So, physics nerds! FTL neutrinos - yea or nay? Neutrinal antitelephones? Wild speculations on the implications? Go!

I noticed when grandpa2390 started posting that there were results from a test I remembered, but couldn't find, in his signature. I'd been keen to find that test again, since it tries to measure the development of functions as opposed to on which side of each dichotomy you fall, and...

Can anyone recommend a free program to scan for trojans and keyloggers? Suspicious that I may have one.

So this is one of my favourite programs. Anyone else? PS I like Joel better than Mike.

Hi! I hate starting threads... So, I notice that I often type people intuitively - initially just an impression of what sort of a person they are, but I can translate it easily enough into a type if I think about it. The thing is, sometimes I find out that the person's actually done a test and...

I thought I'd start posting here again, although I always test INFP now and it really fits better, because I miss the level of discussion and the community. I was kinda tempted just to quietly start posting again and try to slip under the radar but I thought I should probably let people know I'm...

This has probably come up before, but I've been thinking about types with X in them - not lower case x for indeterminable, but upper case X for both. This is all in light of the fact that I appear to be one - and INXP - and so my thoughts are presented using INXP as a case study from the...

I've been reading Mesopotamia: writing, reasoning and the gods by French Assyriologist Jean Bottéro, translated by Marc van de Mieroop (who I've also read) and some other geezer. "Literature" might be considered a funny place for a thread on an academic writer, but the way he writes is just...

So, dependent personalities (not necessarily personality disorders). Who has 'em? I'm pretty sure I do. Neediness doesn't strike me as a bad thing, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be needed. Thing is, this all strikes me as a pretty not-even-nearly-INTP outlook. We're meant to...

For drunk posts. Post here when you're inebriated, far gone in drink, lost to the temptations of alcohol, or just plain pished and blootered. I rather enjoy the hint of potato present in vodka.

I think it was Auburn who suggested this to me a while back, and I dismissed it. Stupid of me. I tried it today, and damn, it works. It works so well. Things seem so much clearer, just committing them to the screen makes it seem so much easier to handle. It's incredible, feelings don't seem...

Yeah, so I can't send PMs. When I try to click in the PM box thing, the whole thing siezes up and Bold, Italic and Underline highlight. I can't click anything. Es problematico. Could it be a Firefox thing?

Jesus Christ, does anyone have any idea at all what I should do or should I just run into something hard? I'm so excitingly terrified.

A friend and I were talking after Philosophy today. We had been learning about the "missing shade of blue" counterargument in Hume's Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, and it came out that neither of us are actually able to picture a shade of blue - any shade of blue, even one right in...

I have a friend who's an INTJ and writes a lot of poetry. The INTJ's tertiary function, Fi, would be a good source for this - but I wonder, is tertiary too low for it to have a noticeable effect on one's lifestyle? This lead me to wonder about Ti and Ni, and Te and Ne; as our primary and...

'Bout time I made this thread. So, I'm reading (after having it recommended to me multiple times) Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series; and it's really, really great. Such a detailed world, with rich cosmology etc.; it's pretty hard to describe unless you've read it. The fact that I only...

So, I now know that I know two ISFPs, my mother and a friend, who I had always been sure were ESFP before. Talking to them, I realise that they're not actually extraverted, they just put up facades - much like many of us report doing - and do so very convincingly. Knowing these two people, I...

Hi, I'm Jordan. I'm 15, from Dundee in Scotland, and uhm... I'm bad at speaking about myself? I suppose my interests include fantasy media - I'm prone to spending a great deal of my free time immersed in some other world, I'm a shameless escapist; architecture and gardens and art and things like...

So I just finished my first year of formal external exams, and I must say that I found it pretty easy. In any subject I was sufficiently interested in, I didn't need to study at all - the information required was just there when I needed it. Even in subjects in which I don't pay attention and...
