I have noticed that there are a lot of other MBTI types on this forum, which is awesome don't get me wrong. However since I have no inclination to go join forums centered around other types, I was wondering what the original motives were of the other types for coming to this forum, and what made them stay here. Are you trying to understand INTP's, looking for interesting conversation, something else, all of the above? I would love to hear your thoughts.

INTPs have the largest Internet communities out of all the types, and this is one of them. We love to write our brilliant thoughts on the Internet. All the other types typically have more important things to do.

Here is the ENFJ forum. As you will notice, it has a total of one post.

What if someone else has brilliant things to write but has the misfortune of belonging to another type? Well, that is what carpetbagging is for.

They all congregate at the intj forum.

I feel like someone is going to shoot me for mentioning that place.

No, I did not sleep with THAT woman.

I'm an ENFP and am here for all of the above and more. I love the way INTP's live and feel they live in the best way. Think about it, INTP's are often not wrong (they wouldn't let that happen, and if they were they'd fix it), they naturally don't let others get under their skin when insulted (which happens to me way to many times to think about), they are smart, unique (creating new inventions), and are just different from the rest of society (a breath of fresh air). I also want to learn to think more logically (deductive?). So I am here to observe, appreciate, learn, and practice being more logical.

I do want to stress how I love the inventions INTP's can come up with. I feel if the world were ruled by ENFP's or the like there wouldn't be many unique inventions comming around. The inventions would all be based off one another and never really 'new'.

Lost until Found, have you studied philosophy? If you want to be more logical it would help.

I have. But I took the class in high school and I came out only admiring Socrates, Plato, and the Socratic method. Do you think I should take it again? Is there more about philosophy which I might admire that i'm just not seeing?

Not really. If your got Socratic method down and you studied it a bit you don't need much more for what you are trying to do.

The INTJ isnt really an INTJ forum, much like this forum, it gets all kinds of attention because INTPs and Js are both a bunch of internet lurking creatures, and have the most topics. (like mentioned above) The only bad part is, INTJs arent quite as nice as us, the forum just gets mucked up and opinionated. Here we kind of just say things and move on, making it a more comfortable enviroment.

We are both monsters, but INTJs are more like werewolves, cunning and ruthless. We are like vampires, dignified yet just as bloodthirsty.

Dont mind the monster reference, i tend to be in rare form around halloween. :rolleyes:

Depends what you mean by the real ones, if you mean the original night crawling vampires as opposed to the new apparently special vampires like Blade and the Twilight vampires who can just run around all willy-nilly in the daylight, than sure. :D

Every time I talk to INTJs they start to get worked up over this or that. They rarely chat out of curiosity, and almost always out of conviction or necessity. Last time I looked on the INTJ forum the threads were just difficult to follow. I don't follow their train of thought as well as I can with other INTPs.

I love this forum because everyone here is so calm and easy going. Alleged "flame wars" on this forum are still more civil and interesting than casual conversation on most forums I've been to.

I browsed personalitycafe for a little while and was generally disgusted with what I found there.

@ Gopher - Damn right, screw the new vampires. Im sure you knew i meant that kind of vampire anyway, I wouldnt go comparing us to the new renditions of vampires. We just dont belong in highschool dramatic love story kind of settings. We belong in the dark, sucking the life from those we dont believe deserve it.

@ Moocow - INTJs cant help themselves, haveing such strong intuition, coupled with it being introverted, makes them borderline psychopaths sometimes. Naturally jumping to conclusions, making assumptions, coupled with extroverted thinking, can lead to diarrhea of the mouth.

When talking to my brother, i often just let him run his mouth. Its not worth trying to voice any opinions, he will either just try to keep going and talk over me, or stop and begin to talk shit about whatever i said. I tend to not say anything for so long that eventually i will start repeating back what he is telling me, but in my own words so he knows i am listening, just trying to be nice becasue i know he would be adgitated if he knew i wasnt listening. And he still ends up talking shit, saying that i am stupid and that all i ever do is repeat what he says. :slashnew:

It is actually pretty shameful, when i stop and think about it sometimes, i realize just how inefficient INTJs really are. He plots and plans the same things over and over and over. He has been planning the same things since he was 13 or so, with little change in any of the plans. I sometimes wonder if he is an ISTJ like my mother, who also blathers on about the most meaningless day to day plans, but hers are more immediate, and his are a little more distant. I often think that if i put half as much time into constructive thought as him, i would get twice the result... but it is such a mindless seeming process that i cant even begin to focus on it. So i cant deny that an INTJ still has the upper hand in the game of life, but they have a pretty inefficient thought process, they lack deductive logic.

I am an INTJ. I used to belong to the INTJ forums, I still do technically. However I cannot handle the mods there. They are communist bastards who are against any and all free thinking. The rules are too strict for big picture thinkers such as myself, who are looking for a place to put their free wheeling thoughts, into pixels. There are a lot of great people there, don't get me wrong, but the mods ruined it for me. I'm hoping to find more diversity in thought here, than what is found on the INTJ forums. People's thoughts there, tend to follow more along the lines of S types (respectively), as compared to those of N types. There are other forums I'm looking into also, however INTP's and myself have always hit it off it seems. That type prefers to leave things open, which gives me more to think about. :)So I sense that this will most likely become my new home. I'm looking forward the future debates that I'm sure my INTJness will spike in this forum. ;)

Welcome to the forum. Don't get your hopes up too much, because the mods around here are not always sunshine and daisies, either. Not that I have had problems, but don't be open-minded by being an arsehole to other people.

No no no The INFJs get to be vampires, cunning hunters with classy social graces.

We INTPs are Illithids.

I dont know about INFJs having classy social graces, at least not while i am present LOL. Maybe it freaks them out when i whip out my INTPness.

As for Illthids, i had no clue what that was :phear: so google saved me, and what i read sounded suprisingly like INTJs :rolleyes: "Illithids believe themselves to be the dominant species of the multiverse", living in their own cities of underdark?

Besides, if we are going to expand our options beyond Halloween monsters, wouldn't we just be wizards. :confused: No need for DnD octopus-faced monsters. :D

@Infrared - Welcome. Feel free to frolick amidst our endless pages of impractical babble. Dont listen to ApostateAbe, the mods here pretty much dont bother you, i have been here for a long time and never had any problems. People just dont care, in fact most threads just go off on tangents.

Dominant Ti is awesome. It's like being right is your default setting. Even at times when you're wrong, you always snap back to the most logical answer and have the flexibility to accept that and move on. I mean... how cool is that. Sure, Dominant Ni can give you amazing foresight and all that, but it also makes you batshit insane and leaves you with terrific migraines at the most inconvenient times.
:elephant:

No, really, I just find I have more in common with INTPs than any other type (though mostly just the cynicism and subdued insanity, yeah) so I come here to lurk. It's nice. :)

PS. Oh yeah, and the INTJ forum sucks.

I am an IxFP, highly suspected INFP. I came here because of Melkor, I've stayed because of the games and the interesting, intelligent posts and discussions you have here. And let's not forget the crazy side. ;D

Maybe it's because I've been here, but I now think INTPs are one of the best types. I like coming on here and reading everyone's thoughts. Yes, I'm a lurker. Be scared. ;)

Also, I find that I have a lot in common with you guys. Strange as it is, I feel at home here! whoo for INTPf~ xDDD
