Who are we?

[Julian]

Hey, I'm new here. I figured a place where I can make some new INTP acquaintances would be cool. I also find the irony in a collective of introverts, but I'm personally not as introverted as others, seeing as how why I'm here right now.

I hope I don't get bored of this and forget about it.

hey.. m intp but not crazy like many here.

Oh! Just wait. We were all sane when we started here.

Yeah, i was thinking of that yesterday. We're so introverted we seek out people almost identical to ourselves, or something like that :P

 

[Hengeo]

Hello, another INTP here, and if the map is correct, the first from Greece. I found the forum (and my MBTI) 2 months ago, joined 4 days ago, but this is my first post (typical P ).

I hope i find common disgussion ground with other INTPs here

Hey there, also new here. Yeah I'm an INTP too. Originally I scored INXP half and half on feeling and thinking but I figured out it's because I taught myself to understand more emotions around me. Don't ask me how. *shrug* Anyhow I'm a left handed female introverted drummer. The biggest contradiction you've ever seen. Music is surprisingly logical when you get into the theory of it and at the same time expresses emotions, something I have trouble with. I can understand them just not express/understand my own very well. I'm going to shut up now before I manage to make a fool of myself.

Oh and on the searching out others like us, I think that's because we like to run our theories by each other I'd suppose. We aren't complete hermits

I'm a left handed guitarist (amateur). I like F's, they seem so trustworthy. or perhaps the negative view of others is the problem.

Haha I'm not sure if I started out a T or and F but the T seems to fit more. I've grown up in a family of many different types so I adapted I guess. My F only seems to show in my music or when a friend has a problem. I also have that negative view of others. It's something I really need to work on.

Yay another musician! Here I thought I was the only one. It's not a common list for Ts so I guess that comes from my F half. I try to be trustworthy so I hope so. ^^

I should really go get ready, my ride will be here in less than an hour. Glad this is a pretty friendly part of the internet. Never been on a type forum before.

 

[Quaestor]

Hey all,

New here and thought I would introduce myself.

I've taken the abbreviated MBTI many times and always ended up being pegged as an INTP, even though I don't think the type completely fits me. Sometimes, if I'm in a different mood or mindset, I can test as an INFP.

I've even taken an MBTI-based inventory called the Colours system and ended up an ISFP!

So, I tend to see myself as an INxP who frequently leans towards the INTP side of the fence.

In case you're wondering what my user name means, in ancient Rome a quaestor was an elected official whose job it was to oversee the empire's financial matters and even investigate non-financial criminal matters.

Needless to say, quaestors tended to be people who asked a lot of questions and had a strong investigative bent, a common INTP trait.

Looking forward to spending lots of quality time here!

 

[Neonnicko]

Greetings all. I am most definitely INTP because this site http://www.typelogic.com/intp.html describes me like 100%. Haha hope to see some activity Too lazy to update my profile though I got homework to do >.<

intp here, and i'm completely off my face loony

 

[Malt]

Hi everyone, I am a 19 year old student living in Perth, Western Australia. I am studying economics and management as a double major for my commerce degree at Curtin University. I discovered MBTI last night and stayed up to 4am researching it and related topics ( apparently a symptom of my personality it seems ). I have never met and befriended anyone else like me so this revelation is quite exciting.

I particularly enjoyed the "You know you're a INTP when" thread as I was relieved that there were others that had the same idiosyncrasies that I do ( not that I should be surprised considering the size of the human population ). I look forward to exploring this board and joining the many interesting discussions it contains.

 

[Bezaliel]

Oi Oi Oi. My name is Jonathan but my handles are Bezaliel and Leviathan. Just got the profile all set up and made myself a snazzy new signature. Here's a test post to introduce myself and say HI to every one.

I'm glad to be among other INTPs. They say our personalities only make up about 1% of populations. I look forward to getting to know every one, if we theoretically don't know each other already.

Badass smileys you have here.

[SomethingWitty]

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for the past couple of weeks and today just decided to bite the bullet and join the forum. I'm 18 and I'm currently living in Chicago

 

[Alice?]

Hallo everyone!
Although I joined back in November of '09, I only recently started posting. I tend to be more of an observer than a participant most of the time, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try speakin' up every now and then.
Anyway, I'm a 19 year old college student pursuing an Astrophysics degree (YAY SPACE). Also, I think it's kickass that other INTP girls exist in reality.
And I'm totally in love with the borg emoticon and was trying to come up with a legitimate reason to use it, but I was too lazy so I'm just going to use it anyway.

Ha! So there!
(You have no idea how happy that made me. I giggled. Now my cat is staring at me.)

 

[Marbas]

Hello! So, the "you know you're an intp when" thread was so hilarious that it forced me to register. Forced! Forced! The laughter held a gun to my head! I don't even know how laughter does that!

Anyways, I have taken many many MBTI tests online out of boredom and score intp the majority of the time. Sometimes I get intj, and once I got infp. Which was a funny surprise. Although that may just have happened because me and my feelings are at least on slightly friendly terms. Also I am probably a bit more extroverted than most of the members here, in that I am kind of loud, hyper, and hang out with friends a lot because it's fun. But I absolutely MUST have my private time away from people or else someone is going to die. Anyways I identified quite strongly with a lot of what was said in that thread and am glad. Mainly because I don't feel like a weird little alien anymore, as that can get quite trying, it usually acts up when I am trying to force myself to sleep.



Let's see, so I am a college student of age 19, attending university and majoring in math. Math is pretty much my favorite thing in the world. Like seriously. I have entire notebooks devoted to it and will stay up way too late working if I don't stop myself. I also like weird music, horror, fantasy, and strange things. And vidya games. And improv. And and and...

Okay, this intro is way too long already.

Hi everybody!
i'm new here (and i guess this is kind of a introduce-yourself topic). i'm a 16 years old girl, and i'm pretty sure i'm an intp. Oh, and i'm italian, so sorry for my bad english
Well...i never know what to say when talking about myself...so let's just say i've been reading this forum for some time, and i find some of the threads very interesting, so i finally decided to join in.

(oh, i love these emoticons... )

 

[purpledog]

Ah!
Hi
*she said, assuming a larger than life size air of social confidence, and knowing full well that she'd already been picked as a fraud*
=what is it? how do i give myself away? hmmm dont go there now OK?
yep, right=
Hi everyone
*forcing herself to look as normal as possible and walking to the middle of the room where she felt exposed*
=why so nervous? you're amongst friends - they're just like you=
*yes, and i know how mercilessly i can attack someone who is just like me*
Actually for a long time i have been skeptical of MyersBriggs
*have been?...still am....but if i want it to be, it is as painfully close to the truth as the Saturday morning paper horroscopes*
And here i am
Once i went to a INTJ page, (i am a cusp INTP/INTJ - its like having Cancer rising) but they were way too busy admiring each others deft negotiation of imaginary piles of peanut shells in the doorways and alleys of each others minds
*when are we going to get down to it?*
I wasn't quite sure what i wanted to get down to, but i got bored
Luxuriating in the night i found this forum
Displacing time i mucked around with some photos and stuff
I didnt like any of them, but i got tired
=i said 'hi', now what do i say? i actually dont want to say anything about being new here, and i cant really be too 'hail fellow well met', after all i dont know any of you, oh crap, why did i come here? against my better judgement too. how am i going to gracefully remove myself? it wont happen will it? i'll abruptly say 'see you then' and walk out, sensing the incomprehension and derision and knowing looks on everyones faces=
See you then
it was good talking to you
its reassuring to meet like souls
i think
its been fun, catch you around
=always my most garralous when escaping=

 

[I'mProbablyanINTP]

INTP. Just joined last night. To my fellow INTP's: I'm honored to be in the presence of your mutual greatness.

Thanks, I am pretty awesome.

I just turned 22, I'm a male from Sydney Australia and I'm studying Media at University. I dropped out of high school because of an anxiety disorder and everyone who went onto tertiary education said I was too smart to just be a labourer, so I sucked it up and started introspecting the FUCK out of myself so I could remove the anxiety or at least control it.

I've never been on any medication and I'm pretty much the social standard for awesome atm. I can go anywhere and do anything, but I much prefer to just be thinking about things and relaxing.

I thought I was probably an INTP because I shared a lot of the qualities that an INTP was supposed to have, but I find I can turn on the extrovert switch as soon as it's required, just asking people questions and being friendly and making them laugh is pretty easy. I think my wit gets me by.

That's about it, I see a lot of younger people than myself here and I think that's pretty telling - you probably do a lot of introspection around that age. So don't worry guys if people constantly call you weird or tell you they don't understand you, or you yourself feel like you'll never really be understood by anyone.

It's your life, be proud of who you are, and don't EVER doubt your ability. We're predisposed to changing the world, most people don't understand that.

your brain is a weapon, use it wisely.

Im me and im INTP and im new here

INTP , male ****** years old , from ****** ... so yeah , that's me. *end of introduction*

 

[RecklessDreamer]

Hihi! I'm new here, nice to meet everyone! Now, I'm going to go search around the forums and see if I want to stay or not. (:

Greetings.
I'm INTX/INTP, aged 19, from Germany, and this is another of those uncounted forums I joined before reading any of the posts.

 

[Rast88]

omg me to its reall weird like i always get t just by like a couple more points than f and i . But i think we are just more in touch with our fe than most people. Most of the intp fits me but those descriptions may not actually depict all intps

 

[sombertime88]

i'm a biological experiment gone right..with a few quirks

 

[CowSavior]

I'm a fox

Kinda new here.
Stopped posting a while ago and made a new account
(Can't remember the older one.)

Apparently I'm an ENTJ *Shrug*
But I'm usually an INTJ... Today I'm just feeling social, I guess..
But the thing said SLIGHTLY extroverted. with like a 1 by it while everything else was around 50.

xD Happened before.

 

[Lostwitheal]

Morning all!

I'm sure it's morning somewhere anyway.

Stumbled across this forum by accident and thought I'd say hi. What's the worst that could happen?

Hey, where are you from? Europe or Africa?

 

[Lostwitheal]

Hey, where are you from? Europe or Africa?

Europe, though not continental Europe. Can you guess where I am yet?

 

[JoeJoe]

Europe, though not continental Europe. Can you guess where I am yet?

Hmm...

Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, some Danish or Norwegian island? I have no idea.

 

[Lostwitheal]

You're close with the islands actually. I'm in England

 

[JoeJoe]

England/Ireland would have been my first guess for "non-continental Europe", but there must be a bug or something, because you're actually one hour behind me...

 

[Lostwitheal]

I think that's right, isn't central European time one hour ahead of UK time?

 

[Toon Scheur]

OK, I'm new here and I agree that there are a lot of nut jobs lurking around here (must be the pre 20's age of most of you guys... used to be a nut job too at that age).

Well, I'm from Bonaire, an INTP in heart and soul (which is an oxymoron because INTP is all about reasoning). Of course I'm an engineer. Alas I'm 42 (seems like yesterday that I was 20) and I'm glad to find my fellow INTP brothers and sisters because I can't wait to beat you to pulp in a good debate.

Probably like you guys, being stranded on a deserted island like Tom Cruise in Cast Away must be a life long fantasy. As long there is some kind of way to recharge my DS or PSP I'm cool with it.

Peace out.

[dreamoftheunknown]

Hi,

I'm new here. I'm also, inescapably, INTP. [I have taken the test many times and have tested INTP every single time. Interestingly, while I was given the impression that over the years one is "supposed" to become more "balanced" in the various type axes, I've found that I've become more INTP over the years - I used to be more balanced, particularly on the T/F axis, but now, I'm not even close. I wonder if that's because the test has become transparent for me... Oh brother. A lot of back information that only an INTP would care about.] Love the emoticons!
