How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I took tests many times. And I have went over some of the functions with other people who seemed to be quite knowledgeable in the MBTI function types. I tested as ENFP from a friend who put a lot of pressure on my personal decision and choices. After removing myself from my narcissistic parents and friends. I finally moved from Los Angeles to Greece because I went to get married to someone I thought understood me(INTP), and I thought understood her(INTJ).
I won't go into the details of the poor decisions and disturbed mind I had which was unraveled to my INTJ partner sharing very insightful psychology books from Asian authors who had written about their personal struggle with their own culture and abusive parents. To get to the point, I'm a huge mess and still in recovery and will be for years to come but at least I know a psychology term as to what I am supposed to be called, "disturbed character." You can wiki it for more information.
How did you find out about this forum?
I just searched on bing INTP Forum because ever since I moved from America and I cannot speak Greek yet and do not intend to as I am moving to Japan within a year or two anyways. I decided to keep to myself as I stay in this country. There are personal reasons and other reasons I wish not to share.
Do you have a partner/lover?
Yes I have an INTJ wife.
Do you have any kids?
No, it's best if we don't as long as we are still in Greece.
Do you have any pets?
Many cats/kittens almost all saved from the street, and 2 dogs atm also saved from the street.
Do you work any where?
I work at GoTranscript.com and I'm currently an audio transcriber which I picked up in August of 2017. I have an average rating of 3.9/5 on my work and made $31 dollars in 2 weeks.
Are you looking for more opportunities? IF so how far are you willing to go?
I'm also looking for more opportunities for work and to earn money so that I could get out of Greece and Greece pays ER doctors 2.50 euros can hour so things are very bad... My only bet is my American passport, and American Address I can put up to find American jobs from online and do freelance work. I'm willing to learn any skill, study anything at this point and effectively and proficiently level up my game in any area of expertise or field. My life currently depends on it because in 1 year my deadline is either homeless in Greece or in Japan somehow. It must be done within a year because I've pretty much ran out of funds already and I'm lasting on fumes now, as well as leeching off my wife and her funds. I think I need some advice in a direction that will allow me more than a solid $2 dollars can hour. I'm willing to work 16+ hours a day 7 days of the week if necessary and already have been for the past 3 weeks. I am able to go on because living in Greece and knowing that ER doctors making $2.50 an hour and getting fired because some hospitals are going bankrupt and need to pay the doctors even less. Well, I don't see any opportunity in this country. And honestly, making a living when you've been a virgin for 27 years living with your parents and finally moving out and learning to grow up in a country that doesn't even give me an opportunity is making me more desperate than imaginable.
What have you been doing in your life before your difficult plan to financial freedom?
I was a procrastinating pathological egotistical lying internet gamer troll who didn't have a life besides watching anime, collecting quotes to keep myself in the delusion that I was going to become successful using the law of attraction. Now I'm facing who I am, understanding I have a limited amount of time, window of opportunity and that I'm going to have to learn, study, explore, research, educate myself every single day. Mentally, physically, psychologically towards healthy goals, even nutritionally I have picked better things to eat. I realized to take responsibility even for things I am not fault at and at by doing so I can overturn and overcome many issues. There is only the limited stream of energy I can work with everyday I wake up to the hour that hits me and I become either so sleepy or my eyes dry out and become blurry that's when I sleep. I don't care if something is easy or hard, I just see it as something to do. To complete to accomplish, to figure out an estimation of my time and energy and realistic goal setting with plans of not burning myself out too quickly. I understand that I'm in a marathon called life. It's not a race because marathons take many decades and people have setbacks all the time. And because I understand that I'd understand if people have their dark days. At least since I'm in my mid-life crisis as we speak I can relate to all those who are going through some hell or depression in their life. I can understand this intellectually however I will not respond or show an emotional face since that's just how I naturally am an INTP with an array of introverted intellectual understanding of things. My energy can be used more productively than to force myself to create a face that is appropriate to the emotional circumstance or situation. In most cases I will give my usual emotionless face and say whatever is affecting me emotionally or to serious cases with a stern and serious face traumatizing or triggering.
Do you have any dreams or goals?
Absolutely, my dream used to become an olympic gold medalist who beats Usain Bolt in the 100 meter or Mike Powell's world record in the long jump. I realized it's a far-fetched childish dream or not if a miracle happens that I am financially supported, with great coaches and chefs to prepare my meals while I train all day like I used to when I was younger breaking my own record little by little almost on a daily basis. However, I have a different dream and it's more of a political one. I found the reason why I wanted to be those things. It's to be a role model. Not to be the best in something but to step into a higher place so that I could share a message to others mostly inspirational and motivating ones. Of course, understanding how people live in different parts of the world would help right? Yes, I don't think can do that as an INTP that would be too exhausting. So I've decided that I want to be honest to myself no matter if I achieve my goals or dreams. I'm going to start off with facing reality honestly and to understand my situation so that I can survive and not so much at the expense of others as I feel like a machiavellian.
What are your current interests/hobbies?
Anime, Games, Psychology, MBTI, Metaphysical, Self-development, listening to what people are saying (I'm an audio transcriber it's my job and I don't find it to be that bad except the pay and harsh ratings I think are unfair), TV series could be in any language as long as it has English subtitles, conscious breathing exercises that help to center myself when I feel unbalanced. Youtube videos, day dreaming, and surfing the web to see what is out there, letting my curiosity run it's course.
If you had the money, what would you do?
Here are things I won't stop doing even if I do have money. Studying up on subjects, reading articles, watching youtube videos, documentaries, TED Talks, Self-development, Financial freedom, Investments, Compounding interest, playing games maybe gameplay commentaries from time to time uploading to Youtube, watching anime, sharing my personal opinion on different subjects in websites that allow me to speak freely, including uploading Youtube videos. Getting myself involved in an online community such as this and perhaps meet in real life. Travel to different countries, learn different languages, I'm learning Japanese atm only at N4 level. Learn everything I need to know about how to run a business and have permanent financial freedom and build upon my financial knowledge in this world so I can keep myself sharp, focused. Also, I'd like to pay someone to do the things I'm not good at and focus on making money or earning a living to keep this economic cycle going. If someone wants to pay me for something they aren't interested in doing I also see value in that trade. I think I just wouldn't stop trading my services because I understand how difficult it is to sustain yourself in any situation.
How can someone contact you?
PM me, I have a Facebook, Email, Skype, Discord, Youtube, Game accounts if not I can always make one, Steam, Twitter, Instagram. Whatever I don't have i am open-minded enough to join.
What are some reasons to contact you?
If you'd like to chat with me send me a message with more than 1 word phrases and greetings. Bring with you at least 1 topic or question you'd like to ask or chat about with me. You can even talk about religious and political ones. No subject is off topics with me. If I feel something is too dangerous to share with you, I'll let you know. You'll know that I'm at least going to be genuine about how I feel and think about certain matters.
As time goes by, unless I have a reason to stay here. I may end up drifting away to other websites. Seeking for a place for me to feel like a part of a warm communities. So far, Quora seems to be a place I visit quite often.
) I looked for an INTP forum and found this...
