Agreed!

I'm very unique!!!! Just like everyone else.

Thank you! Do you know of anyone who has done studies or broken this down into simpler terms, like Carl Jung did with the personality types?

I was just wondering if any INTPs out there had a job as a psychologist. Lately I've been searching for what I should be when "I grow up" and today, my boyfriend asked me if I had ever considered being a psychologist. I'm interested in how people's minds work and what makes people tick. I'm...

I realize this is a rather broad question, but I'm not sure how to rephrase it. I suppose what I'm looking for is ultimately what makes people do what they do and why do they handle situations the way the handle them? Ill try to break it down.... Some of what I'm asking is do you think in...

Disclaimer: this, like every other thread here, has probably been done somewhere else, someway else, but for the sake of sanity I'm not going to hunt it down. I was wondering if there is anything out there about different thought processes? It seems to me that yes, there are different...

Hmm lets see... I usually get an idea in my head.( not an image, more like... A general feeling) then I take the feeling and start throwing around colors that I think represent that. Then I see how that turns out and I keep adding to it until it portrays the idea that was in my head. Usually my...

I don't think so. I've actually been toying with the idea for awhile, I just hadn't (until that moment) felt the need or want to test my idea of using logic to block my emotions. You see, for the past few months I have been trying to get in touch with my Fe ( mostly for my boyfriends sake) but...

The vampire diaries thing actually crossed my mind. Perhaps they got the idea from us INTPs;)

I mean just what the title says.... Sort of. Here let me try to explain. Today on my way from work I was really stressed and started thinking about everything that's going wrong in my life. As you can imagine, I started to go to a dark place and before I knew it, I started crying. (Not sobbing)...

I don't have low self-esteem. I just like my people like I like my mayonnaise; far away away where I don't have to see or smell it because I hate mayonnaise.

I reserve eating gummy bears for the times when I'm upset. (But gummy worms are okay for any occasion) I rip things up into tiny pieces while I think. When I'm in the middle of reading a book (even if I've sat it down to take a break) I hate when people try to communicate with me. When I can't...

Where's the Latino?!

I'm not sure that this is completely accurate(it doesn't go into enough depth), but it does seem promising. It would explain why all INTPs are not the same person. I know. "Everyone's an individual" blah blah blah. I know that no two people can be the exact same person for multiple reasons, but...

I consider myself to be quite a simple person, but most people don't see me that way. I want to enjoy life freely and HATE when people try to control me. In fact, if I feel that someone is trying to control me, I will become almost illogical (almost) in trying to go against them. I am honest...

1. Jack's Mannequin 2. Mayday Parade 3. Of Monsters and Men 4. Carolina Liar 5. Death Cab For Cutie I mostly go for underground alternative bands.

You're right about being interested in how people work. Perhaps I should just settle for teaching.

I don't think I would be happy doing that.....

I'm sure a similar thread has been started before, but I'm to lazy to look. Anyway, I'll need to start making choices soon about where to go to college, what to major in, and what career I eventually want to end up in. I'm artistic, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough to make a career out of...

I don't know what it is, but for the past few months (off and on) I've been very emotional. It's never in front of other people. Usually, the end of the day will come and I'll just break down. What happened to the whole thing about us not expressing emotions except very rarely?

The same goes for me. Although I am rather lazy...I don't have to put effort into school in order to do well. I'm also very good at sports without actually trying.

I don't have a problem with it. I was raised to look people in the eye when you talked to them because it shows respect. In fact, sometimes I make people nervous because I'm so comfortable with it that I sometimes forget to break it. The only time I have an issue with eye contact is when...

It's the only type that somewhat fits me. There are something's that don't really go along with it, but like I said, nothing else fits.

I love Daria:) I relate to her so well. She is the only true intp I've ever seen portrayed on tv. Am I wrong?

I think I was in elementary school when I began noticing that the other kids just said things for the sake of saying something. Half of the things they said didn't even make sense and I always tried to correct them and "make them smarter". This led to them following me around and asking my...

By this I mean, you feel like everything is pretty damn good in your life and for once you feel fulfilled. You don't need anyone else to complete and your satisfied with yourself. Are you ever truly happy for an extended period of time? Is that ever true for anyone?

I've only ever met one other INTP(that I know of) and I know this because she was exactly like me. I had always wanted to be close to her and felt a strong connection because we were so similar, but then she became jealous of my boyfriend and it went downhill from there. I ended up hating this...

Personally, I hate math and have very little patience for it. Never the less, I still do alright. As far as science goes, it's the same. I'm very drawn to art and music. I'm a painter and have a rediculous dream to one day live in Italy or Spain and become a professional. I've taken multiple...

Thank you:) I'm a tad obsessed with painting/ drawing starry night

Is it possible to become more extroverted? I'm not talking about putting on a charming face at a party that you secretly loath being at. I'm talking about being more approachable and liking it. So here are some of my questions that tie into this. A) what does it really mean to be extroverted...

I'll admit the story line isn't the best, but I still like it all the same. I suppose it's because of all the different enemies there are to defeat. With Skyrim, it limited. Both games are pretty great though. I can't wait for the next elder scrolls!

I like dark books where the characters are either crazy, on the verge of craziness, or something tragic happens to them. Also futuristic/utopia books are good. Also anything with dragons. Really anything fictional that has to do with supernatural beings or anything else mentioned above.

Skyrim is great, but Dragon's Dogma is better!! (I have a thing for dragons)

It depends on the people I'm with. If its people who's opinions mean nothing to me, I just don't care and show it. If it's people I need to get along with (my boss, coworkers, grandparents) I put on the charm and I can be fairly good at it if I try. As for total strangers, how I act depends...

Whenever I use sarcasm, people always think I'm serious. Sometimes it goes on so long that I have to stop and tell them either a) I don't actually care Or b) I'm joking Almost no one can tell the difference Does anyone else have this issue?

I live by two "I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance" - Socrates And I also make a point to never lie to myself, but that not really a motto

Wow... Everything you just said is something I have been thinking about for awhile now, I just never knew how to word it. Although what you said, might have been hypothetical, I still think it's valid and in my mind, true.

They do say ignorance is bliss. But in all honesty I would say it's overthinking that makes you depressed, and most of the time that goes hand in hand with intelligence. Take my INTJ boyfriend for example. He is insanely smart. I'm talking like in the 140s as far as IQs go. As consequence, he...

Here's a quick thought... Maybe Jung didn't want people to know. What if he never confirmed his type on purpose so that no specific type would have the audacity to claim that they were better, simply because the founder of this thing was their type.

Google doesn't help, and all of the threads I have found so far stray almost immidiately from the topic. So please, give the simplest answer possible and support your answer with as least fluff as possible... What personality type was Carl Jung?

I've been wondering this for awhile. Are INT types inherently depressed? I don't think I've ever met fellow INT who was actually happy with their life, so I know that it's not just me. I'm not saying that I'd rather not live, or even that I'm not satisfied with some aspects of my life, but I...

Yes! I have this problem constantly. I think it's because I don't work well with others, so I usually go off and do my own thing. Then, when someone tells me to do something, they feel the need to tell me how to do it because they're not aware that I already know how. It's either that, or the...
