I know a probable INFP who lives in Canada. MUST BE TRUE!

OP you talk about average male/female. But then the average male and female in western society is fat dumb and probably a net drag on the world. Maybe the solution is to not let yourself be average in the things that truly matter (IMO: health, competence, knowledge, independence, family, self...

They would probably all bring laptops, hook em up and play Starcraft.

Who knows. The more we learn about the brain, the more we realize we don't know shit. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/11/science/learning-how-little-we-know-about-the-brain.html?_r=0

Seriously fuck LA. Also fuck NYC. Probably also fuck Chicago. And probably any other big city. They suck. Dirty air, dirty streets, dirty people. I don't get the appeal, other than trying to make big money fast--which is dumb. LA is probably the worst of them all though. Mostly a big...

I'm panicking. Now that it's back up, how will I get anything done?

I'm glad I taught myself how to be more...sociable? This way when I need or want to use social skills I can. And it's been very helpful in this social world, where who you know is often more important than what you know (sadly). When I care, and try, I've actually been called charismatic...

they're my breast friends

...the voices

I was looking forward to seeing what you had to say. Maybe you can give us a little tl;dr version? :)

Yeah I was wondering what else you would call it?

I thought that too...but that's kind of the point in the beginning. You go through the entire process of collecting everything in your life and write it down. Which seems like a waste of time, but he talks about how even trivial ideas floating in your head are taking up your "RAM" just the same...

Have any of you read the book and/or started using the system "Getting Things Done" (GTD)? If not, do you use any sort of productivity system? I found it through some of the old posts where Architect and others talk about it, and it happened to almost synchronistically align with a blogger...

Life Goals... - Achieve mastery in a subject that interests and satisfies so I can actually be useful in solving some of the world's (or at least my community's) problems. For this goal I'm currently pursuing computers/programming again, hopefully the right way this time. And hopefully I'll...

It's one of those things I think I should do...but haven't really developed it. Add it to the list...

Artist - Album(s) Orbital - Blue and Brown album Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom Astral Projection ... just about any of them Hybrid - Wide Angle DNTEL - Life is Full of Possibilities The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole Mylo - Destroy Rock and Roll Daft Punk. That's my off the top...

Do it. Don't look back. Time to stop suckling the teets of your parents. It will force you to get better/more mature with everything. Get a real cheap place. Or roommates. Or a van (fantasy of mine, I think it'd be cool, but I now have a significant other who would not be interested in that).

I think I've said almost this exact phrase. Also think about all the trillions pumped into the financial system by the Fed. What if that was put towards something useful other than propping up the facade...hmmm. Amazing that we advance despite the BS.

Obviously everyone who says they lift can't possibly be an INTP. I think depending on how you approach it, it can be INTP-compatible or not. So an INTP probably wouldn't non-ironically say..."Shit brah I just wanna get huge and jacked. Lets go pump some iron" An INTP would probably approach...

Nah an INTP would just figure out how to do it...say "oh that's a cool idea." And be done with it. :)

Save. Invest. Retire early. Not only will this goal motivate you to work long enough to reach it (probably at least 8 years unless you've got a really high paying job, or super low expenses--by then you'll probably be bored if not hating work)...then once you do reach it you have the added...

I naturally spend very little, but my fiance tends to be more of an impulse buyer, generally worse with finances. So I have been trying to suck less at tracking and planning this stuff. Started with reading Your Money or Your Life. Then I tried to implement their charts and tracking stuff. Did...

Yep. Been in that rut several times. Sometimes it lasts a day, sometimes weeks. Never really went into anything I'd consider a depression though. I've noticed that the rut starts when I have things I want/need to do, but for whatever reason I don't/can't do them for a period of time. So the...

Because I'm not a religious nutjob.

Meh. You'll choose to see whatever you want to see. Yeah there are injustices and really shitty situations in the world. But bitching about it on the internet does nothing to change it. Go do something about it. Or don't. Like you say, the universe doesn't give a shit either way.

Lots of negativity about the future in here. You people been reading too much internet doom and gloom. Let me try to help balance you out... A bunch of reasons why we are living in the best period in human history: [/spoiler] But yeah it still doesn't mean there's any point to anything...so...

I'd second this. I wanted out of my technical job to "help people" directly and now that I've tried it...I want back into tech. People are a pain in the ass. They ask (or PAY!) for advice then don't follow it. Stupid. Or you have to emotionally coax them into doing it. Super Fe. Super draining...

I agree that since S types are more drawn towards external physical challenges, sports, they will probably be more likely to actually develop their body. But the idea that because someone is born with a certain natural body type they will automatically be a certain type psychologically, I don't...

I highly doubt there's any hard rules about personality type as it relates to body type. Smells very fishy to me. INTPs have the fastest metabolism? How does anyone know that. Have we actually tested this hypothesis? Doubtful. (WOops now I'm gonna get accused of INTJ!:storks:)

I'll probably have a kid eventually. I mean...it's about the only real purpose in life. Survive, replicate, die. Everything else is arbitrary or hocus pocus.

Nah. Don't try to change the world. Align yourself to a path that arguably provides benefit to the world, and to which you may be able to contribute on a high level eventually, then work towards that high level achievement over 30-50 years and maybe you will change a small slice of the world...

CTN. Cryptologic Technician Networks. Potential to be really cool if you A) get into the right command, B) push yourself to develop the skills beyond expectations. I'd say all the Navy CT jobs are fairly INTP compatible, as much as you could expect from military. You'll probably get stuck with...

I joined the Navy right out of high school. Was in for 5 years. If I had to go back I would do it again. Probably the same job. I'd just be smarter about how I did things. But thanks to the Navy, August this year I'm going to get PAID to go to school full time.

6 hours? Try several years :) Just know that there's no perfect dream job just sitting waiting for you to fill the spot. The more you believe in that fantasy the more you'll hate whatever you're doing. Pick something that moderately interests you at least, and that you're somewhat (or...

Teachers always told my parents that I didn't seem like I was engaged in class or knew what was going on, but any question they asked I could answer, and I had no problem with tests. Meh. When I was 12 I spent hours on MSN chat using IRC clients with scripts to take over certain chat rooms...

Just one? :)

Well said Valentas.

This.

This is exactly what happened to me.

Don't see why you'd need to fully retrain. Just go deeper into your CS/programming/electronics stuff. I don't buy this thing of needing to have passion for something, especially not in the beginning, when most things tend to be boring and tedius, and your taste doesn't match your skill. Look...

Ever had a great idea (product, service, app, etc.) that you were too slow (or didn't care) to act on, then you saw it be produced in real life by someone else? Share your misery/apathy. Post it here. I've had a couple. One is about a year old now, which I'll post below, and the latest one...

Yeah there's a big myth that because you lift, you're gonna get hy00ge. But not necessarily. You can get relatively strong via lifting without gaining size. Keep your diet the same, and you won't get bigger. Simple as that. You might "recomp", losing some fat, gaining muscle. Like a small...

Oh and another thing I just thought of...how Ne plays a part in it. We can use Ne to bring together the different training philosophies --yes there are many training philosophies for you to get hung up on and think about way too much--and eventually, hopefully, come up with our own methods and...

It seems like a lot of INTPs (or maybe it's just the ones on these forums) are predisposed against lifting weights. I was when I was a kid. But when I was 19 I started playing around with Parkour, and one of the top guys recommended you lift and get strong enough to protect your joints. He...
