if you just lie in bed and keep perfectly still I find the body just starts to numb itself which helps. keeping perfectly still until this effect kicks in is the hard part, especially if it's too hot or you've got an itch or something else. Moving around/fidgeting seems to keep my mind active...

Interesting, I find forums to be like books, without the nagging feeling of being obliged to complete it. I've been preferring reddit over this forum for the variety, in quantity and quality. There is more shit you need to dig through though.

what's a fruit roll-up?

Probably our wit. Wit is quite easy to understand. It's like a measure of mental competence, whether through the ability to adapt or simply having more knowledge. Will is a vaguer concept and one that I'm not sure I fully understand. I've head it being used a lot; To have more will means having...

ENTP first try INTP when I read the first descriptions more carefully. I found the first option for Ti a bit pretentious for me, perhaps I'm starting to see the limitations of how far I can take my Ti and trying to distance myself from it. Although my Ne isn't as strong as the first questions...

Whatever mediocre achievements I've made I've done so by engrossing myself/being obsessed with what it is I am trying to do. It's a lot easier to continue reading a book once you're already hooked on the plot. The same thing applies to making art or any other activity. Once I have a problem at...

I like how they ended it, different from your typical superhero movie.

They're not owned by Google anymore, Softbank bought them. Apparently spot mini will be available to buy in 2019. link

You observe them over a long period of time and make a judgement based on that. Being scared to be wrong is just silly; Especially if you have specific examples to back up you up, i.e. their coping mechanisms, and know the general approach they take to new problems. You can then try to use your...

If all humans were suddenly changed to the size of ants, lets say in 1700 after the steam engine was invented, would we have come to become as "dominant" a species on Earth as we are now? if not would we have been able to in the further future? The miniaturisation grants no special feats than...

Just came back from watching the mummy at the cinema and man that movie was so boring. Every scene was really predictable and made my eyes roll. Visually it was trying to be horror/jump scare sort of thing but completely failed cause their sound effects were just explosions and bangs for...

Ethics is borne out of Logic. I think it's also the same case with Intuition. Both of these emulate logic but do so at a very rapid pace using dirty hacks instead of meticulous reasoning. These dirty hacks are why our first thoughts and ideas about something new can be contradictory to what we...

I think it feels icky because due to it's natures people are either going to be offended or flattered and since most people would rather not act like dicks the thread is naturally going to be circle-jerky.

Don't take tests rather read about the functions, try to understand them and see which one you can identify as being most significant to you. Stop thinking of gaming the tests by instead thinking of past experiences that are relevant and may be used as indicators to how you should answer the...

It was pretty good, although the politics and drama is the primary focus and the sci-fi tech is more so simply the setting where the events play out.

no my visualisation abilities aren't and never were developed well enough to be able to overlay an imaginary image onto the real world

Based on the socionics functional stack I've self typed myself as an INTj, which shares the functions with MBTI INTP. However apart from the descriptions of the functions themselves, I've found that other descriptions of the INTj aren't very accurate. Going by behavioural descriptions I fall...

I got typed INFP, outliers from usual INTP score being high 40ish in using Fi and low 20ish using Te.

Life is a lot more complex but also simpler now then it was then. The excess of information has made it so that people don't have to rely on some skills such as memorisation, but they're still able to do so much more by delegating these skills to external tools, but yes we do end up not...

Pretty much anyone can smile genuinely but being able to smile at you bidding seems harder. I always seem to just make a flat smile whenever I try to smile. I "feel" like I'm putting on an okeyish smile and it "feels" right ( i.e. muscles not to stressed) but my smile is flat. Flat smiles look...

I don't particularly find this hierarchy very useful. "This hierarchy is just like MBTI so why the differing attitude towards it?" you might think. I give MBTI some credence because it can be somewhat useful, especially for people who self identify as being socially oblivious and not...

It's understandable that what is agreed upon generally and in the eyes of the law is that "the end doesn't justify the means" for a variety of reasons, a critical one being that in many cases the "end" is not guaranteed and even if it is achieved it may not be enough or all that we thought it...

I don't like seeing the idea of an a.i. being let loose downplayed, it has the effect of breaking my suspension of disbelief. An a.i. being let loose makes me immediately think of the eradication of all humans. After that thought any actions that aren't cautious enough when dealing with the a.i...

West world was amazing. Everything I could ever want in a realistic sci-fi setting. I find that when you get into "high sci-fi" (i.e. like high fantasy) it becomes a lot harder to suspend disbelief and fully immerse into the story, it's also harder to relate to the story as the setting gets...

I do my own thing till sleep hit me like a train. Being bored laying in bed trying to sleep is no fun, so when I'm ready to sleep I usually just use my phone in bed till I can fall asleep instantly.

What if after 20 minutes of meeting someone a sociopath want to invite them to their house?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gdpyzwOOYY I listened to this podcast though only as something in the background and without painstakingly trying to make sense of it, which is probably needed because they talk in very abstract and obscure terms. Jordan B. Peterson is questioned on and...

What personality type do you associate with funky ties?

Even on facebook long term relationships with people you don't ever really see in your daily life is really hard to maintain. The conversations don't feel real. It's literally just updating each other about your lives, nice to think about for a while but none of it really matters to you and...

You from hong kong? do ads need to state a disclaimer like this "Do not get addicted to gambling" over there?

Quite a few people here don't act that smart or haughty though and of coarse some are actually just pretty damned smart. Might somewhat be because this is a forum and they can get away with it, i.e. you are less likely to see such attitude in universities amongst professors. This makes me...

Depends on the material, the situation I'm in and my mood. I can't read anything I find boring, I find that I just start wishing it were over instead of paying attention. If I'm in bed and it cozy and I feel very comfortable I'll probably fall asleep, it's wont be the reading making me sleep...

http://www.careerplanner.com/MB2/TypeInPopulation.cfm This says that SF types alone make up 42% of the population. All four SF types make it in the top 6 most common type list. SJ make up another 44% of the population, that intersects with the above SF group. NTs make up around 10.5%...

Would you say you are the wrong target audience for tie ads? you wear ties a lot? you into fashion or even just general clothing? Do you think this might be related to your work history or any background information like that? Do you think the ad is suited for you or not? would you give the...

Preferring certain patterns of thought over others is one way thinkers can be subjective. In the end people's raw experience of life probably influences them the most. Other then that I think feelers, more easily, feel the feelings of other feelers while thinkers think the thoughts of other...

your avatar is... unsettlingly graphic, it seems to offend me at a very deep and primal level :/

I've noticed, in quite a lot of places, shit that talks about or hints to how facebook knows a lot/everything, depending on how hyperbolic they are being, about you. I remain somewhat sceptical about these claims. Of coarse facebook has a lot of information about their users but not...

Sounds unIntpish but I'm sure there are people out there who'd love such a lifestyle and it'd make them feel complete rather than slowly going to pieces. Although if the premise is that you're only talking to intps, this being intpforum, then I guess authenticity is somewhat valid. From the...

The MBTI is about statistics and deals with correlations so it's taken out of context when you use it on individuals and look for causal relationships. It is the case that not all of the bible is utter crap i.e. the golden rule, likewise the MBTI has many aspects which are useful. A lot of the...

Plz give me data for hacking reasons https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7M8WPPS Does this count as spam? I hope not. I want data to play around with, how will I play around with it? I have no idea, but that part of the thought process comes after...

Well since you asked, here it is https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7M8WPPS (not the data, but the survey which we can hopefully collect the data through) I left the photographs out cause they are icky. Now comes the annoying part where the link must be spammed all over the place.

I'm looking for any websites that take a machine learning approach to MBTI assessment or any other such topics related to MBTI. As far as I understand it assessments currently are made with the cognitive functions and their interplay, as told by the theory, in mind. Two sites I've found...

Looks to me like you hate everyone. Probably not a racist, unsure if any better than one though. That site seems to suggest lots of intps are actually mistyped infps based on the data from previous polls. I got infp too in fact.

I had a discussion about the topic with my siblings and I argued for: 1) High intelligence and specialization in one area is likely to bleed and seem into other areas of the individual's life. The general ideas and skills picked up from their area of expertise allow/aid them to become a more...

Cause it makes people want to make posts like "That booty tho".

The reason Intp's value Ne so much so that it routinely becomes distracting, plaguing their minds with self doubt, is because above all else intps are concerned with being right. Even if we are wrong we still want to be able to say that we weren't completely wrong, that we knew or felt all...

I express positive feeling quite openly with friends. I actively look to avoid negative emotions nowadays, I've leant quite well by now that it's so much more trouble to let such negative emotions go haywire and then try to pick yourself back up than to keep said emotions in check from the...

The "ROW" and "BOT" on your avatar look like nipples, is this intended? is it sfw?

English was the only one I was worried about failing in secondary education so went with good at maths and science, when in reality I am/was great at math and avarage at science and english. I always found that science was too cluttered and grounded in reality for my liking, just too many...

That's a genuine issue for UBI right now. It would be expensive and for some it may not be as beneficial as with the current system. UBI is meant to be only for making living possible so it's fine if the quality of life on it alone is low, though as I say the disabled, elderly, sick... would...
