I'm not sure if this has been discussed before. Maybe I've even mentioned this on here before (my memory is refusing to work at the moment). For the last few years I have been finding it very hard to really enjoy pretty much any game I have played. They all seem so shallow. If not at first...

I've often heard people pronounce adobe with a stress on the 'e'. Why is this so? Wouldn't it be a silent 'e' as in abode? I've tried some Google searches but I can't seem to find the reason. At first I thought it was just the company name which was pronounced as such but the same...

I'm not sure if this is just a tendency of the people I associate with (in real life and via the internet) or if it is a tendency of humanity in general, but I have noticed that the majority of times I witness a conversation/debate/argument the party who remains calm and doesn't become (overly)...

What does a thief think when something of theirs is stolen? Do they accept it as karma or are they pissed off and indignant? How does a bully respond to being bullied? Are they likely to have an epiphany regarding their behavior? Do liars resent being lied to? Why? What sort of mental...

I'm quite a big fan of military sci-fi with some of my favourite authors and novels being; - David Drake - Republic of Cinnabar Navy series - David Feintuch - The Seafort Saga - Eric Flint - Ring of Fire series - John Ringo - Legacy of the Aldenata series and the Empire of Man series - David...

They are a Swedish ambient music duo. Just wondering if anyone here has heard of them and whether or not they like them. My favourite track of theirs would have to be either Abiogenesis or Photosynthesis. They think of the most unusual titles Does anyone here know of any similar music.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but I thought it was rather interesting. Memory Crystal

Within a group of rational people such as INTPs there are probably less stereotypical views of the outside world than within other groups. That being said, those stereotypical views we do have are probably atypical. So, a question for the non Australian forum members; What are the...

Discrimination - The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. Preference - A greater liking for one alternative over another or others. In many societies today discrimination is frowned upon if not banned out-right...

Just wondering if anyone is willing to share what they would consider the most arrogant statement they've (yet) made. Mine would be; "It's not right because I said it. I said it because it is right."

I'll begin by stating that I'm not wanting to debate whether or not the two are harmful. My interest lies in the conscience of the policy makers who are pushing for smoking bans yet refuse to consider 'diesel bans' despite equally strong evidence for each. Is it all about money or is there...

My ex used to always accuse me of asking 'leading questions' during debates/discussions. I don't consider them to have been so though. They were just questions who's answers lead to my hypothesis. I've recently been wondering if this is a valid tactic/method to be used whilst debating.

I can't play any instruments, nor can I sing (well), yet I find it incredibly easy to remember the music from songs I haven't heard in years. I've found that if I have trouble remembering the words of a song I just have to start 'playing back' the music in my mind and the words come with no...

Hello all. I haven't been around for quite a while now as I have been busy with moving from Central Victoria to Phillip Island and getting settled. Recently I've given thought to this topic and have come to the conclusion that many of our rights are being abbrogated or ignored due to the...

If an amoral researcher were to obtain a group of twenty or so new-born infants and isolate them, how long would it take them to develop complex language with grammar and what-not? For what percentage of human's existence did we not yet have a complex language? Would the time span (to...

I know this shouldn't bother me as much as it does (actually it shouldn't bother me at all), but I'm completely confused when it comes to pronounciation and spelling. This is one of my many pet peeves. Apparently there is no such thing is incorrect spelling or pronounciation and I just don't...

Hello all, I just joined this forum of fellow INTP's and thought I'd introduce myself. About 8 years ago I completed a Myers-Briggs test for a job interview (that I never got) and not only discovered that there was a name/classification for 'other's like me', but also that there is nothing...
