I was on fanfiction (being bored) and someone had a little picture on their profile, saying 'I am the Deacth note character L' etc. and it described them a bit, but it also had the letters INTP on it, so I wondered what it was, and (Having taken the test) I got INTP too.

[saffyangelis]

Hey, Fukyo, do you know anyone called....
Splemenka, Luka, Ivo, Ilya or Vladamir? 'cos they live in Belgrade, and I'm related to them.

 

[Fukyo]

It's unlikely I know them,since belgrade has about 2 mil. inhabitants and these names are common.However,if you happen to have a facebook account,you can try the name search there.facebook's recently become very popular in belgrade and a lot of people are using it.I helped my mom find some long lost friends from Croatia via facebok.

 

[saffyangelis]

I don't have facebook, but my sister does. We tried that already, but no luck =(

We've met them though, so we have email adresses somewhere.

 

[Fukyo]

saffy,I'm curious.Do you speak any Serbian?

 

[saffyangelis]

Two words
Farla and Voda (I don't know if I'm spelling them right, my grandma and grandad are fluent, and we went on holiday with them to Belgrade, and that was all I picked up from listening)

 

[Fukyo]

haha voda is water,farla isn't a word,maybe you meant "hvala" - thank you.It's sometimes said "fala".
It's a shame you don't know it I was looking forward to chatting with you.
So what do you think about Belgrade?

 

[saffyangelis]

It's written Hvala? It was thank you, but i'm trying to guess from hearing it.
=( I wish I could speak it properly, but my dad never learnt it, and I don't have anywhere I can learn it really.

Belgrade was really cool, it was nice and sunny =) We went around a market, I can't remember what it was called, but it sold loads of stuff, which you never see in England, which was fun to look around. One of the parts I think was most memorable, was when me and my sister (ESFJ) were dancing in the back of the taxi we were in, and the driver gave us such a funny look. We visited everyone I mentioned earlier, (but I couldn't understand anything they said=() and they had a farm! (and there were cats everywhere, which I didn't expect)

It was interesting, and I'd love to go back someday, but i'll try to learn Serbian first, so I don't end up getting lost. =)

 

[Fukyo]

I hope you're successful if you decide to take on the language.
Have you seen the Knez Mihajlova street?If you don't know the name,one of it's prominent landmarks is a big statue of a guy on a horse.

 

[saffyangelis]

Yup! Our hotel was really close by, and we spend about a day wandering up and down it.

Why?

 

[Fukyo]

Nothing,it's just one of the better places so I was wondering if you've seen it.

 

[lucazin]

Well, I have many names and at the same time none. Pretty funny. My name is Lucas, very pleasure.

I'm from the frozen land called Brazil but I live in Portugal.

How old are you?

I am fifteen...

What's your gender?

Male

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

One day I were just reading things through the net and I asked myself what kind of person I were. I googled "mypersonality" and take the MBTI test. The result: INTP. So, I did nothing about it and even thought about the test until I began to ask myself (but in a serious way) what kind of person I were. I remembered the site I've done the test and did it again and the result was the same. Since them I've done the same test at least ten times in the same site and in others and the result was always the same. So, I think I'm totally a INTP. (Although I ask if it isn't wrong every day, helping to prove and I'm reallllyyyy a INTP).

How did you find out about this forum?

Well, I saw it in some INTP description site. I am not sure in whose.

Do you have a partner/lover?

Not currently.

Do you have any kids?

I'm a kid myself.

Do you have any pets?

I grew up in a house that was a really zoo with at least 10 animals. 6 dogs, 2 cats and 2 canaries, but I don't have anyone into my house now.

Hardest things about being an INTP?

I didn't read many descriptions before I write this but I see that many have the same problem than me. Loneliness, people usually don't take much time thinking about me I bet.

Best things about being an INTP?

That you're crazy! At least I'm always thinking about many things and can understand them, even the more complex. I'm always trying to figure out news things and explanations but it rarely is something I'm studying at school and my notes are not good as they could because I can just concentrate on it in the classroom.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
HowStuffWorks, history, natural science (astronomy and physics), music (principally Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix), books (within all this hobbies get together, less music...), Wikipedia

What is your education like?

I study at a modest high school where I learn Portuguese ("minha língua compatriota"), Physics, Chemestry, Biology, Geology, English and Math. Last year a had others grades as French and History but this year the grades are more specificated to Sciences as you can see.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

I got an e-mail from someone about INTP's and was surprised at how accurately it described me, so I immediately started researching and took a few personality tests.

How did you find out about this forum?

I saw a link to it on an INTP description site.

Do you have a partner/lover?

Not currently.

Do you have any kids?

No

Do you have any pets?

1 cat

Hardest things about being an INTP?

Other people not understanding my view of things.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?

Video games probably occupy the largest portion of my time. I especially enjoy RPGs such as the Final Fantasy series or Oblivion. Survival horror would be second, though it is difficult to find good games in this genre. Right next to that would be shooters and any sort of strategy game (I'm currently working on beating the advanced challenges on Portal). I also enjoy mathematics and the Discovery or Science channels.

I read about the Enneagram-types in a science-magazine. So I looked for an online test and scored as a 5. I did some research and stumbled upon the MBTI and there I scored first as an INFP, but many tests later I´m sure that I´m an INTP.

As far as I can remember I saw a link to this forum somewhere in the sinister depths of the internet.

I have one because I forgot to Falcon Punch after I got Teen Pregnant

Do you have any pets?

I have a dog who now looks like a rat because she was just shaved. I also have a cat who looks like my dog and therefore a rat, a really fat rat, because she was just shaved. I have a lizard and a really well tempered rock(feel free to ask for her picture).

Hardest things about being an INTP?People have a hard time understanding me sometimes. When I feel really strongly about something sometimes I’m arguing before I know my mouth is open. Physical contact makes me uneasy which makes some of my family members sad.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
I play video games excessively; especially DS games because its portable and you can play it lying down with the light off for hours without anyone knowing. I read excessively too. If i really just feel like reading i will read anything especially if it doesn’t have an opinion its just an instruction book like "how to repair antique dolls" or if its fantasy. I get sucked up into fantasy series all the time. I draw a lot, mostly the female figure because its round and flows better than any other subject. I spend a lot of time online, lurking on forums mostly because a lot of the time I’m too afraid to post. I also take pictures. Hundreds of pictures of myself. This is probably one of the stranger things that I do. I will dress up and think of a theme and then just take around 50 pictures and then delete all the bad ones. Spit, Rinse, Repeat. Until my camera runs out of battery. I walk a lot too because it helps me think. I cant think when walking with someone who messes up the flow of my walking but I can walk and think with certain people. I sometimes find myself feeling really restless and so i just walk and walk and walk, but most of the time I’m too lazy and watch television instead. I walk once a day though, its become routine, I walk almost all the way to the mall and back.
Alot of the activitys I do routeenly or excessively are influenced by my OCD as much as my being INTP.

What's your gender?

I appear to be anatomically female.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

I tested as an INTJ several years ago. But all the internet tests tell me I’m INTP. And things on the internet are ALWAYS right.

How did you find out about this forum?

Some link from one of those tests...

Do you have a partner/lover?

Yes, I have a boyfriend of ~6 years, who I met online. He is similar to me personality-wise. So we live in filth, which I read somewhere is appropriate for two of our type.

Do you have any kids?

No. Although I may consider conducting this kind of social experiment in the future. They will be called Kang and Kodos.

Do you have any pets?

I have a cat - Loki, Ruler of the Known Universe (which is currently comprised of my lap), Generator of Sounds and Fur.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?

Sleeping. Eating. Avoiding work. Annoying my cat. I also enjoy fitness activities – if I’m doing them alone. I used to like reading real books, but then I went to university.

How do you generate an income?

I work erratically as a librarian for an engineering company. I don’t mind the engineers as they mostly seem like reasonable people (and they leave me alone), but I’m not a fan of many of the “administrative support” people. Incompetents! I had my last straw with them last week, so now I’m plotting my exit. If they don’t fire me first. In any case, I ought to be job hunting, but that would be boring. Hence, the wasting of time on this little rant.

Hardest thing(s) about being INTP?

Wanting to know everything, but knowing that I never will. And humans. Humans everywhere! Who think that if I’m not giggling and smiling and bouncing around like f-ing cheerleader then I must be horribly unhappy. (Can I swear on this forum? I do love to curse.) How did I end up being part of the human race again? Anyway – much of what others have already said applies to me here as well (gasp!).

 

[loveofreason]

You like ravens and you have a cat called loki!!! Excellent. Make yourself at home.

What's your gender?
Female

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
Took various tests over the years. They usually come out as either INTP or INFP - I don't know which I actually am, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those. The T or F seems to depend on what's going on in my life, what classes I'm taking, etc.

How did you find out about this forum?
I either found a link while researching INTP, or googled it (can't remember which - yes, sometimes I have a pretty bad memory).

Do you have a partner/lover? + Do you have any kids?
No to both

Do you have any pets?
Yes! My family has a very sweet dog.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Reading (both on and offline), programming whimsical and useful things for fun, and random puzzleish games (recently crosswords, a 5x5 rubik's cube, and text twist have been predominant).

Hardest thing(s) about being INTP?
I often start projects or trains of thought that seem exciting and interesting, and pursue them for a short while. Then I don't finish them - sometimes it's because other such projects replace them. Once in a while I get lots and lots of ideas and feel overwhelmed with them all. Lately I've tried to just accept this and, when starting a project, recognize that it probably won't come out the way I imagine it. Then it becomes a project done for fun, and I don't try to reign myself in - I allow myself to branch out, pursue other trains of thought, and just wander in idea-land. It's hard to accept it, but once I do, it can be quite enjoyable. The problematic part happens when it's not a project for fun but an assignment for school or some other 'required' thing that I must finish.
This is an INTP tendency, right?

 

[JoeJoe]

This is an INTP tendency, right?

Absolutely.

Feel at home here, be friendly to everybody (except for Melkor, NoID10ts and loveofreason) and try not to get yourself killed too easily.

 

[saffyangelis]

So they can be friendly to me? yay!

I do that all the time. I tried learning a dozen languages, musical instruments, and all sorts of stuff, and I've given them all up.

 

[Dissident]

This is an INTP tendency, right?

Oh yes, yes indeed. You will find some threads about it around here like the "revolving interests" one. We have some INFPs too so I guess you will be able to tell which one you actually are without much problem. Welcome to the forum.

 

[LucasM]

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes I have a pretty bad memory also, especially for names. But I turn that to my advantage for a conversation starter sometimes.
