INTP Characteristics

[Lobstrich]

Well, having lived in the same small town my hole life I can't say that I love it. All the gossip and knowing everything about eachother isn't my cup of tea. But I quess that if I had grown up in the city I would have had a dislike for that instead.

It's one of my favorite quotes. Sometimes I feel that a lot of people say and do things that they don't mean and I can't stand that. I first heard the quote in the movie. I think it's a great movie and I actually cried at the end. The book is even better though and I also want to read Walden, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Exactly.. If you have friends, girl/boyfriends, family etc. And they lie to you. How can you trust them? I'd take the truth over ANYTHING literally.
If I ask a friend if he wants to do something I don't want all kinds of excuses.. I want him to say it like it is even if it's "I don't want al you talking today, I just feel like watching a movie alone" It's all cool, because I asked for it. And then I know that's how he feels right now. Instead of him going "Nah can't" and then thinking "Jesus I can't stand all the talking right now" After he put down the phone.

And with the gossip, I agree. It does kind of suck that people just can't mind their own fucking business. If I feel like walking naked, so what? That doesn't mean I'm a complete douche. But to be honest, I couldn't care less what those ignorant idiots think of me =)
But I just like that it's so quiet, there's not alot of trouble over here (there's beginning to come alot though =S)
When I go to Copenhagen my "mood-o-meter" goes from 90 to 30-40..
I just feel annoyed, bitter and angry when I'm over there.
Except when I'm in either Christians Havn or Christiania (Though Christania is not what I used to be, now it really is just a gathering place for needle addicts, even though all the 'real' Christianites don't want those kind of drugs) It's sad to see such a unique place get ruined like that. Wether you like it or not, it is unique to have such a thing in such a capitalistic country as Denmark.

Actually I went to Canada to visit som family (Vancouver Island, in British Columbia) I felt like moving over there. It's just the nature I like (Just like Norway) and it had the perfect balance between Nature and huge/small cities.. I loved it. Hehe

Yeah, the truth can hurt, but finding out that someone has lied to you is worse. My best friend can't lie, trust me, I've seen her try, so everytime she gives me a compliment it means so much more to me because I know that she really means it. Not like a lot of other people just telling you what they think you want to hear.

I don't really mind what others think of me, I used to, but then I realized that I live in a town full of plastic people and what they think of me isn't what defines me. It's taken me some time to come to that conclusion though. But still the gossip about me, my family, my friends and the rest of the town makes me wanna puke. Come on, there is more to life than feeling better than others!

I've never been to Christania and don't know much about the place. But I've heard that Canada is great

Ha! Until I fell off the seawall at age ten, and sliced my left palm clear open, I could not tell my left from my right! With much practice and by using the scar as a continual reminder, I eventually was able to inculcate a sense of direction into myself. But I find this quite fascinating! And relevant because I was really drawn to if not slightly compulsive about symmetry as a child. I recall one day when I was playing with these building blocks and plastic archers and knights that I made this castle wall and it had to be exactly symmetrical... Later when I was designing the house I wanted to live in (age 13 or so - much after the seawall accident) I was thoroughly determined to make it circular and therefore symmetrical. I came up with something that looked like a flying saucer and was determined that I would save my money and live spartanly until I could afford to live in such a house =) To this day I am still fascinated by symmetry, although it does not impose such frustrations with myself (getting stuck when being creative because of tendency to impose symmetric perfection upon thinking and creative pursuits) as it used to be wont to do, it is still a sort of way in which I am able to compare one thing to another thing and see how it all matches or doesn't... Don't know if that made any sense... but thanks for sharing (sure no problem -anytime..) - thanks!

and now for externalizing my internal dialog... you just did that... I did..? Oh right on.... ... what can I say? I get lonesome!

Left from right. Interesting but we need some scientific evidence or testing. A gene? I had a cousin who couldn't tell left from right either. Just like me I have to remember something (like your split hand) and then refer to it. That costs time when a split second is required.

On the other hand it could be a defective learning process on my part due to experiences others have but I don't. Also a lefty may have their brain wired a little differently. I think this is true. I've often wondered if my hatred for bias is connected. (When I say "hatred for bias" I don't exactly know what I mean.)

 

[bananaphallus]

Same here, I genuinely didn't grasp the left/right concept until very late - relative to others, same story w/ shoe-tying.

What's with all these green eyed INTPs?

[Irishpenguin]

Oh god I have to post this now, I never grasped the concept of left and right either and have to refer to a very specific memory every time...a memory that I will explain right now (what else to I have to do?)

Okay, so when I was about 7 or 8 years old I was playing the game "Driver 2" and was in a high speed chase through the city. I had been chasing for a while and it was getting intense, I lost site of him but my brother saw exactly where he went. This is the part where my brother yells "Take a left! Take a left! Take a left!". This was a moment of truth, with me of course having no concept of left and right. So I went for it!!!.........and took the sharpest t right turn possible and crashed straight into a mud wall.....the other car got away...there was a silence in the room....
"What the hell was that!?!?"
exclaimed my brother and went off and started saying
"How in the world was that a left turn?!...damnit...now we have to do that mission again!!!...C'mon!!!

From this moment on, whenever I've had to think of Left & Right, I get that 1 or 2 seconds of..

Left = Opening

Right = Mud wall


Sorry but I just couldn't pass up this storytelling opportunity. I guess I'll list some characteristics.

- I'm the younger brother by seven years

I'm supposed to be right-handed, but when I think I do much things with my left hand, learned to write easily with my left hand, so I don't know, for I'm not a full ambidexter....

[Ariel]

I'd be curious to know if blood type has any correlation. Mine is O-negative.

Is anyone seriously compiling a correlations table here? I'd also be VERY VERY curious to cross-compare against Chinese Five-Element birth chart information (another of my hobbies - I use the free info & calculators at the www.fortuneangel.com website, they make it easy). I'm going to guess that most INTP's are high in the Water & Metal elements, and low in the Wood & Fire elements. Anyone wanna put together and conduct a research project like that??

Other characteristics I'll list here as requested in the opening post:
2nd of 2 children (both girls); dad had 2 older kids (about 9/10 yrs older) by prior wife
Ceaesarian birth after older sister was blue baby w/ forced Ceaesarian
Female gender
Right handed
Arch footed
Parents divorced (I was roughly 14)
Height: 5ft, 7inchs (I'm the "runt" of my family, my INTJ sister 6', mom was 5'10", dad 6'2" and he might have been INTP but I'll never really know)
Weight: enough!!! (sorry, can't publish that - researchers look at my profile photo & guess LOL)
Eye color: brown
Hair color: brown/light brown
Skin colour: fairly pale
Ancestry: German/Prussian on one side / British/Scotch/Irish/German on the other side
Country of birth: USA
Medical issues
-heart murmur as a young adult, stopped by about age 40 (unexplained cause)
-hernia operation at age 5, simultaneous with tonsillectomy (bet my folks got a discount!)
-no broken bones or fractures
-very few dental cavities
-no significant health problems, no allergies, low b.p., low cholesterol (hmmm, maybe I should boast about my good health in my dating website profile, heh heh)
-have worn glasses for "near-sightedness" since about age 12 (sometimes wear contacts of course)
-childhood was ... well ... Glad it's over! Maybe it wasn't too good because I did plot to run away a few times. Actually, no, it wasn't great, having parents fighting each other wasn't great. Don't think that contributed to the hassles I had at school but I think those were caused by being INTP, not the cause of becoming INTP. I would guess that my childhood and any issues I experienced then were either unrelated to being INTP, or at least were not the cause of becoming INTP. I think I was probably born INTP, or at least became INTP by age 5.

My childhood was not a traumatic experience, but not a time of ignorant bliss either. Pretty average.
I used to get really scared of going up stairs in the dark because I thought there were monsters coming to get me then. I also had the bad habit of using words that I didn't know the meaning of. My 6-year old self once declared a need for 'poontang' during a Parent-teacher association meeting. I only discovered what it meant when I was 12. I had quite the moment figuring out why I got those weird looks.

Do not relate at all to developmental accounts of INTPs, (specifically referring to this: http://personalitycafe.com/intp-articles/15683-development-intp-children.html) but have had difficulty finding a source that doesn't classify me as INTP; therefore assume that this data collecting will also prove worthless and am only posting so as to contribute to the objective analysis.
Think I have posted everything relevant (am not aware of birthing speed)

^Even then, there's so much variability within what's been posted thus far that it seems there's no correlation with type. This selective bias should produce similarities, not differences.
