Thought I might as well re-introduce myself, rather than jumping right in. Browsing through the members list, looks like a number of the more familiar faces and names have been gone for years. Finally got around to completing my first long-distance cycling tour this past summer, and I gotta...

I took a job as a bike courier in Toronto, figuring that it would be easier to train for my cross-Canada bike tour while working rather than training after work. Started the job on Monday, and today I had my first collision; not with a car, but with a pedestrian. Just as I was entering the...

I've been working warehouse and factory jobs for the past few years. Forklift, material handling, shipping/receiving. Combines short periods of problem-solving (tetrising 60 skids into a 53 foot trailer) with long periods of repetitive boredom. As mentioned by others, those periods of repetition...

I'm doing well. It seems I pulled a classic INTP move, and found myself in a relationship without knowing how it happened, but it turned out all right. She's been a fantastic stabilizing influence on my life. We moved to Barrie, which is located on the beautiful Kempenfelt Bay. We're about 1km...

I've taken a long hiatus from online forums entirely, but stumbled across an old link to one of my threads from the last time I was a regular contributor. Considering rejoining the community, but I'll likely just lurk for a while. Just wanted to say I'm back, even if I'm not necessarily...

It's interesting to me that on the day that I started reading through my Facebook notes, one of which linked back to INTPf and a thread regarding MBTI typing and criminal behaviours, I notice not one but two threads with recent activity regarding criminality. I'm going to head over and read...

Pallet jacks are already an integral part of the warehouse environment. http://wiki.vpa.mtu.edu/wiki/images/3/3f/Pallet_jack.jpg http://www.midlandpallettrucks.com/adminimages/Company_16/HS-0809-HIGH-LIFT-PALLET-TRUCK.jpg Or were you looking for something motorized...

Not sure if I already answered your question elsewhere... I'm currently in Newmarket, but have been all over SW Ontario my whole life. Spent a few years in Cambridge, some in Milton, been down as far as Windsor... Been seriously considering moving to Hamilton next, as I have a few...

I'm not sure that I would trust a machine as my doctor... unless you were referring to something like this. Beyond that, however, I agree that as time goes on, we should start seeing societies moving more towards something an INTP would be comfortable in, if not necessarily run by INTPs...

A lifetime total of 20 books read willingly is still much more than a large number of people who I've met will ever claim. Personally, I go through phases of reading activity. I'll have times when I'm reading 3 or 4 books at once, scattered around the house, but those times are offset by...

WHAT???? Please tell me you're joking... If not, where can I find these comments to see the idiocy for myself? What the hell is wrong with our educational system in North America that people don't know that a popular movie had it's basis in a real-life disaster that resulted in the loss of...

To be honest, I'm not into any drugs, period, but what this seems to be describing sounds like pure hell... why would I want to take a drug to disconnect from reality when a book, or in some cases, my imagination on its own, can create the exact same result? At least with books and my own...

Pretty sure the leap from luminous fish to loom was based on the word play here... 'LUM'inous=loom? Not sure which function would precipitate that leap though, as I've not done near enough researching into the whole MBTI/typing deal. Just saying... I understood the intuitive leap...

Am I the only one who finds it distasteful that James Cameron is not only once again trying to upstage the anniversary of the Titanic disaster on it's anniversary, but he chose to do it on the centennial? I mean, you know that most people are going to be all abuzz about the re-release of the...

But the sky really is falling, honest it is... why won't you believe me???
