'Thanks for your input. I think I do relate more to Ni under that description. Though I sometimes find myself elaborating on tangents, it is mainly to provide definition/context (Ti) to the main topic...
I have been very confident in my INTP status for a few years, first suggested by the tests and personality profiles/stereotypes, then reinforced by my study of the cognitive functions. I identify...
Speaking generally, ENFP females are downright enchanting - by far the most attractive personality type to me. I once heard them described as bubbly, talkative love-muffins - awesome and true,...
In my view, the only way to know your type with confidence is to (a) know the functions well - by which I mean you should be able to describe them comprehensively and meaningfully without overlapping...
ENFPs are amazing - especially mine. ^^ Not only is she spontaneous, vibrant, entertaining, full of energy and enthusiasm, and still possessing an intellectual bent (as most ENFPs do); she is also...
According to the theory, you cannot - but it's not exactly science (not even close.) I find it highly unlikely that even the most experienced MBTI professionals could have typed me as INTP while I...
Rain Man is a movie of which the eponymous hero is an autistic man with prodigious mathematical and memory capabilities. I've been called that before after retrieving very obscure information from...
Welcome to the forum! 1. If I sense that the person may have an intellectual side or may otherwise be receptive to MBTI, I may bring it up in a fairly reserved fashion. I have had a few friends...
Oh, another random difference: Fi-users don't usually take criticism well - they take it very personally. Ti-users will just analyze the criticism and decide whether it is true or false and give...
Yes, all cognitive types have emotions - provided they have no neurological abnormalities. The question is more of how they manifest themselves and how you deal with them. I think I represent INTPs...
Well, as I said, I prefer to observe my subjects interacting normally as well as answering my questions. Mannerisms help me determine cognitive function preferences. While some would argue that...
LOL. Yeah, besides just not caring, INTPs are often unaware that what they say might be offensive; essentially, we don't tend to take sensitive topics very seriously. INFPs are usually more serious...
Offensive humour and sarcasm, plain dress/lack of attention to appearance, evidence-based evaluation of new ideas.....those are the main things that, at the least, would seem to distinguish you as...
Judging by your answers, I would say INTP is quite plausible.
My Ti and Fe used to be in perfect opposition to each other, essentially battling for supremacy. When I would let my Fe activate in certain social settings, it was a palpable transformation into a...
Of course not.
Context is everything. I'm nice to whomever I expect to meet again (obviously for practical reasons), or who impresses me in some way. To everyone else, I'm kind of a dick. I don't generally like...
Generally speaking, ENFPs are great. They've got loads of positive energy and enthusiasm (quite contagious, really) and can discuss intellectual topics quite competently, providing useful insights...
1. Truth 2. Logic 3. Autonomy/Independence 4. Pleasure/Well-being 5. Self-improvement 6. Justice 7. Novelty/Variety 8. Human connection 9. Success 10. Excellence
I can mix with any type depending on the context. I can get along just fine with ISTJs and ESTJs in a work setting, but I doubt I could handle them for too long in other environments. ESFJs and...
If there is any subject which evokes something like passion in me, it is probably languages - not just writing and speaking foreign languages, but linguistics (esp. grammar, theoretical, and...
Tribalism, which allows otherwise normal humans to behave like psychopaths.
Louis CK, Jimmy Car, and Craig Ferguson are the first names that come to mind.
I tend to be interested in conversations about history, culture, languages, linguistics, politics, philosophy, religion, theology, physics, art, and music - provided they are being discussed...'
