I've had a few friends recommend that I start a journal. I've been considering it, since I have a few spare notebooks.I guess I would use it to practice writing, and I can sort out my random thoughts on paper. I'm still not entirely if I want to and don't really know what I would do with one. Do...

I can't see a number either, although I kinda see something like a 4 on the left side. It might be one of the tests where you can only see a number if you are color blind. My sight is pretty normal, aside from the nearsightedness. My deficient is in my sense of smell. I only learned that butter...

Whirlwind of a ride for damn sure. Well the recovery hasn't been timely, but it's getting better. I'll be careful Oh yeah definitely. I've been building strength in the muscles for the past week and a half. My master at the martial arts school I go to (incidentally where I got injured...)...

Hi everyone, I'm back after being gone a little while. It was about a year I think. Not sure if anyone would remember me, I wasn't very active. Anyway, life's been a bit strange. Graduated college a few months ago, still trying to figure out what exactly to do with my life, and am recovering...

I only know one confirmed INTP, and he is traditional Catholic nutcase.* He tests INTP on the tests he's taken multiple times. He got INFP once, but that's probably cause he was in a grip experience at the time. Occasionally it comes up in conversation that he and I have similar mannerisms...

This is one of the few that does it for me: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8kZg_ALxEz0

I scored 9/20. I remember taking another test that had only eyes. I scored in the average range for that one.

Hope this helps: -Albert Einstein Ethics is also very important.

Help him because you can or help him because you want to. Don't do help him because "you should." Awesome article. I'm going to do something with my life now.

There was also a BBC series that got some contemporary philosophers together to explain the history of philosophy to a lay audience. I think you can find some of the episodes on YouTube. The Socratic dialogues are always a good place to start. I'm not really a fan of Plato's later works (like...

Yes the author (like most people) overplays his intellectual hand. It happens so often really that I just automatically ignore the overblown parts and take on the actual thesis. If you dismiss an author out of hand by this reason alone you would have a tiny canon of acceptable works that we...

I feel that you are an ISTP Watch this video and tell me which description you identify with more: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BwHFjtBoxEI&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBwHFjtBoxEI

Occam's razor should be functionally the same when used properly. I just prefer Einstein's razor more for two reasons. In my experience, oversimplification are as dangerous (and common) as overly complicated explanations. The other is that Einstein razor has two instructions in one quote. More...

A bit of a slip up with you gender neutrality don't ya think?

Not necessarily, the religion of Shinto in Japan believes that everything has a "soul." Even leaves supposedly have "souls." Although Shinto worshippers call them Kami, it seems functionally the same to me. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kami Back to the OP: Philosophical debates tend to...

Not sure how much this contributes to the Ti vs Te discussion, but here goes. Here's an article I spotted recently that mentions it: (the stats seem a bit off though.) I'll add my own thoughts later.

Not sure if this article belongs here or in human relationships. Although the focus is on relations with people, it goes in depth regarding what it means to be an INTP. So I'm posting it here. Ignore the picture in the beginning. It doesn't really help clarify anything in the article...

Two other analogies I like are: 1. Ne is a crazy fractal patten while Ni is a multifaceted diamond 2. Ne is a river that rapidly branches into various tributaries while Ni is the freaking Amazon, one large stream of water. I guess we often score high with Ni in cognitive function tests...

Hmm, the last three posters (including me) comment on the Ni results. Maybe those questions could use changes. This is very true. It's why we are interested in stuff like the MBTI in the first place: to learn more about ourselves. To the Op: looks like you have an idea for a test curtesy of...

Celebrity types said Susan Cain is an extrovert. :facepalm:I really question their typing methodology. However, their articles about typing theory are pretty interesting.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Plato: XNTJ Seneca: Which one? Shakespeare: *shrugs* hard to say. I've read Hamlet, Macbeth, and the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, which is not nearly comprehensive. One can't really limit the available when typing people. Franklin: ENTP is possible Thoreau: IXFP (probably N) McLuhan: don't know who...

Ceteris Paribus, no. I would hate the lifestyle and especially being stalked by the paparazzi.

I'm getting the XNFP vibe from you. Since you seem to self identify as an extrovert, I'll vote ENFP.

*eyes roll* You ENTPs love your audiences.

When the MBTI first came out, early statistics gave 66% extrovert, 33% introvert. Myers realized after gathering more data that this is in fact incorrect and it is more 50-50. Highest relatively reliable statistic I've heard is 43-57 E/I. Source: Introvert Power by Laurie Helgoe Ph.D. Lol...

How are introverts few in number? I found ENTPs seem to be the most introverted of extroverts. Their Ti allows then to spend some time alone and think, something introverts really appreciate. ENTPs, unlike most extroverts, acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with introversion. Us...

I never been very good with socializing of conversing with people who are not close friends. I'm just very poor at it. Most of the time, I feel like this :ahh04:. I'd imagine that since INTPs extrovert intuition, Ne would be the best place to improve so I could be more sociable (or at least...

I think an INTP would plead "But Logic!" An INTJ would say in calm tone, "Its logical and you're an idiot for thinking otherwise."

Most people believe that chess players must be NTs. In reality I am not so sure. Usually being an N or a T will help, but having both is no requirement for being a great player. Bobby Fischer is a case in point for why having N as dominant or auxiliary function is not necessary. He is an Si...

Actually no. I found out about him the usual way (Wikipedia surfing) and then read some of his page on wiki quote. He does seem really cool though and I'll try to read some of his works in the near future.

All the exhuberant feeling from the OP is rendering me speechless. *Stares at screen trying to come up with a clever comment* Screw it! Oh well, welcome to the forum.

So are most people here (including me). Just say some stuff about yourself. Oh, And welcome to the forum!

Discipline and Punish by Foucault is especially related to this topic. Read the first chapter. It's dense, but insightful. (after two read throughs at least)

My ambitions tend toward becoming a more competent and effective individual. In a higher sense, it is the pursuit of mastery. I don't mean an "art for art's sake" kind of attitude. More like "art for aesthetics' sake." My personal trouble with ambition is that 1. I can be pretty lazy (no excuse...

Yeah the name didn't jive with me either, but I figured I should just keep the name I found it with.

This article is exceptionally N biased. Sensor hate is present quite often with us intuitives. This article talks about it in detail: http://www.celebritytypes.com/blog/2013/06/on-the-bias-against-sensation/

I just read that in one of your posts you are trying to learn Russian and Spanish. I am (trying) as well. What resources are you using to learn those languages?

Philosophy seems to suit me much better, but I do like aspects of psychology that are related to cognition. Have you ever seen the show perception? It has a lot related to psychology. As far as philosophy goes metaphysics and philosophy of science suit INTPs really well (although I am also...

Strangely enough, he sounds like an INTP to me. Firstly his attachment to material objects is a very Si trait. He emotional clinginess stems from his Fe inferior. Since you are probably the first emotionally nurturing relationship he has had it is understandable. Sorry for the laconic answer...

I'm a mix of unsymbolic, words, and visuals. Unsymbolic thinking helps me generate ideas, develop concepts, and find nonstandard solutions. It it also serves as the mental glue for the rest of my thought processes. It is this weird Ne-Si combo. Using it my thoughts flow idea to idea while still...
