Based on people I know, ENTJs and INFJs seem to be the most likely to be aggressive. Look at Adymus thread "Faces of an INFJ" and see some of the more aggressive ones. (Like revolutionaries and cobras) I think Feand Te have the most to do with aggressiveness because of experiences I've had...

First off thanks a lot for the description of Ni/Se relationship and how that ability works. My sister is an INTJ and showed me that she could do it but you really helped me understand what I saw. Especially the "A causes B" part. One thing my sister did was take my drumstick and tell me from...

I actually don't hate Christmas, I bet I will over the next couple years though. I'm not dragged to family dinners or obligated to buy gifts or anything. The only real tradition we have is, one present on Christmas Eve and the rest the next morning. After that the food is the only Christmasy...

I know what you mean Giaduck. When my grandpa died, I didn't react at all. Strange because he's where I got all my music talent from, but I just didn't know him. I was in 6th grade. We were each supposed to go in there and say goodbye to him, I didn't know what to say. I stuck to basics, that I...

I remember when I was first looking into this, I took the book test and tested an INXP (literally scored half and half on T/F axis) and when I started looking into the functions I wasn't sure if I was an INFP or INTP (I knew I had Ne and Si with a pref for Ne, I knew I used Ti or Fi more...

I'd say logic. I'm confused now though. I thought INTPs had Fe as their 4th function and INFJs had it as their second? I thought they didn't have Fi? I also thought the main difference was one has Ni/Se and one has Ne/Si, but they both have Ti/Fe? :confused:

I've actually considered it before, but I know I definitely have Ne as my second (maybe first) function. I also know I have Ti and Fe. ENTP or INTP are my only options. My main point of the frustrations I put down was how frustrated I am that I have to use my Fe so much because of the people...

What frustrates me? The constant reminders that I am stuck here for a while. I procrastinated on getting into college (and I'm still not sure I really want to go) I remember talking to a close friend about it, explaining how useless I thought those degrees were. School isn't about knowledge...

hehe thanks. I should probably mention that the first 3 years (middle school) My teachers weren't the best at teaching technique in percussion. I came into freshman year unable to pass 80 beats a minute (first wall) and I took my first lesson with a drumline helper (who didn't teach at the...

I took music theory with my percussion teacher at school. I loved it. Since I had already been playing percussion pretty well for 7 years, learning theory was just a "Oh wow so that's how it works" thing. It made me love music even more because everything just makes sense. There were so many...

Yeah I do. There are different versions of "me" that answer me. It's all me though. Like I could make the others disappear if I wanted, but I doubt I'd want to. I would get lonely. XP Sad but true. Hey imaginary friends when you are a kid are considered a good thing, why should that change when...

I'm going to pull back to the original topic here: My trick on buying stuff "Eh it's cheapest and I like it well enough" or "It's not like I can't come back later and try x, I'll try y now" or in your menu example "So what if I can't finish it? Food later" Now when it's some kind of important...

My percussion director I had all through high school was one. He was a really easy going guy and had a different grading system. He was always buzzing with new awesome show ideas and we'd see him sometimes in class, sometimes alone in his office, just making things up. His Ti-Ne tangents were...

I never had trouble with contractions either. I use them in most situations but in papers for school I make sure I don't. On forums or facebook, I use them. You know you're an INTP when your father says "Who could last without a phone for 2 weeks?" and your first thought is "I could" then you...

Dude me too! I'm glad I don't act on them. :D Actually sometimes I do but chances are I won't actually follow the schedule.... or get it down on paper. We still have directive (J) functions but they drain us right? So maybe that's why. We want to do it, but it becomes draining so we don't act...

Wouldn't you want your Pness to grow? :)

How'd you manage that?

So I'm starting up a little study group thing to help some of my friends who are having trouble in high school. I'm basically giving a free tutoring service for a couple of reasons. One is to make school easier for them, and one is because I'm not going to college right away, so I can retain...

Yes. Developing you Fe doesn't change your type, you're just a more developed INTP.

I used to have a lot of trouble and I guess I still do. I don't think it's quite as bad now though. I have some best friends that I have almost no trouble maintaining a relationship with. They know and love me and I can tell them anything. I'm protective over them to an extent, and genuinely...

I'd say you're Ti and Ne are pretty equally developed regardless of which one is dominant. I have one extroverted friend who others would have guessed was an introvert, but as I started reading things around here, I realized she was an extrovert. I came to that conclusion because in class when...

I'm the eldest of 3 siblings. I'm 18 brother is 16 sister is 15. I've never really considered myself close to them. In fact growing up I especially hated my brother. He's an ENFP. He's good at pretty much everything he tries and he always had lots of friends around him. He was a center of...

Alright so I went back over it and added stuff from this thread. Here's what I have so far. Opinions please: Warning long. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Chagnes? Additions? I might never go back to it again. Feel free to take it and edit it as you see fit in your own word document. :D :phear:

Check around different pages. I identify with a lot of the INTP description, but I've identified with some descriptions of ENTP/ENFP and INFP before. For example INFPs readily develop imaginary friends. I had lots of imaginary friends throughout life. ENFPs have a "silly switch" that turns them...

Somewhat coming back to the thread topic: First off I have to say on the pokemon thing, we are definitely Mew. Anyone notice how he just kinda watched for most of the movie? He went through observing everything and trying out little ideas by himself. (Like the thing with the windmill) He was...

So my Mom is an INFJ. I guess I have some questions about recent behaviour. I kinda want to know what she's thinking. So I notice that every time I go to the store with her, as she's getting groceries, she always says things like "Hang on your dad will whine at that..." so she realizes that he...

Eh never had to work that hard, never had trouble in school. I just graduated with like a 3.2 not bad. It's enough for the scholarship anyway. School sucked the fun out of learning for me for the most part. I still learned well enough and made A's and B's and I don't think I've ever failed a...

haha I think we must have posted around the same time or something because I didn't even see that. Thanks Kokoro. Glad it was informative for you. :) Edit: Looking at the post time we didn't post around the same time. Either I left the thread up and then posted or I didn't see it for some...

So I've mentioned before that yes I have depression. Sometimes it gets really bad but I always try to pull myself out of it. My friends are pretty good at helping me with it. I've been told I should probably go to a doctor, but for right now at least, I control it with my drumming and my...

I don't sleep well at all. This is partially due to a childhood I won't go into but basically my sleep schedule when left alone (in the summer mostly) is 2-4 hour periods throughout the day. One at like 4 am another around 2 in the afternoon and then a random one that doesn't have a normal time...

Well that's good to hear! One of my biggest problems with talking to people is I second guess whether the other person wants to listen to me. :)

Check the Wiki on INTP, it lists the cognitive functions. Ti (introverted thinking) is our top one. If you'd like to learn more about cognitive functions, Adymus has a great thread in the MBTI and Typology forum. (I don't know how to link you sorry, anyone care to help me out?)

hmmm I'll edit that then. I'll change that to a learn by experience thing but I guess be aware that we may not understand body language well?

On the extroversion at school introversion at home. It's because you are around more people. Maybe the chameleon effect partially has something to do with it. It's a foreign place (in a way) so you act differently to figure out the new environment. While at home you can be your introverted self...

I actually did write one of these a while ago. If you'd like I'll post it and it can be reviewed/criticized and be told what to change. I'm planning on editing it tonight so after that I'll bring it here. -If your INTP has taken an interest in something, let him/her work it out. Just because it...

Pretty much this, the people in my head and I have hilarious conversations and then I'll actually laugh or smile or something. My uncle once asked me "What are you smiling about?" "Nothing" "You're up to something......You're always up to something. You're sneaky like a cat......Sneaky Shadow...

I drum. I listen to music and I avoid people. I have a couple friends whom I trust and who I may tell a little of it to. Then they'll tell me about their stresses and I'll attempt to give solutions. This may be "un-INTP" but helping people out really helps me forget about my stresses for a...

You're right in that Ash's argument was better. That was a bad example. I don't even remember how I came to that in the first place. :confused:

I was only restating what the argument was. The point of that side was that the dinosaurs are dead, not how it happened. You are right though. His other point though was that if they had been smart enough, the dinosaurs would have survived. I wasn't trying to start a debate about who was right...

Imrinfected: You seem like you either have some room for growth or I'm misinterpreting things that have been said. I may decide not to post this at all. :p First off: Have you ever been around some healthy Fs before? Some of the smartest people I know, in no particular order, are INFPs and...

haha I've done that. Actually I'm in the habit of only saying that when I mean it and it's funny because one girl who I don't like always says "I love you Shadow" and I'll say "Okay" or "cool" "Don't you love me?" "Ummm sure" then C will come up "I love you Shadow" "I love you too C!" You know...

I have an ISFJ mom (Though I think she is actually an INFJ and her test came out wrong, and an ESFJ father. When I was younger, he didn't understand and thought I was strange for my introversion. In second grade I went to a class on making friends and got some social skills growing up with him...

Male PMS exists! I knew it! For me, mood swings go in the opposite direction. I start out thinking about all the crummy stuff in my life and worrying about what I'm going to do about them, then I see my friends and I'm awesome again. If I do start feeling low, I tend to keep it to myself...

I have a friend who asks me questions all the time for school and explains her reasoning as "Well you are my walking encyclopedia, and if you don't know you tell me." A conversation that took place when I was dragged to a park with some friends to meet new people. Stranger, "Hey what about the...

Well as of now I'd say I have 3 friends that I like. We don't hang out much because we don't have the means (No one can get rides) but we hang out at lunch in school every day and practice together in the band room. (All 4 of us are band nerds) What do we do? Mostly we talk about stuff. This...

Agreed on the ENFPs rock thing. I dated one, he was awesome. :) On the talkitive: Yeah I can be around friends or about music or something interesting, but otherwise I'm pretty quiet. I think that's how most introverts are though. They talk about interesting things or with people they know...

Lots of great replies here. Soroya, It actually helps to know that lashing like that came from us being so close. I was actually thinking I was stupid to think we were close since she was able to say that. She's known me for about ten years and I assumed it was something she considered a...

This rich verus poor bull is what political parties feed on. "Obama has raised taxes on the rich but cut them on the working middle class" I hate to tell you it's not possible. When the "rich" coorperations have money, do you know what they do with it? They expand their buisness and hire more...

I never really had a problem making friends. I'm pretty much echoing everyone else here, just let them know you need your alone time. My friends are used to me disappearing for weeks at a time and know that large parties with strangers and I don't mix. I'm okay with going to small parties with...
