I am a young (20) :kodama1: aspiring, Biochemist. I am looking for thoughts, experiences (in school, professional or otherwise) to give me a better idea what to expect and look for. Below I have described my background and current direction it is OPTIONAL reading as I am interesting in all...

As an INTP it is rather easy for me to put the gravity of life's troubles out of my mind... for a moment. Simply distracting the diminutive Fe with some "petty amusement", something that I care about but is burdened by few of life's heavier or more immediate sufferings. In the meantime...

Well I wouldn't presume to make judgments without more data but I was curious as to what your familiarity with the MBTI system is? Do you know what functions an INTP has as appose to an INTJ or an ESFP?

How exactly did you determine that you're an INTP?

I don't consider myself a liberal or a conservative.... Although if I HAD to categorize myself I'm more of an economic conservative and social liberal, although I don't go extreme in either direction really. I get frustrated with political arguments in general. It's a shame you feel unable to...

On the contrary, I find your posts particularly articulate. Although I'll admit one could probably fill a book completely explaining forum MBTI based forum interactions or even INFP forums specifically. Personally, I find Fi amazing and terrifying. I am glad I am not burdened with having to...

How do you think INTPs approach individualism differently? Or do we just not care about drama are much?

I'm not familiar with "vampire the masquerade" is it a show or book or movie? Is it good?

These forums are so heavily based on the MBTI system (although some members do not have a firm grasp of the system yet). SFs and STs either have no desire to understand the system or are incapable of gasping an iNtutive sense of the system. SFs are the most common type which creates a wonderful...

This forum gives a similar but different perceptive. http://intjforum.com/showthread.php?t=97098

How do you make sure that the incoming generation and society can still provide for the needs of the dying generations? I agree that over population can be a problem but I don't know how much population control can actually handle. It's a bit of a complex balance it seems.... I think the first...

Hahaha

Hahaha Yeah sorry about the semi-passive aggressive comment about thinking of women. I've noticed your comments on other forums, very insightful. You don't post as much (in the forums I've seen) in each of your comments as many others (and even I myself) tend to do. It must be advantageous for...

Controlled Cannibalism! I have a joke with my ENTP boyfriend about that sort of thing. :)

At that point a governments main purpose would be to organize and categorize the wealth of information and resources into areas where they can produce the maximum benefit for the maximum amount of people... Wouldn't you say? Gathering books into libraries and things like that?

Shallow article... Here is the summary. Develop your Ti by spending time thinking in introversion.... http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/471/542/069.jpg

Wonderful! Would you like to help me create my Utopian society? At the heart will be a library and the surrounding towns will be an even distribution of all 16 types operating within their optimum functions. It will be a self-sustaining society and center of research and development. We will...

Hahaha no worries, Thanks. I have similar thoughts on the matter. Procrastination is a big one. I've become lazy when talking to people because I realize they don't listen to my similarly long winded explanations of things. It's a bit frustrating.

What does "Before the Flood" mean?

I'm sorry to say this on the INTP forum but INTPs are not perfect. Clearly. So what are some of your thoughts about INTP flaws? What are some bad habits INTPs fall prey to? What are some typical flaws INTPs tend to share? What causes these habits or flaws (and I really mean flaws not just...

I've actually been thinking about something very similar lately! Haha I don't know enough about 3D printers to know for sure how any of my ideas would work.... I was trying to figure out how create projectiles for some catapult or slingshot type device... Something a bit more primitive but...

Thanks for realizing I meant to type "imagine" not image. Haha This actually came up as an argument for the existence of God. Basically saying that we couldn't possibly have thought up "god" on our own and that he must exist simply because the idea of the existence of a/many deity/deities is a...

Chemistry! Wonderful! Such a beautiful system to think about. Unfortunately I know very very little about Chemistry on a whole.

It really depends for me... Sometimes I do need to be around people to get out of my head but I usually prefer to be alone when I'm working through things.

You're an INTP right? Do you think having a inferior Fe function influences how deeply you feel about things? Does studying ever help you relax?

Thank you for doing your part to keep the thread live. :borg0:

In that case I probably think about boys less because I have one now. (have implies ownership which sounds bad... we have each-other really) I guess I did think about men much more before then and now that we're together it's like he's a "given" in my universe. Like the law of gravity or knowing...

I almost wish that wasn't so true.

I think a trained dog would receive a harsher punishment for going against something that it's been trained to do or not do but they're also less likely to actually do those things if they're trained not to. I'm not sure I quite grasped the idea behind the question. That's a good question. I...

I dislike the concept of intelligence tests in general. If I was to take an intelligence test that labeled me as something below average I would probably stop trying, fall into a pathetic spiral of self pity and subjugate myself to a degrading menial labor job. I would then convince myself that...

I like the ideas so far... I also really like how you described the sensitivity of the matter. I am however a little concerned about a kind of system that would allow for a range of accountability. It would be far to easy, from that point, to justify valuing some humans over others. Then again...

I am a little bit surprised at these replies. I guess I can forget about sarcasm sometimes. I am surprised how many posts were "thinking about women" related. I don't think about men all that much...

Right now I am... 1. processing all the benefits, intricacies and variations in the MBTI personality profiles... 2. Typing several of my classmates 3. Trying so solve the seeming problem with nonexistence. Can Humans really image something that truly does not exist? Cold doesn't really exist...

Sorry for posting twice but It just occurred to me that you might be referring to the general functions of Si not just the way the effect INTPs. In that case I say it all depends on how dominant the Si is and how well developed it is in the person. Dominate S personalities tend to be the...

In my limited experience (and with the help of an INTJ) I have come to see the INTPs Si function as our memory function. Think about it for a minute, visualize how you remember things and you may or may not realize what I'm talking about. It might also help to ask other personality types to...

When I experience... my innate darkness it's usually characterized by a deep harbored bitterness toward the world and apathy toward anything I may have been involved in previously. Life is a pain in the ass but ultimately far to predictably systematic in my opinion. So when something happens to...

INTP's Fi? Are you referring the shadow functions? INTPs have Fe.

- You consider the comment "you have a very well developed Fe" to be mildly insulting, probably because you wish you didn't have it in the first place. - You are fascinated and/or envious of the INTJs Ni and may or may not have tried to force an artificial Ni to experiment with what it would...

My first Thread! Instead of introducing myself with an emotional back-story and let you infer my basis for my interactions on this Forum, I will give you the basis for my interactions on this Forum and you can infer any back-story you with (or ask me yourself). I tend to adhere to the...

I was introduced to type forums and the beauty of the Jung system by an INTJ. I have an incredible respect for the INTJs cognitive abilities. I am particularly envious of your primary Ni (Introverted Intuition). Such a wealth of imagination and a unique perspective of life! I also enjoy the...

INTPs are natural "personality Chameleons". With practice an INTP could almost perfectly mirror the qualities (and downfalls) of virtually every personality type. However, most INTPs are in general uninterested in the frivolousness of typical human interactions. For this reason, INTPs are more...
