I'll take a stab at it. Christopher Nolan - INTP Kevin Smith - ENTP Tim Burton - INFP Martin Scorsese - INFJ David Fincher - ISTP Roman Polanski - ENFJ Woody Allen - INFP Steven Spielberg - ISFP Stanley Kubrick - INTJ Francis Ford Coppola - ISFP David Lynch - INFP Alfred Hitchcock - ISTJ George...

Type the characters from Banjo Kazooie!

I'm kind of shallow. I think and act sometimes more like an INTJ than an INTP. I like to work out and watch my body improve.

I've mostly always wanted to be either a writer, director, or comedian.

I feel like intuitives are generally going to want to be around other intuitives. For INTPs specfically, i've found that INTJs, INFPs, and ENTPs are usually the best matches. One of my best friends was an ENTJ but we argued just about every day.

i wrote this little editorial for the consideration of my college newspaper... Does being a good student make you a smart person? This is a question many people have asked but few have really examined. In an interesting episode of "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" the magician duo threw down a bunch...

I think most NTs will invariably be mistaken for being on the autistic spectrum at some point or another... generally INTx's more than the rest. I think Aspergers itself could have been made up to describe INTPs. lol (since its not exactly autism, but its barely recognized by the DSM IV as...

Any type can conceivably be found doing anything. INTPs get stereotyped as computer-math people because we're the most logical NTs; but unlike INTJs (who have Te) our systems of thought are more flexible. Since Ne is attuned to seeing the possibilities rather than the actualities, this might...

ya but the INFJ is a protector and he wants to be the catcher in the rye. INFJs have ideals too, they're just known as practical idealists (which is shown in his attempt to wipe off the "fuck you"s, an INFP would just cry about it)

INFJ?

Really good and convoluted book which I think was written by an INTP.

one death doesnt solve the overall meaningless of existence

DID YOU IMPROVE THE TOWN'S SEWER SYSTEM OR DID YOU JUST THINK ABOUT IT? GOD, I FUCKING HATE LAZY INTPS

lol. The purpose of logic isn't to find happiness. The purpose of logic is to see truth. And the truth sometimes is not happy.

When I was a teenager I went through a nihilistic phase. Everything in life seemed pointless, high school was a joke. I wasn't doing anything creative, I cut classes, I wasted a lot of time playing video games and thinking about the depressing pointlessness of my existence. Then college...

Re: Shaving is self-hatret lol

I still feel like everyone should have a group of people they do something completely mindless with (ie, going out to eat, drinking, bowling, etc.) But I admit that even when I had this it drained the living hell out of me.

Re: Where did this myth that INTP are arogant come from? Nope.

Re: Where did this myth that INTP are arogant come from? Maybe arrogant in terms of being confident in our objective truths. It's not like INTJs who stick to their own version of the truth.

Yeah I know about adjuncts. But the two classes I mentioned are taught by full-time instructors so your argument isn't applicable here. If anything I figure the full-time instructor makes the class harder, more rigid, less interesting, etc. because they're...just old, rigid, overly organized...

btw I'm starting to see why Kafka was an INTP

I've been taking philosophy classes on and off because it's always been my hidden passion. I even considered minoring or even majoring in it at some point because there hasn't been a philosophy class that I haven't enjoyed, and unlike English (my actual major) the papers are fun and you get a...

I like having friends and I often wish I had more, but my criteria is difficult for a lot of people to meet (the person usually needs to be intelligent, creative and anti-status quo in order for me to sustain a long-lasting friendship with them). And then there's the fact that I'm probably not...

INTPs actually make great actors. because they're always pretending to be somebody else anyway :p

"With a well-developed understanding of their environment and the ability to act very quickly, [INTPs] may [make] good athletes."

Huh, a carpenter and in construction. You sound just like my creative writing professor. He's a seeming contradiction: a muscular intellectual who also used to work as a carpenter and in construction. I seriously thought he was ISTP but I guess it goes to shows that you can't stereotype all...

I went through this. Smile, make eye contact, and you'll be alright.

So I've been thinking that there are a lot of tests online, but it would be nice if there was something less vague... Questions like "Do you prefer to work in a fast-paced environment?" don't really prove anything as far as the functions are concerned. There should be something more...

So, do INTPs really excel at anything at an early age? Something that an employer would value? Seems a lot of INTPs dont have any real skills. Just a knack for analyzing information. How easy has it been for any of you to even get part time jobs through the years?

Intellect can definitely be a turn-on for some people.

dont have a paycheck

yea but young women are hot

Where did you see the word 'practical' in the page you linked? Did you attach that word to fit your own conception of an ENTP? No NP is practical. NJs maybe, but even they are far less practical than sensors.

I like that the show is more focused on character development than on humor. In each new episode, you see a different side of Louie's character that you haven't seen before. Unfortunately, sometimes these sides are a little too fucking depressing (although I liked the episode where he bought a...

Who here enjoys the MGS series? What type do you think Solid Snake is? Do you think Hideo Kojima is an INTP?

obama's entp

i think if you werent depressed though you wouldnt be reading any of these authors. i turn to E. philosophy too when i feel like shit

also i still feel happier socializing on forums than in person but thats just me.

practice makes perfect. building up social skills first is scary but its rewarding when you get better (and it helps in the 'getting laid' part)

Just to elaborate, INTJs and INFJs get paranoid 'cause of dominant Ni. Ni seeks big picture principles, but since most of the insights happen in private these ideas might be seen as really paranoid, extreme, and written off as conspiracy nonsense. INTJs have the logical edge by using Te to...

lol

Dear moderator sirs, Maybe I should have made this private, but fuck it, might as well let everyone know since this board's sometimes reminiscent of a Superfriends-type collegiate of mentally unstable chums helping each other out with their mental/social issues. Basically, Artsu Tharaz is...

IQ's a dumb way to measure intelligence anyway.

If an INTJ functions logically, why wouldn't he bring his daughter onto a talk show?

Alright, time to land the missing piece: he defined his life by structure and routine. He was a relentless workaholic--almost his entire life. His bandmates even said, when they wanted to relax, Zappa would be working and working and working, to the point where he wouldn't go to sleep. When he...

You mean Se. He has been listed as ISTP before, but I don't think it's plausible. Are ISTPs known to be control freaks? They're usually live-in-the-moment kind of people, and Zappa was a definite intuitive: all you have to do is look at the video I linked, and any other video where he talks...

Eh I dunno, he seemed pretty Ni-dominant to me. Just watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbgYKrRR05o

I stick to the syllabus, do all the readings, talk in class, etc. but I have a real problem with quizzes and notes. I have a big problem with details so if I get a quiz in class I'm sure to fail it because I won't remember the exact things that happened. And I suck at notes cause I used to copy...

Well, coming from someone who's had almost the exact same problems, I'd say the only real solution is to force yourself to do things out of your comfort zone. You start small, you give yourself little mental rewards ('I can't believe I talked to this person after class who I didn't think I would...

So after months of thinking (thanks, Ti) and sorting out my mental issues, I've come to a few conclusions about myself: - In public, I came off as super serious and was utterly oblivious to this fact. - I couldn't enjoy every-day Se activities--first of all, because I didn't have Se, and...
