It could have been a muffled cough, or maybe it's cancer. srs.

Well...I guess I can't do it in January now. Got a one day reprieve from the mid-high 30's(celcius), better now than ever. I read that INTPs are notorious for having a bajillion projects and never finishing them. Something clicked and I've been following through with them for a while. Even...

I believe English teachers are a sad sort of bunch. They seem to be excessively emotional, on an internal level. They can connect with the words a lot better than most, hence why I did terribly in English classes. I couldn't read the teacher, and presenting on facts didn't interest them. They...

I just read your name/title. I had a silent giggle.

Well, for starters you don't need the alcohol. Sure, I had alcohol for breakfast but I rarely drink so the novelty is fun I guess. Yes, the world sucks. There are another (probably) 10,000 people applying for 10-100 spots, your only real hope is to shotgun applications out and hope for the best...

100kg Power Clean Fix handbrake in the car(crushed the pad on my thumb last time, gave up. Everything just needs to be adjusted since I left it installed) Install extractors into the car Remove/replace bushes in the front of the car Change oil. Other than that, nothing. Shit, I might not even...

I forced the habit of waking up, eating, drinking, showering, etc in some specific order before taking it. I still do little "rituals" that my subconcious remembers before I use drugs or other things which have the potential to go wrong.

Re: whhat gives you the incentive/willpower/strength to keep going and stay "alive"? My car. It loves unconditionally and needs me to keep it alive. The feels when I sold the last one :/ Basically if I had no car, I'd just go on a rampage until I died/got caught. Not much point living when you...

Took some(a little too much) 25i-NBOMe, vasoconstriction + mad heat/humidity at night made me feel like I was going to die, kept seeing a shadow behind me/corner of my eye which I thought was death creeping up on me. Sitting in a forested area looking at some kangaroos(I was out looking for...

Time only exists so us humans can do the math, if we defined a different period for 1 minute or 1 second, our math would change but the universe wouldn't. Do people really think the universe has a set time?

I stay away from fictional, they rarely ever get finished unless I like the story/it gives me good visualisations. ie. The Hobbit, I could read it all day every day. Non-fiction is a lot more interesting, at least it deals with what could be real or is real, and if this forum is anything to go...

Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, 5th Ed, John D. Anderson. I don't understand the math, but the rest is easy to visualise. I guess I should learn Calculus

Ah I'm in a bit of a manic compulsive state and I'm not really paying as much attention as normal. To be honest, it's a refreshing change but I can see the danger. I think when it comes to IQ tests, the issue is people with dyslexia may score well below their "true" intelligence level, people...

Even an INTP knows what is expected and could answer appropriately to get around the issue, but in practice it's a different ball game. In my opinion, anyway.

x+1: When you are more saddened by the senseless destruction of a machine and impartial to the loss of human life x+2: When you try to say 5 sentences at once in an attempt to not forget what you were going to say because your brain has them prewritten and somehow stuck them all in the same...

He knows I'm not a fuckwit and all my ideas are good, so he generally leaves me to my own devices because I have a short temper some days and work better without the distractions of people. Otherwise he'll listen to how I can make his plan work better and all is good. Basically as long as I'm...

I wanted to design planes, but I didn't have the interest in the maths and so ended up trying to be a chef, but have no real artistic creativity so that failed, now I just cut paper for some printing mob which is easy money but the workplace is toxic as hell and quite mundane. Now maths is...

Taking the test in the presence of a psychologist is influencing the results. Why? Well, you might find them attractive and even though they will tell you to be 100% honest, you can't help but slightly change answer(or in this case, deny it) in an attempt to appease them. You might be in a bad...

117, scored equally in both with a slight cheat with the last word("tachycardia"). Man, I had no idea wtf they were trying to ask with some of those numbers in the first half. I understand a lot were simple patterns and they were easy enough. Others slightly trickier, requiring additional...

Well, knowing real life as I do, big hospitals are more likely to have maternity wards and small hospitals less likely. So I'd say the bigger one has a better chance of 60% girls. However, you did say town, which to me conjures up an image of a small country town, 20 beds perhaps in the biggest...

:applaus:

Like being ENFP with people you think will like you, vs being INTP for the rest? Reading the visual and mental cues and keeping the convo going, vs nothing to say pls go?

It only took me 20-odd years to like my own face, I have almost no memories of it before 1-2 years ago. Now days I just have a beard and shave my head, people leave me alone. But yeah, the common question of "are you ok" was normally met with a "I'm fine" and they try to push that I'm not...

In any single point on it's perimeter, it is neither a circle nor a square

Amphetamines, in controlled doses, can make good people come up with great ideas. They only become a problem when you don't sleep much, don't keep yourself clean, and don't drink water.

When told otherwise(for instance, trying to be smart but tuning out "wrong") you pretend that you knew all a long and were just trying to confuddle them. You could take over the world if only people would listen to you.(or if only you could stand up in front of 2000 people and give a speech...

Man this game gets pretty lame after about 2300-2400 games. You get paired with people who have played 3-400 games(games, not wins), and they have zero idea of what they are doing. You get decent with a champion and have a perfect build, then they ask you why you aren't building like *insert...

Empiricism and Hedonism also scored the same, which seems a bit odd to me. Am I missing something? I can't see the link between all 3, however I see the link between Empiricism-Hedonism and Intellect-Empiricism...

:D I meant it in a beneficial way too, as if you are going for the high score and the people are just pawns in the game

Velcro was the appropriate analogy to "sticky stuff which isn't so sticky but sticky enough for holding a toddler to the roof with" :)

I have another answer for the situation :) Logically, the train will crash regardless of a 60-150kg male being pushed in front of it, so by killing the guy, you improve the death toll by 1. It could be argued that the situation said the train will stop, however it specifies no time or place...

Narcissism 27% Unconventionality 72% Empiricism 100% Vitality 5% Othercentricism 38% Independence 66% Integity 66% Intellect 100% Stoicism 83% Orderliness 11% Dynamism 62% Activity 50% Romantiism 0% Hedonism 100% But the real question remains; "What does it all mean?"

I was thinking the same thing, except I'm not sure how tolerated experimenting on living humans with the potential for long-term harm will be taken lol Holy shit, its like you read my mind albeit in a much more elaborate way. As you said, perhaps he could overcome the mental reaction to "oh shit...

Just a little something I wrote a few months ago, spur of the moment type stuff. Enjoy;

To quote wiki; Basically, light hitting the retina in a certain wavelength inhibits melatonin production. Then at night the retina is exposed to less light and so melatonin production is increased, resulting in sleep after a certain amount of time. However, I'd imagine the "blue" light from a...

Says I write like Isaac Asimov, lol. Posted some of my writings into it. Looks like he is an INTP too. I'll need to post some more in to see. Also getting some David Foster Wallace(INFP/INTP) an Edgar Allan Poe(INFP/INTP). Can't exactly ask them to take a test now can we :)

Suppose, for this instance, that a baby is born. Now, this baby is allowed to grow as a normal baby until it is capable of crawling, at which time it is only permitted to play in a room covered in velcro. Now, place gloves/boots on the baby made from the opposite velcro stuff. If the baby is...

(@OP) Nope, I hide my shyness away behind the false confidence and the constantly avoiding everybody tactic I use. It might make people think I am a douchebag, but it's better(in my mind) than being too shy and having them take advantage of me(in a school sense, not in a woman dominance way)...

You are a Cougar! (your score: 24) Characters: Adrek, Endrus, and Daria in the Aspect of Crow trilogy Powers: Stealth, strength, phenomenal jumping ability, as well as enhanced sight and hearing Grrr, baby—you're the personification of animal magnetism. Your confidence...

Perhaps he was an egomaniac, and paranoid to boot. So whenever you replied in a way he couldn't understand he took it as an insult to his ego and responded defensively/aggressively(or aggressively defensive), depending on the situation, to hide(read: make blatantly obvious) his inability to...

(I thought I posted this yesterday, but I must've exited before I posted it. Luckily the Lazarus plugin for firefox remembers :D) I haven't read the entire thread yet, but I believe the meaning of life is to acquire knowledge, in its purest form. ie. Without emotional input clouding the...

Selective breeding comes to mind. Ideally you'll use something which can take care of itself if you provide its food/water/shelter and have a reasonably high tolerance to "mistakes". And naturally by mistakes I mean forcing it to adapt to harsh conditions such as cold, hot, humid, poisons in the...

(lamest title ever, but that's what you get) :) Anyway; Been on this site a few days. 22, male, Aussie(Victoria), meat-eater, from what I can tell I'm an INTP and have been for a few years. About 6 foot tall and wide shoulders. I smoke, I rarely drink, casually use other chemicals(I like the...

1 sibling, younger brother. 7 or 8. I get along with everybody, it is relatively easy...however I hate people who pretend to know everything because I need to bite my tongue to stop me from correcting them on everything :) 0-1, depending on my current mental state. The only major thing I...

An IQ test can't determine how much actual, viable, knowledge a person has. Considering most IQ tests I've seen recently focus on pattern recognition as its only means of determining intelligence, what if they were blind? Or could play 20 different instruments or speak just as many languages...

Space + time = spacetime, no?

Razor blades(self-inflicted lol, sometimes you need a bit of pain), accidental cuts with knives or chemical burns(accidental), plus the usual cuts and fire burns(or hot metal burns) or boiling water/oil burns etc. You get the idea I think :) I think hot objects are magnetically attracted to my...

There is no space-time, there is no magic clock keeping time to make sure everything happens at the right time. Before humans invented the stick in the sand to measure time, they just went off cycles. The same way the universe does it, and animals, bacteria, human bodily functions, regulation...

It is natural to hate that which is different to us. In the "hunter-gatherer" days, they'd stick to their own tribe, and the enemy was the other tribe who was only there to steal your resources and women. So over time it became ingrained into us(humans) that those who are different to us, either...
