Words - After two years (almost, apparently: Last logged in Dec 2010.) Didn't know if I would recognize anyone or anyone would recognize me. I was just going to lurk and see what all was happening here... I think that plan lasted for two minutes. Anyway, thanks.

Name drop threads have value as far as utility... But I've never liked them because they're like popularity contests - which I never win and I dislike losing and being jealous. I have general rules of respect and showing respect. -Respect of Power or Hordes: I try to show respect to the people...

I've experienced all the options listed by OP, but the first two are the one affecting me most these days. It just depends on the feel of the community. There's a place I like going to that likely attracts more NF/SFs and they like chatting about mindless things and relationships, which I don't...

The simple answer is you don't. The complicated one begins with which philosophy makes sense to you and what kind of happiness do you want and what kind of misery or melancholy do you suffer?

I suppose it's like others have said. Working that out takes time and you'll probably have to develop the coping mechanism on your own. I've gotten to the point where I can write out or draw my ideas, but I look back at them and realize they weren't much of anything. Sometimes things become...

Have you learned why you want to take over or what you want to take over? It's better to just muse than to actually learn. Learning is bad. It's sort of like seeing a silhouette of something behind the curtain and wondering what it is and musing about it. If you step out from the curtain...

Wow, you have got to be kidding me. QQ Moar. Christ, this is amazing. Ignorance can't even be avoided I guess. Well w/e- going with it~ Uh, there's a site about classy. After that, just chill and stop stressing and don't up sell yourself- it looks lame. If all you worry about is how to get a...

Actually, I believe I've read this somewhere as well. As a matter of fact, I'm sure I read it recently in an older book as well. I'm trying to remember what the book was called though. Might have been Sexual Paradox, but it is an 08 book. I noticed how men's and women's magazines had women on...

That is the question though, What is "empirical observation" within bias, society, culture and so on that made them?

To some extent I have to think about this. I want more tattoo, piercings and such, because they appeal my curiosity and sense of aesthetics. In my own opinion I'm boring and ugly. I use to get compliments, but not so much since I've endeavored on my journey of this self identified sense of...

In my experience, you will want to have windows for school work. Especially if you think you'll ever need Microsoft office, including Power Point and especially Access. If you take any computer classes, if you need to use remote desktop... I'm using windows 7 and easypeasy at the moment. They...

Should I be happy? Am I not happy now? If someone tells me what happiness is, how to gain it and I realize I do not have it, then I suppose I'm unhappy. At the moment, it doesn't really exist to me- because I don't really need it. That makes me quite happy.

There are still a lot of questions surrounding any kind of trait theory and their exactness. But there are a massive number of assumptions people make when we even start with "science" and "fact." It's impossible to completely unravel it all at this point. I think psychology in its whole has...

Haven't you been on INTPforum long enough to realize, if given the opportunity, we'll go off on tangents? This thread should've been dead after ECS first comment. Food- people eat it. Being passed up for a table or ignored- irritating to most people. *I'm done btw. My humanitarian mode...

Not all women are like that. Anyway, I was going to say this has kind of detoured the thread, but look at the OPs post again, it's actually a perfect example. This guy is dating a girl for a commodity, her body. She doesn't match up with him intellectually or emotionally, she's 9 years his...

Good job, you unraveled the mystery.

LOL, this thread is actually getting better. XD JarNew- your post made me laugh. Craigslist FTW! Moar pot. This dude's just running around like a headless chicken. He isn't an NT, he's just mocking everyone.

I can't remember much from my gender studies class years ago, but I think around here I still have papers from it. I liked the larger take Johnson had on the subject, because it seemed to explain why the system is still referred to, why there are still issues, why the core of the problem still...

You're looking at individuals. Men and women are both mostly burdened by their own gender when being socially shaped. Males are more likely to be aggressive with males and females with females as far as social shaping. This is a lot bigger, it has to do with all the lies that males and females...

What is it? *He's not a very good troll. LPolaright- You can't trust anyone on the Internet and not to this kind of capacity. It is misplaced and bizarre. And he's just as selfish as the rest of us. He didn't legitimately ask for advice. He seems to think he's so important that we could or...

[Only In Japan] Japan's a magical place.

CoryJames, as nice as your commentary on the subject is, could you answer my first question: Who are your sources? *It's not like I'm asking for a bibliography. Just who or what told you the fact of oppression or apparent lack there of as you know it? One good source would be fine. I added a...

Who's research and analysis are you reading? It's not about men being pigs, it's about a system that's twists both and then sets them against eachother. Or does it just so happen that the media likes to talk about murders of women usually via men for shock value? And the images for both are...

I do think there are some independent learning systems for K-12. This last fall before school started there was a lot of advertising of an at-home curriculum on the radio and such. I couldn't figure out if it was net based or traditional. I think it would work if kids could have like rotating in...

He's still here, reminds me of Melkor, but at least Melkor stayed entertaining... *pokes with a stick* Read my edit BTW.

I thought he mentioned he was an INTJ? Einstein was an awesome guy. I looked through this biography about him and he was surprisingly chill. Zeldon, this isn't a fish tank. You jumped in with the sharks. You sure you're in the right place? If you're looking for an ENFJ to sooth you, you might...

Embrace you wild side! Away with forks and spoons!

It's random for the regional connection he wants. This isn't match.com or whatever. One of those sites practically advertised that they use MBTI. *And wait... why would someone ask INTPs for this physical connection?

Uuuuuuh.... Want a cookie?

That means nothing. Are you saying you're laughing at me? That doesn't make sense. I suppose you're just saying that you don't respect me or what I say in the slightest and for some reason feel compelled to make it obvious through your "sarcasm." The comment I made in itself doesn't strike...

Even though I will get into very long conversations with other nerds, sometimes it's frustrating and takes forever to get away from.... . . .

If you love cheese, you have a relationship with cheese? Of course, infatuation is under the umbrella. That's what Twilight was about.

Pffft---- Well, apparently he's locked in a box somewhere, where he can't get no satisfaction. He's looking to see if anyone would be willing to give him some it seems. I say if you're asking a random forum for this kind of thing, you might want to see a therapist and get over a bit of the...

Hm, I'm kind of surprised that many people encourage a "personalized education", but homeschooling is looked down upon. Most of the time it works almost like some kind of specialty or charter school. Despite what people might think, there are a lot of classes and events done in groups in...

If you're this desperate, you might want to consider seeing a therapist, they're paid to hear you out (I had one, they aren't bad). Otherwise, how far are you from Vegas?

nihon o daitsuki. But my avatar is Korean, anyway, welcome ... Another one from INTPc hu... ?Why do people come here thinking we'll know them from there or that any of us hang out there extensively enough to recognize them? The point of this forums is pretty much an alternative to INTPc. It's...

Haha, thanks Polaris. I've tried to put some Shakespeare into my repertoire. Specially the quote, "Brevity is the soul of wit." I still have a long ways to go. I like your avatar, it looks almost exactly like my cat.

Welcome. This forum has a lot of people fleshing out what INTP is and the struggles they have. It's a nice place to hang out. It's kind of like a support group I guess. I don't know what else one would call it, maybe a club... Then it seems there are those like myself, who come and go as they...

Hey, wb. I thought the big issue with INTPc was the mix of types and posers? Or are they just overly strict or something?

In other words, Love is an umbrella term for: acceptance, attachment, (fuzzy) feelings, romance, sex(ual interest), trust, admiration, adoration, something that you find cool or agreeable, mutual happiness and support? You can love a person, a dog, a movie or a book...and pretty much...

Laptop = Windows 7, Old Laptop = Eeebuntu, Netbook = Easy Peasy, Custom Tower = Windows 7 Even though I like the simplicity of Easy Peasy I need 7 for school and for games.

Well I don't know exactly what you're going through (other than your explanation, I mean I don't know what it feels like) and what your country's policies are beyond what you wrote. I know your country is in a "hot spot" (I think that's what they've been calling it). I sympathize with you, no...

Is this based on a real game? I want to play it....

I've trained on people before, but since I learned to play in guilds and groups, I don't do that anymore. Once you actually need a group to do shit that stuff becomes annoying when other people do it. If I were opportunistic my mom would probably disown me. She hates opportunistic people.

If most of the people here are insane, it stands to reason that we are not the insane ones. Someone mentioned pumpkin. Mm pumpkin pie...

It would be called homeschooling. However, if schools taught kids according to their MBTI, that would be amazing. From a basic learning perspective, it seems well known that there are at least four ways people tend to learn, visually, audio-visually, physically and audio. I'm not sure...

This thread (well up to Melllvar's post) makes me Lol, thanks for that. (I've been so bored. T_T) It's like you don't have Internet... You know how everyone looks different, because of genetics and stuff? Now think if we flipped ourselves inside out, would we still be different? People know...

It's impossible to type someone by a mood swing or supposed emotional disorder. It's not unnatural for someone to want to be seated... I know ESTs who'd do the exact same thing. They DO NOT get pushed around by other people. F*** that. If a man is so delicate he can't stand me eating with...

Hu... yeah... I guess that's funny... I guess they say taking advantage of stupid people isn't really wrong. There's always a good reason not to trust people.

I only dislike food when I have to think about what to make and then have to make it. Do like TG for the free food. I'm pretty use to how my family does the holidays too. It's not a big deal.
