Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'I daydream. A lot. I'll make up full-blown stories in my head. It's a lot of fun.

The quote is a description of the inner workings of the ISTP mind. What you're describing with the inventor vs the getrdun mode sounds like dominant Ne and weaker secondary Ti to me. ISTPs are...

Figure out ways to liven up routine stuff like housework. Also, self-bribery works wonders.

That's an impossible goal. You can't simply choose to forget your beliefs, and why should you? Poke them, prod them and question them relentlessly, but don't try to forget them. Beliefs are largely...

drmiller100 I'm having a Ne moment here. Do you relate to the following?

That we're all Doc Brown from Back to the Future and that we lack morals, ethics and a conscience.

You're depressed. Has it been a dark, crappy winter where you are? If so, maybe it's seasonal affective disorder. Go outside. Get some SUN. If you can't get sunlight on your skin, buy some Vitamin...

Saved from an unnecessary book purchase? ... I love you! *hugs*

All of your friends seem to be worried about you. The ones that call you stupid probably don't actually believe you ARE stupid. They have likely picked up on the fact that you would hate to be seen...

Personality, I think you're cursed here in the ENTP forum. If you create a post, the fighting WILL begin! :crying: Anyway, are you happy with the ESFP label? Does it fit like a glove? Is it like...

I think you INTPs might experience the cognitive empathy described here: Maria Konnikova

Having high standards in this regard is admirable, and the fact that you've openly admitted them (even on the internet) indicates courage. Very nice! When you meet the one, she might not live up...

Take away their freedom and make them feel stupid while you're at it.

One of my favorite people in the whole wide world happens to be an INFJ. Hanging out with her just seems quite natural. I can be myself without filtering.

I'm a hot head who experiences bouts of temper at unexpected times. For this reason, my family giggles uncontrollably at the idea of me being a cool headed rational. I get excited frequently, but...

You won't be able to talk him out of being a mooch. Cut him off. A hungry ENTP is a productive ENTP.

I've screamed Eww! twice during this thread; my dog thinks I'm insane.

I'm am disappointed with the guys listed. Of all the men in the world, why them?

Speak for yourself. :tongue: Finally! Someone brought God back into this discussion about spirituality. Immature ENTPs do this. I wouldn't say it's a mature trait. Learning to...

You're pretty awesome. Just saying. I never thought about what it would be like to have two teachers in a relationship. I LOVE to teach people, but not everyone likes to be taught. Fascinating!...

The ISTJs I've known have been awesome people. They haven't always been easy to get to know, but I value the stability they bring to a relationship. I can count on them, always, and it makes me want...

Incorrect is incorrect. There are many individuals who speak multiple languages with better skill and accuracy than you have demonstrated. I point this out because you are quick to label other people...

Would an ESTP be caught dead wearing a shirt that says: There's no place like 127.0.0.1? I don't really see it. I started off making the stuff I related to blue, but now it's all blue. So either...

Someone accused me of doing drugs not too long ago. When I got done laughing hysterically at the idea, they felt even more certain. Ha!

Hello, Clueless... I mean, Floo! :kitteh: You're too young to be accurately typed. Your tertiary function hasn't unfolded yet, making an accurate four letter typing improbable.

*imagines an ENTP city* Dear God! :shocked:

A though process? Hmm. I've never heard of that before. I'm not sure what an ideia is, either. Eufemism? Oh! Did you mean euphemism? :dry: Seriously? Maybe you should hold off on calling someone else...

When I was a child, I could and would talk to anyone about anything, any time or place. Then when I hit puberty, I was panicky about meeting new people; I would even choke up around people I knew....

Plenty of your quips were indeed pointless, and they failed to add anything of value to the discussion. You are being a bully, and ENTPs have no respect for bullies. Oh, and by the way, who made...

I went through cycles of tomboyishness followed by bouts of extreme girliness during my childhood years. It just depended on whether I cared enough to put forth the effort to be feminine; the default...

My negative (or traumatizing, for those with a dramatic bent) memories tend to pull energy away from me rather than towards me. They also make me a depressed and antisocial asshole. I've never tried...

Oh my gosh! What fun!!!

Hey, that's my line! Are you sure you're an ENTJ? 'Cause you sound an awful lot like an ENTP to me.

That movie is so NOT the bestest. Don't do it! Read the book (the book is excellent) but never, EVER watch the movie. It's a flaming pile of poo.

Be the awesomeness you wish to see in the world. - u200bGandhi

... when you realize you've been staring off and others are observing you with fascination.

Art is anything that delivers a powerful emotional experience. Books, music, paintings, nature. Even a meal can be an expression of art in everyday life. The world is brimming with art to enjoy.

I'm still trying to find the essence of the type myself. If you stumble upon anything amazing, please share. :kitteh:

On a team with me, they can't be fun. They're too busy trying to counter my antics and keep us moving towards the end goal. For an ENTP, Si is the anti-fun function. But for a Si-dom, I'm sure...

I don't understand the logic behind choosing ISTJ as the anti-ENTP. ISTJs are awesome, but stiff. They need to let loose sometimes. This is where an ENTP can help them out a bit. On a team, they...

America needs a better mental health system in place. When imbalanced people can't get the help they need, tragedies like this happen. It's not guns, videogames, drugs or anything else we like to use...

Alone in a room full of people is the most potent loneliness there is.

Hee hee. Here you go, then! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVn1oQL9sWg

Let's see... I fear never getting my shit together. I fear getting my shit together... too late! *dun dun dun* I fear losing my family/friends to sickness. Don't ask me why it's sickness....

I bet everyone comes here hoping that. :kitteh: Welcome to the forum. We have approximately 30 bajillion INFPs here, so surely someone will get you. :D

For today, I'm fixated on: * Personality theory * Improving written English skills/AP Style * Personal growth, productivity, achievement * Cooking

@the3rdpower Shall I break out the foil helmets? :shocked:

Get away from him immediately. If you think of him in the future, pray for him or something. But get yourself away.'
