I find that interacting here is far more relaxing than with other INTJs.
Anyone want to suggest reasons why this is?

INTPs are less rigid and controlling?

Well, I've been on the INTJ forum and I've noticed that there is a broad, collective belief system that kind of restricts what can be discussed.

Here on the other hand, you can say anything you want, provided you back up your opinion.

Most people become INTPs with the aid of Marijuana, that's why it's so relaxing here.

hmm ... what would an actual INTP be like on Marijuana?

We're INTPs. Ps. The Pness makes all the difference. Once you've had some Pness, you can't go back :rolleyes:

First off: Typology is all about nature, not about life experiences.
Second point: They'd be even more abstract and relaxed with the possibilities of everything. Every Path Leads Somewhere!

That must be true, I swear to god.

Sometimes, I act so stoned, my mom accuses me of smoking pot. But I've never smoked pot in my life. I just have a "natural high" I suppose.

Wow. That can't be good.

People think I'm high occasionally when I'm not. What's up with this...?

That happens to me, too!

Gosh, people must think we walk around constantly drugged up....

How does your J respond to threads being taken off topic without a second thought, with no one bothering to restore order? :p

That's what my guess has been for a little while, anyway.

"INTPs for the Win"?

There's a prize at the end of all this?

Can it be eaten?

Suprisingley my J is pretty subdued while I'm here.

This maybe due to the fact that it has weakened in the past 2 years because of my time spent on the internet and with extroverted friends. I still like order and for things to stay on topic, but generally I'm not that fussed about it except when I seriously want to achieve something/ find something out.

Well personally, I'd probably end up mumbling something like this:

"Goddam Daleks, whydda havta screw up atlantiss?"

:D

So, new common INTP trait: Stoned-like qualities? Is that a good thing or a bad thing??

-On hearing this Melkor rubs his defibulators together in excitement, and is knocked of his feet for a while-

-gets back up-


Intps don't win anything...they get distracted while winning, or else realise that winning is aimless and quite half-way.

lets face it guys, practically anything anyone brings up here has a fair chance starting a conversation or at least being acknowledged.

Here I'll try a few conversation starters. Marijuana smoking hamsters. Or, how about 3 day old fish in the filing cabinet of life? Oh, I know, how about 42 reasons why you shouldn't leave an ESFP alone in your house for too long?

37: They move things
38: They're messy
39: An aura of stupidity may linger
40: They could die, thus become a mess
41: Only an idiot would have a ESFP in their house, thus you would be an idiot
42: Just don't do it, just. don't.

So is this fish what is stinking up life? If this is so, who put the fish in there? Will the stink linger if we can get rid of the fish? Maybe getting a cat for the filing cabinet would help.

Whatever you do don't get a dog. they would roll in the 3 day old fish in the filing cabinet of life. Then along with a stinky life, you have a stinky companion.


Cog, what about all the other reasons. Don't they like to snoop in your medicine cabinets, run up long phone bills, drink all your alcohol, and puke in your flower pots? How about use the pages of your books for toilet paper?

To me the INTP thought process is fragmented and convoluted enough without marijuana brought into the situation. Well, that's a cannabis sativa strain anyway. Cannabis indica on the other hand just slows the thought process down. Neither are good to the individual who prides himself on his mental abilities.

INTPs are meticulous with their conceptualizations and effective at logically unifying them.

Not only would they roll in it, but they'd eat it and vomit it back up on the carpet later. (We've got beagles. Why oh why must they insist on eating the nastiest things they can find?)

I've smoked pot on occasion. Of course, wayyy before I ever did, people thought I did. Laid back, crazy ideas, long hair? Yeah.
Anyway, I usually smoked too much (a little tiny bit wasn't too bad but honestly I don't like to relax - weird I know), at which point I was so high that I'd forget what I was saying mid-sentence. Now for some maybe this was fun or funny? I dont know. But for an INTP? It was the worst!!! I was so paranoid, I would just stop talking altogether until it went away.

^The same thing happens to me because of my sleep patterns.

I regularly go without sleep (this week I think I slept once every second night), because I'm terribly undisciplined and easily distracted. Now when the body is over-fatigued, it does something called "micro-sleeping", where the brain shuts down for a few seconds every so often. Usually the person is completely unaware he is losing consciousness and is able to continue with his day, although of course it's extremely dangerous while driving.

Because I don't sleep, I often microsleep during the day - MID SENTENCE WHILE TEACHING! And the worst thing is it completely screws up my short-term memory as well so when I wake up I have absolutely no idea what I said earlier and am left staring blankly into my students' faces. Even worse, I find my subconscious often takes over while micro-asleep such that when I wake up I find myself in the middle of a sentence about something extremely unusual and unrelated to the topic. I've had quite a few lessons where my students stare at me round-eyed in horror. Once I woke up to find myself talking about quavers and crotchets having a party.

The absolute worst thing is, when I'm just coming out of it, I have no idea whether what I'm saying makes sense - my brain is severely debilitated and it takes me about 20 seconds to tell. This has made me increasingly paranoid. Like you I'd just stop talking while my students panicked.
