Still my favourite comic on the internet.

Same. It's the only one I read, but still

An INTP would never say 110% in normal conversation...impossible! ILLOGICAL!

 

[Hadoblado]

The 100% refers to the expected output, not the total. So when people ask for 110%, they really aren't asking for that much...

The statement was "I support the war 110%."

Explain to me how that figure is logical.

For the record, enthusiasm, unlike work output which is predicated on another number (e.g., 184 widgets sold last month), caps at 100%.

You can't be more enthusiastic than you're capable of being.

INTPs make their own rules, it made sense to his own system of logic

The rules should at least be logical, clever, understandable, and appropriate but who am I to stymy arbitrary INTP bullshit?!

No way. INTPraptor was saying that his enthusiasm for war was 110% of what can be expected from either him or the average raptor. Why does enthusiasm cap at 100%? I know people that can reach levels of enthusiasm far beyond what I'm capable of.

That's the reason!

It's not a comparison to the average raptor or (in your case) other people but, rather, personal capacity, which innately caps at one hundred percent.

Aha, glad that's cleared up!

 

[Hadoblado]

I'll take that as a dismissal?

 

[snafupants]

I'll take that as a dismissal?

Yeah, class is dismissed.

 

[Anna Moss]

Lol, only on an INTP forum...
Actually, the 110% problem occurred to me too. I attributed his seeming misuse of percentages to the stress of the circumstances. Still...

That last slide accurately depicts my ENFJ sister's melodrama over interpersonal things.

Three days ago she indirectly burned a family member's hand and went into an NF tailspin.

She almost cried yesterday when I said on Skype that I would guiltlessly inveigle meals on wheels by feigning a terminal illness.

 

[Anna Moss]

It must be so different being an NF.

[Cognisant]

Dancing?

Only after heavy drinking

 

[The Gopher]

Could have been an ENTP, but still...

 

[scorpiomover]

It must be so different being an NF.

Yes. Many INTPs and many INTJs believe that NFs don't argue using reason, not even if they are scientists.

 

[Anna Moss]

ENTPs are 1/4 of the velociraptor population.

Yes. Many INTPs and many INTJs believe that NFs don't argue using reason, not even if they are scientists.

The only two people I have considered marital material (one being fictional) were NFs in scientific fields.

ENTPs are 1/4 of the velociraptor population.

Have you noticed, how ENTJs, are considered business-minded NTs, ENTPs as inventing NTs, and INTJs as strategic NTs, but INTPs just considered pontificators? Sometimes I wonder why NTs don't just try to say we're really NFs.

I always thought of INTPs as the ones who first come up with the idea/math/theory--we're the people working on the bleeding edge. Actually though, they did a study of a group of casual inventors (you know, the guys who tinker in their garages?) and the most represented group was the INTPs, followed by the ISTPs. So INTPs do invent.

Who was the fictional one?

An obscure Transformers character from the original 80s TV show--he was a university professor turned intergalactic explorer. I'd say he was either an ENFJ or an INFJ; there really wasn't enough camera time to say.

 

[Cognisant]

I think the confusion comes from the notion that an INTP needs a ENTP's energy to do anything, which isn't the case, though I think a ENTP's energy is required to do anything that involves other people, on their own I can easily see INTP inventors working away in their garages.

Yeah, the ENTPs would definitely be better at marketing/selling their inventions.

Zomg, I just spotted this and caught up with it over the last night. These are HILARIOUS, Anna!

Rational velociraptors are probably the best idea in comic history.

That's one peeved NF. Oftentimes I feel I'm saying something elemental to an NF, and I feel pleased that they are deeply considering what I've just said, but actually they're secretly planning to mash my insolent face in.

 

[scorpiomover]

Yeah. Us NTs are all dinosaurs that are going extinct.

In that case, then a LOT of inventors were INTPs, because a LOT of the most famous inventors did make their inventions by toiling away for years by themselves John Logie Baird an George Eastman Kodak, but to name 2.

Have you ever seen any of those "Hitler rants about __________" clips on Youtube? That's an unhealthy NF getting angry there.

Yeah. Us NTs are all dinosaurs that are going extinct.

Ah, but clearly these NTs didn't. Perhaps a subpopulation of velociraptors, scientists living in the Athens of the time, realized/foresaw the full calamity of the Cretaceous extinction event and made preparations for long-term survival. No doubt they saved all their best minds with the hope of rebuilding velociraptor civilization afterwards.

I love the sly velociraptor look in the bottom panel, Anna. It's glorious.

 

[Anna Moss]

He looks especially cunning in that panel.

Artisan anti-venom. Spit collection, anyone?

 

[Nick]

All of last night into the middle of the day today was spent reading every, single link.

And it was worth it more than anything else I would have wished to have done.

Keep up the great works Anna.

 

[Kirsanov]

I spent an hour yesterday reading through every comic. Bravissima!

 

[Anna Moss]

Thank you!!

[Amagi82]

Omg, no wonder other people don't appreciate it when I take notes about their lives!

[Cognisant]

Ironic coming from an INTP

 

[Amagi82]

INTP guy didn't mean to do that.... or did he?

 

[Cybeny]

These comics are great! Keep up the good work!

I can see myself a lot in that velociraptor!

 

[Anna Moss]

I'm always happy to provide a positive role model for my fellow INTPs.

[Amagi82]

I can see you inside the velociraptor as well.

 

[Cybeny]

I can see you inside the velociraptor as well.

Hahaha, Surely he would refuse to eat me, a fellow INTP! Wouldn't that be a form of cannibalism?

Anna, I thought only ENTPs smirk. It's our natural expression - we're probably smerking when we sleep.

 

[The Gopher]

Smirking seems to be one of my favored expressions as well.

 

[Anna Moss]

Now that I think about it, smirking does seem to be an ENTP expression.
