At this point, I think it's mostly personal preference since most schools require either/or. Personally, I prefer the ACT despite having only taken it once and having good scores on both. I don't have any reason in particular for this preference, I just... well, something. There was some...

Despite how old this thread is, I feel I should point out that when the term "hanging" is used, it is generally a good rule of thumb that you should always specify what type of hanging, particularly when referring to something your mother told you to do which you fear you will have to do if you...

Hello! I have to admit, I have selfish reasons for posting here. What exactly does the Latin say? I gathered something about god, and maybe something about your child, but my Latin's rusty, so for all I know you could have been talking about the devil and your pet dog. (I hope he didn't die...

I really want this. Bad. I REALLY want this. I mean REALLY. I don't think you understand the meaning of REALLY, really. REALLY.

I think I tend to do something like this in a more roundabout manner, such as through daydreams with other characters. ... However, for some reason I cannot think of an example either way right now. It's actually sort of strange, it's like a blanket has been put over my memories. You know, I...

I'm so happy I could be the one to start this up again :smiley_emoticons_mr It's not like I only followed a link and didn't realize how old this was or anything... Ahhh! What's the correct font size? Anyways, in case you couldn't tell, most of my post was facetious (true, but facetious). I...

So, I've noticed that INTP's tend to be the stereotypical daydreaming type (yes? no?), and I was wondering: How many of you catch other characters in your daydreams talking about how awesome you are? Not directly, of course, but for some plausible reason. (Well, not always directly) I ask...

I think both.:king-twitter:

Chicken fries. An hour ago.

^^^ I was going to actually respond to the OP, but that is the funniest thing I have ever read. Ever. Period. EVER. Oh, and I agree that lightning bolt should have been a response to the poll

Actually, within the past two months I cut my video game playing time into tiny pieces. I never really played games like WoW, but CoD... I mean, was it really that fun? I can't tell anymore. Now, I think I could stop playing video games indefinitely, except for two things: My friends and newly...

:storks: I think you're misunderstanding me. I completely agree with what you just said. What I meant by "I like your use of the word 'much'" was that I completely agree that much of the time when people label others as 'stupid' it is a result of a hasty decision or lack of information. It's...

First off, I think it's interesting to note that a long time ago, obesity wasn't the norm, instead it was desired. Obesity equaled food and food equaled money. In one way of looking at it, modern obesity could be a reaction to millenia of the belief that fat was good. Of course, I don't really...

My reactions: 1) Haha, didn't get me with that one. I can be social when I want to. My two best friends are the most stereotypical jocks you could ever find. Seriously, I dare you to try. It's a bit weird, really. 2) Well maybe some of us like splitting hairs. It's not like it's a compulsion...

Did I already post here? I could swear that I did. Anyways, the short answer is yes, and the long answer is hahahahahahaha yes. Honestly I should stop, but I have some sort of crazy luck, so I can't. Well, I won't. Or I can't, I've never really tried (seriously tried, I mean, not that little...

So... Long post. Feel free to skip past all the quotes to get to the actual answer. [Disclaimer: I display an unnatural and disgusting amount of arrogance in this post. Read at your own risk][Second Disclaimer: If any part of this post appears homophobic, read again] There's a difference...

:eek: That makes so much sense! My mom is ISTJ (I'll get back to the OP in a moment) and she freaks out (hyperbole) whenever I slam a door, even if I didn't mean to/just shut it slightly more than quietly. Anyways: Quick disclaimer: There are many variations of different letters so naturally...

I just started reading Please Understand Me by Keirsey, and he seems to have the opposite opinion of everyone here. He states that everyone is born as a certain type, not that nurture is the only way to develop personality. For me, my father is either an INTJ or an INTP and my mother is an...

Yes, high fantasy would be the best descriptor of it then. It's an entirely constructed quasi-medieval world. I really should read Tolkien sometime. From your description, should I assume that you read books such as The Blade Itself and The Darkness that Comes Before? If not, I would recommend...

I've had roughly thirty lucid dreams (of course, my definition of lucid dream is being aware that I'm dreaming, not necessarily for any long amount of time). When you do get a lucid dream, it is amazing and completely worth keeping a dream journal. I've never had the patience either for more...

Lucid dreaming is, in my opinion, likely the best thing ever. Also the most difficult thing ever, but still the best thing ever. I would like to direct you to a repository of knowledge (and speculation) on the subject because there are sooooo many different things that could never be discussed...

Honestly, who wouldn't? Edit: NOOOO! I double posted!!! Edit: SO TRUE! [I just read the first post]. Except for the prefix demi-, and certainly with the asterisk.

You know you're an INTP when... (bear with me on this one) You put off your three week English essay until the night before, but realize that there's no chance in hell you'll be able to finish it, so you decide to just tell the teacher and turn it in late. Then when the teacher extends the due...

So, I started reading this today (I've come to the conclusion I'm mostly INTP) and I got to dreamoftheunknown's post and I thought: "Ooooooh. Damn. Maybe I am INTJ." I thought about posting, but then I decided to read on, at which point I came across my (month) old post. Wow. :kilroy: Is there...

There is no frowny face!!!! Does that seem a bit Orwellian to anyone else? It's like the forum is trying to make us happy, even if we aren't. Even if it's smothering oppression is sending us spiraling into depression, we cannot express it through the only emotions we have: emotes. [See what I...

Haha, nevermind I got impatient again and wiped the entire hard drive (several times, before I settled on this OS :kilroy:). Thanks for the tip, though. I may need to use it with my other computer.

On all (both) of the INT- type forums I've been on, nearly everyone mentions exactly what you said: they always thought they were strange, etc. I never had this problem, so I guess it all depends on where and how you grow up. For me, I started out with my dad being very similar to me, and then...

Yes, dark green is a very pretty color. (Sorry, I had to say it)

I tend to be slightly artistically inclined (using a right/left brain test). Forgive me if this has already been addressed -- I only read part of the way down before I got to this idea -- but I think how you perceive philosophy itself is indicative of how you think. If you tend to think in...

There seems to be a disturbing trend here for 16-almost-17. I am 17. I remember in middle school (very small school so every grade knew every other grade) the year after me was horrible. I hope that doesn't reflect on all of you :aufsmaul: .

:elephant: As terraxceles said, this is very ironic. ^That^ is exactly how I feel most of the time. I won't even bother trying to explain it. Basically in my 20-post experience (yay! 20 posts! :D ) I have found that two things help: 1. Do what I am sort of doing right now, namely, don't...

It's the name of the main character of a book I'm writing.

I put left brained, took the test, and it says I'm 48/52 right brained. I tend to think I am right brain dominant after reading the results of the test (particularly the sequential processing and holistic processing). I would think that INTJ's are generally left brain dominant (to an extreme...

Nevermind, I got impatient :) New, retrospective question. If I get a FATAL ERROR regarding cylinders being out of bounds when partitioning (or attempting to partition) my hard drive, do I have any other option other than to get frustrated and erase the entire thing?

After reading this thread, I want to switch to Arch. Unfortunately, I have a little problem and I am hoping you can tell me what it is. Recently, I decided I wanted to create an Ubuntu partition on my Windows 7 laptop. I looked everything up online, downloaded a virtual image and all the...

Hmmm... that is difficult. I guess the best way to elaborate on it would be to say that it is cliched epic fantasy, except with the hope that a combination of world building and character building will make it not absolutely horrible. I would summarize the plot, but I don't have the...

I have no idea whether that's true or not, but it made me laugh. :D Back to the subject though, that is one of the things that most annoys me is when someone says something, you say you think they're wrong (that took me two tries not to write 'their'), and they cut you off or ignore you and get...

I think it really depends on the situation. On one hand, you could really like the idea of being INTP and subconsciously fudge the truth a bit in order to more fit that stereotype when taking the test. On the other hand, maybe because you like the idea of being an INTP, you might be less...

THANK YOU. Here are some wings :angel01: That is the best description of the difference between INTJs and INTPs that I have ever read. I've sort of been having the same dilemma as the OP except inverted and reversed. The test tells me that I'm INTP (at least recently it does) and I like the...

I'm still not quite sure how I did it :D Hmmm.... :elephant::elephant::elephant: :eek: Maybe?

Ok, resurrect. I've been writing a book for a little over a year now (using a very loose definition of writing) but now that I've gone beyond the brainstorming and journal-idea catching stage, I can't get the will to write more than occasionally. This I thought was a very interesting and true...

I'm going to have to come back to this thread and take notes, there are just too many books for me right now. My favorite book is probably The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Other than that: Ender's Game Catcher in the Rye (although I need to re-read it since I read it as a school book)...

I would have already beaten it, but unfortunately two missions from the end of the game my friend decided to "borrow" the second disk (I had already lent him the first one). It really is a great game though, even if it's not the absolute best I've ever played.

My mind is the best place for me to talk, but after that talking online is a distant second. I have enough time to take my mind-speak and form it into coherent sentences, and my tongue doesn't have any opportunity to betray me by spouting nonsense while I think.

I thought I should say hi now, two (one?) days after joining. So hi! I also wanted to personally blame all of you for confusing my MBTI test :evil:. It was perfectly satisfied calling me an INTJ for over a year before I read this forum for twenty minutes. Now look: Assuming you don't see just...

I'm tired from doing nothing all day, so I may be misunderstanding this entirely, but here is what I gathered from this: First of all, it seems to me like laziness is either doing the least possible amount of work to reach some minimum goal, or it is the lowering of the minimum goal in order to...

My dad's INTJ, which in my case is a very good thing. I think whether or not having an INTJ father is a good thing depends entirely on what parenting style their mind has determined is absolutely the best. If it's a controlling style, that's not so good. My dad, however, has a very "it's your...

Definitely Kvothe from The Name of the Wind. I would love to play hide and go seek with myself.
