Good morning/afternoon/night

[Monty]

So a friend of mine - who can be very pushy when he wants to be - decided I had to do a MBTI test. So I did one and it turns out I am INTP, whatever the hell that means. I intend to do some research in to MBTI in the near future... mainly because I just finished reading the discworld series in its entirety and I'm now at a loss in terms of life-goals.

So to kick-start this research I decided to lean on you lovely people, perhaps learn a thing or two about this personality archetype and get to grips with my inability to generally sympathise, empathise and form relationships without considerable effort and pain for both sides. I'm only 21 for Christ's sake.

Now what I REALLY wanted to say before I started typing was; Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to meet you all.

i like the pattern of how your thoughts flow. from learning to relationships. Perception to judgement. can't deal with the content right now, it's bed time where i live (that is six o clock in the morning). welcome

Welcome.
Your avatar and the content of your post appear to be in almost complete contrast. It is most disconcerting.

I'm pretty sure the guy in the avatar has difficulty forming relationships without considerable pain and effort on all sides as well.

Hi, welcome.

Welcome!

There are massive Archives of prior threads, should none of the ongoing appeal to one's curiosity.

BTW- What does "I'm only 21" excuse?

Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to meet you all.

You're only saying that because you haven't actually met any of us yet.

Welcome and what not. This is one of the better pages for info on the INTP mind.

Edit: I finally realized what your avatar reminds me of: Dada and German Impressionism. Where the hell is @Puffy when you need some artistic input?

@Monty, is that the Joker?

@Da Blob I like to think that, because of my age, my inability to empathise and form relationships isn't my fault. I'm wrong, of course, but I like to think it nonetheless.

@Cavallier You have a damn fine eye; The photo is of Conrad Veidt in his role as Gwynplaine in 'The Man Who Laughs.' The film, and the novel it is based on, is essentially dramatic in nature. However, the film was directed by the German Expressionist Paul Leni and as a result is so dark and gloomy it LOOKS like a horror film.

@EyeSeeCold It was Conrad Veidt in this role that inspired Bob Kane and Bill Finger to create the Joker, at least the way he appeared in the comic books. So take an internet from me, good sir!

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Ah, I see. Never heard about him or the film before, they really do look similar.

Oh right, welcome to the forum.

 

[Da Blob]

And perhaps you are not...
