide range of stuff (blues, jazz, rock, scales, chords), and a supportive/open forum community. The instructor's also pretty personable (it's very odd how it...

Adamastor, what you're doing is quite admirable - you're leaps and bounds ahead of people who aren't even trying. I've had extensive musical training (not to sound pompous), and I think the most enjoyment I ever get isn't from deconstructing a song entirely, or analyzing its chord structure...

Hey guys, I was just thinking about getting a thread running about games you think are good (for INTPs, or just in general) - and not just limited to video games. I guess I'll just start off... Clue - a game of deduction where you have to figure out three unknown cards by asking...

A lot of what's been said definitely holds true to me, as well. I really don't feel comfortable with hugs/shoulder rubs/massages - it feels like too much of a breach of my privacy. I can't even fathom acquaintances giving each other back massages/shoulder rubs, and yet I see it happen all the...

Thanks for the welcome, guys! Cryptonia, right now I'm pursuing a biochemistry degree...but for electives I'm taking a lot of psychology courses, and I'm hoping to get a criminology course in here and there. What about you?

One of my best friends is (most likely) ENTP...he can be a bit of a pushover sometimes, but I've gotten used to it :p. He's a really nice guy at heart, but a lot of people think he's just strange (well, I do too, but strange in a good way). It's always fun to talk to him, because then he...

Hey guys, I've been lurking on this forum for about two weeks, and I'm really glad that registration's back up. Uh, a bit of background info I guess? Currently I'm an undergraduate student in university (heading off to third year soon, I suppose). I've known about the MBTI since Grade 11...
