New person that's too indecisive to decide on a thread title >_<

[mathy]

I suppose I did anyway though.

I've taken the MBTI tests on several different occasions, and pretty consistently scored as an INTP. My introvert/extrovert score is usually pretty close to the middle, leaning slightly (maybe 55-60%) towards introvert. I rank close to even on Thinking and Feeling, with about 55% (depending on the test and my mood) leaning towards Thinking. I typically have high scores on Thinking questions, and high scores on Feeling questions, but have a really hard time with questions asking me to choose between the two. N and P are always solid.

I love math and physics, but at the same time I enjoy making art, and writing (crazy, huh??). My life would be incomplete without music. I love to sing, and want to learn how to play some kind of instrument (something weird that no one else plays ). Oh yeah, and I pride myself on my uniqueness. I consider myself very open minded, tolerant, and enjoy analyzing people's differences (and many things, for that matter).

I thought joining this forum and meeting other INTP's might give me some insight.

(Does anyone else here find that Thinking and Feeling are not mutually exclusive?)

 

[Cegorach]

I have well developed T and F.
I don't believe that they are mutually exclusive, but rather that we are likely to orient towards one over the other.


Unique?!

But all INTP are exactly the same!
ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US...

(Forgive me ahead of time, as it's probable that I will completely derail this thread... but who knows--maybe you'll be spared!)

 

[Fukyo]

We need a few more people to have this completely derailed.

Welcome mathy

 

[Cegorach]

Good point... If my Melly isn't here then I'll have nobody to blame...

If not for that one small snag, you and me would go completely crazy all over this thread!

 

[mathy]

I think I missed something.

 

[Cegorach]

I think I missed something.

We're bonding.
I'm currently incoding my brainwaves to include your unique signature so that we will eventually be able to act in complete unison as a symbiotic entity.

Say goodbye to individuality!


Ah, but I suppose I should explain what's actually happening...
My Melly is the one called Morgoth.
It is all of our jobs to cause him as much discomfort as possible, so don't spare his feelings.

Oh... and I'm subtly hitting on Fukyo. But don't tell her. Shhhhh...

Embrace the insanity. It's the only way to survive.

 

[mathy]

I think I'm going to like this place.

Hi mathy! (niiiiice name! ).

From your short description, we seem to have a lot in common! (including the drive to be unique, but don't worry I'm sure we're not commonly unique...heehee).

I'm a very slight to moderate E, depending on the test (in testing) and the number of extraverts around me (in behaviour). I think it's great fun to witness an E contest: put a few extraverts in a room and see which ones bubble up to the top of the E-chain, and which ones go quiet!

Anyway, nice to meet you!

Chocky

 

[Deleted member 1424]

Well Mathy! I analyze people a lot as well; their motivations, belief, quirks, etc. Don't worry about Fukyo and Cow they're just (mostly) harmless perverts. If you ever post to Morgoth/Melkor/Melly make sure to insinuate he is gay.

 

[saffyangelis]

Hiya Mathy!

And welcome to the chao...I mean... um... insan..no, not that either...

erm... forget I ever said that, and just pretend we're all sane, alright?

=P

Here, you might want this...
*hands over a machine gun*

 

[Fukyo]

*Sigh*
Since when did I stop warning the newcomers about the nutcases around here and became one of those that people are warned about...

I am by no means a pervert,and the "mostly harmless" is highly debatable.

 

[Cegorach]

SHE'S LYING!

Don't trust Fukyo, she'll steal your pants...
Where did you think mine went?!

 

[mathy]

Actually, crispy new girl.

Thanks civilianjones, VERY helpful read. Much of the description seems to resonate with me, although there are some aspects that do not. (As I mentioned, my I feel that my Thinking and Feeling areas are both quite high).

Chocky--My level of extrovertedness definitely changes with who I'm around. Are you into photography? (noticing your icon.)

Thanks everyone, looking forward to raucous discussions to come.

 

[Fukyo]

Uhmm...Cow...they're on your head...

 

[Cegorach]

Why would you put them there?!

You're making me look immature, Fukyo.
Don't make me disipline you.

 

[chocolate]

Hi Mathy: yes and no. I am drawn to photography and at one point I had a camera and got a bit into it (then I lost it ), but nothing professional. It's on my bucket list though to take it up.

Surprisingly, I have a thing for trees (I am crazy about trees, they hypnotize me), especially against sky and have tons of pictures of them (although I did not take this picture; it was a sample on my computer and I didn't want to be an old man anymore!).

 

[Deleted member 1424]

Artistic trees > gender confusion

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

Word of advice Mathy:

Don't become a dino (you'll figure out what I mean soon enough) unless you want me to turn you into crude oil to fuel my grand machines. I have plenty enough to suit my purposes from the others around here.

 

[Fukyo]

*Ties up Cow and duct tapes his mouth*

 

[Cegorach]

I like where this is going!
But I'm not so certain if we should be doing this in public, Fukyo Dear!

 

[Deleted member 1424]

Actually you probably won't like where this is going. *Ties a couple of cinder blocks to cow's feet* All we need now is a bridge and a river.

 

[Cegorach]

Don't do that!
You'll make me all wet.

 

[Deleted member 1424]

eh? Did cog give you a XX body while I wasn't paying attention? Oh wait its probably the pixie dust. You know cow I might have to organize an intervention. Though it'd be a shame to lose such good fanfic material.

 

[Cegorach]

But whatever are you talking about?
Water makes people wet, it's a known fact.

Besides, you don't have any proof that I'm a guy, other than my word, and do you really trust ME?!

You can attempt to do an intervention later, for now I'm going to bed...
Feel free to join me.

 

[Deleted member 1424]

I'm already there

 

[Fukyo]

The kiddies are getting frisky.

 

[loveofreason]

This place is perfectly normal, mathy, I'm sure you can see that.

When did I get usurped as Jenova!?

 

[Deleted member 1424]

I thought you were Ultemecia? I did jump on the FF avatar bandwagon though

 

[echoplex]

(Does anyone else here find that Thinking and Feeling are not mutually exclusive?)

Welcome aboard.

I think it depends on how you look at it. I think it's very difficult, for me at least, to use T and F at the exact same moment. Usually either one seems to dominate that instance, with both alternating quite a bit over time. In the course of just one day though, I'm sure I use alot of both, with T dominating most of the "important" stuff due to my relative distrust of F.

 

[Da Blob]

Hello,
Umm Welcome!
Good luck!!

 

[Anling]

SHE'S LYING!

Don't trust Fukyo, she'll steal your pants...
Where did you think mine went?!

Pants are an illusion.

Hi Mathy. Welcome the insanity.

 

[loveofreason]

I thought you were Ultemecia? I did jump on the FF avatar bandwagon though

'sokay... I've spent half my time here being Mother, (and a bit as Sephiroth as well...) but never used her in an avatar. Yours is awesome.

 

[mathy]

Interesting. Looking at it that way, I do feel that I probably lean towards T--I think if an important decision gets made via F, I generally run it through my logic, just to be sure. Little stuff is either or, depending on my company and my mood.

 

[sagewolf]

Hello mathy. Welcome to our pit. If you survive your initial encounters with the more... eclectic.. members of our little community, I'm sure you'll really begin to enjoy being here. The trick is surviving, really.

 

[Razare]

Welcome, mathy.

I love to sing, and want to learn how to play some kind of instrument (something weird that no one else plays ).

Might I suggest a baritone oboe.

While not unheard of, I believe they're generally seen as unique.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oboe_concerto

Now those concertos may not be for the baritone oboe, but the higher pitched oboes could be interesting as well.

Your biography makes you sound like a renaissance person, so that would definitely make you an INTP.

 

[mathy]

Razare,

I was actually thinking more along the lines of some kind of middle eastern stringed instrument. I actually really love arabic music. Although I do also very much enjoy oboe, it's probably one of my favorite western classical instruments.

Oh if only I could really be a renaissance woman, how happy I would be.

 

[Ermine]

Perhaps an oud or sitar? I love those instruments.

 

[Ogion]

Ok, and now greetings from the only real sane person in here (me):
Hi and welcome to the forum, mathy. MAy you find interesting and enlightening discussions.
And may you experience that level of insanity, that you wish for...

Ogion

 

[loveofreason]

Ogion... you protest your sanity too oft and too loud methinks

 

[Ogion]

Uhm....I'm nothing against you_whole_lots open love for insanity...methinks

Ogion

 

[loveofreason]

That's so clever I don't understand it!

 

[Fukyo]

Ogion's completely insane now.That's just denial talking.

 

[loveofreason]

I think you're right... the big guy finally cracked...

 

[Ogion]

Hehe, this "denial talking" argument won't work with me. Jesin tries this all the time because he doesn't believe me that i am not playing "The Game" every time he looses again. It's just a matter of will though

Ogion

 

[mathy]

Haha, thanks everyone!

(Ermine--yes, I was thinking about an Oud or Buzuq)
