Leader Flexible, and organized. Well done! You possess a great strength. Not only can you adapt to your surroundings, you can also impose your will on them, thanks to your thorough approach to everything. You would make a great administrator, as the category suggests.

And for anyone who haven't tried it yet, the answers from that thread give... You Are Stupid You have: 10% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and 9% EMOTIONAL INTUITION Seeing as that thread is nearly 3 years old, methinks someone is playing with our minds. Unless these are not the correct answers...

It depends on intention. More often than not it's intended as such on MBTI forums, usually by people who are heavily biased towards considering N better (whether they understand the S/N difference and type correctly is another matter). They don't like you so they call you what they consider...

Socionics functions are different. ILI - Ni-Te IEI - Ni-Fe ILE - Ne-Ti IEE - Ne-Fi

Not the tests as such, but learning of socionics funtions after getting to know MBTI is like "wow, it actually makes sense!". Some definitions (especially Si and Ni, but also others) are very different. Many discussions about MBTI functions seem contradictory, probably because same functions are...

Variations within groups are much bigger than variations between groups. Therefore considering group is useless when addressing individuals.

INFJ. I'm not sure I know any.

I hope none of the questions was about whether a theory was proved or not, because you seem to have misunderstood this part. From Wikipedia:

The above put together: (4d6b3)[3][3][5][6](14) (4d6b3)[3][3][6][6](15) (4d6b3)[5][6][5][4](16) (4d6b3)[3][6][6][3](15) (4d6b3)[5][3][4][3](12) (4d6b3)[3][5][6][5](16) So, I'd appreciate if you'd decide how and when you're going to play. You know, rolling is fun, but I'd like to know if it's...

... let's hope again (I wonder if I'd be able to delete the above?). [roll0]

^ Either I'm doing something wrong or the "b3" at the end doesn't work after all... ;) Some rerolls: [roll0] [roll1] [roll2]

Some rolls of mine: [roll0] [roll1] [roll2] [roll3] [roll4] [roll5]

^ That's a rather broad generalization. Varieties within groups tend to be greater than those between groups (when we consider the average). This may be a flaw in MBTI - for example, when I read about P/J dichotomy, I find I don't fit into the system at all. Ps supposedly have "ordered minds"...

Meh, I didn't mean to sound whiny. I just realized it isn't going to work. Weekdays - I can almost always make time somewhere between 7 pm - 2 am, that corresponds to 1 - 10 pm EST and 11 am - 8 pm PST - not exactly compatible. Weekends - like weekdays or earlier (no fixed schedule), but that'd...

Yeah, yet another night owl here. It's 6 hours later here though (GMT +1), I'm not up to playing at 5-6 AM... I don't think I'm going to fit in your schedules :/. (I should probably look for some people to play IRL again. Hm.).

And your timezones are..?

I doubt full test would help much, although a talk with MBTI specialist might. There are two main differences between INTP and ENTP: function order and sociability. That's the source of outward differences. Theoretically the former is most important, but even Myers-Briggs admitted only 60% of...

4th edition is out already?! *googles* So, the last time I've played 3.5 was coming out. ... do you think I could join?

Yes, I realize it. I'm not so much attempting to categorize myself as understand how personality theories apply to me (because that's the only way I can understand them, really) and others - because I'd really like someone else's input. As I've said, it's somehow scary how accurately some...

Or "Are you ILI or LII?". I'm sorry if this was discussed before, I searched and didn't find any recent threads. Next two paragraphs are quite self-centered, so skip them if you don't care for it. So, the first time I've heard of socionics, I've just assumed I must be INTj (or LII) since their...

My first thought was "INFP". I've read somewhere that INTP and INFP are very much alike in observing the world, but different in experiencing it - understanding vs personal meaning approaches. I agree that understanding of the world may lead to understanding the way we view and judge the...

Actually the failed missile launch explanation is plausible. Here is the simulation of it: YouTube- Norway Cloud Spiral - Simulation of possible explanation

Yes, all of those things are part of social chameleon description from a profile everyone knows... obligatory quote with emphasis added: (I think it's the most accurate thing ever said about INTPs, by the way.)

When you think in terms of cognitive processes, the only possible "hybrids" could be I/E (for example balanced Ne-Ti). Maybe you don't act like a typical INTP or INTJ, but you can hardly be both. Edit: Oh, and welcome.

Actually, I do the opposite. I can go into "showman mode", but only when I know the topic well *and* I improvise. The more I plan and prepare, the worse the effect is. I may rely on my Ne for extroverted activities far more than Fe, however. And, I'm not overly fond of FJs.

That would be Sergey Lukyanenko. The first two books in the series are good, the other two less so. I don't know if his other books were published in English, but they aren't bad too (although I got bored after reading too many).

^ I enjoyed The Mists of Avalon very much and agree with the quoted opinion, but all three books together seem somehow repetitive (not in a repulsive way like many other authors, but still very similar to each other). The Lies of Locke Lamora is a good one too.

I think we only use shadow functions in exceptional situations. Many people (especially at INTJ forum) believe they use both, but they seem to confuse them. You say you "just know" when you look at things. Do you see it the moment you look at it, or does it come to you at random time (doing...

Well, I've never eaten an Oreo cookie... I've googled them, and found out it's just a sandwich cookies, so I answered based on the ones I know. Although these are with chocolate filling usually. I'm not sure how this white stuff tastes. Is it good?

As much as I appreciate this forum, I think you'll be better advised there. Just fill the form and ask.

Linguistic tradition? You mean, like in "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen", for example? Traditionally, no one bothered with such a silly thing as questioning the use of pronouns excluding females, they didn't have any rights anyway. The problem is, traditionally most of the...

I know only one self-identified INTP. I'm not sure if I've met others, although I think it's likely. The one I've mentioned I never suspected was anything like me - until we started talking a lot. It's kind of weird... I know more INTJs than INTPs. I suppose it may be the first move thing:

^ Functions tests aren't very accurate, especially when it comes to 3rd and 4th function. Many INTPs score higher on Fi than Fe, probably because of preference for introverted judgement (the common factor with our dominant, Ti). Same happens with Te higher than/equal to Fe (preference for T), or...

This is going to be biased by "most people seem to be these annoying xxxx's! I hate them!" and "well, I'm friends with...". Although SJ's do seem to be the majority.

You've just stated the reason Linux isn't very popular - because the word "user" means something different than to the rest of the world. Most of the "users" out there don't even know what a command line is. So "userfriendly" in the common meaning isn't what any particular user finds friendly...

What's wrong with explosions anyway? :D

^ Quite a few INTJs describe their type like that. I suppose some people I enjoy talking to, but I'm not completely open with, could consider me to be an ENTP, if they knew MBTI. Those I don't like would probably type me as an INTJ. People who know me really well would see an INTP, I think.

(Yeah, I know, neither Linux nor OS X are perfectly stable. But Windows isn't perfectly userfriendly either.)

+1 Every type shows emotions from time to time, INTPs just tend to do this rarely and kind of explosively, if it makes any sense...

The other forum may be mistyped.

Different sources give different data, but it's always some kind of SJ (ISTJ or ISFJ usually). Nearly half of the population, they are.

So true.

No, we are not. Robotic, I mean. Robots are repetitive. Robots' actions are organized. Robots obey the instructions, as long as they can understand them. Robots do their work when they're meant to. If anything, it's ISTJs that can act in a robotic way. Now stop whining and go back to...

Have you read about cognitive processes (aka functions)? If not, you probably should. MBTI types are named based on "traits", which are also measured by the test; however the way they are is defined by functions. Here you can find descriptions of them. Also this INTP profile is considered quite...

^ It has been in use for some time now... From wikipedia: My teacher did similar thing with flipping the coin homework in probability theory class.

^ unless a few people joined in a short time and organized a party in the ruins.

Neutral as in not having an opinion - yes. Neutral as in having a "neutral" opinion - no. We may aim for it, and come close, but it's impossible exactly because of out biased perception. You can!

^ Speaking of Bradbury, don't forget "Fahrenheit 451" if you haven't read it already. Greg Egan writes what could be described as mind-bending science fiction (there's a lot about nature of consciousness, AI, etc. there).
