'mmiddleton84: I'm INFP according to the professional test (through my college's career office), so no worries there. Is public-interest law just as bad as corporate/private practice? Because...
I might need some advice filling in the ???? part. There's no profit in my future, no matter how many underpants I collect... I made a thread a few weeks ago asking if I should go to law school or...
They can be so annoying! My hall director (basically the head of my college dorm) is so cheerful about every little thing! She's like a super-duper-ESFJ and only hires RA's and front desk workers...
This might sound trite, but pay attention to the underlying cause, not the eating itself. I haven't exercised since my own overeating started, so I can't really speak to that one way or another. ...
@timeless: What about public-interest law working for the government? Oh, and rest assured, I wouldn't even consider a lower-ranked law school, so no need to worry there. :) I know how the rankings...
I might need a little help here. I'm a card-carrying INFP as per an official MBTI, and I feel like my idealism is getting in the way of choosing a career path...this sure seems to happen a lot,...
IcarusDreams: I'm actually a lot more worried about my income (or lack thereof!) than my height. I'm still in college and live off financial aid and a part-time job. And there isn't a whole lot of...
@IcarusDreams: Thank you so much for the advice. And I'm glad to hear that having an AVERAGE height isn't an automatic dealbreaker! :rolleyes: You said exactly what I was trying to get...
sean2724: I sure hope my odds are better than the .05% you imply...that would suck! Where is the evidence that I have to look like an underwear model to get any responses? I always shrug it off...
InternalWonderous: I might not be a Calvin Klein model, but I'm not bad-looking either. I'm more worried about my social anxiety than anything else...this is why it's hard to meet women by more...
There's Te and then there's Te. My Te is mediocre--it's only good for things like math and logic puzzles which I'll admit I enjoy doing. But when it comes to Te for things like profitability and...
Sorry to beat an already very dead horse, but... I halfheartedly tried a couple free dating services (OkC and POF) about three years ago, and I wrote the most puffed-up, self-righteous profiles...
Justin Opmeer: I'm writing this story so I can kill two birds with one stone--to figure out what I want in a relationship, but mostly to understand my value system and passions. It's pretty much the...
I feel like I might need some help getting over my fear of writing--I'm a pretty good writer, but I'm too afraid to write anything I don't absolutely have to (like for a class assignment) because I'm...
Well, let's see...it's mostly stuff I've done at school. Where do I even start? One day when I was in seventh grade, I was in reading class and the lights were out and we were all sitting on the...
@infinite thought: I don't know if you're asking *me specifically* about my job, but I'm still in college.
I kinda am too (not completely) but I don't try and fight it. My whole life/career passion sort of depends on being a bleeding heart, in a way.
snowbell: I'm curious...what do you mean by a reverse compass? I kind of have a reverse value system that includes everything repulsive to me, and sometimes I use it to help understand my...
My God, I'm to entrust my life to a turtle? Nature's 'D' student?--Stewie on Family Guy Maybe because, in an ESxx world, we're seen as society's 'D' students? :dry:
Raain: I was talking more about historical trends--what we see today is unfortunately the exception to the rule. There are certainly some women who have made it in the capitalist system, but they...
Well, hello again, jcamero! Sorry for the long post, but I feel *really* strongly about this! Capitalism is based on a system of domination and control--nothing more, nothing less. Like...
FWIW, I just learned that Justin Bieber isn't a vampire--I had thought he was one of the vampires from Twilight.
I like to go for a drive out in the country at night and listen to the car radio. I wish I could do it more, but this is Wisconsin and there are WAY too many deer for me to feel safe! :sad:
I don't get too into the theory, but wouldn't it be ENFJ? They have all our shadow functions in the same order (Fe > Ni > Se > Ti). But as far as the type description that seems the most alien to me,...
Could I thank this post eleventy billion times? This is EXACTLY how I feel and exactly what I meant by my ill-informed recursive Fi thread that I made a few weeks ago. Finally, someone to put it...
another double post...grrrrr
The last time I was at a party was almost 4 years ago during my freshman year. My dorm-mates dragged me to a house party with like 200 drunk 19-year-olds--LOL--but I actually had a lot of fun! The...
I was 16 or 17, but it only lasted a couple months. I'm 23 now and haven't had one since :( It's not like I haven't had lots of opportunities; I've just been too self-conscious to act on them. I get...
We *might* be the worst type as far as getting a job goes, since corporate culture is really ExTJ-oriented, but we're definitely not the worst type! I love being INFP, but most of the job market...
I want to write, but I'm always afraid I won't like what I've written afterward, like it might seem stupid or corny to me. So I end up not writing much because I'm more afraid of my own criticism...
Lawless Land put it beautifully. I see a lot of the popular guys around campus, and sometimes I get panic attacks from them since they make me feel so inferior (socially and relationship-wise)...
whoops, double post
@jcamero: I feel like private charity is too touch-and-go to be depended on as a source of help, and it only reinforces the same power relations (capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, etc.) that...
jcamero: How will getting rid of most taxes raise the revenue needed to pay off the debt? And if we phase out social programs like welfare and food stamps, how will the poor survive, and how will...
Finally--a good use for my econ major! Cut the defense budget by a lot (same as Tincan) and raise the top marginal tax rate to 90-95% or so (only for REALLY high incomes, like $10 mil. and up)....
My mom always taught me that the point of going to college *isn't* to get a job, it's to find my passion whether or not it has real world applicability. I wish that could be true, but there's a...
^ This. I couldn't follow a straight line of reasoning if my life depended on it. I raise my hand a lot in class, and I give a lot of really good explanations/insights that sometimes even the teacher...
I think nyctophilia (post 1598, middle of page 160) is one of my new favorite words since I relate to it so well! Thanks mushr00m!
I don't know if this has been mentioned before (too lazy to read all 200 posts), but I've always had better luck with older women (I mean women *older than me*, not old women). I'm 23, and most of...
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes...sometimes I'll even apologize when I walk past someone in the hallway (for being in their way) when I'm not even in their way at all, and then I'll apologize for the...
Sometimes I have nightmares about being injected with radioactive Cheez-Whiz...does this count as quirky?
Where do I start? For me, it's the ability to love so deeply and see so much beauty in the world and to have such intense passion for making it a better place. To have such breathtaking vision of the...
My Fi can be a nasty little dictator for sure! 'Twas an Fi-Si loop that made me gain 25 lbs. in two years and and spend almost the world GDP on fast food. Damn you emotional eating! bromide: I...
I just joined yesterday, but there's something I've been wondering for a while. One of the parts of my Fi value system is that I cherish introversion itself, and specifically introverted...
I feel you too...I know *exactly* what you mean by looking forward to the night. Over the summer, I was alone in my dorm with no roommates and no job--I lived off financial aid (still do, in fact!)....
It's a close tie between gender roles and socioeconomic status, but I went with SES because it's not the gender roles themselves that bother me so much as *patriarchy* and the devaluation of every...
I look for emotional depth above anything else...I can't stand superficiality. I love the ability to talk for hours and hours about anything and everything--a truly *authentic* friend who has enough...
I just wanted to say hi to everyone...I've been a lurker for almost a year so I finally decided to sign up! I'm taking an official MBTI through my college's career office in a few weeks, but I'm...'
