I used to be even a lot more sensitive when I was younger. For example, I couldn't stand wearing socks with these 'stitched edges' at the toes. Drove me mad. That kind of stuff I sort of lost during my development or something.

The problem with faces is that we have a holistic way of looking at the world, whereas drawing faces actually requires you to see things as they are and not how you (unconsciously) interpret things. You for example don't see the shape that you would usually draw when you draw a face. When you...

I notice that other people help me relax. I'm not sure if I'm an INTP. Guess it's not a very INTP-ish thing to go for the socializing to feel better. It's not just any social contact that helps though, but for example playing music with a friend, learning new things together with someone else...

Wondering if maybe part of me being down so much lately is due to the fact that I quit my anti-depressants too quickly. I quit in about 4 stages of 3 weeks each, lowering the dosage with the same amount every time. So 12 weeks altogether. It's hard to be sure, because around the time that I was...

At least some of these also seem to be about insecurity and not so much being highly sensitive (as highly sensitive is something that comes natural, where insecurity is learned behavior). I did score high enough myself though (22 as well). I just find the questions a bit... meh. For...

Yeah you know I am a very social person towards family and friends. But when it comes to most people, I find them shallow, annoying, uninteresting etc. So yeah, it's all relative. And yes, I'm also a bit insecure/shy socially, but not to the degree that I don't interact with people :)

The Road Less Traveled :)

It's funny, I was actually debating this same thing with my dad last night. I have some experience with web development, and I find it hard to imagine that a website that allows you to create a profile with some text, add some pictures, and then have a search functionality to search through...

The Social Butterfly You scored 52% empathic, 24% delusional, 55% sociable, and 30% law-abiding! You like people, a lot. You don't really care much about the law, but it doesn't much matter when you're on such good terms with everyone around you. So long as you don't get yourself into...

However, from what I can read from the very blurry picture they are also speaking of 'talking very loud' and 'music'. Of course that can be really annoying. It's easy to win when you're not being honest ;)

I have done this before, several times even, but I'm hesitant about it now. One of the girls I was casual with I eventually started to have an actual relationship with, even though we really didn't fit that well. We had a lot of fun being silly and sleeping together, but in other more serious...

I wish I forgot to eat actually. With me it's usually the other way around. I get bored and eat.

Yeah well. Not the first time humanity disappointed me. Don't even find it worth mentioning anymore.

Seems kind of hard to research. Don't know what the literature says about this, but you'd have to do some kind of psychological testing on newborns to be definitive I'd say.

In university I was lucky enough that we had weekly tutorial groups that you had to prepare for. You had to read articles, answer questions about them, and discuss it in the group. So basically that was my studying during the year. I barely studied for the tests themselves. A few hours maybe...

I'd have to agree with SpaceYeti. It's that simple. Partly it also depends on your definition of personality. When someone is very insecure because of past experiences, has this insecurity become part of their personality, or is it on top of their personality?

Wouldn't it be an idea to have people apply for a position like this? So, for example, they open a topic in a special subforum, write their motivation, and people can respond to let them know if they think they qualify for the position based on the motivation. Of course it's important to try to...

Same here. I'd say blue is my second best. Not just dark blue, also light blue.

I think he knows that. Or at least I hope he does, 'cause else he's just yelling stuff. 125 is obviously quite a bit above normal and close to 2 std devs (with std dev of 15) after which point you would be gifted.

I'm just going to keep throwing some stuff in here if you don't mind. I found this other explanation of 4w3 that totally describes me again (and makes me kind of seem like an F...?) : And sometimes I'm like this:

I'm not sure it's even skill related. For me it's... i don't even know what it is :) But it just happens, regardless of skill. I don't have to be good at something for it to happen. For the boredome to strike. Some of it is maybe also fear of failure, and probably also simply not knowing what to...

I'm not so sure what I am yet. That kind of defines us, doesn't it ? Us meaning you and me, not so much the INTPs.

Wow. You sound just like me not too long ago, and in some ways still. I'm exactly the same apart from the 'obsessions' as you call them. Also high intelligence, also lack of motivation and knowledge, also thought of aspergers or ADHD, also thought that I have to find my passion but couldn't find...

Proletar , any thoughts on my last post? I made the enneagram test today as well, and got 4w3. Individualist - achiever. This is a very accurate description of me. Especially the individualist.

I can see the truth in this post, but it's definitely true that it also requires a lot of time. And also gargantuous amounts of dedication, by the way. I think I'm simply too lazy for most of this. I'd suggest a good start is eating healthy, meditating regularly and exercising regularly. That...

I'd instinctively say that more posts in less time would probably point to less intelligence, as an intelligent post takes time, and more importantly, there is only so much interesting stuff to respond intelligently to, whereas nonsense can be posted at all times. Of course it's a rule of thumb...

Bwaaah that's a tough one. Do you by the way have any good source for me on the functions? I've googled, but I find the sources I find there quite confusing. For example, you are talking about Introverted Intuition being a perceiving function, even though that person can still be F instead of P...

Ok, now we have something to work with. I'd like to try to just throw some stuff at you and see if your perception changes. Of course I realize that also my behavior in this topic might shape me into something in your mind. That's great! First of all, something that might go against the...

Don't interpret this the wrong way but I have no idea how I should turn that into something concrete: ", people who have Se rather than Ne perceive things in a more concrete way. When someone with Ne looks at the world, it is in an abstract way. It is more the impression of something, the...

I don't see how that's equivalent. It's all a sliding scale so you might very well be somewhere in the middle of P and J.

All thoughts? I'm quite random at the moment. I'm in the middle of a move so whenever there's some free braintime i tend to be thinking about that. Edit: Actually I'm not random at the moment, I'm always random. Thought when I went to the toilet and saw my hairy legs: It would be interesting to...

Okay after trying several online tests and concluding that the questions are often too ambiguous for me, I am now trying to type myself based on the function descriptions. I would like to get some help with this. For the conclusions below I mostly used myersbriggs.org as a reference...

Thanks redbaron. That's interesting. I will give that a try.

Just to give some examples... - Yes, I do like parties. If with friends, people I actually like, that is. I have a negative association with parties because I can't relate with most people who 'party'. It's for example not so much about the drinking and more about the talking and sharing...

How do you guys type yourself? Did you read all the descriptions of the types and just see which one fitted best? I've noticed that with these MBTI tests at least half of the questions should get a 'it depends' answer for me. They ask you is it A or is it B, but it's never either. It depends...

Hi, (so polite huh) I'm a 25 year old dutch guy, and I'm most probably an INTP (sometimes I score INTP, sometimes INTJ, so I guess I'm a bit in between). The reason for me to sign up here is a life long quest for recognition, and that quest lead me here I guess. Through this website by the...
