It seems like we have different tastes. I can respect that. I don't see it as a show that has a punchline time limit, like a stand-up act would require. You should give it a chance. Over time, over 90% of critics have come to regard it as worth watching...

I'm not sure I understand the phenomenon. The only two instances I can think of where people repeat your words is when they're buying themselves time to think or when they do it in a mocking tone. And I don't think I've heard this kind of mocking since grade school.

I don't think Jim can be defined, either because he is an idealized character, an unrealistic character, or an unusually well-rounded character. He's adept both rationally and emotionally. He's an introvert's extrovert. He's both creative and dutiful. If I had to pin it down, I would say...

Short on invention? The show in unprecedented on almost every level. It is written, directed, edited, and starred in by one person. It has no defined narrative structure. It features people that don't look or talk like California actor/actresses. It's a comedy with a soundtrack for every...

I would suggest not worrying about outcomes. Instead of focusing on the sharing of your final product, think about the joy and loss of consciousness associated with states of deep focus. Even if you spend three hours sketching meaningless doodles with pen and paper, you can still derive the...

The identity pages seem to be nothing more than a list of descriptors that happen to be true for a moderate fraction of INTPs. Any could easily be made false by societal norms, will power, or life experiences. I like the idea of the function types though. When I was younger, I didn't...

I would debate paying actual money for this. Then I would debate pirating it. Then I would debate whether the decay of IP enforcement has been counteracted by the increased ease of transmission and decreased capital requirements. Then I would grab a snack.

It seems like many people I thought may be INTP turned out more INFP when I looked closer. I think it might have something to do with writers and actors shifting obviously T people to the F side. I've yet to meet all these INFP banking programmers Hollywood has created. I think the two...

This is one of my top three favorite shows of all time, along with the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons and Arrested Development. It's returning for a 3rd season tonight. Anyone else love it? Louie, ENTP -- here is some of his stand-up. Though the show is much more subdued and artistic...

You are right, I didn't clarify that I meant "as a dominant or auxiliary function", which it is for all -S-J types. As a 3rd or 4th function, like with us, it seems to manifest itself differently, or be overridden by intuition.

I'm still new to the framework, but here's my understanding. If you are willing to pin Fry as Ne, then you have to decide whether his other 1st or 2nd function is Fi or Ti. One would expect an Fi to use emotional or moral arguments. But Fry always seems to come from a place of logic. My...

He is obviously speaking in Ne, bouncing constantly around various big-picture, abstract models of people and the world. He loves intellectual reading, so is probably Ti. He's on the abstract side of the spectrum over the practical, and he's on the logical side over the personal. He's...
