Shit Piss Fuck Cunt Cocksucker Motherfucker Tits

[Harmonica]

This forum has a cooler color scheme than any other forum I have been on. I'll give it that.

Oh yeah, where was I? I am an INTP. I reckon I have some ISTP qualities, like saying the word reckon, liking action movies more than sci-fi/fantasy, being more down to Earth and aware of reality than some of you, enjoying physical thrills, kicking ass, etc. And I reckon I have some INFP qualities as well in that I generally understand people more than some of you and like the social sciences/humanities better than math and the natural sciences. (Also I am not a robot and think Data is lame. Come at me Trekkies.) And I reckon I have some ENTP qualities too, like arguing loudly, having some level of social skills, and being pretty quick-witted and sometimes totally off-the-wall. INTJ qualities? Eh, well I can be a stubborn, arrogant prick at times, but generally I think Js have massive sticks up their asses and are LAME. (Except INFJ women. I love them.) Yes, I know all about the cognitive functions and after some (mostly internal) debate, have come to the conclusion that the system is inconsistent and is not particularly accurate or useful for most things, except for some pseudoscientific analysis of motives. Don't like that? Too bad. Deal with it.

Anyway, now you know what I DON'T have in common with the abstract concept of the perfect, prototypical "INTP." I'm sure some of you, who for some reason take this whole typology thing religiously seriously and think that an archetype is the ideal thing for a human being to strive for rather than being a balanced individual, have already come to the conclusion that I am not in fact an INTP because I am not just like you. That's fine. I really could not possibly care less what you think, and I mean that sincerely. I'm mostly just here because this forum seems exponentially more chill than any other MBTI forum I've browsed. Don't let me down on that.

So hi.

Huh, see I thought this was an old thread with the same name. Oh well hi!

Yeah cunt you can even call other people cunts and shit. Fuck yeah cunt!

 

[Grayman]

Never dwelled, always considered.

 

[Harmonica]

Yeah cunt you can even call other people cunts and shit. Fuck yeah cunt!

But in all seriousness, I would never actually call anyone a cunt. Unless they were acting like a cunt. Then I would call them a cunt. But here I just didn't know what else to call my thread, so I defaulted to a summary of Dr. Carlin's Theory of Seven Great Obscenities.

 

[Harmonica]

Never dwelled, always considered.

Considered maybe for like a second. But cared? Nah. Never. I have a limited supply of fucks to give you know.

... fart, turd, and twat. I fucked your mom.

 

[Harmonica]

Come now. Canadians are supposed to be nice. Also, since my mom isn't a Latino transvestite prostitute you picked up at the bus station, and that is the only person you have been fucking, logic would dictate your assertion is false.

 

[Absurdity]

The dark secret of this forum is that there are few actual INTPs.

It's song lyrics; a childish extension of Carlin's seven words, I guess.

But what you wrote was a bit much. You go to the trouble of spying on me at the bus stop yet pay no compliment to my awesome new shoes? How insensitive can you get?

 

[TheScornedReflex]

Twat did you say? I cunt hear you.

Am I in the 'In' club now?

Oh, I wasn't actually there. I was just using my psychic abilities is all. All I could see was your internal perception. You weren't focusing on your shoes at the time. Believe me if you were I would have said something. I see them now, they look nice. But really man, you got some issues I would seek help.

No.

You've done your best to portray any number of types but not an INTP.

Are you an INTP? who knows? I'm pretty sure you don't know, but I suspect you're something else, I'd take a stab at ISTP, a close analog.

INTP and INFJ are the most over misidentified types, but are uncommon in reality.

Yeah, I'm not interested in your uninformed opinion as to what type you "suspect" I "really" am. If I was I probably would have asked and not explicitly stated that I wasn't. I think I know myself a little better than you do you see. I'm well informed on this subject, have been studying it for quite some time, have pretty strong opinions on it, and I know who and what I am. But continue being "pretty sure" about things that are wrong and taking "a stab" at wrong guesses. The ignorance of others always amuses me, especially when expressed so pretentiously and with unearned arrogance. MBTI is a highly subjective field you see, with lots of different interpretations and lots of room for individual variation within each type. (i.e. My strongest preference is my enormous Pness, so I'll be quite different from an INTP with a tiny Pness.) Who are you to say people "misidentify" as INTP or INFJ or whatever? If they test as the type, identify with the type, and feel it fits them better than the others, that's what they are and that's all there is to it. You don't have the right to tell them otherwise. You sound like you must really be a J. And yes the irony there was intentional.

Man, I was just waiting for this to happen though so I could say that. Thank you!

I'd place a bet on ESTP.

Damn, I keep typing people ESTP. What's going on in my head?

 

[Architect]

Let me guess, you're new here?

I'd place a bet on ESTP.

Could be, it's hard to place a person from a few posts, which is why I said "portray". The posts do portray an ESTP well however.

I don't actually play the harmonica.

Boredom.

What is your favorite position in carnal pleasure?

S'all good, man.

No, I'm a long time member with 13 (now 14) posts who started an introductory thread.

I'm pretty sure you're en ENTP that has misidentified as INTP

welcome to the forum

 

[Harmonica]

welcome to the forum

No man, I just have a bigger Pness than most of you apparently. I'm definitely an introvert. Also, have any of you considered that MAYBE some introverts online MIGHT come off as extroverted? An intentionally silly thread in an internet forum really isn't the best E/I gauge is it?

 

[Harmonica]

OK, you should have just stopped right there. Let me repeat: I know this subject. I'm not looking for someone to type me. If I'm coming off as an ESTP, it's not because I actually am one. I know it's tough for INTPs, but try to stop analyzing everything for a second. This is meant to be a silly introductory thread, not a "type me" thread.

 

[Fukyo]

Let me guess, you're new here?

tch.

For the record, people who have been here longer than you have opinions of this variety.




Hey Harmonica, you sound more spirited than the average member. Welcome.

Goddamnit man, I am not George W. Bush's type.

Oh finally! A welcome post that actually seems welcoming! Thank you. It's about time someone appreciates my spirits.

I think people are misunderstanding you. Maybe it would help if you changed the title to "Type Me".

You seem like a person who likes using swear words in certain contexts. This indicates Ne to me. It also seems like your choice of avatar is very clearly a result of Si who revels in playing on oral harps. Or coins. The image is a bit blurry. Your most prominent function is definitively Ti with all that analyzing you are doing. ENTPs with a strong Ti often mistypes as INTPs. Furthermore ENTPs tend to be very drawn to creative color schemes on forums. Have you ever come across a forum where you've been like "hot diggity, I sure enjoy them color schemes on here". If so, you are most likely ENTP.

Ah, makes sense. Sounds scientifical and what not. Can't argue with that logic.

But to be honest, I can't really tell if you are making fun of the kind of people who would seriously say things like that, or if you are being serious. If the former, forgive me, you understand why I can't tell given the nuts that hang around these forums. If the latter.... Anyway, I'll assume the former because of the "Type Me" remark and the general tone of the post. Also, if you actually thought Ti was my most prominent function but also saw Ne, you would think that following type "logic" you would conclude that I am in fact an INTP. So either you are just being illogical (unheard of for an INTP right?) or are not being serious.

Also, to answer your question, no I have never said "hot diggity" in my life and almost never pay attention to forum color schemes. I was just trying to break the ice and say whatever popped into my head at the beginning of my first post.

 

[Harmonica]

But really guys, you wanna know why I made such an inflammatory title? Look at the Introit forum. Look at the number of posts and views for the other threads that have been there longer. Now look at mine. Now look back at the others. Now look back at mine. See?

It was obvious what you were after the moment it was read hence why Architect labled you ENTP.

Looking for attention on an ONLINE FORUM is not the same thing as, say, jumping up on stage and grabbing a mic from Taylor Swift on national TV. The former is introverted attention whoring. (It's also smart because it gets you out of n00b territory quicker. Hell, the best part about this forum is I got to promote myself from "Redshirt" to "Captain" before I even posted.) The latter is extroverted attention whoring.

 

[Harmonica]

Very observant.

I guess you think Sherlock Holmes is an ESTP too, huh? See, this is why your interpretation of MBTI is wrong. (Though I guess I could follow that if you think both Holmes and I are STPs, that means according to the right interpretation you think I am an INTP because Holmes is definitely an INTP.) Also, based on your logic, wasn't my ability to intuitively understand that you were suggesting I am using "Se" in that post indicative of the fact that I am not in fact an ESTP and am most likely an N type?

You are all over the place.

Thank you? This is uncommon for (well-endowed) INTPs? Pretty sure it's not.

Look, I'll say it again: It's really pretty stupid and arrogant to think that from these few posts here in this context you can somehow determine my type better than I could from years of deep introspection.

 

[StevenM]

You did state (and actually quite patiently and kindly) that you didn't want to be typed; just to make an intro thread.

I apologize for ignoring your wishes.

Welcome to the forum, I look forward to seeing more posts from you.

Apology accepted. It's not like I'm some FJ who gets my feels hurt and holds grudges or anything.

But really, I actually don't mind it. Whether there's any objectively real "type" that we all inherently have in common or not, and whether some of us are wrong about our particular interpretations of this subject and whether it is actually possible to be "wrong" about something so subjective or not and whether my "INTP" is the same as your "INTP" or not, there is undeniably something that we all share that drove us all to sign up for this forum and engage in this thread specifically. And that is why I am here: To discuss stuff with people who have something in common with me. We're all crazy in our own way and have our own idiosyncrasies that make us who we are, regardless of what arbitrary typing system we create to apply labels to ourselves.

 

[Grayman]

Thank you?

I wasn't typing you. I was just pointing out that we already recognize your intentions with your title selection for this thread. You are getting attention but not the attention you wanted?

 

[Harmonica]

No, maybe you specifically didn't directly type me, but it's obvious that you were implying that you think I'm an E because you said that this was why others thought I was an E, even though that is fallacious because nothing I do or say in this context excludes introversion or points to extroversion, and because you are lacking a large amount of crucial information that I have that is needed to make that determination. (Awfully J of you don't you think? Yes, that is irony.) So I really fail to see your point.

And read my last post. I don't really care what kind of attention I get. With my thread title, I'm just getting my foot in the door and generating responses to reply to, the purpose of a forum, better than another "Hi all" post would have.

 

[Grayman]

Yeah, I am glad I am INTP. Most of those other types have issues.

"Irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."

See, I wasn't actually saying that I think all FJs are like that. I was just mocking the idea that anybody who at any point ever seems to show a trait stereotypically associated with a particular letter or type must be that type. What you all are doing to me.

So no need to get snarky. You're not going to outwit me bro. Dozens try every day and fail miserably. Don't become a statistic.

People both introvertedly and extrovertedly, sense and intuit, feel and rationalize. If one completely didn't do one, or the other, he would be quite insane. However, I am under the belief that one usually has developed into strength, leaving the opposite more vulnerable.

Intuition is very abstract, conceptual, and imaginative when developed into strength. Because it relates to the perceiving of things that are not readily shown as tangible; things that aren't 'concrete' enough, or 'solid' in argument, sensors may ridicule intuition as something idealistic, ungraspable, 'fluffy', or dreamy. It's a 'head in the clouds' type of perceiving. That's why leading N's seem to flock to things like theories of the personality, mythology, theology, spiritualism, conspiracies, deep philosophy. (<- I tried to account for both thinker and feeling intuitives).

The whole concept of a personality being dichotomized into sensors and intuitives is an abstract conceptualization from a strong intuitive mind.

There is nothing wrong with 'being real', and having strength in concrete, realistic, and practical views. It's a little something that intuitives might need from time to time.

Why are you telling me things I have already heard? Do I need to quote all the times I said I am well-versed in the subject? I am 100000% certain that I am not an ESTP. I don't think there's anything wrong with being an ESTP, but it is absolutely not me. It is far, far, far from me. (Well maybe not that far, but still pretty far.) That's the point. I made it clear in the OP that I was talking about all the ways I am an EXCEPTION to the INTP stereotype, as we all depart from it in some ways, some maybe more than others and in different ways from others. For instance, I have a very large Pness. Hence why I was being more silly and less serious above, though now you've brought out the more serious side of me. Though my natural state is definitely Playful with a capital P, I can certainly run with the serious arguments when I have to before retreating back to Pness land effortlessly.

And maybe my head is iN the clouds a little less than some of yours, though I am still definitely an N, and of course according to function theory INTPs should have a decently developed S function anyway, so I'm kind of surprised that some of you seem to be much farther out there than INTJs for instance, who should be more purely "N" according to the theory. You would think that following your logic, that would be either evidence that the theory is flawed or evidence that you are not INTPs and are more likely INTJs or something. Personally I chalk it all up to individual variation, which must exist in a population of 7 billion people. They will not all neatly fit 16 archetypes in 16 fixed orders of four abstract "functions" that somehow together control everything they do. There is no evidence that such a concept is true and plenty to suggest it is false. Statistics alone would do that.

But why you are taking these things that I mentioned in the OP and are trying to use them as evidence that I am not an INTP is beyond me since that goes against the whole point. I also made it clear that my particular interpretation of the system is one that is closer to a Keirsian or pure MBTI perspective than a Jungian functions perspective. Not a conclusion I reached lightly and out of ignorance, but after serious consideration and thought. Though even according to Jung I would still be an INTP, as I would relate more to the idea of "Ne" than "Se," and be dominant Ti. But that's not the point because one of my biggest problems with this method is that you can argue anybody is any combination of any functions and there is little consistency or reliability, nor is there a way to actually measure pure functions nor were they designed to be measured and used to type, which is why MBTI was invented in the first place. But that's a discussion for another thread. Also, you can come up with completely absurd typings that contradict the descriptions of the types and the entire original purpose of typing in the first place, like typing me as an ESTP.

Anyway, my interpretation is a perfectly valid opinion whether you share it or not, and one that two INTPs could easily differ on given the individual variation within types and the number of different interpretations of this subject. So based on your interpretation, you might think I am an ESTP, but I think that would be totally ridiculous as I defy the type in a number of hugely significant ways, according to any interpretation. I spend more time in my head than I do "doing" things and I am not exactly the most physically coordinated person there is. I am way better with concepts and ideas and words than I am with the physical environment and objects. I am not "in the moment" in the physical sense. I recharge alone with my thoughts, not in the company of others or from energy in my external environment. I clearly don't fit the ESTP archetype better than the INTP archetype; in fact I fit it much worse, so I find it illogical that you are cherry picking things I clearly said were ways I was an exception and using them as evidence that I am another type for which I would have to be a much greater exception based on nothing else other than a sarcastic persona I put on in an internet forum. (Why so serious anyway?) MBTI isn't about finding a perfect match, which is impossible, it's about finding the best fit. INTP is my best fit. I know this because I know myself much, much, much better than you do. You know me about as well as a Tarot card reader, and have about the same level of accuracy in your assertions.
