The idea of left brain, right brain has always been mysterious to me. Whenever someone talks about left brain, they all but describe the judging function of thinking, when they describe right brained people, all I think is intuition. So wouldn't that suggest that all INTPs, ENTPS, INTJS, and...

Personal growth, better understanding of concepts and opinions; change. Talking about ideas is like food for intuition. I *need* it. But I personally know of very few people that are interested in having intelligent discussions with people they don't know well. But those types of people are...

I am an asshole. But that is so not why.

First, I think you have a basic misunderstanding of the theory. The point of being an INTP isn't that you are an introvert, intuitive, thinking and perceiving. By themselves, each of those things mean nothing. Just as my being female, 15, and from Texas, are also meaningless statements. What...

I've never really felt a contradiction with being an INTP and a girl. I like pink, I like glitter, I wear nail polish and have a feminine voice. In appearance and superficial preferences, there's nothing that contradicts my gender stereotype. However, I do not like babies, or children, and have...

Oh, God, yes. Everything must be thought and re-thought. Worded and re-worded. Read and re-read. Halfway through, I tend to get distracted and give up. Although, it isn't a constant phenomena for me. As you said, it's 'serious' things that I do this to. If I hold and idea or opinion that...

I have two very different experiences with INFJs. The first is actually quite crazy. As in, when I was eleven, she told me that she was dying of a serious disease. She even started sobbing while she was telling me. She made the whole thing up. As of late, she's gotten into the habit of telling...

Seeing as I'm a figment of your imagination, I can be from wherever you want me to be from. You pick Texas. Ew.

Oh, no, no, no. That is not my intention. And I think any number of labels have the tendency to be taken more seriously than they should. I simply enjoy taking online test. Lots and lots of them. In short, I have too much time. I share your concerns exactly. It's a little ridiculous, really.

I actually have quite the opposite reaction to public speaking. Although my experience with it is limited (single class room size, with a non-memorized script), I do quite well, especially compared to most people, seeing as stage fright is so incredibly common. I may not be entirely confident...

Ah, but you're suggesting that procrastination is an inherently ineffective method of doing things, when it really isn't. It doesn't matter if you do something as soon as possible or at the last minute. In a few years, all that will matter is that you did it at all. The only real problem that...

Have you ever considered that maybe the things you never did, were not done for a reason? Maybe your subconscious was telling you that this "stuff" was bullshit, didn't really need to be done in the first place. If it's important, you'll probably do it. Jness doesn't just involve doing...

My goal for Fall Semster 2010 (and also Spring Semester 2011): To show up to class. Do not, however, underestimate the difficulty of this task. My freshman year I was absent 60 times. And although I passed the year with a 3.571 GPA, I spent a day in court and had the Assistant Principal up...

I actually agree, it's not perfect. Regardless, knowing your Pizza Personality Type isn't perfect, either.

Now why would an INTP and ENTP be in a brawl at all? As an INTP, I quite adore ENTPs.

http://www.gigiassessment.com/ A friend of a friend got a 118 on a proffesionally administered IQ test, and a 116 on this one. So I suppose it's pretty accurate. My score: 133. Which is about the average of every other IQ test I've taken. So, I'm satisfied with its reliability.

I can't say my experience with Wellbutrin was that positive. For the majority of the time I spent on it (a year, maybe two) I can't say that I felt particularly content at all. I don't think a month went by that I did think about suicide or cutting at least once, and even when I didn't get that...

I think my particular problem is with the word "feminism". It seems to denote some sort of female superiority, just as the word "masculism" would. I think I prefer to say I am against sexism, that way, I am suggesting that I support every gender, not just this one or that one. Second, I highly...

There is some breathing, some sleeping, some eating and some school. It's not much.

That was very well put. I think that might reflect where I'm coming from.

You've have reflected my thoughts on education exactly. Like, exactly, exactly. As in the precise words and phrasing exactly. Wow.

I am actually planning on doing that. My school's speech and debate club, at least. You are absolutely correct. I should keep that in mind.

I am currently reading: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay Just in Case by Meg Rosoff The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan The last two I've already finished and am re-reading so they can be transformed into a Prose and Poetry Interpretation respectively. I don't expect to finish...

The point that I'm trying to make is that very few people are ever concerned that that choice exists. The general acquisition on knowledge isn't a common goal. We are not a society of learning. It's unfortunate, but honest. Think about the time, we, as a country spend watching TV, or movies...

I'm having a bit of an identity crisis. I'm fairly certain that I am XNTP. In every test I've ever taken I score almost perfectly for introversion. The problem is, this may be the situation for practice, rather than preference. I can't tell whether I spend more time alone because of my social...

Maybe this isn't quite subtle enough. Perhaps I should keep looking?

I would suggest that my job has a fundamental problem deeper than others mentioned here: I don't get paid. Ever. I'm subjected to mind blowing boredom, repetitive tasks, and incredibly condescending superiors. I am forced to memorize irrelevant facts of sometimes questionable accuracy, for seven...

I'm close. I have a 118 stars. I just get frustrated and quit. At first I thought I just needed practice. But no, I'm just inherently untalented with video games. I'm a disgrace to my generation.

Eh, I only ever play old games, like N64, SNES kind of old. Think Super Mario World, Tetris and Super Mario 64. I have a few Gamecube games like Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom and Luigi's Mansion. Anything I play has a kind of nostalgic meaning for me But because it wouldn't be enough to...

I suppose I'm lonely in my appreciation of pink. I don't take that color meaning stuff too seriously. Maternal and delicate my ass.

I think that before we even begin to consider giving higher education to everyone, we should assess its value. Consider a few reasons many individuals chose to enter higher education: a diploma, a better understanding of their field, or the invisible one, knowledge with no relevance to their...

HFPS-The Humanitarian. Interesting.

We should.

It's complicated. I was vegan for six months, and then lacto-ovo vegetarian for a year after that. Gave up for a bit over 6 months, and in recent weeks have returned to lacto-ovo-vegetarianism. I'm a pretty indecisive person. On another note, I still don't quite understand what makes...

Headphones. I believe that is all I have to contribute.

The only INTP I know in person is a huge Radiohead fan that supoorts animal rights. Coincidences. But anyways, welcome.

Those are valid questions. Rather than answer them right now, I am going to wait 951 days and then tell you what I think of them (assuming you mean legal adulthood). Told you I was a procrastinator.

Okay. Let's be friends.

Thank you for the welcomes. Minuend, I am from Texas. It's a little far from Norway.

I did pretty poorly 11/20. It was interesting nonetheless.

I don't believe I ever got to formally introducing myself, despite that fact that I joined months ago. What can I say? I procrastinate. I'm not experienced in forum introductions, seeing as I've never felt the urge to participate in one, so, I don't know what the appropriate amount and type of...

I forgot. Which is strange, considering that yesterday I spent the night smiling 'til my cheeks began to hurt. What about that day made me happy? Oh yes, there were great Built to Spill songs, and thinking about . . . her. But there was a more important theme. Yesterday I felt part of something...

Dissatisfied.

It just so happens to be my name. I couldn't have been bothered to come up with something a little more original.

My GPA is a 6.71. Out of a 7.0 scale. Not bad. Regardless, the school is threatening to make me repeat the year for excessive absences. If I bothered to show and got straight D's, they would have no problem. :mad: Makes no sense. *massive sigh*

I disagree quite strongly. I find it particularly annoying when a person arrogantly asserts that any one activity has more inherent educational worth than another. I would suggest that every experience is educational. I often hear the reverse of 'Television makes you stupid', which happens to...

I love that show. However I was disappointed with the second season's sudden lack of one of the show's most important elements: mystery, and was incapable of enjoying Season 3 because of my hatred for Miguel, the first and fourth season made up for it. They unfolded beautifully, and were, in...
