BrightenUp, it's primarily about neuroplasticity - which I didn't really realize was a completely non-accepted theory until recent decades. In this book you'll find things like ways to make the...
I think I tend to walk at a moderate speed, I do get irritated with people who are slowly ambling. If I am going to slow down (to think about something or look at something, etc) I will pull myself...
^^^ This! ...I find myself doing it watching movies too. :dry: (Yes, I realize miscommunication is an integral part of many story plots... I don't particularly like those plots unless they are...
Wow.. I'll need to have a look at this! (BTW Dreamer_dynamic - awesome avatar!! I love hyperboleandahalf!!!!) ~ Boots ~
I have a kind of opposite perspective that may or may not be useful to you... I always did art and was good at it, when that crucial point of decision came in university I pursued science over art...
Wow.. do I ever relate to this thread. I have had times in the past where I couldn't sleep for the thinking too - my husband and I affectionately referred to it as the gnomes in my head, I'd...
Just wanted to share, I picked this book up recently this book . I couldn't put it down. It's amazing IMHO. http://mirjamsworld.com/blog/uploaded_images/The-brain-that-Changes-Itself-782653.jpg...
Wow Sea Cucumber... you've come close to describing my life up to my 30's (I managed to avoid the breakdown with copious amounts of alcohol). Wondersueak - would you have any interest in Tai Chi...
Thanks Vel I've previously looked at almost all the links you provided, but I'm reading through them again. The development post I'd not seen though - and I think breaking out the ages of...
I have been reading that thread. I hadn't graphed my more recent results: http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j467/DocBoots/MBTIcogGraph.jpg?t=1292285731 I think it fits INFJ better... but the...
It's time to post in this thread I think, because I need a little help. Was that an interesting enough title? I'm vacillating between being confident that I'm INFJ, to being confident only that...
GODDAM....rrrrrrAAGH!!!... JUST STOP, STOP TALKING TO ME!!! go away and let me crawl into bed and not come out, and STOP BEING STUPID TOO!!!!! ...
Hmm.... by the tone of this thread I guess I might be considered atheist. Though I agree with Vel in that what is meant by atheist may not be the same for everyone. Literally (according to...
* is glad she's not the only one who's pets might have pets * ~ Boots ~
Wondersuek... you sound lonely and stressed :sad:. I've been thinking about this lately because I've been working from home for the past 2 years which entails talking to people on the phone (all...
This is not necessarily my favorite thing - but popped in to my head while reading through the posts. When I pass a vacant store (too many of them these days) I love to let my brain go loose on...
Thanks so much! I've been thinking about Si quite a bit lately, if this is another manifestation of Si then a few things might be falling into place. I'll save this as ammo if I reach a...
I relate so well to this - I love having people ~around~ and not have to interact with them, if I can sit on the sidelines and draw I'm in heaven (likely why I go plunk myself at coffee shops for...
How to develop my crappy Te So I originally found my way to PerC as a result of some exploration I was doing with respect to dissatisfaction at work. Though I am having difficulty typing myself...
From the other side of the fence, I can say that in my last clinical position I ended up doing a lot of counseling (esp. grief counseling) for which I had no training, and no support. There is a...
Hehe, I am pretty sure I'm not ENTP (can't relate to that subforum much at all!). However I do think my results may be off - as I learn more about functions. There are so many questions that I'd be...
Affection... Looks like two cats cuddled together sleeping Feels like a soft blanket fresh out of the dryer Tastes like fresh baked rolls with butter Smells like vanilla Sounds like soft...
That's hilarious!! I know I've done similar things, however all I can think of at the moment is the time as a kid (maybe 8-10 years old?) I went through a phase of wearing my favorite coonskin...
ROFL!! That's a great visual! ~ Boots ~
Yesterday I was walking down the street and in a really good mood (on one of those pre-Christmas, downtown is so cute with sparkling lights, kinds of mood). A lady in an SUV found herself in the...
For years my mother told me to 'not look so sullen'. I wasn't sullen, I was thinking... but now I find it's automatic when I'm out in public to put on a polite face. My husband and I went to a...
Katy, have you watched the documentary 'Babies'? It's beautiful cinematographically (is that a word?) if you are into that sort of thing (which I am). But as per your post - it nonverbally...
I sure do. ~ Boots ~
I was thinking this same thing... whether you 'fessed up' or not, likely nobody else there would notice and if they did I doubt they'd think it reflected on your character. I know I'd be prone to...
Here's a dream question - in your dreams are you usually yourself, or are you sometimes - another person (someone you know) - another person (stranger - possibly different age/gender/etc) -...
Wow guys... I can relate so much to everything said here. I've been trying to figure out if I'm INFJ, and getting more and more convinced that may be the case (you guys just make sense to me). ...
LOL! I have the opposite problem, I'm forever watching a movie and comment 'That character looks just like the actor in some-other-movie' to which my husband informs me that's because it ~is~ the...
When you've convinced yourself that you don't need to settle on your 'true' type. Then when a friendly and insightful INFJ points you here you have absolute certainty by page 3 that you are actually...
That's interesting.... as an example (from a psychology type of book I have) - A compliant child who has a needy parent can become overly sensitive to others' needs. She constantly monitors others...
Do you guys ever ponder what life would be like if you had been born the opposite gender? I know my name would have been Jeremiah and that has fascinated me since I found out! ~ Boots~
Well you never know... it *could* be a mouse! And if it was a mouse then he might be hurt since he's not running away... you have to check! (Just make sure nobody is looking, or if they are just...
Does anyone know if MBTI type analysis was ever done on those split corpus callosum patients way back? (Wow.. wouldn't that be neat!?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMLzP1VCANo ~ Boots ~
This is an interesting discussion. I'm currently calling myself INFP, but partly because of the impression that it's a 'catch-all' type I am trying to find more discerning ways to determine if that...
Yeah, I married my husband for that very reason! :crazy: (Not really.. but for the many years we were unmarried I was annoyed that there wasn't a better term. I think during that time we came up...
One thing I've figured out about communicating with my SJ husband is that it's not so much thinking a single, unwavering line of logic that goes from A to B to C... but rather the key being...
I love the graphical interpretation here, but mine don't fit. I also am growing increasingly convinced that I've not developed 'naturally'. On regular online MBTI tests I score INFP. Also other...
Hell yeah! :sad: ~ Boots ~
Hmm... I did study french all through school. ~ P ~
Has anyone else experienced this... most of the time my dreams are really wacky, but sometimes I'll dream very mundane things (like putting the letter opener on a certain shelf) and ~occasionally~ a...
Interesting. This thread is very helpful. ~ P ~
It sounds like you made a good decision! ~ Pb ~
Personally I didn't hate high school, I found my niche there, but it never felt 'at home'. I'm unsure how much was the environment and how much was age. I LOVED university (and spent many years...
I'm curious.. why do we self-identified N's use the phrase 'if that even makes sense' so frequently? Or is it just a subset? I find myself asking that a lot although it makes sense ~to me~, it...
MikeAngell - never played that one! :) ~ Pam ~
What a neat thread! A long time AD&D RPer I have always been curious about character choices. I need to dig back and find that test! I'm INFP and have played a druid long term (though I think I...
