'Dunno about other ENTPs but I tend to swing wildly in my confidence. When I'm working hard, getting exercise and kicking ass nothing can stop me. But then the cycle takes a downturn and I tend to...
Serendipity requires a mind receptive to the suggestion. I realise that the apple from a tree story is apocryphal, but there is no way such an ordinary event would spark a ground-breaking idea...
Apocalypse Now. I've seen horrors … horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that … but you have no right to...
Little busy at the moment but do want to discuss this topic, I'll tap a few keys later on. That said: I consider this one of the greatest accolades a human being can bestow upon another.
Here is a fantastic comparison of Ni and Ne. Schwinger and Feynman both discovered Quantum Electrodynamics. Feynman, ENTP, is the crow and Schwinger, INTJ, is the mole. Dyson is the fox, Dirac is the...
Ni isn't based on nothing - it's developed over time from all the data in a particular field. In contrast, Ne is developed instantaneously from all the present variables across all fields. What's...
I notice a lot of ENxP similarities here. Mhmm, I swing wildly from ludicrously ambitious and optimstic to depression and volatility. The polarity between the two is a roller-coaster ride...
Yup. Lack of Fi and dominant Ne means the grass is always greener. I suspect that once Si develops we may become more inclined to commit. Maybe not - I don't think I could ever really settle down. ...
Do you find that sticking to one person - romantically, long term - feels claustrophobic? Also, if you want to tag someone in a post just type Theirnamehere If there is someone called...
Heh, was about to say. Interesting to note the ENFP-INTJ thing. ENTP-INFJ also click well, short term. The same feeling/thinking functions with different intuition lead to delightfully flirty...
Currently going through what I think is the later stages of Fe development and it can be a little painful, especially when Ne lends its well-structured and calmly logical approach to nothing. ...
These are good, although: Disagree with this to an extent. Doing your research is a must but having complete knowledge about a situation is an impossibility. Analysis cannot conclude and...
Set up an expectation, break it verbally but maintain the original tone. Hey, I need to ask you a pretty big question and I need an honest response. *sincere, concerned eyes* Uhh... ok,...
I think I should hang here more often. Anyway, there is a sort of Zen to be found in social interaction as there is in all things. Approaching someone in conversation without intentions and a...
I've read your discussion with interest, Animal and Oak. I don't wish to interrupt your conversation but I do have one or two questions... How can knowledge of a system such as the Enneagram -...
Scholar is a good word - it implies an interest in the esoteric and a more individualistic nature than say Researcher which is 145. While the 1 wishes to work within the framework set out by...
You know the feeling. Your brain is sparking out, you can't concentrate and you can't stop yourself from adding further stimulation; skipping from one activity to the next with no real engagement. ...
Yeah, realist. If you understand reality then why would you need ideals or plans? Both detract from the truth of the situation and neither will be genuinely connected to the actuality. Easier...
Unsure of the difference between realist and pragmatist, could someone clarify?
Thing I love about psychedelics is how it allows me to do a lot of emotional processing that I don't really have the ability to do otherwise. Whereas LSD allows you to control the trip to a certain...
Give the girl a fucking gold star.
Heh.
I can see why you might think that from the video but his passion for bongo playing, drawing, safe cracking, practical jokes and all sorts of other crazy things has me convinced he's an ENTP. Man was...
Richard Feynman, probably the greatest physicist of the post-war era. The man redefined the word genius and is the archetypal ENTP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kirzr6lnSs
I see you're new here. ;)
This semester you're over-committed, over-stretched (possibly overdosing) and yet reasonably confident of your abilities to hit the ground running with an utter lack of preparation. You turn up -...
I was gonna make a joke regarding this and the post above but I'm on my best behaviour today. Anyway, exercise and diet will work wonders crack on with that if possible. More specifically for...
What would you do with the truth once you got it?
Enlightenment has been described as just like real life, only about 2 inches off the ground. Sure, you can achieve it and then just sit there and bliss out for the rest of your life. These sort...
Heh.
Oh yeah. The law. Of alchemy. I getchya. And the whole thing about the true self being the opposite of the false self? Fucking genius. I for one am glad that you've managed to keep yourself...

Yeah I think this would be my definition of a true friend and I still censor myself even amongst my closest. Secrets create a distance that is nigh-impossible to bridge. C'est las vis.
I have a fair few close friends but perhaps not in the way that most people would define it. I have moments of feeling emotionally engaged with them but I think they would feel disappointed/upset...

I think extraverted perceiving backed up by Ti probably gives people the ability to remain grounded while engaging in a hectic situation. ESTPs and ENTPs are generally regarded as the quickest on...
During such situations people often get a massive dump of adrenaline. This shuts down the more advanced regions of the brain so that the animal part takes over, so called Fight or Flight response....
Extraverted perception combined with NT: All information is taken in regardless of personal beliefs/objectives and analysed logically above and beyond the surface. ENTJs may dismiss information...

I think you're right - mistaking Psycho-camouflage for Fe probably. He is an interesting one though.
My initial reaction was XNTJ but upon reflection I think XNTP is more likely - strong Fe and Ti I think...? Psychoanalysis hardly seems the pursuit of a sensor. He's incredibly intelligent and quite...

I was thinking about this earlier today. Listening to some electronic music I reflected upon how devoid of feeling a great deal of it is, or at least a little inhuman. I thought that in some way this...
