I (thankfully) never fell into the INTP failure/no motivation trap. I have even been called "conscientious" by a few people, a label that I reject. Instead, I credit it to my neuroticism, a trait MBTI does not account for. I do not have a conscientious motivation to do a lot of things, but I...

For a comedian, here's a NTP dividing difference: INTPs have very funny minds but struggle to deliver jokes; ENTPs are much better with delivery. Other difference: ENTPs get the girls.

Several years ago I thought that the anti-political correctness movement was just a right-wing fad that would go away soon (and, in addition, that PC itself was insignificant). That turned out wrong...

I've read a couple anecdotal accounts of INTPs who are almost obsessed with ENFJs. I think I have a similar interest in ENTJs. I don't know very many of them and I have never known a female ENTJ, but when I do know one I end up developing a deep, one-sided loyalty to the person. And I very...

An avatar that makes me cringe-laugh? You'll do fine here! Welcome to the forums. Any specific plans for the proposed video games?

Marked "some".

I don't believe I've seen you before. Moar pony members? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csO8_NCaYFI

Just because this is an MBTI forum and MBTI is based on some of Jung's ideas doesn't mean that we have to buy Jung's batshit crazy idea that everyone is part of a hive mind controlled by...nobody. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_descent . That accounts for a lot of evidence...

Meh, I'd call that more existentialism, but at some point the line between it and nihilism becomes blurred. ___ As for advice to the OP: I'd encourage you to start reading the French existentialist works, although perhaps I give that advice far too often :) You're approaching the...

Does it really imply that? I always thought of the concept of "legacy" as just an attempt to avoid the conditions set at the top of your post by giving the subject a meaning to life (and death). The objective validity of legacy a solution matters little; even one's memory is not eternal, after...

Actually, you can call yourself a genius if you simply get a score of 145+ on the Stanford-Binet. Or maybe you have to also send an application to the USGD (United States Genius Department).

Yes, in a way you're right. But you shouldn't think that our concerns over emotional matters due to a lack of physical suffering is a bad thing. When survival is at stake, the mind doesn't care much about emotional problems. It's called the "Hierarchy of Needs"...

On an airplane flight I once got a bag of peanuts that was labelled "WARNING: Produced in a facility that packages nuts." Ya don't say.

INTPs and ENTPs dominate the internet. The ENTP forum imploded a while ago and the refugees came here. The internet is too dark a place for most SFs.

Because you have nothing better to do with your time. Why have great questions of "Why?" gone unsolved for over 2000 years?

Since this thread has turned into an OP-bash, I've decided to make things interesting by defending the OP despite my distaste for his opinions. The OP demonstrates an interesting part of slave morality. Walfin is full of contempt for masters, but imagine what would happen if this hate was...

I'm not going to make a comment on Pod'Lair's effectiveness in anayzling personality, its practicality, the evidence behind it, or the lack thereof. But did the Pod'Lair people just have to pick words that sound like they would be the language of the blue aliens in Avatar? They're trying to...

That moment when you read the bumper's post and realize why you didn't know many of the posters above.

Thoth. Meh, he's cool enough. Eris should've been an option if the test taker gave completely contradictory answers.

Five internets to you for posting an image from Caprichos! A wonderful addition for the subject of horror. Here are a few of what I consider to be the most horrifying. "Here comes the bogeyman" "Hunting for teeth" "They are hot" "And still they don't go!" "He broke the pitcher"...

"Arab sympathies"? How are Chechen jihadists "Arab sympathizers? On other forums I was attacked for my claim that, based on the attack target and what type of bomb appeared to be used, Boston was bombed by grassroots jihadists inspired by al-Qaeda. Now it turns out I was right... This...

But you're assuming that not only is MBTI correct, but that all personality can be explained by the four dichotomies. No, you can't say you're an XXXX. More like an X...XX, with n "X"s (for values of n greater than or equal to 0).

The cloud/grass picture...well...unnerved me a bit. It may have been in part the seemingly concave ground, but those clouds seemed menacing. The picture just felt disturbing. Or maybe just strongly intriguing. So what do I think of it? It confused me.

Don't worry, I wasn't remotely offended. I just find it nice that there's a place on the internet that's intelligent yet not required to be politically correct. (For further proof, observe my signature.)

Sigged. I remember reading that, during the French Revolution, someone determined that guillotined heads remain alive for ~5-8 seconds. So King Louis actually got to see the crowd celebrating his death as his head was lifted to the crowd...

Voila! My new signature.

Publicly using the term "retarded" in 2013 without fear of being stoned by the PC crowd? Wow, you really must be. But so are most INTPs, including myself, so that's not too bad. Oddly enough, the forum shows that interactions between socially awkward people can actually be perfectly...

You're a teacher? Hopefully you teach the latter years of high school; teaching earlier years of school is hell for most INTPs. I'm glad to see someone resisting the omnipresent ENTJ pressure. You won't find any of that here. Welcome to the forums.

Aries, so there's little to no correlation. Unless somehow date of conception reflects on the health or socioeconomic status of the parents...

(2/2) As for Youtube: Pony Music Videos Ponified Trailers Music. I can give specific recommendations if you want a certain genre/style. The most popular fan parody series And if you want merch http://www.welovefine.com/41-my-little-pony...

Cut into two parts due to a length limit on this forum. (1/2) Well...the good news is that you found it now. The Bronydom is one of the largest and most influential subcultures on the internet. Most estimates put the total number of Bronies worldwide at over 3-4 million. Here's a taste...

You say the word "Bronies" as if you've never heard it before. You aren't one of those isolated Bronies unacquainted with the ways of the internet who doesn't know about the internet fandom, right? What draws me to the show? The fact that the writers created one of the few fantasy world...

Many of my friends are ENTP, but I am also (strangely?) drawn towards ENTJs. They're rather magnetic figures I always find myself quite interested in. I don't mind their arrogance (to an extent I even like it); when I have grown to dislike an ENTJ, it was because (s)he could not listen to...

I couldn't help but notice that, none the less, you claim to be an ENFP on your profile. I also couldn't help but notice that your rather vocal crusade against MBTI on an MBTI forum is almost stereotypically ENFP. What personality tests are real, in your opinion?

I've always wanted to make an angry mob of experts on crowd psychology. They'd all try to manipulate each other while knowing exactly how others are trying to manipulate them. That would be what an NT nation would look like; everyone trying to outplay each other only to find that everyone...

Nice to see you too. I know of three other Bronies beside us: Animekitty, higs, and nil.

Oh yes. I believe that many ENTJs have relationship problems related to wanting sex to be carefully scheduled in advance.

Napoleon is always thought to be ENTJ.

Oh yes, don't worry! Minimalism is most certainly good. Don't worry! Minimalism is very good. Yes. Minimalism is good. Ye. Minimalism good. Yeminigud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix7vrluEm4E Welcome to the forum. Hopefully you'll figure out your personality type soon. Out of curiosity, how did you find this forum? There are plenty more like it (INTP Central, Typology Central, INTJ Forums, etc). Ooooh, you're just daring us, aren't...

E Se N? EXTJ Fi EXTX Fi T Fi J XNTJ N, also a bit of I (although this could be explained through other variables). NT J, especially NTJ. S or J. Since you seem to be capable of abstract thinking, but you just think that it's useless, I'd say J. Se Ni...

My earliest memories are hazy. I have two in particular, probably from when I was around 4. In one, I was was standing in line in a shopping mall. I looked around and saw a man in his 30s standing about 20 feet away. He smiled at me. Aaand that's it. The second was from my 4th or 5th...

There are certainly Humanities INTPs, but is it conceivable to have a social science INTP? Since I would think that I'm one... While I don't study mathematics, computer science, or formal logic, I do like all of them to an extent. So, as to the OP's question..."Do all ESFJs want to raise a...

"Storm Front"? Wait, did they name themselves after the equally racist, nationalist, anti-government guys from Skyrim?

But we can still discuss the merits of virtuously starving to death in Anatartica as well as its costs.

Seems like you just detest antipositivism. While MBTI cannot predict everything (neither can empiricism, I should add), it offers a few odd insights. Many of the Jungian functions do seem like BS at times, especially when you look at things like Ti versus Te (or Ni versus Ne). The only reason...

Origin: Outcome:

I put in an assortment of essays of varying academic-ness. I got Wallace once, Poe once, and Lovecraft five times. I've heard Lovcecraft described as either INTP or INTJ, so that makes sense. As for the gender thing: A blog-style piece on an academic subject: Female Score: 369 Male Score...

30/32 Although I only got the Catholic Mass one correct because I took this test two years ago and missed it then. I missed Maimonides and the Great Awakening one.

I know all of us INTPs occasionally feel out of place in (American) society, but could that be because our culture today is, in a way, ESFJ? E- Introversion is viewed as some strange disorder that a person should get out of. People are expected to very social and externally-focused. S-...
