'I typed myself pretty strongly as an INTJ in high school, but through college and beyond I have grown a lot emotionally (and, dare I say spiritually), so I figured it would be good to try to re-type...
You should look into meditation / Buddhism; I don't think what you want is apathy (the lack of ability to feel emotions), but more for emotions to have less of a sway over you (so you could stick to...
Wow did you just draw that text? Damn, what a cool person. Enjoy your time here.
*INTJ slowly creeps into the room* Sounds like it's just plain tough for you to focus when you're forced to. I'll play the devil's advocate here and say this is a skill that you should not spend...
That's hilarious. Maybe next time I hear someone say something a bit unexpected (and funny), I'll think they're using your strategy.
Hello ENFPs. This is a general reminder that.. your personality type is just plain awesome. It's so easy to find things to like about you. Here's a nice little list. You see the world in...
A simple one for me: Disregarding the value of small talk (and even holding contempt for it). I used to think small talk and shallow relationships were useless; I'm an introvert and people drain me,...
I can't find the INTJ-ENFP thread, so I'm just posting here. Man, I really, really love you guys.
What an intj introduction :) welcome!
In what way?
chanteuse I fail to see how your statement is relevant to the OP, even though I mostly agree with it. I already know how to consume art and literature, that's not the issue. The point I'm bringing up...
Care to elaborate? I seldom experience this myself.
Lots of the formal arguments are sound and I approve. Find feminists (and tumblr/buzzfeed/upworthy/jezebel/...) to be, on the whole, extremely annoying and frustrating to deal with. Often they will...
You're in a very, very interesting spot and I'd love to study (or live) your life for a little while. How picky are your tastes? Are you having trouble finding people hot/interesting enough to...
I've just finished reading a few classic literary novels (comprising Hemingway, a personal favorite author), and I'm also at a rather low point right now, so naturally I'm questioning the meaning of...
Over the past year or two, I've been doing a lot of really interesting and exciting things that I think a lot of people would consider really impressive and fun (moreso if I was able to tell stories...
Sweet avatar, new Lupe is sick.
Yay go ENFPs! I also find INTJs to be very exhausting after a while, especially those who rely solely on Ni and haven't developed many of their lower functions. Perhaps literature, art, music,...
For what it's worth, I feel much more similarity / understanding towards an ENTP than an ENFJ. I kind of like the system in place.
This thread has 13 pages right now. http://personalitycafe.com/articles/390834-mbti-types-dating-12.html When I'm on page 12 (link above), if I try to get to page 13 (click on number or press...
Well when you phrase it that way, IT'S ON! :)
Congrats, always knew you could do it!!!!
Yeah girls, if you want to date me (INTJ) invite me to a board game night :rolleyes:.
I have gotten and read this book, but I actually find it quite ineffective (especially with my collegiate peers). Just being friendly and asking questions and showing interest doesn't seem to work...
110% My thanking: 1) I'm using operant conditioning to encourage a certain type of behavior. 2) Someone posts something incredibly smart/witty 3) Someone is unthanked and lonely and I'm feeling...
Yeah, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are the classic ENTP INTJ pair. Also Penn and Teller are one too. Though I think you'll find many people who disagree with you that the most important people were...
Yes. I grew up with just brothers so other than wrestling nothing was really affectionate. However, I also hypothesize it's because I have a very tough time reading other people's social bubble...
I always followed a prescribed education path (I always tested well so this was easy), but I figured if I ever wanted to stop doing that I would just self educate and I'd still enjoy it a lot and get...
Your new task is to sql injection in your next thread :P
Would also recommend you check out the blog Study Hacks run by Cal Newport. This guy did a study on the top students at Ivy leagues schools, published a few cool books himself. Not 100% pertinent...
Welcome! Check out the ENTP subforum for some cool stuff that will make you smile and say that's me!!. Supposedly you and I (our types) are supposed to be among the coolest and most productive...
Welcome. What sort of coffee stuffs are you into? Are you a coffee snob? Do you only drink single-source pourovers? If so, we might be friends :P. If you like Chai Tea Lattes we might also be...
Wow thanks for all the great advice, everyone. A big takeaway is the whole find an extroverted friend thing. All of the cool things I've ever done socially have been with an extrovert. It's sad in...
Hey it looks like we agree. In fact you're not as unreasonable as I first thought you to be, Tzara. I guess us INTJs and ENTPs can work together. Good point. In fact, the other day I was...
You're really smart, go do something with your life instead of getting emotionally connected to random people and worrying about offending them.
What value do you find in introverts? How can you get a read on them? How do you discern if they have a cool personality beneath their introversion or not? How do you meet them?
*in the locker room after the fight has finished* We'll have to disagree here, then. I think someone who is addicted to a harmful drug and killing themselves is not healthy, and the desire to...
Health is subjective? Imagine if he has a heroine addiction and spends 16 hours per day playing world of warcraft. If you wanted to get philosophical you could say this is fine and healthy if he...

Hey ENTJs, we're leading the pack! *high five*
Happy new year friends! Go INFJs!
Math seems to be pretty divisive. I always thought math (especially pre-college) is not actually math but pattern recognition and memorization. Trig is all memorization. So is Calculus. I think of it...
(empty post due to mod moving thread)
Ah, interesting. I posted in the ENTJ forum all the ENTJs I've known have plenty of friends and are still very intelligent and I understand their thought processes. Thought I might get some sympathy...
Halfway-junior (5 semesters total)
Greetings ENTJs, I'm a sophomore INTJ in college, and while I am socially competent and have made some good friends, it's usually only about 5% of people I actually connect with past basic small...
KanRen my first punch: There is an inverse correlation between experience on online forums and experience in real life ;)
LOL good catch. We were all fooled.
Huh.. where to start... First off, These are your problems. not his. -Not listening to you, -Not talking about things you want. -Not matching your success standards. -Isnt nice to you None...
I feel like I just don't understand you! You can literally ask me anything and I will answer it truthfully. What more could you want?'
