I know you.

[Excess Decussation]

Hello all. INTJ here looking for some strange forms of neural stimulation. INTJf is too boring. When I want to waste time on the internet, I want it to be worthwhile. Having had an INTP bro and dad my whole life, I am quite familiar with "the ways". Bro has a terminal degree but would rather read wikipedia (yes, the whole thing), than work. Dad designs lots of crazy stuff in his spare time, and complains about his 150k/year Engineering job because it involves managing other engineers instead of getting to play with them. Both depend on Mom, an ESFJ, to kick their ass in gear on a regular basis. I just sat in the corner, watching, judging. Anyway, I am now living far away from the fam, and miss my INTP time. That's weird.

Wow, awesome family.

Btw have you read anything written by Machiavelli?
If not, then don't, his works seem to be specifically designed to turn INTJs evil.
(although obviously there's no such thing as absolute evil, heck the very terms "good" and "evil" are highly subjective and prone to re/miss-interpretation)

Anyway, welcome, I hope you don't find us too annoying

I am wary of any book that I see being read by more than one person in the same coffee house. The Prince is second only to Atlas Shrugged in becoming popularized by pseudo-intellectuals. I started both, but finished neither. Ayn Rand is too whiney for my liking, and "The Prince" seemed to go overboard on the whole deception gig. Every pointer was something like "Let your opponent think you have a large phallus, when in reality, you have big balls."

Always good to have INTJs on. I rather enjoy most NTs. Welcome Excess Decussation.

Great line . Can I have it?

Welcome!

You would!



Welcome to the boards! Interesting that you prefer to hang out among us, not strange, just interesting. If this were an in person gathering I'd probably prefer to be with Mixed N types as well.

Hi

Welcome.

Welcome to the INTP internet sanctuary. A place for NTs (and NFs) of all kinds to marvel at the INTP mind (or not), and how neat it is (or isn't). My parents are also INTP (Dad) and ESFJ (mom), except my sister turned out an ENTJ (pure evil) and I an INxP (slightly less evil).

Question: How do you feel about parentheses?

 

[echoplex]

Welcome. I think INTJs are awesome, although I've tested as one before so that might explain why.

 

[Cobra]

Welcome.

Cog, can you introduce me to Miss Interpretation, please? She sounds cute.

 

[Oblivious]

Ayn Rand is too whiney for my liking.

She has a few good ideas, but she's a little too extreme and one sided imo. My respect for her went down quite a bit when she lambasted relativity in the Fountainhead :/

At one point I think she tried to imagine a fourth spacial dimension, failed, and then used that as a refutation of 4D physics D:

 

[Artifice Orisit]

Cog, can you introduce me to Miss Interpretation, please? She sounds cute.

Sure thing, I'm currently dating her sister, Miss Take.

Miss Take is just wonderful, sure she can be a bit difficult to like at first, but having gotten past that I've discovered the most exciting, creative person any guy could ever hope to meet.

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

I always figured Miss Anthrope was more your type. Miss Take is the kinda gal you settle for when you can't get who you really want.

Oh well, too bad you aren't hooking up with Mis ogyne. Thet self loathing beeyoch is will do any degrading thing you can think of.

 

[Artifice Orisit]

Well Miss Anthrope and I are quite close, in our way, it's just that a relationship with her could most succinctly be described as poisonous. After a few years on & off we eventually came to realise it was just never going to work out, but that didn't mean we had to stop being friends, if anything we're closer now than what we were as a couple.

Oh well, too bad you aren't hooking up with Mis ogyne. Thet self loathing beeyoch is will do any degrading thing you can think of.

Err, no thanks, sounds more like your type than mine.

Or how about Miss Use?
She's great fun and very open minded, also since she's Miss Take's cousin I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for us to get you an introduction, although it would be wise to exercise caution around her sister, Miss Fortune.

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

Well with Miss Fortune comes her joined at the hip sister Miss Demeanor. With those two you'll find yourself seeking out Miss Sing in order to hide from them. If you don't, you'll end up facing the wrath of justice from their mother Miss Carriage.

Or worse still, Miss Irony Ionary
