Ender Wiggin from Ender's game Paul Atreides from Dune

Although i am 100% INTP ( my father is intp as well), ever since childhood I've always had a natural ability to make friends very easily ( probably due to the influence of my esfj mother....curse her...). Anyways while this probably is a stupid thing to complain about, I find this this is a...

That's actually some what right. I do find myself worrying about changing into a person i don't want to become a lot...it also happens to the album name of one of my favorite cd's from back in high school heh.

Just noticed your post..haha can definitely relate to those lyrics, out of curiosity why'd it make you think of me?

Lately I've been finding that all I can think about is the future, which is something I'm sure most of you can relate to at least somewhat. I'm a junior in college attending USC. I'm studying psychology and music industry. I love the classes, the professors, and am making a ton of connections...

Hmm. Everything you said in that first paragraph is true to an extent...but I feel like the way in which you worded it gives it a negative connotation. I met a girl I was interested in, decide to give it a shot and after starting to get to know her well decided she would be the type of girl I...

Haha yeah, my ENTP friend tends to do the same. I've realized that surrounding myself with intuitives rather than sensors is a good first step towards being happier...but I'm getting to the point where I don't think I could be in any sort of serious relationship with anyone but an intuitive...

Lately I've been in a really weird place, and I'm starting to realize that a lot of it has to do with the people I've been surrounding myself with. I'm living in a house for the summer with 6 of my closest friends, all great guys. But I'm finding more and more that despite how close I am with...

Yeah, I've decided that this is probably the best way to view the situation. I don't want to spend months doing the whole game/courting thing its just way too much stress. I'll be home in a couple of weeks, hopefully we'll be able to go on a date or something and either things will go well and...

Hm ok well that makes sense, and it is something I have been trying to work on...a bit hard to accomplish through instant messenger though haha. Well I'll be going home for a bit in a couple of weeks, so I guess I'll have to wait until then to see exactly where this stands but I definitely think...

Yeah that makes sense. I guess I never understood why someone would feel awkward about something like that, especially if the feelings were mutual. To me the awkwardness is in having that tension out there that both parties are aware of but neither wants to discuss so I end hiding my feelings...

That is a good point about the social pressures, because she really does strike me as more of an introvert. She loves video games , writing, poetry, listening to music...a lot of activities by herself and being alone doesn't seem to bother her. Nothing about her makes her seem like an extrovert...

Am I hallucinating or did some of the recent posts from this topic get deleted? Anyways she finally took the test and I found out she's actually ENFP. The other night we had a a really intense talk...like for the first time I felt like she was actually opening up to me about personal issues, and...

Haha yeah seems like we have a lot in common, its a little scary. I also am a huge fan of "scholarly" hip hop....are you into any old school stuff like A Tribe called Quest or Jurassic 5? I haven't done much hanging out on IRC channels, but I'll definitely have to check it out. Decaf: Thanks...

Very well put.

Yeah, when I said addictive I meant mentally addictive. It definitely does not create a physical dependency.

I think its also important to note that weed can be classified into two different strains ( Indica and Sativa) both of which have profoundly different effects when smoked. Indicas produce more of a "Body" high, that makes you want to sit around and do nothing ( think stereotypical stoner...

As the others said...it's a thought stimulant. When I smoke in small amounts I find my creative abilities expand infinitely, its much easier for me to write, and am able to be very introspective in a productive way. Some people get paranoid or "too high". With the exception of maybe one of the...

Yeah if he's an INTP he's definitely going to love it. I say don't make a big deal about it, as long as it doesn't get to the point where it starts affecting his grades or his relationships it's really fine.

Heh, same here. College student? How/ when did you hear about MBTI and start applying it to your life?

Alright cool, thanks for the advice guys, and thanks JoeJoe for typing that up for me, I think it will be pretty useful. I'll keep you guys updated as the situation progresses.

Good question. Although I'm not 100% sure, a couple things about her lead me to believe that she is an N rather than a S. In general, just when we talk she has more of an "N" vibe to her...she seems to be more about the big picture, and future oriented. Also I've seen some of her writing (mainly...

Wow, a lot of great advice in that post. Since you seem to be somewhat of an expert on the topic can I ask another question? 1. What signs would an INFP show through talking online that would indicate interest? So far I have her bringing up the idea of us hanging out in person soon, and just in...

Blah, yeah i know. I think I'll be fine as long as she doesn't lose interest within the next month, because then I'll have an opportunity to take her out, and then after that she'll be going to college like 20 minutes away from me..(another reason why i'm so interested...i'm really hopeful this...

Yeah that's what sucks about this situation. I finally find a girl that I'm seriously interested in and it comes at possibly the worst time ever. I want to keep talking to her online cause I don't want her to think I'm not interested, but there's really only so much a relationship can develop...

I guess I should clarify. When I said we've hung out once IRL, it wasn't one on one or anything. I was actually at lunch with a mutual friend and that's how we met. After that I bumped into her the next day, and ever since then we've just been talking online. Haha and yeah, I've ruined...

Yeah, I feel like that's what I've always done. I'd love to ask her out ASAP, and as I said she even brought up the idea of us hanging out, but there's no opportunity for another month. So what do I do in between now and then in terms of our conversations online?

I'll look into both of those books, and I'd definitely appreciate it if you would be willing to type some or all of that up for me :)

I've recently been talking to a girl who went to my high school online, and I think she may be an INFP. I'm not 100% about the "F", but that's what I'm guessing. (i've mentioned the test to her a couple of times and she just complains about how long it is....) But anyways, we've been talking...

Haha. Mind if I ask how old you are?

This is something that I've been thinking a lot about recently as well. I'm really curious as to what the underlying neurological causes for ones personality type are. Unfortunately I don't have much to contribute in terms of ideas, but hopefully as continue taking more psych classes at school...

Thanks, it sounds like you're on the right track too. It definitely all starts when you realize there's no point in attempting to be "normal", and just embracing yourself. I feel like its a bit difficult used to at first because people start reacting to you in a different way, but it gets easier...

Hmm yeah, I can definitely relate to that first part. My confidence definitely comes and goes in waves, that example of text messaging has happened to me on way too many occasions. I'll get so excited about getting a text from a girl a like, but if she doesn't respond I start worrying and going...

I have never been a particularly confident person. In fact you could probably say that most of my life I've been really insecure. Despite being able a generally well liked person, and making friends fairly easily, I've always felt horribly out of place as I'm sure a lot INTP's have at some...

That's a very encouraging post. Do you have any specific advice for someone in the beginning stages of undertaking something like this? Right now my goal is to have a "treatment" for the screenplay finished by the end of the summer

Also, I agree with you that it is unfortunate that we need to resort to weed to bring these things out. Have you found any other things that help with this?

Oh yeah, I'm definitely aware of that. I actually find it kind of satisfying in a way being able to go to work high and be productive and not have anyone else have any idea that I'm high.

Haha yea its really weird. This summer I'm working full time at this marketing company and living in a house with 6 close friends. After my first week at the job, I realized I could easily come into work high and no one would notice. I tested it out, and the results were great. I was much more...

Yeah that's definitely good advice. I'm not modeling everything on my own life, but I find that in order to create more realistic characters it helps to base them to some extent on the personalities of people I actually know.

I was thinking about this today, and came to the conclusion that in general the effects of weed on my mind can be summarized pretty well by saying that it reverses each of my functions. Introverted thinking becomes extroverted thinking. Instead staying in my head, I tend to be more comfortable...

Interesting, that's also something I'm going for with the protagonist in my novel/screenplay. I'm not sure about you, but I know that in my case the main reason for this is probably that my protagonist ( at least personality wise) is very much based on myself.

Excellent point. Maybe in a way I feel like I'm "settling" by writing a screenplay?

Yeah, its for this reason exactly that I decided to shift my idea from a novel and turn it into a screenplay.

NoID10ts- Thanks for the book suggestion! I looked it up on amazon and was about to purchase it, but actually found out that my film friend already owns it so I'm going to borrow it from him and read it. I think that it will be really helpful in helping me to refine my writing skills. And as for...

Heh yeah, I guess looking back its kind of written in a way that makes me think that..but I think that's just me trying to convince myself I'd be good at it to give myself confidence. I really would like some outside thoughts, maybe some tips from any one else here who has attempted to go about...

Sci-fi screen writing to be more specific...I've always been interested in creative writing, but have rarely ever had the motivation to get any project anywhere near completion. I started working on some ideas for a science fiction novel set 100 years in the future about a year ago and showed it...

Last night was my first time experimenting with DXM (Dextromethorphan, cough medicine) and I have to say it was a pretty profound experience. Its pretty tough to describe exactly how it feels, but the best I can do is that it's like your drunk in the sense that your body is numb to all...

Just watched Pink Floyd's The Wall for the first time last night, and I have to say I was pretty impressed. I was a little turned off by the abstractness at first, but once things started coming together I enjoyed it and found it do be a fairly compelling experience. What are other people's...

Hmm, interesting. There is definitely a lot of merit to what you say, and I'll have to give it some more thought but my main point was that I think I'd be really good at marketing because of my personality type, not necessarily that its what I want to do. And regarding the statement about it...

I was wondering what you guys thought about the field of marketing in general. I'm going to be a junior in college and had never thought about a career in marketing, but stumbled across an internship this summer and have really enjoyed it for the first week. Even though I wouldn't say a career...
