INFPs and their amazing ideas.

Don't worry about that. It would be mean to act deliberately (although they could read through it), but no one is going to hold it against you if it's "natural" to you.

As always.

MBTI is indeed not gospel. But Adymus isn't talking about MBTI.

Name and shame, I say (j/k, as I can act as a magnet).

Pod'lair is more than even just psyche configuration (equivalent to "personality type") identification and analysis. So, yes, there is more. Even limited to just psyche configuration identification and analysis, there is a lot of theory behind the means of identifying psyche configurations...

Simulatedworld, would you be willing to give Adymus a short video of yourself?

Physiological cues. Humans give off evidence of cognitive function use and "preference".

Wouldn't expect any less. But to back up Adymus, even when in belief that I was an INTP (for reference, I am an INFJ), I've found that I had an affinity towards ENFPs. I stated that "they were my favourite type to have as friends". I also had some sort of affinity towards INFJs, but it was...

You're born a type. Only certain types are allowable, dictated by nature/evolution/God/whatever. The cognitive function order you were born into determines which functions you can consciously use, and which of these give/take you mental energy with use, and in what ratios - this was nature's...

You are correct in your understanding that there is no cognitive function called, say "Extraverted Perceiving (Pe)". However, it can still be useful to use the term "Pe" to be a place holder for Ne/Se. When I use "Pe/Pi/Je/Ji" I am using them as place holders for the functions that fill their...

There is also the function role argument (Pod'Lair have a good conceptual understanding on this) - that one requires a Pe, Pi, Je and Ji function to survive.

Like "INTP" and etc? They don't use those, actually. Adymus used those terms for INTP Forum's community's convenience. They even refrain from using a lot (if not all) of Jungian terminology too, but Jungian phycology doesn't equal MBTI anyway. "What did they do when they had to made the first...

I'd imagine that the Pod'Lair community believe that the MBTI and other analytical psychology tests are garbage, so there is nothing (yet) worthy of calibrating their assessments/results with. I would imagine that the Pod'Lair community take their results are truth because they can "see"...

Carl Jung was (apparently) an INFJ and probably saw things less mechanically and more holistically than the elementary cues. The leader dude of Pod'Lair is (apparently) an INFJ too, but he copped on that a more hard-science approach was needed for others to not belittle his work, and so he...

That would actually be a good experiment, and it's a good question for Adymus: "would you expect that they would have the same personality type after all those years?" A more straight forward question for Adymus would be (presuming that people are born of their personality type): "would you...

I'm on EU. I added your details, just in case, and a guy showed up on my friends list. Wasn't you ("MBTI" and "INTP" rang no bells to him/her). So yeah, I think EU and US are still separate at the moment (unless that person was a sibling/friend of yours (or a cracker) using your account)...

US or EU?

I'll consider it.

L (Death Note), lol. (Would Adymus disagree?)

You know the way INFJs tend to think and care about other people much more than they get back? Is that fair? What do you think the world should be like? Is it just tough luck and/or should the INFJ think/care less when it isn't returned; should others return the thought/care to an equal...

For the record, I was the only poster (so far) to mention that the article was composed by an individual as opposed to an entire forum, or an undefined number of authors, as the OP conveyed in that thread. Didn't say your name, as idk, it would have made the situation too personal.

Or the original. ;)

Well it's all to do with the Blizzard accounts. If one has an EU Blizz account, I don't think editing a file will change that to a US account. Edit: actually, it might have more to do with what SC2 Beta was registered as to each account (EU or US), but still that info is with Blizzard I think...

EU or US? (Players from one server can't play or see each other from the other.) I"m EU.

I thought of something similar to this a while ago. However, I conceptualized pods which would move along the platform when the train came near and would match its speed at a certain interval allowing the passengers to go through. The same pods would then slow down after the interval and rest at...

Thanks, this has brought a lot of clarity. When I first heard of the MBTI, I possessed a very basic understanding of the 4 axes the MBTI tests look out for. That misguided understanding would have been able to answer these questions easily: "INTPs are thinkers, so of course they would be better...

Interesting. I believe somewhere, Adymus, you mentioned that the roles of the 4 functions an individual doesn't have (consciously, i.e: the "shadow functions") can be accomplished by use of combinations of the 4 conscious functions that individuals has. Now, I'm not talking exactly about...

God, sometimes reading this forum makes me feel like an extravert. How the hell did this happen to (some of) ya'll?!! How can it happen? Humans are social creatures... Anyways, DrSLudge, once you're in college you should be sorted. Until then, well, idk, maybe try to get a job somewhere where...

Get a few drinks in ya and bring your dancing shoes. Do it in the name of personal development.

Dude, seriously; don't worry about it, haha. INTPs spend too much time thinking anyway. Go out clubbing or something. :)

(Give me a day or two to reply, though; my college projects are like due tomorrow.)

ProxyAmenRa has been brave enough IRL; let no more be required to face the on-line world too.

*Hugs* Hope it turns out all right. I'll say a prayer for you tonight. You're taking this very well, ProxyAmenRa. (Also, some of you guys suck - this is friggin horrible.)

Got it from a night of dancing in unbroken-in shoes (btw, if that's a tattoo of you, you look rather disgusting. Love you anyway though). Don't force a reply, seriously. ^_^ I only want one if you are interested enough to make the effort; not if you only feel obliged to.

Eh well firstly it's just the 4 INxx types. Secondly I think Adymus will state that the dominate is pretty much always bound to be standard, for it can never be underdeveloped, because it would have been used too much (source of mental energy). Now maybe it can be overdeveloped, e.g: in people...

Ah no, not at all. It was a stimulating discussion for me at the time, and I had fun. No more discussion is required for me to still have gained from it.

I don't think it's very serious and you've probably come across it before, but there is this for the INTP instalment. Anyways, one way you could go about this is in a systematic fashion, e.g, have a: standard model subtype; subtype with well developed tertiary; subtype with well developed...

I don't know which I prefer, actually. My preference meter, on science topics, is how fundamental the topic is. There are both micro and macro fundamental and applied topics. If one of the two is inherently more fundamental, I suppose I perfer that (micro?), but is that truly the case?

Overrated. I'll be doing some academic work and a bit of gaming and creative stuff. Oh and sleep.

Here's a random link I found on ISFJ (female) - INTP (male) relationships (however I don't know the sex of you or the INTP, but perhaps it would apply with any combination). This is probably the nastiest piece on the Internet about this subject, and I don't know if it is credible or anything...

I'd disagree somewhat in that I believe the two are of opposite dimensions; i.e: on can be of none, either or both (basically I disagree that courage only comes with analysis). So in that example of the father running to the burning house to save the puppy, sure, he might be a bit of idiot...

Do INTPs tend to possess a lot of patience, particularly with ambitions and goals? Regardless, what about general patience with other stuff?

When I initially started researching into the MBTI, I referred to the 4th function as the "Inferior Function" and I referred to the 5th to 8th functions as the "Shadow Functions". However, I have seen some people using the term "Shadow Function" when referring to the 4th function. Which...

I think everyone should just take a breather to be honest. Give it a day or two. The community fighting with each other like this is probably just filling the heart of whoever caused all this with joy, at our expense.

However, C&C is an RTS game, and that's something. Shatokan, I would imagine, knows the basic idea: gather resources; build structures; produce units out of structures; tech-up; and go destroy some opposing units/structures. Ok, yeah, some basic things are a good big different, like how Zerg...

I'm able to play, but not necessarily well, haha. I still have a Battle.Net account and all that. I still actively play WarCraft 3 (occasionally melee, but mainly DotA and a bit of other custom maps) on Battle.Net and Garena.

Adymus, is this your own theory, or is this a generally accepted MBTI theory? I've heard something like this before with regards to extraversion/introversion, but not to the whole shabang (although in my own personal theorizing, I presented the idea of this*. However, I didn't know that it was...

I would say that there are more INTP males than INTP females because (I would say that) there are more T males than T females. I believe this is due to the way children are stereotypically raised. Basically, if the effects described by the poster above me exist and happen after someone's MBTI...
