Wow, It appears that this guy shares similar interests with me and seems to have achieved self-actualization. However, it's worth noting that despite being a fully trained psychiatrist, he doesn't seem to practice psychiatry much, which is ironic given the extensive years of study involved(...

Hey Zen, why do you see yourself as a bad fit for giving career advice? I mean, I feel exactly the same way, but I still dish out career tips regularly as part of my job (hello, impostor syndrome!). And guess what? I pretty much tell people the same thing you just did – the only cure for...

Hey everyone, I used to be active on this forum about 10 years ago, and it really helped me through a tough time when I was younger and figuring things out as an INTP. Looking back, I'm amazed at the patience the community had with me back then. Fast forward to now, I've become a doctor...

What does it mean to be very intelligent? Honnestly I don't know any more.. there are so many definitions by now. I've been aquainted with very smart people for the past 10 years and the funniest thing i've realized is that they come in all shape. At the highest end of giftedness, the only thing...

Hey, I was always fascinated by the mind and neuroscience in general; so I worked after my med school for 6 years as a psychiatrist( a lot of UPs and downs; I went there being very idealistic and now let's say I have a more realistic view of that field- which as you can imagine is not always...

What do you mean? In which ways did my post change your perspective? About this forum being very helpful I agree; back in the days some major contributors who were older and had more life experience helped me to have a better understanding of life; I don't remember everyone but flr example...

* I meant MP

hey am a MD near you; in Switzerland in residency as a psychiatrist. Yeah not as exciting or as a great fit as I thought( because there are a variety of other personnality types in that field). Feel free to MD if you want...

Hey my people; I'm back After a hiatus of nearly 7 years. I was extremely active here in my 20s (now in my thirties) and Reading my old posts I realize how Silly I was back then and i'm ashamed by the number of spelling mistakes too. I'm happy to be back and si many things changes: i'm no...

I'm not Sure if it's typical of INTPs but i always wanted to be immune to social conditioning/social control through conformity and social norms...etc Basically I've always wanted to live my life the way I wanted. Not to sound arrogant but I'm a multipotentialist meaning that I happen to be...

I'm actually currently dating with an infj. Her problem? She's too much... She's amazing but she's also crazy and clingy and horny. She cares for me, she breastfeed me with her amazing cities... The relationship is just out of this world. But then again, she might be an enfj.. the amount of...

Hey guys, who amI exactly? Can someone tell me? I constantly score INTP but many people have pointed out How I might actually be an ENTP or anINFP instead. The reality is I might actually inbetween those three. What seem to be certain is that I'm some sort of an NP. I heard that ENTP were...

Man, i had this for several years... It's our kryptonite Man.(the routine, the boredom,...). The only way is to practice your passions on the side.. do novel things, try things out and do what you love Man. No secret, your life is not a life man, life is about balance: work to eat, play to live...

Who cares.... Any type can do anythings and any type can love aynone. Isnt that the consensus?

It's not really a question... Just an openended question.... I've always been attractee to why we give more or less attention to certain things or people...and lately the topic came back... Look at kids, dogs,...etc They are very attractive and get naturally a lot of attention, most of times...

... And there...she.. goes.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CZXLLMbJdZ4 Wow, Sinny, thanks for the memories... :)

Haha thanks man, thanks for the attention. :p And yeah, smarts are becoming secondary in our day and age I guess...

Your prerogative right? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dIOH8Trfas4

Haha very nice one. You got all my attention with that one... For sure you must be a professional attention seeker. You do that so good my my my... :p Also sorry for my writing. I write like a dummy but I just bought a smartphone for my first time... :confused: not very good with technology.

I'm open to the idea that I'm missing on something. I used to not care about attention and more... I used to hâte all the attention... Yet i kept on having it( because people give it to people who don't want it...). When brainwashing started, things started to change.... Bd that's very funny...

Lately i've been also thinking about How people actually confuse attraction and attention.. or about How people fall in love with attention rather than someone.. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I've been thinking lately about the notion of attraction and attention in the public Space. Lately i've been analyzing interactions in public Space and one thing struck me hard was... Attention(or mini love as I call it...). It seems as we live in a love/mini attention deprived...

Psychiatry: - A lot of Ti( a lot of thinking about the world, humanity, philosophy,..etc) - Plenty of Ne( Being openminded, learning to accept and to help anyone,..etc) - Some Fe(social skills, interview skills, helping the people,...Etc) - Some Si(the facts, the names, the drugs, 2dary...

If anyone cares to hear it, let me know and I will continue to share but I have no problem being short either. Go for it man! No one will reprimand you here for being too long... I'm curious to hear in what ways you have changed and in what ways you still are the same!

It's funny; when I was younger I could be seen and perceived as ambitious(mainly because of my dummy surrounding and the feelings of underachievement)... Now that i'm surrounded by truely hardworking, succesful, smart and ambitious people I actualy dn't feel ambitious anymore. Crazy. So yeah...

One day an old priest told me that a good job is something: 1° I'm naturally talented for/ skilled for. 2° I love 3° Earns some money Everyone wants point 3, but not everyone loves the same or has the same skills. The problem in our societies is that people who go for point 3 are valued...

Hey Man wanna meet? I'm also a niceman intp interested in journalism and cultural studies and around the same age currently living in Brussels. I'm curious to see a real life intp specimen. Join for a coffee whenever you pass by or need to be reenergized, you caught my attention . You can inbox...

Sure editor one! But how do you know the "I" is still there when everyone around behaves in the same range/spectrum of normality... It's by faking it that WE become and ultimately make it right?! Sometimes i feel anxious that i might eventually be stuck in the robe forever(and diluting my...

Smith, I'm happy sure or atleast I am by society's standards...i always have been in conflict with the notion/concept of happiness(and despised for a long time happy/overly happy people!)as advertized in our modern societies. I guess i don't lack anything substantial, so yeah I'm content! And...

What do you mean sinny? Do you mean that u used to be abnormal even to your own standards...? Funny hey! I guess it also has to do with the fact that WE are usually late/early bloomers? WE reach the developmntal milestones a bit later or earlier.... Which can cause some inbalance i guess. To...

Haha; i felt like a misfit for the first 25 years of me life; almost autistic in the beginning.Yet my desire to gain social power and social acceptance made me take certain life traditional choices... While it's true i prefere novelty.. Now here am I, late twenties and I actually feel normal...

I never studied in high school( BUt I suffered probably from ADD, some sort of depression, and pathological daydreaming, pathological boredom...Etc). Sounds stereotypical, but I nevr did that shit... I began to study very late in life, but still I did it wrong. Matter of fact, there seem to...

Of course it does.

It seem to me that cognitive bias are everywhere; and contribute to a large chunk of our societal beliefs... some examples and their power. Black people are dumb(power: average) Muslims are terrorists/extremists(power: weak) White people are boring(power: weak to average) Beautiful people are...

I'm particularly interested about cognitive biais, it seems to be everywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases heck it out, there are so many cognitive bias. I'm curious to know if there is a science/ discipline studying them( philosophy maybe? neurophilosophy...

They used to call me a night angel... the night is my best friend: Quiet, scary, mysterious...

It seems obvious to me that homeschooling would be the best way to have smart kids... Social skills? Can be deveopped by doing social activities( team sports, games,..etc).

OK, i get that homeschooling takes time, money and effort. I'm also aware that developping social intelligence is important. But besides those, why not? Personnaly I've struggled the first 2 decades of my life with school issues( not enough autonomy, not enough time to explore the things...

To be even more specific; here are the result of a study about mbti types in psychology. The job of a psychologist is a bit different of that of a psychiatrist. WIth psychiatrist tending to be more of Thinkers than feelers; but all in all it's very close. ANd here are the results:Basically...

Man, thiz good; very good !!

Artsu Tharaz President? Anyone?

I drop out but I always come back to my initial choice(the result is that I go slowlier than other people in that same path, but I've got something more(or less?), don't know what it is exactly..)... how do you call that? Semi drop-out? Or more like a round trip? I feel like dropping out is a...
