You know you're an Intp when...

[crippli]

-When you pick out the flaws in your argument before you even say it.

Excellent. Explains the low resonse frequency. Although a REAL INTP should take that into consideration, and design flaws into the argument for amusement.

Reminds me of the 'discussion' I had with my fucktard of a teacher a couple days ago about security. I wished I could have had a few minutes to marshal my arguments effectively. This resulted in a de facto loss, though I am still confident that I could convince him if I had time- time to counter his points successfully.

-When you're told that your family will be gone most of the next day so you plan to go to bed early and wake up just about if not a little after they leave in order to capitalize on the potential alone time.

-When you make plans such as going to bed early, but then stay up several hours later than intended.

[tepellian]

This is page 32 by the default format. I read up until mid-page 22 until I finally realized I just can't read any more.

I assume that most people after that point posted things that held a lot of the same underlying ideas, even if they match different personal traits (I noticed, and even enjoyed, how idiosyncratic some of these posts are, while still holding a lot of the same underpinning). At least they're good/correct ideas, and reading through them was somewhat interesting, because I am a match with much of it. I could actually empathize.

Anyhow, I found this place a couple days ago. This is the first thread in the forum I'm motivated to post on. I started taking notes, finally, around page 20 or something, rather than trying to keep things entirely in my head, but I noted the quotes on notepad somewhat absent-mindedly so I don't recall whom most of the quotes I have are attributed to. Hope that's not a problem.

When you wonder to what extent people are aware of there own mannerisms and fallacies and whether they're parodying themselves right then and there. When you ask them.

I wonder this too. I ask them too. I'm deeply self-aware, and parody myself sometimes for humor, which goes unnoticed because people lack the subtlety to see it; if someone asked me, maybe it'd mean they were awake and thinking.

You can’t but feel that rules just intended as a society-wide substitute for your own critical thought and good judgment and, ergo, don’t really apply to you.

"can't help but feel"? I don't think "can't but feel" parses; correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't "feel" it, I think/realize/understand it. But definitely. I never even regarded most societal rules as meaningful as a child, and with greater awareness I still don't; I go my own way.

132. You make intuitive leaps of understanding, drawing interesting parallels between unrelated topics.

ALL THE TIME. I used to wonder why everyone else didn't.

When you look at yourself in the mirror and think, "Is that really how I look like? Is that really me?"

I enjoyed looking in one mirror when there was another behind it, and I could ponder the apparent length of the repeating reflection. I didn't see the point of regular old uninteresting mirrors until I noticed that reflections actually appeared slightly different in them from what I see (in ways other than it being reversed), and then I could stare into one for hours trying to figure out exactly how it appeared to distort the properties of what I saw outside of it, or going off on some un/related tangent of thought. I wonder if someone watching me would've blandly thought I was vain.

When somebody asks you in the middle of a group conversation: "What's your opinion on this?" and it takes ages for you to actually come up with an answer because you don't have a side you take. (or is it just me?)

Not just you. I started to answer simply, "I don't have one," when I wanted the conversationalists to leave me alone, but when the question is worthwhile, I'll do my best to try to get them to wait while I think about it. Some seem to think it's worth it.

Whatevernumbercomesnext: Making a drawn-out plan which involves you doing something extensive and you forcing your will on others even when you know you won't do it and others probably won't listen to anything you're saying.

I don't like forcing my will on others, but I've done this with the general plan of getting the few people I'm forced to interact with to recognize certain..fundamental things/ideas/whatnot. We never get around to the discussions I plan because... well, there is never a proper moment. Their lives always seem to be busy with doing pointless-seeming things, and this seems to leave no room for thoughtful discussions.

I don't get how people get wrapped up in their lives without it being mentally significant in some way.

-You know it's futile to tell anyone some great idea or profound thought you have because no one will understand it.

I used to tell my notepad, just like this person...

- you have half your hard drive full of notepad files, holding you random thoughts/discoveries since no one else wants to hear them.

More recently I actually cultivated a few friendships online with people who don't mind when I type them out soliloquies on random ideas. One or two of them even do the same back to me, once in awhile. Not all of my friends are interested in replying directly to my thoughts, but in the end it doesn't actually matter for this simple function. It's a bonus when they can contribute/argue effectively.

You have way too many tabs open, but don't want to close any because you might totally forget about it.

I love my browser for *not* forgetting what I was looking at. Otherwise I'd probably never turn my computer off.

-someone says the word "system" and you immediately perk up.

I find systems fun to create, interesting to contemplate, see through them readily, and understand them as tools and useful frameworks. Language is an example; I don't always think in it, but I can usually use it rather well. This makes me great at grasping and using foreign/different languages.

It's also a refreshing change when I'm not the one explaining whatever system in question. :-P

- it bugs the hell out of you when someone uses the wrong terminology

Depending on how wrong it is, and how right I would have expected them to be, given context, intelligence, knowledge, and bent towards specificity.

It bugs the hell out of me when I would expect the person to be right.

- Your at constant tug-a-war with your playful and serious self

I think "you're" is in order here? :-P

For me it's more like people don't understand when I'm making a joke. I alternate between playful and serious kind of fluidly, but mostly tending towards the serious side, and my jokes, or the things I find funny, don't match what people expect.

I think that's been said a few times in this thread.

Wrong.
ESFJ and ENFJ are the ideal mates for an INFP.
The ideal mates for an INTP are ESTJ and ENTJ.
Still shudder worthy,huh?

http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP_rel.html

From way earlier in the thread. I noticed it requoted and realized I wanted to respond.

I can't imagine wanting to have a relationship with either of those types. I actually can't imagine wanting to have a relationship with most people, though; my friends are rare, and I haven't cared to think about intimacy with people in quite some time.

You learn calculus/symbolic logic because it makes you feel like a sorcerer.

Yeah, learning new subjects, especially systems, makes me feel powerful also. I like to consider new ways of thinking.

When I read I will drift off into thought but I'll continue reading and I'll find myself pages and pages from where I last remember being.

I think it's a rather strange phenomenon! Considering some part of me is still reading the book, but my thought is way off on the other side of the world.

What I meant to ask was if this happened to anyone else?

This has happened to me, but usually when the book isn't following what I think is interesting. I react this way to a lot of textbooks (and then I go read wikipedia or browse the rest of the internet for what I think is pertinent and interesting).

-When your sitting in class, and your thinking about how stupid and biased the teacher is, and how the education system is flawed.

"you're"? :-P

And then when they would call on me, I would have no idea what they had been talking about. But I would probably know the answer to their question anyway.

I had a lot of teachers who would try to get me to wake up in class just by shooting random questions at me. I'd answer and go back to whatever I was doing.

-When you stay up till 3 in the morning trying to understand everything you can about a topic of interest, and then your family thinks your watching porn.

Another "you're" in order? :-P

But seriously, my family always thought I was playing online games. They tried to forbid me computer access. (It became a game, getting around their newest restrictive measures, and it stayed that way for my entire residency there because I have parents who were smart and determined.)

INTP =/= clumsy...

Probably, INTP = that kid who bangs face-first into the pole in between the doorways in the hallway because he's reading a book or thinking about something else while walking to his next class. It was grade school. I was that kid. It happened multiple times.

Anyhow, I've been pointing out the grammar errors in here because I finally found a place where I can probably do that and not have it taken as an insult. I hope my corrections aren't offensive.

My own contribution, hopefully it's actually sort of new.


YKY'AINTPW:

you dislike unnecessary formality in works you need to read or produce because your thought process moves too fast and deeply for it.

...but you will still correct people's/your own spelling, and care a lot about structure and system.

The difference is that spelling, grammar, structure, etc., further clarity. Unnecessary formality, on the other hand, is superfluous and can even make things unclear (if you don't know the subject matter well enough).

Why did I just feel the need to explain that?

Did I just tl;dr? (I always seem to.)

Am I even going to post this? *hesitates...and does the usual editing routine*

 

[Jedi]

I hate those browsers. Days would go by and I could never bring myself to X any of the tabs. I eventually switched to Safari which doesn't remember anything.

You can also just have firefox start in a private browsing session/set to never remember history?

No matter, whatever works.

Yeah I figured there was an option, but seeing as my Mac already had Safari on the dashboard I went with that. It seems to run smoother too.

 

[Zionoxis]

What is sad is as far as the "Know flaws in your argument before you say them", I catch the flaws immediately AFTER I say them. At which point, I sort of just vent and hope the individual does not catch them.

Do INTP's have to be clumsy? I find myself to be overcautious about things and in return, I am considered to be the opposite of clumsy. In fact, when I spilled milk in elemetary school, it was the first time I had ever...failed at keeping things normal. With all the attention of multiple teachers (I was in silent lunch at the time) and everyone staring at me, I pretty much had a mental breakdown and my logic completely went out the window. In the end, the teachers cleaned it up and I was in the office for being completely defiant, I had mentally shut down and refused to do anything I was told.

Looking back, I almost came across as schizophrenic (I am surprised I spelled that correctly without spell check)/

 

[ObliviousGenius]

When you constantly use parenthetical phrases for clarification (at least I do lol) (get the joke there) (I did it again lol) (ok not funny anymore).

[Obrens]

Don't know if these apply to all INTPs, or just me. Also, I didn't read the whole thread, only the first Xteen pages and the last one.

- Many times you've been asked why you are in such a bad mood, when you actually aren't.
- People can't imagine you cry unless they've actually seen you do it.
- You argue for ages with your mom every time she tells you to tidy your room. The actual tidying lasts shorter that the argument.
- No matter how early you start preparing, you will always barely make it there in time, if you arrive in time at all.
- You've talked much more in your head than in the, so called, "real world".
- Although you may become anything (super-human, ruler of the world, national hero...) in your fantasy world, the key word here is "become". You can't just be an anything. There must be an explanation how you became such, and it has make to sense.
- You find your erotic fantasies way hotter than porn.
- Sometimes you're happy all day just because you had a great success in a fantasy of yours.
- People who communicated with you only over the internet consider you much cooler than those who know you in person. It's not that you lie about yourself or anything, you actually are cooler when writing then when talking.
- Your presence is usually so neutral that nobody minds having you in their company. Not the sporty, fancy or whichever group at school, not those much older or younger than you; not even your older brother or sister minds having you at their party. But they don't really enjoy your company either.
- When you're young, adults consider you very mature, and your peers consider you very childish. Well, it depends on how well they know you, of course.
- When everyone's talking and there's a loud atmosphere in class and you are not already a part of it, you start randomly yapping and yelling just so you would contribute to the loudness.
- You participate in the hit-each-other's-shoulder sort of games and go around school yelling "...und das Deutsche Volk Sieg heil!" at people.
- Nevertheless, your schoolmates would describe you as reserved.
(Okay, I suppose the last few are just me I think. Tell me if I'm wrong. )
- You find religious, atheistic, agnostic or whatever explanation about life universe and everything else to be very terrifying. Whenever you think about the essence of... you know, look above, it seems discouraging and hopeless. Yet, you think about it a lot. Somehow, for some sinister reason, you like it when that feeling of hopelessness hits you.

 

[VanillaCube]

Alright lets see how many of mine that I wanted to put down that I remember.

After three hours of reading something you realise that you are hungry so you tear yourself away from the computer and decide to make something quick so you can get back to your intersting topic, you grab a burrito pull it out of the package, put in on a plate and open the microwave... only to see the burrito that you made three hours ago already in the microwave staring you in the face.

You watch porn and find yourself noticing the way certain muscles around the pelvis move then find yourself studing the muscle and skeletal system of the actors, before you know it the pornos over and you forgot to jerk off.

After exasting all the other books in your house you decide to go ahead and read the bible front to back, just so you could know what it says and maybe one day it could help you in a debate agaisnt someone whos religous.

When you write a reply on the Internet you consantly go back and change the way its worded and add things in so much that afterwards its becomes a jumbled mess of retardedness and even you have forgotten its origional meaning.

When you want to take advantage of the nearly free classes that the Air Force offers but you just can't because every time that your abour to somebody TELLS YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE TAKING A CLASS... so you don't do it because you don't want that person to think that you are only taking that class because of what they said... (or is that just me)

And from what Iv'e seen here... If you feel the need to add (or is that just me)

When someone says "Hey, whats up" your thinking, why are they talking to me? What is it that they are trying learn by speaking these words to me? Are they looking for a certain response? Are my car keys still in my pocket? what kind of mood are they in? Should I make a random joke? Are they looking for sympathy? Why would they look to me for sypathy? Hey wait a minute? Where did they go?

when you know that you had at least 20 more things ready to put down here but just can't remember them anymore.

 

[ZithX]

# - When you can walk around and around thinking, for hours. And you have trouble sitting and concentrating because of all your new ideas, and ramifications and you go off thinking of something totally different.... and then you don't have a clue what you were working on.

all....the time

 

[Undeclared]

I'm pretty sure everything I thought of has already been said and then some. I got tired of reading after 25th page.

let n be the current number of INTp characteristics listed in this thread...

n+1: If you are terrified, dumbfounded, and slightly relieved about many if not all of the characteristics listed in this thread about INTp(s).

n+2: Your confused mostly because you read this thread in its entirety(or atleast tried) and saw that people posted your thoughts as if they were commanding you or telling you what to do, but you are aware that that isn't what you want to do anymore because they just said it so you try to think of another possibility and then you realize it's going to be a vicious fucking circle so it discourages you from posting.....or something like that. I don't know. I'm still feeling the side effects of it, which brings me to the next one

n+3: Your at a constant tug-of-war with yourself.

n+4: You get lost on a completely different thought while reading and still keep reading. (If you understand why this happens, you'll notice it happens with many other things you do as well, as if its a predetermined system in your train of thought.

n+5: You stop trying to think of things to post about INTp persons because you're thinking so much that it actually almost disinterests you, but not enough to keep you from lurking away still.

n+6: Even though you fit the perfect portrait of an INTp, if an official test were to tell you otherwise, you would be at a loss of what to think because you almost value your own personal beliefs less than systems that have been deemed viable; Even thinking of this kind of scares you or disturbs you in some way so you don't take the test.

n+7: If this thread was your first post.

n+8: If you question if you really are INTp or not and try to test this by attempting to put on one of your 'personas' so to speak into action without being consciously aware of it, but then you start pondering about how subconscious systems work and go off to search about things on the subconscious.

n+9: You don't care to make an intro because you'd rather just squeeze right on in and hope nobody notices and tries to make you say hi and introduce yourself or you get pressured into giving out your name/other personal info blah blah etc. xD (n+9.5: You take all of this into account while making your first post)

n+10: You can't decide whether or not you want to stop trying to think of new ideas simply because you like the way this numbering system is that you've adapted to.

n+11: It kind of irks you that I ended my post with n+11 rather than n+10? or is that just me. xD

 

[Agent of Chaos]

I wonder how many times I've done this....

Has anyone else ever developed an elaborate scheme for cutting off the power in the school/some other means of getting class canceled for two days? (Two days in most cases of classes that only meet twice a week. So If class is missed Monday, you have that day and....You know..)

LOL, It's been a while since I last posted something here but reading this reminded me of something I did in junior high.
I was in trouble (again) for being what the teacher called "a smart-ass"(meaning I was right again and he was wrong again). I was sitting in a room by the dean's office by myself and saw that there was a exposed multi-phone jack (it was for the entire school). Well, being me I couldn't leave well enough alone. So I decided to introduce some moisture to it (spit) and see what chaos would ensue. The entire phone system when ballistic as it shorted out. Every single phone went off at the same time and when it was answered there would either be dead air on the other end or total confusion as all parties that answered would think the other person called them even as they denied it.

I was able to do that twice more before someone finally figured it out and put the jack into the wall with a cover plate.

 

[Agent of Chaos]

You know you're an INTP when you read off random samplings of this thread to your SO and almost every time they say, "Yup, that's you all right".
And with my luck someone already said this.

 

[kkboss]

continue to add on

- You really enjoy while day dreaming
- You will have different version of your day dream
- Sometime, you will continue making your day dream from the previous one
- You hope your day dream will come true one day.

 

[Obrens]

- You really enjoy while day dreaming

- Most of the time other people think you spend doing homework or learning, you actually spend daydreaming.
- Sometimes your night daydreams (I know, lol) are so exciting that you can't fall to sleep.

- You will have different version of your day dream
- Sometime, you will continue making your day dream from the previous one

- More like drag the same daydream on for months,
- and then feeling great when you remember it after a few years since you stopped doing it.

- You hope your day dream will come true one day.

Hmm, I don't agree with this. I mean, of course it isn't going to become true, and I'm not even sure how good it would be for some of my daydreams to become true.

.

ALL THE TIME. I used to wonder why everyone else didn't.

well besides page 1 being mostly me just felt compelled to say this is me. it boggles the mind of people and i can never figure out why. my mom is especially prone to telling me how this confuses her to no end. my best friend also is normally at loss for figuring out how i string something from 30 minutes earlier in the conversation to what we are talking about which is made funnier cause he tries to out logic me constantly and usually fails miserably because my brain apparently goes into debate mode and just starts stringing crap together.

n+n+1:

you can sense a debate and perk up.

 

[kayne]

- You wish you had a charger, instead of having to waste time/effort consuming food.

- Your thoughts in one day, if all written down, would make an entire book.

i thought i was alone on the food charger idea

and OMGosh i would be scared to read my daily novels

but i will add one i didnt see to the first two pages:

- you say something only to be reminded 5 or 6 months later you said something because people finnally understand it and apparently take it as good advice. hell there is a talk or two ive given in church people still remind me about like 6 years ago yet ive long since forgotten what i said and it has long since merely be incorporated into myself.

 

[Zionoxis]

When you refuse to proofread your work as the thought process has already been reviewed multiple times in your head and checking for grammatical accuracy is not nearly as important as the thought meant to be portrayed. Of course you point out the grammatical mistakes in everyone else's writing.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

When, for over a month, you have been putting off a 3-5 page paper due in 10 hrs and you haven't even begun the inception stage.

[thelithiumcat]

When in a conversation with several friends simultaneously, you think of things to pitch in with, you speak, then there's silence, a "wtf"-moment and the conversation continues.

I can't tell you how much this happens to me. Almost any group situations (and even some one on one situations) that I participate in work out like this.

 

[Weru]

You go to any store to purchase items for a project, end up cataloging the entire store and trying to figure out ways to use many of the other interesting items. At checkout you have lots of items for lots of future projects but forget all or some of the items that you originally went to the store for.

 

[Zhakobah]

I love this thread so much. Most of these really describe me. It's weird.

 

[Essence]

you constantly come up with places to put things that you need to remember later.



You never check them and all of those places eventually get just as cluttered as everything else around you.

^YES

You say something to someone. They didn't understand, so you explain it. The explanation leaves them more confused than they were to begin with.

 

[thelithiumcat]

^YES

You say something to someone. They didn't understand, so you explain it. The explanation leaves them more confused than they were to begin with.

ALL the time. It's so damn frustrating. I think it's pretty clear to start with, but they don't understand and, no matter how much I comprehensively clarify, they never get it. NTs seem to be slightly better. I guess that's part of the reason why my two best friends are NTs.

- When you jump thought patterns and action plans so much that you keep realising you didn't finish something.

This one happens all the time to me lately. Just yesterday, for example, I got changed out of my 6th form suit, changing my jumper and t shirt but not my trousers until hours later. I seem to have particular trouble with written sentences. I'm finding it a lot in what I write lately.

- When you zone back in and are so unaware of your environment that you ask "what?" before realising you aren't part of or have no reason to want to know the other people's conversation. It's a question aloud to yourself just as much as it's a reflexive, ill-considered question to those around you.

- When you simply cannot connect with certain extroverts, or they with you. Neither party knows how to deal with the other's conversation style or how to talk about the other person's interests.

I know quite a few of those people. I'd like to talk to them because I do like them, but I am physically unable to. It's really quite strange sometimes.

 

[eshrdlu]

I'm a newbie, but I'll give this a shot, and I apologize if I am repeating any previous poster's input [these are incredibly accurate] --

117. You are positive there's no such thing as a "yes" or "no" answer.
118. Your most common response to "yes" or "no" question is "it depends".
119. You have gone on week-long, usually longer, information-gathering jags to resolve even the most trivial questions that get caught in your head.
120. faced with an order to take quick action, you are paralyzed by the hideous voice inside your head that whispers "why?"
121. You find that repeating yourself is tantamount to Chinese water torture.
122. You know exactly why the word "pedantist" applies to you.
123. You can find humor in nearly any tragedy and/or absurdity and have sadly accepted the fact that, for the rest of your life, you will continue to be outcast from any polite social group that deems your stifled laughter to be inappropriate 'cause you just... can't... help... yourself....

 

[eshrdlu]

Apologies again -- the numbering I used came from *somewhere*

By the way, I am thrilled to see that I am not the only one for whom certain conversations cause me to go into a trance. I hope to god no one asks me any follow-up questions, or for my advice, but of course they do.

 

[BigApplePi]

There it depends. if you ask me, "Are you going to do such and such?", I will say, "Maybe." If you ask me, "Have you done it?", I will answer yes or no depending on my confidence in having dood it.

117. You are positive there's no such thing as a "yes" or "no" answer.

123. You can find humor in nearly any tragedy and/or absurdity and have sadly accepted the fact that, for the rest of your life, you will continue to be outcast from any polite social group that deems your stifled laughter to be inappropriate 'cause you just... can't... help... yourself....

You have no idea how many times I've been kicked out of a group for laughing at "the wrong time" or too hard. Heck, I laugh at myself laughing...

All the time. Especially from my ESFJ mother. It's ridiculous.

Also is it just me that gets really put off, annoyed or disappointed when something goes and ruins something with incorrect terminology? For example, "Children in Need Rocks Manchester". There's nothing 'rocks' about it - it's 'popular music'. It's not just that, but I happen to be watching it at the moment so it's the example to hand.

 

[blarg]

When after a long performance at a concert you can't tell whether the audience is applauding loudly for that performance or it's the relative effect of not hearing applause for a while.

You stare at a word for so long that it seems unfamiliar and doesn't make sense.

You interpret an alternate interpretation of a joke and it takes you five minutes to finally realize the original punchline.

You're not sure if any of what you're typing here has already been posted, but you're too lazy to check.

While sitting on the toilet, the answer to something you were thinking about five days ago pops up crystal clear.

You cringed internally at the misplaced participle in the previous sentence.

[ransomNote]

Sorry for the red ink, trying to make a dashing entrance

i only skim some of the posts, so...i'm gonna go with my gut feeling and pour my thoughts despite it being said before:

1. We are obsessed with the unknown, and bored of the known.
2. Its hard for us to not complicate things.
3. We always said the opposite that what people want us to say, even for the sake of that devil's advocate status does ring a bell. Its always make people around me go nuts.
4. Guilty of finishing peoples sentences. I never really thought this was offensive until my senior year of high school. Now trying to avoid it as possible, but...well, its like a hobby I think? I never get tired seeing those annoyed faces.
5. I have the awareness of a barnacle, or any other simple organism.(I use the term 'I' because I think that is not suitable for all INTPs)
6. I'm very rude, I don't choose my tone of voice very well, I only have to breaks, very loud, or very soft(mumbling like). And I don't see my opponent by their age, way of talking, appearance, or any of that stuff. So people get confused sometimes.
7. I am very emotional as I am very detach.

So on
So on
So on

That's all I could think of ...

0: ...you think you find a pattern in the answers to an SAT-style test, and then are certain you made a mistake when a new answer breaks your pattern. (If you happen to be relatively certain of that particular answer, you will modify your pattern to fit, making it wondrously complicated if necessary.) Of course, you still somehow manage to finish the test in the allotted time...

-1: ...you cannot bring yourself to make your first post contain only one concept numbered "0" because such a numbering scheme is less interesting than it could otherwise be; and, as an afterthought, there might be some social stigma against a post containing a single thought. Yeah, surely the social stigma is why I did not stop at just "0"...

-2: ...you often realize in your editing process that the latter concepts are far more abstract than the former, try to determine if this truth could somehow be applied to whatever it is you are editing, and then recognize that any attempt at doing so would actually support the trend of increasing abstraction. You find that you cannot help yourself...

-you have a love/hate relationship with the concept of infinity

-everything theatre scares you

-you put off doing laundry until its absolutely necessary

-you've classified cooking as an 'S' pastime. cooking for us is figuring out to turn the microwave on

-directions and instructions of any kind are utterly useless to us

-when introduced to someone new, you can't remember their name 3 seconds after shaking their hand

I've never been able to put my arms around that.

-everything theatre scares you
I'm terrified I will miss my lines

-you put off doing laundry until its absolutely necessary
Why is it necessary?

-you've classified cooking as an 'S' pastime. cooking for us is figuring out to turn the microwave on
There's got to be a theory about that

-directions and instructions of any kind are utterly useless to us
Why can't I just be here and be done with it?

-when introduced to someone new, you can't remember their name 3 seconds after shaking their hand
Names are for 'S' people.

Remember when we intended to catalogue, edit and numerically number and list in a single document, everything in this thread?


Yeah, that idea is pretty much screwed now.

Let it die already.;-;

When you are positive Melkor has not learned the proper way to beat a dead horse.

Laundry is only necessary because SJ's would yell at us for wearing the same outfit 7 days a week.

I've determined my problem with cooking is this: I never want to think about food until its absolutely necessary and by the time its occurs to me its time to eat, I have no patience to sit around and watch S's on the Food Network talk about how to make a recipe that will take 3 hours of reading directions in which to create. And thus, the INTP has an S moment: "I WANT DINNER NOW!"

BigApplePi, I'm worried about your saftey. Have you ventured in the land of ESFX and taken up trying out theatre?
