Hmm... I don't know about the Fe. I don't necessarily have the "must progress mankind" instinct that INFJs possess, nor is my Se so well developed as it used to be - it only comes to light when I'm with friends as opposed to family. I have a pretty good perception of the people around me...

The trouble with this particular explanation is that if I have suppressed one type with another, then in this particular instance, the object is to avoid people who I'd very much not like to deal with. This same group of people is the same group I'm exposed to on a daily basis. However, when I'm...

Basically, I was an ESTP before my mother took me out of school and began to home-school me. After she took me out of school, my Se began to be suppressed beneath an immense Ni tendency. Due to my lack of things to do and new people to meet/compete with, I began to become more introverted and...

See... It's like the "sitting on the rock with their brow furrowed" illustration you used in an above post. The Te sits on the rock with their brow furrowed while they proactively think up a solution, which they obstinately use despite the many variables which may be introduced to the situation...

So... What this article (and you) are saying is that an INTP relies more heavily on inward thinking to take action and solve outward/perceived problems? If so, I would have to think on that a bit... INTPs are not so abstract as some thinkers (Te-oriented), who think just for the thinking...

Meant to, actually. :D But, seriously: I'll fix it. Can't have people avoiding me due to my love of GIF signatures, haha.

My most humble apologies. I found it on an authors' page describing how to publish a book, and as I myself danced in such a manner when I learned that one of my stories were going to be publish in an anthology, I couldn't resist putting it in my signature, haha. I'll change it, as I'm sure...

I've actually wanted to go hiking through several of the Icelandic national parks for quite some time now. The scenery is gorgeous, and the language of the people is something to marvel at in itself. Not to mention the cold weather is great: I hate summer, and would actually prefer that it never...

Yup: He's calling you a bot. You may have to enter into some sort of debate to prove otherwise. :phear: Cool music, by the way. It isn't usually what I listen to, but sometimes a break from the normal is interesting. It has a very ethereal, futuristic vibe to it.

Alright, then: Any thoughts on using confusion as a defense mechanism? I.e., when you're so confused in a social situation that you resort to confusing the other person(s), in order to bring about a conversation on more equal ground?

Agreed. :phear: I experienced the same thing my very first day of high school. I threatened to turn someone's hair green for making fun of my blue hair, describing exactly how to do it with the various chemical's in my homeroom teacher's chemistry lab. He tried to keep up, failed, and ended up...

Confusing people: Do you like to, or no? I, for one, am an INTP who would prefer to disassociate with the bulk of the human populous, except for those instances wherein I may completely bungle peoples' minds and (hopefully) either embarrass them or identify another intelligent life form. When I...

It's a fairy, and obviously it remained unnoticed because it is a magical creature. :D Wait, no: The mystery of gnomes and their relation to pointy hats has finally been solved. Oh, dear. I'm gonna stop now.

Look at the previous week - or typical week or month if the most recent was atypical. What were you doing most of the time? I was on my computer most of the time, either writing or researching or just looking at various things. Otherwise I read, hiked, walked, jogged, slept, ate, and breathed...

I find beauty in surprising, out of the ordinary places. Beauty is when something catches me entirely off-guard, when something is unexpectedly different. It jolts me out of my head for all of five seconds, or longer if it's truly amazing. For instance, if I'm walking through a town and see...
