Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'First of all, I'd like to say welcome to the forum. Considering how much you're already involved in studying the theory, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Now, I can never say for certain if...

If we were truly put here purely to serve God, how pointless would life be? When some people tell me that's how it is, I'm thinking: so we're like cows in an abattoir? I mean we don't know why...

I feel like I spend most of my life making excuses for other people's actions. I don't accept these excuses, but I acknowledge their existence and accept the reason. Sure, it might be effort...

I understand your sentiment, and I appreciate what you're doing for this guy. Seeing pieces of you in another is a rare moment that begs to be seized - and it should. But I think the notion of 'two...

I was meaning to get back to you to say I was wrong and I completely agree with you. I knew much less about mbti and the cognitive functions back then. Shallow knowledge on my part. Jessa is more...

Just to be clear, what do you mean by I will not shed tears on entertainment? It's funny, I weep like a bitch from films, books and music. It's not too often, has to be good obviously, but it's...

I was wondering if anyone would say this. Seems plausible doesn't it? But with enough focus, it becomes more like this: I do exactly this. Sometimes I get so far lost in tangents that I...

One thing we seem to have in common is our deep interest in literature. And another thing we have in common seems to be this itch we have to do some scribbling of our own. What I've always noticed...

James Gordon - Gotham (TV series)

Welcome back accidentalevil :proud: I have to say, one of the most prominent trait I see in ENTPs is trolling. I swear it's like in their DNA to troll. Also, do you like to have arguments for the...

You poor bastard... But I wholeheartedly understand how you feel. It took me a so long before I could come to a logical conclusion about my bad relationship. If I'm honest, I still miss that...

Hey Zelakon. I was so close to going to sleep and then came across your thread and felt like I should say something. First, I think what you're going through is natural and I don't think the...

Fantastic, I've avoided having to make my own thread. I constantly find myself wanting to be out there and meeting new people. Though I have a wonderful group of close friends, I still find myself...

I suppose in some respect, I used to be that way - when I was very young (mid teens). I didn't like it when things weren't real because I didn't feel it had any relevance to life and therefore the...

I only know one in real life, but personally, I think INTJs are brilliant. They're often well-informed and expressive. They deliver their opinion without a hint of restraint, as if there's no...

Am I evil? is a question I've asked myself time to time. In some ways, I indulge in many whims and encourage others to take the leap in some risky situations. And sometimes, I have the urge to kick...

I've yet to meet an ENFJ in real life but you guys sound wonderful :happy:

Ever wonder who came up with honey soy chicken? And I mean the fried kind you see at Chinese restaurants in western countries. 238610 This stuff^^ Google it, you can find recipes but no...

One time I asked a friend of mine Don't you think it's important to remain somewhat immature, no matter how old you get? she's Christian and same age as me (at the time we were 21). And she replied...

I'm glad you found decent people as well, the friends I have now I wouldn't trade for anything. They've shown to me the importance of being more understanding of others. Now, I have more patience...

Love psychedelic music. Unlike straight-out experimental music, there's something inherently gentle and solicitous about the atmosphere and its sounds. It's music that has been brought out from the...

Here's an example of an INTPs approach to guitar playing. I think it's a fantastic way of creating your very own style. http://youtu.be/uSaTAGsIBEI Marty Friedman, ex-guitarist of Megadeth.

This is true if we continuously met people in every kind of circumstance equally. But people are naturally inclined towards certain situations and I get the feeling if you're in a artsy environment,...

Glad to be of service :happy:

That sounds wonderful, how often do you move around and what's your occupation?

Don't worry friend, it should last a while :wink: I went travelling for 2months and the effects of that lasted for over a year. I continued to seek new experiences back in my home country and did...

That's interesting, an ex of mine has BPD and was on SSRI's for a long time, as well as being an everyday weed smoker. I'm fairly certain she had SSRI-induced apathy syndrome. She was always...

It's probably obvious, but the idea came from the INFP porn thread. There are so many jaw droppingly awesome images, quotes and video clips in that thread and it got me thinking: Where is it...

That's exactly how I am, too. Other than concerts (which I go to a lot) and recording equipment, I don't spend on much. I use public transport instead of buying a car - all so that I can spend what I...

If you don't mind me asking, what's the location independent job you've got in mind? On my trip I travelled with 2 people I didn't know well so I felt pretty lonely, too. One night I ended up...

Does the sky look better in pictures?

As with many INFPs, I'm prone to melancholia. One of the issues for me is the whole living in the future thing. It's good for introspection and planning for self improvement, but sometimes, I...

Great, just realised agnosticism works for me.

You're also the same age as me, I wonder what those odds are? Ha nice to meet you too.

Cheers for the book suggestion, can't wait to read it. :happy: It's strange how it's like that, don't you think? Considering the fact wings put a pretty big spin on the personality.

And it's a valid point, when you read both descriptions it just makes sense that INFP and type 4 goes hand in hand and ENFP, too. From experience though, I found ENFPs tend to be more 4w3 than 4w5....

But it sort of makes sense, right? If there aren't too many male INFPs in the world, they'd be more inclined to find a place where they can be sure to find others that understand them. Or maybe...

An Infp that's type 5, very interesting, can't wait to see your thoughts on things around here. It's nice to meet you gonnamakeyousting

Welcome Thepe, I can relate, I ended up jumping into discussions without an introduction also ha. Look forward to seeing you around :)

Hello to everyone, sorry for the long-winded introduction, I just felt like it. (This kind of doubles as my Before you came to PerC thread post) I've been a long time visitor of PerC. Anytime...

Oh of course, I would never claim any type to be immune from doubt. I was just throwing in what I've observed from experience and what I've read - which is that INTP's are likely to speculate whether...

The most useful thing I read somewhere was If you're questioning whether or not you might be a J, you're an INTP. Apparently, it's quite common for INTP's to think they could be a J, as they...

I do see your point. But I do know an ENTP. He's on the chill side, but he gets wild especially when he's around people. He was partying pretty hard when he travelled and has a crazy collection of...

I think she's an ENTP. They're fairly reserved extroverts, but clearly don't find it difficult to socialise when the situation calls for it. She travels a lot, and having new and wild experiences are...'
