'Is she romantically interested in you?
An ENFP that I met a few months ago recently told me that I'm her ideal guy! ... I have a boyfriend... Is there any sense to be made of that?
People and their silly emotions make me laugh. Car accidents kill far more people than any nuclear accident (not including a nuclear war) could possibly manage. No one thinks twice about jumping in...
Really guys? You think that Osama being dead for several years is plausible? _______ Quick analysis: (1) Several years ago, republicans had the presidency, and thus were the face of...
People can certainly change, but YOU can't change them. That said, there are many amazing people in the world. Are you in high school or something? All of you friends sound really immature.
This thing utterly failed on me. I've been attempting to visualize a 4D+ space-time-other coordinate system for too long. My conceptual visualization of higher (>3) dimensions is now an utterly...

Yes, I could have worded it differently, but why should I? She took offense to my statement because she chose to. There was nothing in my statement that was an inherent value judgement upon her. ...
People always call me arrogant, and I have never understood why. I do much better academically, and I know that (though I don't brag about it). Does that make me a better person overall? No. ...
Ah, but you missed my point (as any sane person would considering how badly my paragraph was worded). I'll try to phrase it more clearly. All the vocal atheists you know may be asses, but that is...
There is such an obvious sample bias here that I'm shocked you haven't noticed it. You consider argumentative atheists to be asses. However, atheists that don't speak out are almost certainly not...
Well, I'm pretty much the next Newton, but since not everyone can be that amazing, I don't like to brag too much. My interpretation of the responses.
Hey! Exactly what are you implying? :tongue:
I know I am not an expert, as I have repeatedly said. There is very little reliable information available to anyone, so I am not posting except to temper the more panicked responses. There is not...
This is why I dislike your posts. You provide a link showing the radiation dispersion across the United States. People go to the link, and see a graph that appears to show lots of radiation in...
Are you invisible to all wavelengths of em radiation? If you were, you couldn't be tracked by infrared, and you would be invulnerable to the radiation in space. That would be far more useful
Unfortunately, nothing is really reliable because even the experts are just guessing. The thing that stands out most to me in that report is that they estimate that the water level in the reactor...
Chernobyl spread a lot of radiation to the surrounding area, yes, but it did not affect the United States because it is too far away. However, even the worst accident in nuclear history was only...
Everything you eat contains radiation, in the form of a certain isotope of carbon. Why aren't you freaking out about that? The word that matters is harmful. I think you need to learn more about what...
For those of you who are scared, 1 microsievert is 10,000 times less than 10 millisieverts. There is absolutely nothing to worry about (except for people who are really close to the reactors). I...
Whoa? Two ENFP atheists? I thought that was like a once-in-the-lifetime-of-the-universe thing Anyway, yea. Atheists aren't persecuted in any of the places of the country that I have visited. The...
So I take it you dislike all the close minded believers as well? Or are you deluded to believe that anyone who disagrees with any idea is close-minded? Open-minded does not mean that you accept...
Oh god, that sounds like a nightmare. A few dozen?!
I am going to shoot the messenger, because you are polluting this thread with absolute trash. First, there have been no nuclear explosions as a result of this reactor crisis. PLEASE don't post...
2 million times worse than Chernobyl? What? I call bullshit, unless you explain that better. Also, for some more conflicting information: IAEA: No Indication of Nuclear Reactor Meltdown in Japan |...
Indeed. The cause is probably that the gov itself doesn't actually know what is happening. They are only making guesses. However, STRATFOR is the most reputable of the sources I've seen so far, so I...
I think there has been a bit of a misunderstanding in some of the responses. I don't often change what I say or stammer or anything similar. Instead, as jbking mentioned, I choose a specific,...
This sounds very much like the concept of Flow studied by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Basically, a state where you are wholly focused on the task at hand. You lose your concept of self and submerge...
I recently noticed that I tend to redefine words as I speak, as there is often no word for precisely what I wish to say. People then interpret based on the usual meaning and there is a...
I partially agree, but I must interject one thought. It is entirely possible that a thought train can become detached from reality, so doses of experience are required to confirm that your thoughts...
OH NOES! I finished every book on my list. Does anyone have some other great books to suggest? I read mostly nonfiction psychology, business, and performance-type books, such as: Flow: The...
Major: Engineering Mechanics Minors: Physics, Math /generic
I'm not saying that agnosticism is irrational. I'm saying that it is incoherent when agnostics say that atheism is just as irrational as theism.
I don't see why agnostic seems to sit on the throne of rationality. There is no decent reason to suggest that, just because we probably can't know for sure, we can't form an opinion. You make...
Haha wow. I completely forgot about the ceiling thing, but I used to do it too. It was extra fun because my house had interesting architecture and prickly ceilings :crazy:
Actually, this was one of my major problems with my mother. I DO NOT want a cheerleader. I won't question their love, but instead their sanity/intelligence. Even more important to me than feeling...
You can't be an engineer without a degree, so it's worth it for me. If a degree is required for what you really want to do, then it doesn't matter too much about the earnings difference. In my...
I am a very high intuitive (~90%). My dad is a pretty solid sensor while my mom is a moderate intuitive. My dad, though he would never come up with my random thoughts on his own, immediately...
Same. I figure that will change once I actually become interested in someone, but, this far into college, no one has really caught my attention. :mellow: I love thinking about sex though. I have...
Built to Last. Business strategy gives me a hard on. I'm also looking for Notes on the Synthesis of Form, as I've been told it is a must-read. Has anyone heard of the latter?
I'm a pretty calm, nice person. I rarely voice criticisms of other people, and even when I notice something I dislike, I assume the best possible reason for the action. However, it does seem that,...
Those conversations are fucking boring. No conversation at all is much better than a conversation about my day. Also, intj's tend to hate talking about emotions, and I hate saying how I'm doing...
Work with me is a pretty sure way to catch my notice. I also party, but act very non-intj. Apparently, intjs are overrepresented among gym goers. Maybe try there?
Haha :tongue:

Your first clue. Your second clue. Etc. This is the textbook case of how to win a friend. Sorry.
Gender norms are overrated. Science and playing sports (couldn't care less about watching) are the only traditionally male activities that I really like. Does that make less of a man? Meh Edit-...
Fixed. I don't know any INTJs that dislike it. Most love it. Guaranteed success is ftw.
While I don't make a spectator sport out of it (Yes, ceembee, I'm looking at you), I don't participate. I see no reason to limit my resolutions to a single time of year or make them because of an...
I act exactly the same as normal, which is generally fairly laid back (a learned behavioral default). Of the two other INTJ's I know, one becomes extremely silly and the other extremely quiet. ...'
