INTP Group On Facebook

[LoveofINTP]

I discovered this group yesterday while reading up on characteristics of an INTP (an hobby of mine), the link to the page was posted at the end of the article along with other sites of interest for INTPs, this site being one of them.
Some of you might already be aware of this group but here it is;

Your link is broken (:



Welcome. I too enjoy INTPs immensely.
Though I can't necessarily say they
enjoy me too much (;

 

[LoveofINTP]

*Link fixed*
Is it even possible for INTPs to not enjoy each other? They are so rare and different that finding people of like minds gets them more than a little excited.

 

[Cogwulf]

I just looked and I'm already a member

I really can't remember joining it...

Ohh Bird, I enjoy you.

That sentence sounds pretty damn creepy. o_O

I searched LOI in Google to see the acronyms but I suffered form a Lack of Interest because of the Lack Of Information and it wasn't high on my Level of importance anyway. However thanks for the link. You wouldn't be related to LOR aka love of reason in anyway?

 

[cheese]

Welcome you creepy little thing.

*feels molested*

I'm not really sure what a facebook group could offer that isn't already presented by this forum (and then some), which has far more and better functionality than facebook groups in almost all areas, so it would be my impression that members of that group should really be immigrating here, not the other way around.

On the plus side, at least Claverhouse probably isn't selling all our info to the highest bidder for purposes of targeted advertising. Unless that's actually the master plan behind this place: a ready source of INTPs to be analyzed by whatever marketing firm is willing to fork over the most cash. Clearly you just can't trust anyone these days.

 

[Jesse]

Actually I would be interested in INTP spending.

That was cool. . . . . . . . . .and no, I am not related to LOR in anyway, but I like her, she's that nice INF* right? (yes, I lurked for sometime >.> )
Mellvar, I know that the facebook group is very similar to, and not even as good as this place but I just thought you guys might want to hang out there sometimes, when you log into facebook.

 

[gruesomebrat]

Been there, done that, got the... hey, wait a sec...? I didn't get a T-shirt from that particular online tourist location... hmm, I suppose I'll have to return some day to complain.

I'd say the only thing that the Facebook group has that's better than this forum is their pics. Granted, we have a couple of threads that are dedicated to funny pictures and such, but it can be difficult to find those threads if one is unfamiliar with the layout of the forum, whereas the Facebook groups pics are relatively easier to find. Beyond that little divergence, though, I have to agree that INTPf is considerably better.

yeah that's her don't know where she has gone though... At first I though your were her.

 

[opheliaesque]

^ええとね、これは英語なフォーラムで。。。どうして日本語を書きますか。れんしゅやtrollですか。

If I had a facebook, I would join. |D Forums serve me better, I find.

 

[YuniYasha]

Don't join it. I am a member of this Facebook group and also a "Underground" private group it spawned but both are infected with E's and F's causing a lot of drama and bull shit. The underground group was made to fix the E and F bull crap but the creator of the underground group seems to be a ENFP pretending to be a INTP and added all the trouble starters to the underground group.

 

[YuniYasha]

I mean, you can join it if you don't mind that bull crap drama but if you don't enjoy that stuff don't join it.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble on this, but almost no one on any typology forum and/or community anywhere is what they think they are. INTPforum is no exception.

Bubble not bursted. I never said anything about anywhere being perfect, just that this one place is severely flawed. Would rather give other people some knowledge that may or may not affect their decision to enter a community that may or may not bug the crap out of them.

What's INTP Forum has to do with it?

Exception*

No no no, I am not talking "Not perfect"

Not perfect means like, what, 90% accurate? Eh, not perfect, but close enough, right?

No I am talking like 10% to 20% at best. It is pretty bad no matter where you go. It is not the people, it is the system, MBTI just really really sucks...

 

[YuniYasha]

I am confused. The problem I stated above is (self-admitting)E's and F's infiltrating INTP groups and causing a mess. What does that have to do with the MBTI system being flawed? Sure it's flawed but I'd prefer follow it then the Zodiac system for categorizing people. It's 3:41 AM here so be gentle, perhaps I might be able to process this better in the morning.

I do believe he's using this as an opportunity to begin "discussing" pod'lair...

 

[YuniYasha]

I would be interested in the flaws of the MBTI system and perhaps a systems that could surpass.

 

[Cheeseumpuffs]

I would, too. But every time I try to understand what pod'lair has to offer over MBTI they give an impassioned speech that reveals nothing substantial and does a lot of deflecting. Also they use gibberish words that make it almost impossible to relate to or understand what they're trying to say.

Right.

I am saying it is not so much other types are "infiltrating" (interesting choice of words) these groups, because that would suggest your stock was pure at some point in the first place, and some naughty E's and F's came in to ruin it for all of you.
The problem is people believe they have a certain cognitive function configuration that they do not really have, right? Well people not knowing themselves well is really only half of the problem, because they really shouldn't have been expected to. The problem was making an entire system that hinges on people having to know themselves, as well as how they would fit into this system, despite the fact that there is no guarantee that having a certain cognitive function configuration is going to mean being aware that you are supposed to work that certain way. In addition to making a system in which all configurations are defined by one-dimentional archetypes, which humans are really just not. For all you know, those E's and F's that are ruining the Facebook page really are INTPs, maybe you are the one that is not an INTP, how would you know? Because you believe you match up to that description, and they don't'? Perhaps they are just acting in ways that those short descriptions you read on how INTPs are "supposed" to behave was not enough to capture these creatures in their fullest of shades. How would you know how to tell the difference between that, and someone who is just not an INTP?

No one in MBTI does, that is why the system sucks, and that is why everywhere you go in the typology circuit, very few people will actually be what they say they are.

Lucky for you, I have already written a 14 page paper on it, here you go.

Ugh, I don't think this will bode too well for my short attention span. Not summarizable?

I am too tired right now. I will get back to you on this tomorrow. Can only think about how I am just a silly great ape right now.

Really? You are still not clear on that?

That is an interesting way of wording that question, because it assumes you are already getting something from MBTI. What does MBTI offer you exactly?
Because all I can think of that MBTI offers is confusion, Fourier effect, and a false sense that you are actually doing something.

Does it offer an accurate way of Identifying the Cognitive Configuration of other humans?
-Hell No. It offers a retarded test. (Edit: I don't think most of you guys apprieciate just how critical this is. If you cannot accurately identify a cognitive configuration in the first place, then it does not matter what you theory says, all of your calculations will be off. All of your descriptions will be irrelevant, all of your advice about anything will be unusable, all of your statistics will be warped. You literally cannot do anything, and cannot trust a theory that cannot even get this oh so basic step right.)

Does Pod'Lair?
-Hell yes, and in addition to just accuracy, it offers the Five Gears of People reading, a methodology in which you can physically SEE the Cognitive Configuration of a person, as well as how they are using it, and how well they are using it, as well as what functions they are concentrating on at any given time. That is pretty bad ass no matter how you slice it.

Does MBTI offer a methodology in understanding how different Cognitive Configurations dynamically interact (Romantically and/or otherwise)?
-No, but Pod'Lair does (Social Alchemy), combine that with People reading and you can use the two in tandem in real-time, again, pretty bad ass.

Does MBTI offer a methodology in which one can use to actually develop themselves?

-No, but Pod'Lair does. (Peak Pathways)

Those are just three examples, but the applications are numerous, and I haven't even gotten into the other Seven Pathways that make up Pod'Lair.
If you are serious about actually wanting to read more about it, I would highly recommend checking out our new front page, it has already gotten good reviews from previously unsatisfied INTPfers.

hmm... I think I phrased that wrong. I didn't mean to imply that MBTI had something to 'offer.' I was just trying to say that every time I've seen someone say how much better pod'lair is than MBTI they never gave reasons. This is helpful and I'll check out your new front page once I have time. Thank you for not seeming like as much of an arrogant douchebag as the usual pod'lair type people are.

Definitely interesting... also definitely much more helpful than the usual pod'lair posts.
