'Oh yes, it's so fantastically true it's wonderful. I usually reply by trying to point out that my work involves developing original ideas and models, and also by pointing out, at least in my...
Although, I just realised, to be fair it's not that commonly said to me, as compared to things like How the hell do you know about this!?
That because I am good at maths and science, and because I read a lot, that that somehow makes other people more creative than me.... that is, people say words to the effect of Oh, you are good...
Yeah I can understand what your saying - I had the same problem when I was one of those children things we've all seen running around on weekends. I used to ask questions and get an unsatisfactory...
Aeroplanes made out of whale blubber. We'll have them one day. We are yet to make the full transition to human.
Your brain goes every which way is possible, up, down, sideways whilst doing back flips and blowing raspberries. Ideas come and go and your head seems to create ideas as quickly as it leaves them...
Haha ... brilliant.
I think we're far more likely to act like clowns and make fools of ourselves. In a group of rationals, NTJs are probably judging me or taking me a bit too seriously, whereas the INTP at least quietly...
Production surely just means what it always meant and always will mean doesn't it? It's just that we produce different things and the division of labour continues to create more and more specialisms...
What could go wrong?
I think it's hard to say since both capitalism and socialism have so many variants. Sometimes what people call socialism can have many similar traits to what we call capitalism; you still have trade,...
Currently a doctoral student... I'm supposed to introduce myself to people as a Research Engineer.
I'm always smiling... especially if I'm on the London Underground; I can see everyone else looking miserable and tired and so I like to smile since I know everyone there will sinisterly stare at me...
Not sure, it's hard to say. I think that maybe being ENTP means you play a certain role within a group rather than being member of a particular group itself, at least to a significant extent. What...
Prefer Fs mainly, ESFP INFJ ENFJ .... If the J is too strong I may end up going mad and start committing horrific crimes against humanity, but hey... I'll give it a go anyway.
Have you experienced issues with self-esteem as Ne-Ti or Ti-Ne? Yep. For the past six years or so... its getting better since about a year a go I realised that the shyness and self-doubt I was...
So true ... I've long believed that if they're going to report stuff like this, they should have a massive sign up in the background saying Not News, like they do for Sport or Weather.
I am very interested in current affairs and such stuff, in fact the vast majority of my procrastination is reading news articles, googling political topics and stuff like that. In terms of news...
Hehe, that could quite easily be true :P. Although I have to ask, does it only count as people watching if it is for the sake of people watching? Does it count if we're observing people for the...
Yeah ... although are there many people who don't people watch from time to time?
194618 Here.... it's a Sad Panda. I like it. Feels appropriate for this thread.
The doctor from doctor who :P. Gandalf the Grey, more so than the white. Gandalf the Grey seems to be a bit more chilled, he drinks lots of beer and hangs around with hobbits seemingly just for...
Hehe, I have to have about 3 or 4 books on the go at once otherwise I'll not get through them. Rather than reading one book all they way through, start to finish, I read one and then when I got bored...
I know one ENTJ, though not very well. One thing the springs out immediately when I think of him is that he is obsessed with money - it's all he wants and he'll never be seen wearing cheap clothes,...
Hehe, one of my lectures told me if I ever get asked a question to which I don't know the answer just say Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and it'll usually be right.
Haha .... yeah that's a fair point. It's one of those things where I've started out joking but the joke seems to have ended up gaining a little more rationality behind it than I expected ;).
.... wait .... Dam. I almost thought of something then but it's gone now... still seems like a good plan.
I don't see anything wrong with this plan whatsoever, not only do we solve the population crisis, but the survivors would presumably be immune to the black death... so we would have achieved a great...
Mild social anxiety and occasionally poor social skills. In fact, the social anxiety can be occasional as well. There are just certain situations where I may or may not end up feeling so...
Most people would describe me as far-left, though I use that term reluctantly since the terms right and left are usually used in a derisory way and they also oversimplify things a bit too much...
One thing I love to do: If person A and person B really despise one another I turn to person A, for example, when he is on his own and go Hey, A, you know you really remind me of B, you two are...
When I saw the title of this thread I was seriously hoping that procrastinatio was going to be some sort of Spanish or Italian super-hero, possessing incredible powers of procrastination. Please...
Mum: ENFP - Warm, energetic and laid back. Also loves to gossip. Dad: ISXJ - Controlling, pompous and quite closed-minded - Sometimes I consider the possibility he could be sociopathic due to his...
Probably says it all there.... I get the strong suspicion that many people on forums such of these just look at two paragraphs off of some website that describe Myers-Briggs types and use that for...
...well I'm entitled to my own opinion.. Normally said after you quite clearly show what they said was wrong, clearly a redundant thing to point out, as I am not telling them they don't have an...
Do any of you find NTs 'unimaginative'? I have definately been refered to as lacking in imagination because of my interests, such as science and math, whilst ignoring my other interests in less...
Used to love killing anything that crawled in my backgarden, just for fun. At uni, during an ant invasion, I did preoccupy myself with pouring boiled water over them in my kitchen. This is...
I have after the past few days been thinking about contrarian and conspiracy theorist attitudes. I can't help thinking that someone being a contrarian for its own sake, that is, taking unorthodox...
Like I said, we are going round in circles. I have shown why the burden of proof lies with you, before you ask for argument or evidence on my part, you have to justifiably shift the burden to me. The...
We seem to be going around in circles on this one. I must point out perhaps what I mean exactly by the word Claim, I think I have done so far only implicitly. A claim is an assertion, or...
Extraverts can help me get me out of my shell as long as they acknowledge me, but if I am around too many extraverts or people too extraverted I feel exceptionally uninterested all of a sudden....
Immediate ruthless dictatorship, destroy all minorities and kill anyone who engages in thoughtcrime. The one person left wins at life and gets an island.
Not quite, firstly I stressed that even science shouldn't and doesn't claim to know things it doesn't, it's self critical and more importantly it only speculates about unexplained phenomena, any...
You have made a presumption in my argument, I am not trying to attribute the unexplained to any belief system, it is unknown by definition, if we knew the cause of the unexplained or how it works, it...
When sitting with friends at a table, I tend to fiddle and unknowingly create structures out of menus, salt and pepper shakers and such. It's part of the fact I can quickly lapse into deep thought or...
I don't see how that counts for a good reason for believing in god, if you admit a great deal is not yet explained how can it be attributed to the existence of god, by nature of it's current mystery...
Firstly, I have read a few pages but not the whole thread, sorry if you have to repeat yourself. :) Agreed about your first point on our inability to absoloutly prove or disprove God's...
Early in my school life I was surrounded by nothing but S types, in both my close friends and people who just knew merely of me and I never really got bothered by it. I definately noticed that my...'
