How do you generate an income?

Was formerly a pencil pusher at a corporate, got fed up with the mundane lifestyle. Switched to trading derivatives [vanilla and exotic] to earn a crust. It is currently interesting, but enthusiasm is beginning to wane as I grasp most of the intracacies. The upside is it pays well with room for autonomy and reasonable hours.
Figured out a while back that to pursue my interests either 1) get a decent high paying job with okay hours - so that hobbies can be pursued or 2) go for the things I have a passion for [which usually has minimal demand and pay lol] but be financially uncomfortable.

Male. What can I say? I got a pyramid instead of a valley

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

Well, I got an email about studying tips and they said take the personality test to find what my best studying type would be, so I did. I test INTJ 90% of the time but I am no INTJ, and I relate much better to the INTP, so I say I am INTP. Also after spending some time on the INTJ forum, most people agree there, that I am an INTP. lol

How did you find out about this forum?

After discovering that I fit the INTP mold much better, I did the only rational and logical thing I could do.... I consulted the wise and all powerful google, in hopes of finding my true identity.

No. So sad, I know.

No. I would cry if I had kids at this young of an age.

None that are mine, but yes I do live with a very special cat. He cannot jump, meow, never lands on his feet and plays fetch. Very confused cat.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?

Writing, art, reading, thinking, working out, and trying to fix my above problem about the whole partner thing. Not much luck finding that right girl yet, though. Otherwise I love to read and I find it very relaxing. Writing is my greatest pashion though and I am writing my first novel, that is now 140,000 words, yet not even close to being done. lol. So I just keep writing and eventually I believe a good point will come when I can just stop and say ok now I am writing the second one. Also I really enjoy being outside while doing the above mentioned things. Much more room to breath.

Eventually the same friend mentioned above linked me to these very forums in reference to the "You Know You're an INTP When..." thread. And after browsing said thread a lightbulb appeared above me (well not really, but I wish it had) and I thought, these forums could be very useful to me.

Hardest thing about being INTP?
Being so high needs. I need to challenge myself, physically and mentally, so frequently it causes some crazy issues.

 

[Linsejko]

I like. Of course, I'm more into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu myself, but I have some respect for Kung Fu--if you just had Tae Kwan Do, it wouldn't mean much, but the Kung Fu belt lends it some legitimacy.

 

[antedox]

Well, the Tae Kwan Do is actually a joint TKD/Hapkido belt. I just abbreviated for brevity's sake. I guess, technically, I've got three black belts.

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

I don't recall the preamble, but I took an online test and was absolutely amazed to read the description of INTP and finally understand there's some sort of basis for why I am the way I am.

It was this piece that struck me like a thunderbolt:

"[FONT=Tahoma,Helvetica]... it is common to see INTPs dabbling at many things, achieving competency, just enough to prove to themselves that they could become more proficient if they wished, but rarely actually bothering to refine their skills further..."[/FONT]

What's your gender?
Male

How did you find out that you were INTP?
I think it started with a facebook app, (which was horribly inaccurate,) but spawned enough interest in me to run around and take every MBTI test on the net. Most classed me as INTP (with one or two calling me ISTP), and after reviewing the symptoms and comparing them with my life. I agreed.

How did you find out about this forum?

What's your gender?

Male

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

I took a myers-briggs esque test, read Please Understand Me II, studied myself, decided I was INFJ, and then figured out I had a really poor perception of myself. But I'm still not certain what type I am, though I'm guessing INTP, especially considering that most people who know me call me laid-back, logical, weird, non-party person, and old for my age (not sure if the last one is INTPish though).

How did you find out about this forum?

I typed in "intp forums" and skipped over intpcentral.

Do you have a partner/lover or kids or pets?

Nope

Which hobbies absorb...

Well I most like reading, discovering lofty ideas, working out with a friend of mine, camping, and, at least for the time being, writing programs, but I would have to say that video games absorb me the most. That, by the way, is NOT a good thing, and I usually operate on the "all or none" principle to keep it from overtaking my life. Ack. I recently set it back to none, which is what brings me here.

How do you generate an outcome?

I'm currently draining thousands of dollars a year on college education. Next!

Anything else?

Yeah! Favorite Quote: "...we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good; for one of two things—either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by dreams... I say that to die is a gain; for eternity is then only a single night." --Socrates in Apology

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I took the MBTI tests every so often since being introduced in junior high. They used to give them to us to help us figure out what we wanted to be. Over the years, though I have changed a lot, I am always INFJ. Except if I am at work I am more TP-ish.

How did you find out about this forum?
I had an online/long distance relationship with an amazingly enthralling INTP. He was a member here and introduced me.

Of course I do

I have a little dog whose name is Bane, I got him second hand when he was 8 months old and I guess they named him right. He is high strung and emotionally damaged. Poor pooch.
I also have a Crow who is partially blind with a 5 word vocabulary and amazingly sweet temperment.

 

[Schneizel]

I live in the UK.
I am eighteen years old.
I am male.
I diagnosed myself INTP after reading the profile on several websites.
I found this website by googling "INTP forum".
I have no partner.
I have no children.
I have one cat.

I have no real "hobbies", instead just wasting time with things that can be done from the (relative) comfort of the computer chair: MSN, TV shows/movies, video games, novels, fora, random internet browsing.

I enjoy "speculative fiction"(in all forms of fictional media, books, movies and video games), but dislike non-fiction books: they often take hundreds of pages to provide the brief overview the internet can manage in a few paragraphs.

I have passing interests in the fields of theoretical physics, philosophy, psychology and sociology. I will occasionally hear about a concept in one of those categories and spend a few days learning about it and related concepts (and they often overlap), but have no desire to devote much energy to a single field and so have no academic ambition. Of course, other things interest me too, but those are the things I can most often be found learning about.

In terms of politics/law/morality, I can come across as extremely detached and objective, and in some cases I really do have no feelings on a subject, so my almost sociopathic emotionless logic can offend some people - but offence is a concept I don't have the capacity for and so have no interest in learning how to avoid causing it: people who have an emotionally negative response to logic have a problem they should fix, not the other way around.

When I do have strong feelings on a particular matter of politics/law/morality, I consider them irrelevant and will consider only what is logical in a discussion.

This post is rather extensive for a mere introduction, but at the same time as introducing myself I have been quantifying attributes about myself I already knew, but hadn't put into words or seen on one page and so this has been far more interesting to write than it likely was for you to read the portion you did before skipping to this paragraph and so I can't blame you for that.

To be perfectly honest... my short term memory doesn't really care to dredge it up... I think I was linked it by someone, or through some type descriptive page... or maybe google. *facepalm*

Do you have a partner/lover?

I do. Lawl at partner/lover. I mean, I get it, but I can just imagine a Sherlock claiming the partner rather exuberantly and pretty much proving his type but filling his fail quota.

How did you find out that you were INTP?
I found out that I'm INTJ by mistyping myself as an INTP, basically I guess because the INTP description satisfied how thinking-based I wanted it to be. When I got learning about the functions though, and interacting with INTP's/INTJ's, I found my correct place.

How do you generate an income?
Well if you can call it that, I work part time in a coffee shop but most of my money bleeds into school costs. Sometimes I gig or fix people's computers for money.

Hardest thing about being INTx?
The world expecting me to act and think a certain way, so that I always have to compromise my own needs a bit just in order to get by.

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

Numerous different online tests. Upon further review it's frightening how accurate the personality profiles for INTP describe me.

How did you find out about this forum?

Stumbled upon it in a period of introspection after a break up (these emotion things, they frighten & confuse me :-) ). Been a' googling INTP, realized that I'm not the only one suffering from the 'poor emotional/social skills' and hoping to find some support/guidance as I work on those skills a bit (as well as comeing to terms with myself as I am).

Not currently, I'm a 'sexual cammel' with long dessert travels in my life (as I suspect many here also can attest to?)

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

My mother found the test years ago, but I didn't figure out what type I was right away. I did manage to print off all of the profiles and spend hours reading them, however. Then I put them on the floor and more recently found them under the bed. Since then, I went onto a personality application on Facebook and got an an answer that somewhat fit me. So I researched some more on-line, having thrown out the papers I'd printed right before I needed them again. Then I discovered I was and INxP. My childhood does not make it clear which I started as, but I am certain that I am now an INTP with a highly developed F.

How did you find out about this forum?

I was looking for more information about INTP versus INFP because the test on the Facebook application gave me an INFP despite other tests having given me an INTP.

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

I don't remember. I think it was some random personality test a friend who does 1 million quizzes sent me. I read the description of an INTP (the long one on intp.org) and it BLEW MY FRIGGIN MIND. Its me to a T, Timmy T. INTP. Seriously!!! ...Ok enough of that.
How did you find out about this forum?

I actually sort of let go of the INTP thing for a while forgetting about it. Been a few years. And some how on a random choose your own adventure esque moment on wikipedia I stumbled upon the description of the Schizoid personality which left me freaked and reeling. I had a random insight that it might be connected to INTP ness and I seem to have been pretty close. (How INTP of me to randomly associate the 1% morbidity of Schizoidnness and INTPness... +1 self-awareness).

And upon lurking the forum a bit I realized I wasn't done with MBTI stuff. I really want to read Please Under Stand me II. And whatever else. I'm a newb so everyone feel free to point me in a direction, or 3 ...i'll tackle it all.

Do you have a partner/lover?

Nope. Its wierd because its one of those... I don't have time reasons. I'm making sort of an attempt at career change right now so I can't afford the sheer amount of time that a relationship can consume.

I plan on trying to find someone in a few years though.

Do you have any kids?

No kids and its a subject I'm torn on. Part of me wants to impart my collected wisdom so its not wasted but part of me just doesn't want kids. So maybe i'll leave it up to fate.

Do you have any pets?

None but I really want a cat some time. Do room mates count? They are basically animals.

Peace.

Once I became interested, I took the test several times from several sources until I had a few narrowed down(INTP included). I then compared and contrasted the profiles in my definite range(IXTX). INTP was the conclusion and further investigation has only continually proven than. Although I still doubt from time to time for no good reasons.

I think I found out about the Myers-Briggs personality types during my random personal research during high school. I took the test and it said I was INFP. After a while I forgot about it but happened to come across mypersonality.info and took the test again and came out INTP. After reading what INTP's are like more closely, it seemed to be a surprising accurate description of me compared to INFP.

I think I was watching some INTP vids on youtube and heard mention of a forum. So I decided to check it out.

How did you find out you were INTP?
Stumbled across the MBTI test ages ago (can't even remember where), and tested initially as INTJ. However something just didn't "click" about this, and after a few months of research/introspection etc I worked out I actually had a strong P preference (not sure why I tested initially as a J... I guess I underestated how disorganised etc I am in the answers).

Funnily enough I've discovered I'm not even close to an INTJ, and if anything am almost INFP at times.
