Debater

Analysts ENTP

Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'I just took the cognitive process test here, and this is what I got. Cognitive ProcessLevel of Development (Preference, Skill and Frequency of Use) extraverted Sensing (Se) *********** (11.8)...

I realize this is a very old post, but anyway... I think the missing personality dimension you're referring to is neuroticism. All four of the Myers Briggs letter correlate with one of the...

This applies to me well too. Maybe even though I'm a guy I'm secretly really one of your female ENTPs? haha. One way in which I feel like I don't fit the typical ENTP description is that I'm not...

I enjoy the debating, as long as it remains civil. I like debating best when it feels like it's a discussion, a mutual search for truth, rather than a bare knuckled competition for victory. For me,...

This exactly summarizes my emotional intelligence, particularly the last bit. I'm still in my trying-not-to-hurt-or-offend-anyone phase though haha...

Really? No takers at all? It's alright, you don't have to be an authority to answer the question, you don't even have to know what you're talking about. All opinions, wild conjectures, gossip, and...

I am thoroughly confused about what my type is. As a kid I matched the childhood characteristics of an INFP and an ENTP. Then when I was a teenager I became very shy, withdrawn, and intellectual. I...

Ok, I really am sorry then. I just assumed you were in the other corner so to speak, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions just because I wasn't sure what you meant. Thanks for the defense. :happy:

I'm still confused, but thank you for this. snark·y/ˈsnärkē/ Adjective: (of a person, words, or a mood) Critical; cutting; testy. It's a fantastic word, don't you think? It makes me think...

What have I idealized? And why does it matter that I pointed out the language difference? More importantly, why are you so snarky all the time? EDIT: If curious's interpretation of what you're...

I have not stolen your signature. I was trying to communicate the idea to Myjazz that if it's meant to be, it will be, and if it's not, it won't, and I used a set phrase that means the same thing in...

Are you for real?

Thank you Myjazz. Qué será, será.

Just an update to give the thread some closure for now: I sent the letter last Tuesday on 8/17/2010, the same evening that I met with the INFJ friend I mentioned previously who had been in a...

Meh. Read my previous post. I already preempted this counterargument. I see. I meant that it was reasonable at the time the decision was made. Now, I think the rule is outdated, unnecessary,...

It's not about the attention, I assure you. It's just that I'm a very argumentative person lol. Seriously, it's my biggest character flaw. You have no idea how much trouble it used to get me into. ...

Fear was probably a bit of an exaggeration, but yes, and I seek ease that fear. What a fascinating personality conflict this is. Your words seem to indicate that to you, what is right and what one...

An MHP, you say. Interesting. Psychology is my favorite hobby. I can see I should explain myself to you since you know what you're talking about with this sort of thing. You're right, I...

Don't you think there's a difference between school rules and the laws of morality? And just to clarify, do you really think sending this letter is immoral?

The cobra? Please, let's not get that intimate. No, I didn't want to back out of the discussion because like you, I am easily tempted into these sorts of things, even though I know I shouldn't be....

So I'm being unscrupulous by sending the letter, am I? Here's a definition of unscrupulously from yourdictionary.com: not restrained by ideas of right and wrong; unprincipled I suppose...

If that's really what you meant, alright. However, generally when you say for the sake of argument, you're implying that you don't actually agree the idea in question, but you'd like to set that...

I got the impression from something that myjazz said that he was being disparaging me sending the letter. Perhaps I was mistaken. You're right, ad hominems are unnecessary. I certainly don't...

Thank you for saying that, it's very sweet of you. I will send it very soon....

Myjazz, you are one of the most aggravating people I've ever met. The goal of a true debate should be to have a meeting of the minds, not play 21 rounds of gotcha. Quote me the exact text where...

Here's the relevant definition of to manipulate from Google's dictionary project: Control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously. e.g. the masses were deceived...

I have never said that I go to a smart school. I go to a school, period. Once again, you cannot change my mind about sending this letter. I've made my decision. Um, you just do? I don't...

I'm curious, do you still think I'm manipulating this girl?

I couldn't agree more. :happy:

Agreed. I just think one should lay the groundwork for her to make what I believe to be the best decision for me, for her, and for our friends.

I like this girl. She's funny, and she's unbelievably sweet. She used to not only tolerate me using French words and talking about existentialist philosophy and whatever other strange things I like...

First, a response to a couple of other comments youx92ve made: The editing help Ix92ve received in this board has been almost entirely geared towards telling me what I can cut out of the letter...

That never happened. Read more carefully please. Yes. I've said that repeatedly. And my true colors as what? Someone who needs an editor? I have the same problem with length with everything...

And another selfish motivation I have for doing this, speaking of politics: I like the idea of being a peace-maker. In my estimation, there is no greater act that a person can do in the social realm...

Reading this thread is such an odd experience lol. I have gone to Therapy before. I've tried it with multiple people. I've never found it helpful. I like to think I've gone through a lot of...

Reading this thread is such an odd experience lol. I have gone to Therapy before. I've tried it with multiple people. I've never found it helpful. I like to think I've gone through a lot of...

That's a bit rude, don't you think?

If it hadn't been for the drama of the suicide incident, I would have just gone on indefinitely in a listless depression, unable to live and too scared to die. The suicide incident was a wake up...

Interesting. I like most of these changes. Your phrasings are more natural sounding than mine. Thank you!

To everyone: Please, stop trying to stop me from sending this letter. I have made my decision. You will not change my mind by repeating the same things over and over again. What is helpful is...

I have never sent a letter to her. I sent a couple to mutual friends which I think were probably interpreted as me trying to send a message, even though that wasn't the case. As I've said several...

For the last time, there is no restraining order.

Oh but I love my ego. I would rather work with it to overcome the world.

Thank you. The email may very well not work of course, but it can't hurt.

Thank you for your diagnosis doctor. I thought that I was fine, but now that you, someone who's never even met me, insists that I'm mentally unstable and need therapy, I will of course begin...

Oh and have no fear of going all religious on me. I'm a philosopher and an atheist myself, but I see all religions and forms of spirituality as different ways of expressing the same thing, like...

Well I'm glad lol...and I would be more than happy to settle for the same level of mutual amicability with this girl.

You did go over the line once, when you were accusing me of all sorts of things that I don't remember. However, what you've just said now does not cross any line that I'm aware of. I was just saying...

Chill out myjazz. I thought I had been perfectly clear that it was my intention to reconcile with this person in some way. Although now that I see the name of the thread, maybe not. To me,...

Here is the letter in its current form. If anyone is interested in reacting to it in any way, please do, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.'
