I'll be headed off to university next year. Still don't know what I'm going to study. I'm thinking either classics or Spanish or history of some sort. I have a few full rides to choose from, so my choice of major will determine where I go.

I barely talked until I was about four. My parents were starting to get a little worried, but I didn't seem to have any other signs of anything wrong, so they didn't get too worried. When I was four, though, I apparently started talking and didn't shut up for two years. My sister, an ISTJ...

My mental voice is more or less my own voice, always talking to someone else. Sometimes I carry on a conversation with someone I know without actually manifesting their responses. Other times it's like I'm demonstrating my actions to someone, explaining them. When I notice myself explaining my...

My system of choice just switched to Chrome OS. No, seriously. I applied to the pilot program three or four days ago, and yesterday I received a notebook in the mail. It's awesome. I formerly spent about half my time on Windows 7 and half on Ubuntu 10.04.

I have been wondering lately about the possibility of having ADHD. I've always been bored to death in school and my mind perpetually wanders. I'm severely absentminded and forget things at the drop of a hat. Lately my procrastination has become a severe detriment to my grades and my overall...

So have you considered any schools of thought other than Cyrenaicism?

I had an Egg McMuffin replica with fake orange juice. Some of the cheese was burnt and inedible. The orange juice was more acidic than could possible be healthy. But describing things in text is far easier than describing them verbally.

I don't quite understand the point of this thread; this phenomenon has been observed by every generation for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks lamented the decadence of the younger generation, the Renaissance adults scoffed at the time-wasting of their children, the industrial...

I've always had this problem as well. When at a piano an organ lesson my teacher would often ask me to explain what the "character" of the piece was, or what "emotions" it conveyed. I knew exactly what the answer was to me, but I couldn't explain it. Same situation in summarizing stories read...

...you can't remember whether the conversation you had with someone actually happened or was imagined.

The only family members I have that have died are both grandparents on my father's side, but I haven't felt sad about that, most likely because they more or less "had it coming" for an extended period. Imagining the death of either parent only makes me wonder what life will be like without...

This isn't precisely related to the discussion of hand, but I've noticed that most atheists are more dickish, hateful, and obstinate than members of [insert disliked religion here]. Fundamentalist Christians are annoying, yes, but not as much (in my experience) as "fundamentalist" atheists...

What is your name? SQ_Minion. Where are you from? United States. How old are you? Sixteen. What's your gender? Male. How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? I can't quite remember. Possibly through some Facebook quiz, possibly through my sister. How did you find out...

My program: A game of Humans vs. Zombies. The ten dollars would be spent on simple advertising (posters/flyers). Any number of students could be involved. Skills used/learned: physical fitness, military strategy, vigilance, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat, teamwork.

I don't pace. My deep thinking takes the physiology of staring into space.

Popular Science and Popular Mechanics are good magazines, though I let my subscription to the latter lapse. Smithsonian and National Geographic are obviously excellent choices as well. So is Science, as Melllvar suggested. A friend of mine is one of their news editors.

I hate doing that. I'll set out something on the kitchen table or in front of the door so it's impossible for me to forget it--and I perpetually forget it.

Jeans, t-shirt, black hooded sweatshirt, Converse high-tops.

I suppose I just wanted a general discussion of absentmindedness. I'm not sure where I'm going with the topic.

An apparently common eponym of the standard INTP is the "absent-minded professor". Since we are usually deep in thought about one thing or another (and often both), we tend to be unobservant and forgetful. For instance, Einstein, who has been labeled by some as an INTP, would often forget to...

This. "Ivy League" is like normal university but five times as expensive. You get jack squat for your extra money. Besides, why would you really want to go to college? You might get a "higher-paying job", but you'll spend your entire life paying off your student debt. And money does nothing to...

Bundy doesn't seem that bad to me, as far as serial rapists and murderers go. I can understand him pretty easily. There are much crazier serial killers out there. I would vote for John Wayne Gacy.

This phenomenon is why I have always been bad in literary analysis, as it's taught in the United States. You have to make someone else understand how you came to your conclusion, but the process and the various factors working in your mind are too complex to put on paper. Thus, you sound like an...

I was going to wear orange to show my support for all us straight people who are constantly accused of being homophobic assholes, but then I remembered that I don't give a damn.

There is. If she gets pregnant, you pass.

You seem to me schizotypal.

OH LOL, HERO, YOU ARE SO CLEVER--YOU POSTED AN INTERNET JOKE THAT SOME OF US MAY NOT HAVE HEARD BEFORE WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION, THUS INTENTIONALLY CAUSING A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING! HA HA HA! I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?

That's the spirit!

In the impossible hypothetical situation that I have kids, I wouldn't remotely care whether they cried at my death. I don't foresee myself crying at either of my parents' funerals, so why would I expect something different from my children?

Thoreau. Not "Thorough".

My thoughts on nature are roughly the same as Emerson's.

I too have dark under-eye circles, but much of the human population does. My appearance in general is often classified as "stoner", though I don't smoke weed. Grubby Converse high-tops, jeans, black hoodie, a rat's nest of hair, the whole works.

I find it rather paradoxical--the observation that many INTPs have low latent inhibition in contrast with the characteristic that many INTPs have extremely cluttered bedrooms/desks and simply block the clutter out, barely realizing it's there. These two habits seem rather at odds with each other...

It's the same avatar as I use on another forum. Originally, I think I had just finished watching Spirited Away and didn't have any better ideas for an avatar.

1. According to her signature, she is indeed a hooloovoo. 2. "Hoopy" is a noun.

This forum's name is "introit", which is a section from the beginning of the Catholic Mass (specifically in the extraordinary form of the Latin Rite). So the title of this thread is the opening prayers of the Mass: "I will go unto the altar of God, to God who giveth joy to my youth."

Just take both, neither is that difficult or time-consuming. The most recent time I took the ACT I got a 34, and that was without prior preparation--or even a good night's sleep. If you're going to school on one of the coasts, you'll need the SAT, but the ACT's good to have in case you end up in...

We're all mad here. I shall consider not eating you.

*scoffs at comment claiming a lack of comment*

It's a personal reference. *insert sarcastic retort*

Dormouse: I would expect nothing less from a hyperintelligent shade of blue such as yourself. Cavallier: Those are admirable extrapolations of my mysterious abbreviation. Not accurate, but admirable. Mr. Gopher: If I am accurately extracting your meaning from your entanglement of...

1. How have you managed to deal with our predisposition to procrastinate? I haven't managed to deal. I've relied solely on intelligence and luck to get me through school, much to my parent's dismay (just the one; my father doesn't give a crap about my grades). 2. What is your IQ? I've...

I hereby offer humble salutations to the fine residents of INTP Forum. My name, as should be apparent, is SQ_Minion, and I hail from the Internet. I am an INTP. My reason for joining this forum: boredom and mild curiosity. I've only found two forums in my entire Internet career that have held my...
