A = pi r² / 2 - (area of equilateral triangle with sides r + pi r² (120/360) )

Thanks TA - I do like the functional analysis. But it doesn't address my fundamental question which is the (implied? asserted?) bimodality of the JP distinction, but you could argue any of the binary monikers I/E N/S T/F inherent in MBTI. Is there any empirical basis for bimodality? Could the...

Yes, the functions sound very different, and yet I manage to combine them in one package quite nicely. :) I question the whole notion that people always have an innate tendency to follow one or the other path. I don't think the (online) MBTI tests are failing to discern whether I'm really a J...

I consistently score close to the midpoint on J/P. I'm wondering if this is common, or if most people have a strong bias to either J-dom or P-dom.

Happiness is our reaction to a state of brain chemistry. See definition above. I figure they'd be "just" unhappy.

Wading in where wiser men fear to tread... I've only read the last few posts here. First of all, nothing about mines and environmental impact is certain - you're always dealing with large unknowns and uncertainties. Environmental Assessment is conceptually the correct tool to look at all pros...

I wouldn't sweat it. No one tests 100% x or y, it's always a gradient. I usually test 80% I, 70%N, 70%T, and 50/50 J/P. Try hanging out at INTJf, and see if that feels better for you.

I would say I feel dumber now (45) than I did when I was, say 25. I assume this is pretty normal as brain cells die off (and are butchered by accumulated recreational chemicals). The INTP mode of learning, i.e. total conceptual mastery, has been beneficial, as I still remember a lot of stuff...

Hi dc. I'm actually an INTp who acts like an INTj, so it's surprising it took me so long to check this place out. One thing I notice is that INTPf is way smaller than INTJf - that makes it a lot slower. Still haven't had time to explore the corners, just sticking to New Posts for now. Cheers.

Interesting, bizarre, in fact, but I have two Tolle books in my bedroom right now. One is TPON, which I haven't opened because it's in Spanish, and reading Spanish is PAINFUL. But I'm open to serendipity, so I'll tackle El Poder de Ahora before A New Earth. Thanks!

failure to complete.

Hi dc, you'll probably recognise me. Just came over to the dark side myself. Isn't it cool that you can actually type INTJf here? Over there, if you type INTPf, it automatically changes it to "some other forum" *shivers* By the way, fellow INTPfers, I assure you that dc is the real deal. Not...

I never suggested such a thing. I just suggested an area where I thought sensors should have an advantage. So I consider your comment unfair, but not inaccurate. I've never studied architecture. However, I have heard the complaint from practising architects that what you do in the real world...

Agreed. Form follows function. Dolphins evolved from ungulates (no shit, that freaks me out). As far as Mars goes, I figure unicellular life is what we might reasonably hope for.

How about: I could have whacked off 5000 times, but instead I did this?

I'm a civil engineer by training. I actually taught in the Architectural Technology program at a community college. I suck at design, but am an excellent analyst. Would think sensors would be better at appreciating how a structure looks. I'm j/p balanced, if that matters.

Are you nearby? Like, AB or BC?

I was thinking that if Curiosity finds evidence of life on Mars, it would be a BIG DEAL - the first scientific proof that "we're not alone". But on reflection, I realised that I've always ASSUMED that extraterrestrial life exists, so finding it won't really change my worldview much at all. I...

Thank you DB, that spoke volumes.

wikipedia Interestingly, the first three areas in the wiki are the three I've spent most of my career in, i.e., solid waste mgt, environmenatl assessment, and water supply. I like EA work best, but my specialty is groundwater. I've been working about 20 years, roughly 50% in government, 25%...

You may find you value these things less as you age; I did. "trite" I guess yes, it's the oldest story there is, natch "expected" see above "stressful" I'm sure this depends on your personality. I test about 80% I and 20% E, so I am sometimes stressed by being surrounded by people more...

i figured i might get some slack in a thread dedicated to dickish corrections. mil disculpas. errors of punctuation indicate laziness; errors of grammar indicate ... something else. ;) I used to teach as well, and agree that an interested and alert student is a treasure. How many of you have...

fail. choose either began or had just begun. Actually, I think started sounds more appropriate in this context :) Anyway, I had a memorable experience correcting my grade 13 physics teacher (yes, we had grade 13 back in the dark ages). He noticed something was wrong in a solution he was...

S'all good sugar. I like my family and my job and all that jazz, but when you're young you're so free. I once took an entire summer off to read and watch tv and figure shit out and avoid working. That not an option anymore.

Hello INTPf. I'm a visitor from "some other forum". I call my p-ness my dark side because I'm probably more natural as a p than a j. But I don't get any shit done as a p, so I've adopted j-ness as a coping mechanism. Anyway, thought I should try this thing on and see if it fits. Cheers. By...
