Yo~ It's been a while since I was on this forum, so I'm doing the intro thing... First, though, I have to say I'm happy to see this forum is still here. Second, I'm an INTP, by the official MBTI (S2) and the online quizzes (most of the time) and I've somewhat studied Jung's original...

I find it surprising that stereotypes are such a negative thing. Stereotypes are a matter of categorizing people, as is trait theory from my understanding. It helps us cope with other people, approach them, make sense of them. Stereotypes are everywhere. So "nerd" is a stereotypes, and prep...

I was ready to take another leave of absence from this forum when something particular came up. Bear with me, as this is somewhat a personal muse, yet I do seek an answer First, I feel there is good reason to address my concerns and conflict with whatever INTP is. I understand myself to be an...

If you've seen Avatar, you probably noticed the lack luster plot and how very predictable it was. Well this reviewer adds more to the pot of criticism this popular movie deserves. It's a pretty funny and entertaining review...

The other day I thought I had a head cold, because I was getting really dizzy. That same day, I also gave my cat some catnip so she's stop jumping all over my desk. This worked at first, she ate the catnip, was funny for a while, then fell asleep. I left the bag of catnip on my desk and...

Having a low F has resulted in some particular issues. My sense of humor is hit or miss. I don't know when it's on or off or what makes it either. I don't find many things funny, unless I'm in the mood for humor. I hardly ever experience random humor. I have trouble identifying humor and I...

There are times when I can't hush my mind to go to sleep, even though I'm tired and it's 4am in the morning. Usually the situation is that I'm preoccupied with something. If I'm overly preoccupied with something it'll take me a very long time to fall asleep. The worst situation is when I'm...

Hey, long time, no see. I've been on hiatus and it's not quite over, but something silly's been stressing me out lately. If you had the choice of being influential and responsible or having a easier, simpler life, which would you take? And why?

It's occurred to me that on several occasions people seem to think I'm very upset when I'm not. In RL I'm a very patient person. Somewhat because I can preoccupy myself, even when I have nothing to entertain me. First, there are probably some basic areas of temperament I display: Reserved...

Zero wants to be referred to by "It", not your human pronouns (he/she). This is my official request (I guess).

Is it an ISTP reaction to tell you to "Leave you're not helping" when something breaks or goes wrong? I want to help fix it, but I get the impression he really doesn't want me there. My reaction in this case would be to try a lot of different methods to clean up the mess.

I feel kind of dumb for this, but I've been wondering what types would correlate with MMO Classes. The MMO I'm playing right now is Aion, but I would understand WoW and Guild War classes too. At max there are only 12 classes in Aion, but taking out the starter classes there are only 8...

I've been looking around the web for reliable statistics on Type Population. I can't seem to find a consistent answer between random sources. So, what I'd really like to know, is if the MBTI organization has their statistics for public viewing anywhere? (Or if there is some other reliable...

For years I thought I was an INTP. I was positive, totally dedicated to it. But then, I can't help but wonder why I feel so different from other INTPs... Finally, I came upon a conclusion. I must be a INFP! My life has been a lie. I don't know what to do. Now, in order to fill the void left...

I keep forgetting I can't actually be myself in the most literalish way. There are tweens and such. My apologize for my run away mouth... Therefore, I shall probably censor my language. On another note, I guess while I'm here, I'll just mention this, so as not to be redundant. I was on...

Link I don't know if there's a point in saying much about this. You know what I think of it.

I know I'm probably being impatient, but I'm confused about the forum bandwidth. So we'll have more/renewed bandwidth Oct 1st, but is the forum moving to a new provider? Additionally, would it be out of line to suggest or create an alt.forum for when we have these down times?

Become Zero's minions friends, because Zero is will bring you great things. Like this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080324220936AAJruTJ (For the record Cats can't taste sweets anyway.) And zero is an aesthetically pleasing number. And Zero doesn't care what you think of...

Sometimes I can start a new thread and other times I get a screen that tells me my topic has to be approved. I don't understand this. Especially, seeing as we have repeat threads and all. Is it a glitch or does this apply to certain sub forums?

I stumbled upon a site listing five famous psychological experiments. http://www.mindpowernews.com/5Psychological.htm I recall the one about the prisoners and noticed that all participants were male. These days people are careful about sexism and act as if our biological make up has no...

Who has better Teeth? Suigetsu. Who I found out about yesterday. [Naruto Shippuden] Or Viral. Who's been my avatar before. [Tangun Toppen Gurren Lagan (sp?)] Though a different picture.

I want to Rant, but I don't recall what happened to my other rantish thread. Oh well, this seems like the better place for such a thread. Anyway, I'm annoyed at Paypal for letting a service I'm not subscribed to steal my money. I'm trying to deal with the thieves. I'm rather tired of mishaps...

So, I know some types have "sites" that are pretty much just dedicated to their descriptions and tidbits. I found INTP Survival Guide. http://www.fortunecity.com/bennyhills/hardy/441/personality/intp.html Who the f*cking hell makes a red background? Web Design 101... That's highly offensive to...

I stumbled upon a site about "thinking like a genius". I found it kind of funny (kind of sad) that it was so well reviewed and liked by the general community. That tells me that most people don't function like that and I always find it isolating to be reminded of how impractical 'genius' is...

My sense of humour is gone. I've been exposed to a lot of "funny" stimuli today. I'm so sick of "funny". Of force laughing at stupid jokes I've heard a million times in different variations.

I'm so lucky as to be a college student right now. {I mean that sarcastically. I hate going to school.} I noticed a few people here use a Linux OS. Linux has recently become my main OS system. I use to use Vista as my main OS, because it came on my laptop. I actually kept that POS OS running...

The CPP MBTI test has a bullet list of INTP traits: -Logical, analytical, and objectively critical -Quick, insightful, and ingenious; intensely curious about ideas and theories -Adept at providing a detached, concise analysis of an idea of a situation -Likely to approach situations with...

I swear I've posted about this topic before, but I'm posting it again. I was searching ENFJs and found on the INTJ forum a comment from an INTP. http://intjforum.com/showthread.php?t=1276 Hdier said that they project a stoic image so people won't bother him. I project a nice image so people...

I've noticed few INTPs use posting themes. All the same, I feel like talking about it and I feel like putting this thread here, in the lounge. Let's discuss (or post) posting themes and signature colors (not signatures). I've decided to randomly use "antique gold". I wish it better went with...

I was referred to a book called Strengths Finder 2.0, by Tom Rath. Has anyone ever seen, used or read this book. I got it out of curiosity. It's apparently suppose to help you figure out how to sharpen your talents and get into work you'll enjoy. The test is online, but you have to buy the book.

I realized the topic I made was redundant and there was another place for it. I constantly forget I can't delete posts. My apologies. Well then... anyone want to talk about INTJs and why they are misguided in trying to form intimate relationships with INTPs? Or maybe why they are misguided or...

Everyone seems addicted to this mypersonality.info page. I took the test and was INTP, though I didn't find the reading as accurate as the official MBTI I took with CPP. I had never heard of the multiple intelligences test. It struck me as similar to the Strong Inventory (yet another test I...

I joined this forum quite a while ago and I left for a while. Part of the reason I left was because I found the forum depressing and emo looking. For an INTP forum it isn't very dynamic. Would it be a crime to make it a little more colorful or artsy somehow?

I never thought I would end on this board again, but I have a problem (and I don't know where to put it, because there aren't any mini descriptions of forums under the name... SO move as needed) I have been plagued as I search and stumble the internet... I come upon posts and things I know to...

I've noticed on some forums they have a place where you can drop a line about your current feelings/thoughts/mood, whatever. So Here I'm making a thread where you can drop a line (or vent, but I've mostly seen it used as like an "update status" sort of deal). Why am I making such a thread...

I think it's only natural for NT types, if not NTP types to be interested in typing other people and abusing MBTI for all it's worth... However, I've read the ethical standards of MBTI on their site and on Wiki and other places. -We shouldn't force the test upon others. (Probably extended to...

I'm not sure if this specifically an INTP issue, since I simply want to ask the reason for ignoring. You see, I've often encountered this irritating problem when I make a post on a forum. It's happens here as well, so it appears I could get some insight about it. Sometimes when I make a post...

It usually bother me when people have clearly mis-typed themselves. It seems like when people take a free online tests, with little understanding of MBTI, there's a good chance they get the wrong type. I suppose worse would be if they happen to be delusional about who they are. I'm not even sure...

After seeing a lot of stereotypes and conditioning aimed at children I wonder how useful something like the MBTI would be in use towards children. Would people learn to see their children as individuals and not try to make them into perfect men or women or perfect/improved/better versions of...

Is it possible for someone to not fit into any of the MBTI personalities? I don't really know for sure 100% if I am an INTP, which seems to plague me. I've been taking a look at other forums, judging according to what I think might be compatible with my personality. Maybe I'll add more of my...

Hello everyone, INTPs I presume... Since I am for bluntness I'll come right out and say what I want to say. I'm very frustrated over the fact that I cannot figure out what IN-- I am. I have been trying to find a consistent answer for about a year, give or take. It is something I wanted to...
