USA, Thanks for the article:)

Must high school students can't solve ordinary algebraic word problems without struggling, but can simplify expressions ad infinitum. This is the problem I'm trying to address

I'm writing a research paper on the above topic, does anyone know of any good articles relating to it? Here is a good essay criticizing the mathematical education system: http://www.maa.org/devlin/lockhartslament.pdf My main problem is the way they teach and the grading system. Teachers are...

What level of math do you already know/want to start from?

I think those videos could've been done better. They felt rushed to me. I was unusually fidgety and nervous in those videos, I do not know why. Maybe it's just because I had never done anything like that before or not comfortable with recording myself/thoughts/how I act. I'm usually very...

Douglas Adams? Dirk Gently from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency seems to be an INTP character

10/10

Just finished this book What forces or circumstances make one of the characters act in a certain way? (Consider the setting, the conflict, other characters, etc.) How is suspense built in the story? and Does the main character have a confidant, someone he or she relies on? How...

When my cousin(Died at like 23) died I was about 11 years old. He was very close to me, like a brother. I remember everyone crying, my dad, unlce, mother, everyone. I didn't though. My mom thought I was trying to be tough, and said It was ok to cry. I attempted to cry, but I couldn't. I don't...

I used to pretend I was using the force on my english teacher. pushing her through walls, lightning and the works.

I might have. I am not sure, perhaps I haven't noticed it. I will try and be more conscious about it.

Basically my line of thinking. I avoid "trends" Dammit Archie. You make it hard for me to doubt my type.

Yes, all the time. When I was younger(~12), I wanted to buy 18+ videogames, but my parents obviously denied me them because I was a child. But, that wasn't going to stop me. I knew that the stores wouldn't sell it to me, that was illegal. And I really hate to borrow things from friends. So I...

Basically describes me. I also hate it when people say "Feel the x" Dancing is more complicated than integral calculus.

I truly love this series. The story makes me emotional. Hideo seems more of a J-type. But he is an excellent story teller

Just videos of myself? What do I talk about?

I'm trying to confirm my type(again) and it's becoming rather redundant and frustrating. When I read the profile of the INFJ it reminds of how I was when I was younger (ages 3-12, albeit some of the traits from the INTP profile also fit..). I know many of you mention to study the functions, but...

I am sure this is relevant to most of you. http://artofmanliness.com/2012/08/22/how-to-make-small-talk/ Though how many ever of these I read, I generally avoid these sort of talks. Edit:I forgot proper capitalization of my title. It's really bothering me

Douglas Adams. My favourite author too. here's my writing: My facebook "about me" page Hi my name is SHrub. I live in the Orion Nebula. I'm here on an extended holiday, but was mistakenly thought to be a High School Student and was treated as such. Currently, I'm being held here against my own...

Every test I have taken always yields INTP, maybe I have figured out the test or something As a child I think I was more of an INFJ but had some INTP traits, but as I get older, I relate more to INTP

Re: Star Wara error It would still take a fairly long time for them to accelerate.

Yes, I know it's Star Wars but... If the TIE in TIE fighter stands for Twin Ion Engine then wouldn't it take four years for the TIE fighter to reach 100 kph? Couldn't help it:D

Found out about this game a few months ago, best $10 ever!

The Weight Watcher: He fights obesity. His enemies are Coca cola, Pepsi co. and the state of Mississippi

When I was younger(5-12), I did have a superiority complex, but as I get older, i am slowly moving to a neutral position. Every person has an experience and knowledge specific to them, it would be wrong to judge them on intelligence.

Great site, It's funny the site is natively russian:D

I have trouble with names as well (Though I remember faces quiet well) Here's a trick: If you know someone but forgot their name, just ask "What was your name again?" try to sound sincere. If they look offended, follow u with "No, I meant your last name" Thus gaining both names and you don't...

For something I care about, I do spend an unnecessary amount of time editing and rewriting what I want to post. Once my sister was watching me update a post and she said "...Wow you spend alot of time thinking about these.." (I just did it on this post)

Welcome, Here is your complementary slinky. As custom, We are all expecting a detailed report on the physics and aesthetics of this magical coiled spring we have just handed to you. Good Luck

-When you spend more time figuring out a way to complete your assignments without actually doing the assignment (I spent 3 days trying to crack the algorithms of an online review test I was required to take, that test would have only taken me two hours, but it was worth it. and review, eww...

I was trying to get that to work today! I have an Atom netbook which I connected to an external monitor and it refuses to recognize my native res. I used xrandr to add a new line and set the mode to my native res, but it underscans (parallel black bars along the sides), Have you made any...

Just remind yourself that there are infinite possibilities in the universe. And so, your thoughts are on an infinite level. Anything is possible within your mind. And Daydream alot, about anything

So it is normal to be doubtful at this stage in life? Interesting. Do you feel (bad word, I know) that the world seems to be build around ESJs? All these routines and such seem to cater to them. Are they the dominant/majority of the population? And what exactly is "Ne"? Also, What do you mean...

I am very sorry. I am just very anxious for some insight. As if my whole being has been destabilized.

Recently, I have been doing very poorly in school, Freshmen year. My reason is that I am really starting to get fed up with the routines, the administration, lack of freedom, constant checks, and redundancy etc. My Father thinks that this is a cry for attention and he has given me a lecture...

I think that Data more suits the role of INTP,

What exactly is an "Ne" moment (Or rather what does extroverted intuition mean?) Sorry, Just found out all this shit. Quite mind-blowing how much the INTP description matches my persona..

I always take apart pens instinctively in school. Once I took apart my mother's vaccuum so I could build a robotic one out of legos.. It didn't work out and the vaccuum parts were all over the house, and after yelling at me for a week to put it back together, I did it while she was holding...

I keep the same tone of voice when I tell jokes. People have trouble figuring out what's the punchline and laugh inappropriately. I also like immature jokes: What's the best part about twenty-four year olds? There's twenty of them

Are you regarded as a humourous person? People say I have a "Dry Humour" (I think it means witty/satire, though I'm not sure) I'm wondering whether that's an INTP thing due to the analytical trait.

Have you read hitchhikers guide? Good sci fi book with a lot of funny paradoxicals. Gave me a headache, and quite a few laughs

Lots of books, what do you read? Haven't read in a while, can't find anything good, finished my physics book last week :(
