'My boss was telling me he didn't know his MBTI but had done this personality evaluation. It's driving me crazy, because it seems like a rip-off of Myers-Briggs (uses a lot of the same language) but I...
Yes. Completely. Right at the end of my Senior year of high school I, too, went through a period of analyzing my many personas. I actually sat down and made lists of all the times I'd reinvented...
Two of the girls mentioned were peaceful friendships, one was this in spades. :) Yep, agreed, there's certainly a lot of INTJ friends going on here, but what I'm wondering is do we discuss...
Is this because they're mistyped or overrepresented in the boards?
Post to interview: Cindy Gallop, Founder & CEO Of MakeLoveNotPorn, Talks 'Startup Stress' & The Future Of Sex Interviews always make it hard to figure out E/I, though.

I realize the INTJ/ENTP dynamic is by no means unexplored, but even so my personal network study has left me taken aback. After a couple years of typewatching I compiled a list of every absolutely...

Any ENTPs out there worked for an ADD/ADHD boss? (Not shooting in the dark here, btw, I'm quite certain mine is diagnosed.) I could really use some insight. So far, my last two interactions have made...
I resisted a phone til I was 18. In college I finally gave in. It's brilliant for organizing meet ups and last minute changes, so for that I really love it. But I've been told I can sound mean and...
So, I need this today—yay bumping! Dear ESFJ, I'm SO sorry that I'm not miserable, because surgeries don't always go as planned, and I really hope it makes you feel better that in fifteen years...
So I told my ESFJ roomie about her type a while back, and evidently it terrified her. She completely resents the thought that anyone could be like her or that she could be the slightest bit...
Hey friends! I'm working on a research project right now on my personal cultural background through the lens of my personality type, so I might post here several times in the next few days to ask for...
He could be. But I also get the impression he may be a tad warped with drinking. As I don't drink, not sure what impact that has on ENTPs or other personalities, but sober he might be something else...
Woah, that's cool! Someone random, or imagined, or relevant, or yourself, or whose face?
That voice is called an internal monologue. What's interesting is that some people read through their internal monologue, others do not. My boyfriend is a visual reader (I still don't get how that...
Hey man! Welcome to PerC. Thanks for sharing your story…it was pretty interesting, and has lots of stuff to think about. One thing that came to mind is on the bit with image memory. In simplified...
Welcome! Actually, my experience has shown that INTJ females have it pretty sucky overall. It's no picnic being an ENTP female, especially for those of us who enjoy computer science or engineering,...
Hey folks! Simple question, someone may have already asked it, but out of curiosity how do you perceive ENTPs?
My relationship started nothing like I would have expected. I thought I would fall fast and hard—instead, I spent four months feeling nothing for a nice friend who I knew had a thing for me, then...
Hello all! Please excuse the long backstory! I promise, there is a reason and a question at the end. A friend of mine, somewhere between INFJ and ENFJ, was recently dumped by an ESTP. She's...
Project mode is kind of awesome. :) The more of these conditions that are met, the harder it hits: a) I find inspiration, an idea, something unthought of; b) it's unique — a niche or gap that has not...
At times, yes, but it's always rooted in philosophical/existential crises. And worse when I haven't slept. It's irritating, though, when I start to feel very productive and know I'm doing something...
I've seen the same thing. I think you hit it when you said he's reliable in everyday life. I have the same slew of ideas, the same need to share them, and the same likelihood to skip follow-through;...
By far the best way for me to stay on top of things is to NOT have full free days. Biggest mistake ever was scheduling three hard days of classes/work and two off days—doesn't work at all. I strongly...
jessesutter — Oh, yes, believe me, I think homeschooling is great. I homeschooled 5 years and received an excellent education. But it is NOT the solution to American public education system. The idea...
Hola, good ENFJs! I'm looking for guidance about a good friend who I'm helpless to help. I'll say this much first, I'm not entirely certain she falls directly in the ENFJ categoryx97she's gone through...
BAH! His solution to the education system is… Homeschooling. Homeschooling!!! BAH!
I'm in a CS Education program. It's fantastic, been my passion for years (which is enough to tell me it's important!). Ah, details. There's definitely strategies there. One way is learning how to...
Both. I usually balk when a relationship starts to be taken for granted, as in we've been friends for a couple years and that will never ever change and we'll be BFFs FOREVAH. Yeah, no. Something...
Hum. When we were talking about Christmas, I told my teacher I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah—not sure if I pulled it off. :) I DESPISED dolls with a deep loathing. Stuffed animals were my thing....
When the only cure for intense depression is a few hours of TED talks. Mm…TED talks… *drool*
Fantastic. I had one friend that for a year or so I used as my sounding board—whatever idea I needed to let out, I would bounce off him, and while it's rare for other types to introduce something...
Meep. *Die.* Best of luck but you don't need it—LOVE everything about it :) including the pic, whether that's currently old or new.
I'm not sure if this is what you're saying or not; but I do know what it's like to feel like many different people. It's always been natural for me to see myself as different selves at different...
I switched names for two years during an overseas move before college. More or less worked at the time with occasional confusions, but quickly fell apart when I left because my parents never...
I've lived the ENTP ideal life of moving across the world about once a year for many years. What has worked for me is saying proper goodbyes before each move and then cutting most contact. When I go...
Three things help me: forgiving myself, external deadlines, and relationships. The first two go together. I've learned to embrace my procrastination as efficiency when I have an external deadline....
My main public speaking experience has unfortunately been with a truly miserable audience in a class no one enjoys or wants to be in. I get nada, zero, zilch reaction from 30 zombies, so the...
Schools. Universities, museums, academia, research institutions, publishing houses, think tanks and such conferences—we're the intellectuals after all! (Though personally I hate most museums. It'd...
Clever Waffle, thanks! Join the Fitocracy sounds like precisely what I might need, I'm excited now. Just requested an invite. Awesome.
ceembee, thanks!! I'll just say, sounds like we could be twins. But I'm really trying to work on a POSITIVE approach to it instead of the scare factors and guilt trips that have been less than...
My experience says, you would not. Feel free to prove me wrong but I've found the best ways to infuriate an INTJ are a) to try to help them, thereby implying weakness/insult and b) to try to debate...

In my education class we studied the layers of oral communication: what you actually say, what the other person thinks you say, what you intend the other person to hear, and what the other person...
Thinking about it, mine would be programming or, as in this example, specialized cooking/baking. Those are both things that REALLY piss me off when I find someone else is better than me.
teddy564339, collecting and stockpiling—sounds about right! Especially since swagbucks/ebooks don't take any space, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Maura, I suppose that's fair. The way I see it is that if no one else on the planet cared, I probably would not either; thus it is only the fact that others care that motivates me, and I must hide...
Zerosum, you mean I can just go into a gym and do whatever strikes me, no reps or structure? *lightbulb* Love it! Maura, perhaps disguise was the wrong word. I didn't necessarily mean disguise as...'
