No-one ever knows what they're getting into by joining here. That's why I'm handing out weapons to the newbies. Just head over to the Arena if you want to use them. Then you can just grab all the old weapons lying around.
Also, if you see Melkor, you have to call him a bishie. No matter how much he claims not to be one. =P

That song is fantastic.
His grandmother?
Maybe that song isn't so fantastic.
*runs off to look up lyrics*
Heh. Well that works now, doesn't it?
By the way, I love that you though of the song Veronica before the artist "the Veronicas". I get that too much

What's your gender?
Male
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
Online tests and then a little research into the subject, I was shocked when I read the detailed INTP personality description, I always thought those traits I have are a problem that needs fixing.

Do you have any kids?
No
Do you have any pets?
No
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Computers and everything in them and around them, any form of art , I like to paint, play games a lot, listen to a lot of music and -occasionally- play piano or violin.
How do you generate an income?
I develop video games, currently working for a game development studio, and I also have my own little start-up company.
Hardest thing about being INTP?
Loneliness, around here no like minded people at all, everyone thinks on a different level, I almost feel I'm an outcast, that's probably why I lived alone for the last 3 years.
A very unsettling problem too is that my interest is at it's peak at theory and problem solving but when the time comes for application, I can't keep the same momentum or focus, been trying to fix this problem for the last year or so.
Can an INTP change? did anyone succeed in changing any of the most annoying traits?... and I mean really change and not just 'mask'.

Hello and welcome, Salwan. May you find cookies, debattes and the light switch.
To answer the question if an INTP can change we have to answer the question if a man can change at all. Since every person is just a package of atoms and informations that shouldn't be too difficult but then again, it's all much more complicated than it seems to us.

Reading a blog, the guy linked to a description of INTPs, I thought a lot of it applied to me. Then took tests and it confirmed my thoughts...
Google'ed INTP forums.
No, never had one. Kind of getting to me lately. Damn testosterone.
Look above. Also, no adoptions.
I don't but my roomies do. 3 cats. Which is great because I can have the good sides of pets without having to take care of them.

Yes, or rather I did. A lovely little rat named Ratticus Bobbicus the 3rd. Bob for short but he got cancer (as they all do) and passed away to little rat...basement? I don't think they'd really like heaven. Too much light for little light sensitive eyes. Besides, boooooooooring. He lived on my shoulder snuggled under my hair and we watched tv and searched the inter-webs together.

careertest.net - then i took 3 other tests form different sites. the first test I got back actually pegged me as an INTJ, but only by a few percent. I think it's silly to post your scores, but I have included mine. I am happy to be a little more well rounded than others on here who have 100% markings, which could also just be a sign they answer certain ways on purpose, which is deceitful.

Just use my nickname. My name will sound weird anyways, especially since it's not native to the country I live in now.

Lithuania. Wasn't born here, tho, but... Eh... I really hate the way other Lithuanians always go 'OMG I bet you don't know where it is)))' -__- ughhh I hate it. And I hate those stupid smiley faces.

16 and a few months.
What's your gender?
Male.
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I just happen to like personality tests. I feel a strange need to get to know myself so I could use my true potential. Aaand... I was a bit sceptical, but the results were impressive.
How did you find out about this forum?
Absolutely accidentally. The crappy google translation somehow got my attention - and yesterday I was at a friend's house [INTJ - imagine that...] and he showed me some interesting pages about what considers these personality types. I got curious again.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No. Never had one.
Do you have any kids?
Of course not.
Do you have any pets?
Yes - a cat and a dog. I really love keeping pets.
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Languages, programming, music, photography and literature. I always want to do too much at the same time.
Anything else?
Sorry for any weird typos or mistakes I might make while talking in English. Thank you for your attention.

Where are you from?
Lithuania. Wasn't born here, tho, but... Eh... I really hate the way other Lithuanians always go 'OMG I bet you don't know where it is
)))' -__- ughhh I hate it. And I hate those stupid smiley faces.How old are you?
16 and a few months.
What's your gender?
Male.
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I just happen to like personality tests. I feel a strange need to get to know myself so I could use my true potential. Aaand... I was a bit sceptical, but the results were impressive.
How did you find out about this forum?
Absolutely accidentally. The crappy google translation somehow got my attention - and yesterday I was at a friend's house [INTJ - imagine that...] and he showed me some interesting pages about what considers these personality types. I got curious again.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No. Never had one.
Do you have any kids?
Of course not.
Do you have any pets?
Yes - a cat and a dog. I really love keeping pets.
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Languages, programming, music, photography and literature. I always want to do too much at the same time.
Anything else?

What is your name?
My real name is for people who I know very well.
Where are you from?
Many places...Leaving from the USA to China very soon.
How old are you?
25
What's your gender?
Male.
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I'm ENTJ. I figured out my type through some deep psychoanalysis, which still continues from time to time; in fact, more psychoanalysis than what more people are comfortable with, yet others are amazed by it. I'm ENTJ, so I'm more outspoken about what's on my mind I suppose, which can lead to problems if one does not think about the content of their audience before they speak.
How did you find out about this forum?
I think INTP's are cool, so I looked for a forum and found this one. There's another INTP forum that exists, but it's in shambles.
Do you have a partner/lover?
One every month it seems. I'm not proud of that. It's just that I've yet to meet a woman who is on the same page as me and is headed in the same direction in life.
Do you have any kids?
Nope.
Do you have any pets?
4 parakeets.
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Interacting with people in various forms.
Anything else?
Not that I can think of right now.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
Initially tested ENTP in college, but my best friend is an INTP, and by the time I settled down and found out my true inner self, it clearly was INTP.
How did you find out about this forum?
Looking for INTP musicians.
Do you have a partner/lover?
An INTJ wife since 12/06. Our joke is that we're the same except my P side makes me "useless." :-D
Do you have any kids?
Thankfully, no.
Do you have any pets?
2 cats, one of whom is the most INTP cat I've ever known. He sits around looking like he's contemplating how burdened the world is and how mysterious life can be.
Hardest thing about being INTP?
Dealing with parents who I suspect are ENTJ, just how strong my T side is, thinking I have something to offer the world, speaking to non-INTPs without 5,000 qualifiers
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
I write for The Hardball Times, probably in the top 20 most read baseball web sites.
I make music, some of which is on angelfire.com/music5/edr or anywhere you can find Earth Dyed Red. I'm currently writing and producing a double album that is more or less confessions of an INTP childhood. I also analyze music from what is basically an egghead INTP perspective at evidenceofautumn.blogspot.com .
I play Magic: the Gathering, I enjoy cryptic crosswords (or British-style for those of you across the pond), and I'm a roadgeek. Though I'm so consume with music that I dislike TV as a concept, I enjoy British sketch comedy (That Mitchell and Webb Look) and panel shows (Mock the Week).
I graduated from law school this year. I'm also what many would call a "fundamentalist/evangelical" Christian, but my INTP lens runs me into conflict frequently with the E, S, and J pulls of mainstream American organized religion. The aspect of NT that tends to respect competent ideas over presumed authority or tradition leads to rather iconoclastic behavior relative to the situation.

Where are you from?
Nebraska (which is, in fact, in the U.S. and yes we do have plumbing and electricity, contrary to what some of the slightly off New Yorkers think.
)
How old are you?
I'm 15 and slightly less than a month away from being 16.
What's your gender?
Female (If it wasn't apparent from the name.)
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I was wandering the internet out of pure boredom and stumbled upon the MBTI test. So, I decided to take the test, and every time I've taken it I have come up as INTP.
How did you find out about this forum?
The wondrous and mystical powers of Google led me here.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No for the moment, although one of my guy friends seems to be trying.
Do you have any kids?
Nope
Do you have any pets?
No, but I aspire to get a fox one day, because they are awesome.
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
I love to play music, and am attempting to teach myself to play guitar. I also read frequently. I am also playing some online rpgs, but I get bored with them after a while.
Anything else?
This forum is a real relief for me. I attend a fairly small highschool, and it is filled with jocks, preps, and rednecks. I've also calculated the odds of me meeting another INTP at school, and the chances are pitifully slim. So being able to talk with others like me is a nice change from the norm.

What is your name?
My name is Eloise.
Where are you from?
Sadly enough, I am unsure. I was born in New Zealand but currently reside in the USA.
How old are you?
Young enough to still be trapped in the mind-numbing world that is High School.
What's your gender?
Female
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I was on Fanfiction.net when I noticed a poll on what type you were. I took the test, came out as INTP and then went and took every test I could find just to be sure. Like many I was excited to find out I was not 'alone' although mildly put out that my quirks were not quite as unique as I thought they were.
How did you find out about this forum?
Browsing... I don't know about anybody else but when I found out I was INTP i wanted to know everything there was to know about it.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No. Believe it or not relationships are not my forte.
Do you have any kids?
no. I'm to young for that, at least in my opinion.
Do you have any pets?
I used to have a cat.
Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Reading, Wasting countless hours on the internet, World of Warcraft, thinking, writing, annoying my ESFJ mother (which is rather easy)...

Alexis. and basically any other possible variation derived from it-- Lex, Lexi, Alex, Alexi, Lexis... I've heard 'em all, and I'm not partial to how much of my name you chop off as long as it's recognizable as mine.
Where are you from?
I come from Orange County. it's rather depressing here, actually.
(also, did I spy another SoCal-er in an earlier post?)
How old are you?
18.
What's your gender?
I have boobies.
How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
We took the MBTI test in my psychology class junior year of highschool. Had to retake it for some bogus college counseling shindig my parents signed me up for, same results. Then I've taken it a few times online with no variation, of course.
How did you find out about this forum?
A close friend (INFP) developed a mini-obsession with MBTI-typing people he knew after taking the same class a year after I did. He researched a lot about all the types online, and actually developed some very accurate insights in regards to other friends based on what he had read. Rekindled my interest in personality typing, so I gave INTP a quick google search and viola.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No, in recent months I've decided to stray away from relationships and enjoy my life without worrying and stressing about another person's emotional wellbeing.
Do you have any kids?
nope.
Do you have any pets?

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
We took the MBTI test in my psychology class junior year of highschool. Had to retake it for some bogus college counseling shindig my parents signed me up for, same results. Then I've taken it a few times online with no variation, of course.
How did you find out about this forum?
A close friend (INFP) developed a mini-obsession with MBTI-typing people he knew after taking the same class a year after I did. He researched a lot about all the types online, and actually developed some very accurate insights in regards to other friends based on what he had read. Rekindled my interest in personality typing, so I gave INTP a quick google search and viola.
Do you have a partner/lover?
No, in recent months I've decided to stray away from relationships and enjoy my life without worrying and stressing about another person's emotional wellbeing.
Do you have any kids?
nope.
