'Whether I buy a paperback, hardback or e-book depends on whether the book I'm buying is fiction or non-fiction. Pertaining to non-fiction (history, science, biographies, etc.), I always buy a...
I don't give out any unspoken social cues. They're too ambiguous to be an effective communication tool. I prefer direct communication. This, needless to say, has created some issues when...
I have a tendency of keeping my interests to myself. I find activities, both cerebral and physical, far more enjoyable if I perform them on my own. People change their environment in order to fit...
People misinterpreting my speech and body language as trying to convey emotional cues when in fact, I did not. Whenever I use the term argument, people automatically assume that with hostile...
People misinterpret my speech and body language very often. They assume that I'm conveying emotional cues when in fact, I am not. For instance, whenever I use the term argument, people...
A few of my favourite pastime activities include: -Reading. I prefer books regarding science and history, although I also enjoy fantasy and sci-fi novels. -Listening to podcasts, usually ones about...
The concept of 'being a jerk,' as many people put it, is based on ethical standards, which are entirely subjective, and differ from person to person, and as such saying that '___ group are jerks.' is...
I like to look at assertions such as those regarding witchcraft from two different perspectives; the empirical, and then the creative. I have observed absolutely zero evidence of its truthfulness,...
I have become interested in how the inferior function manifests in people, specifically when it comes to interactions between types who have reverse dominant and inferior functions. Since INJs and...
Double post. You saw nothing.
What types were your parents? My mother is an ESFJ. My father has not taken the test, but I suspect he is either INTP or INTJ. Which parent were your closer to? I'm not particularly closer...
Why are people so prone to irrationality? I cannot even count the amount of times people have rejected logic and/or facts simply due to it not feeling right or said logic/fact(s) breaking a taboo...

I tend to write in a very long-winded manner, usually because I find that my thoughts are too nuanced to describe in just one or two sentences. Normally I try to be as concise as possible, but...
I have found that I'm good at reading people in the sense that I can put multiple things that they have said and/or done and glean their motivation for behaving a certain way. However I'm rather...
The truth is always more important that the emotions of an individual. Yulia's potential suicide is not my responsibility, it's hers, in the same way that the general fallout of revealing her...
My personal definition of manipulation is use of deceitful tactics to persuade an individual to do/think/feel/say something. Since its inherently deceitful, I consider it to be one of the most...
I've never gotten high, but in general I have found that types with primary Fe (ESFJ and ENFJ) are the most intimidated by my Te. I distinctly remember one instance in which an ENFJ that I knew...
I never had a role model growing up. Sure I had my parents, but they were prone to expecting me to do as they said based solely on their authority, which I refused to do from a young age, so I never...
This is actually excellent advice, thank you. We INTJs require all the assistance you can give us, human whisperer person. Oh, you. :wink:
Has anyone ever had trouble with people explaining points that are based on abstract distinctions to sensors? I've always seen the sensor-intuitive dichotomy as a spectrum rather than absolutes, and...
I'd love to give you a blowjob! Wait, that's just what most men like to hear. Real ones from now on. I'll defer to you. I understand. You're right, facts are more important than...
I have only ever met two ESFJs. One is my mother. She's okay, can be really goofy and silly, which is either amusing or vexing depending on what mood I'm in, but ultimately a bit too clingy and...
INTJ male Masculine: 78.333/100 Feminine: 32.5/100 Androgynous: 50.833/100
As a concept I find time travel endlessly appealing. There is nothing more I would love than to correct mistakes I have made in the past. As for changing the past in significant ways, such as the...
I like to differentiate between feminists, SJWs and the Regressive Left. Feminists are relatively a mixed bag. The more casual feminists are most likely fine, however the more radical elements of...
I'm from the UK. Here most people seem to be very introverted, and extroverts are generally viewed as being loud and unpleasant, so that aspect of my personality is generally accepted. We brits are...
I could respond to this thread... Whatever, I'll do that later.
There is no evidence that any of religion is factual, thus it must be considered false. The burden of proof lies on the one making the positive claim. So if someone makes the claim that a god exists,...
I was about one year old. My first word was clock.
I don't have much interest in having children. I like to think that by deciding not to, I am refusing to contribute to the Earth's current overpopulation problem. That, and I find the prospect of...
I don't really have a Favourite game, however I do have a few which I really enjoy. I don't purchase that many games anymore, so many of my favourites are quite old. Star Wars: Empire at War...
No, not really. I find the law questionable at times, but I don't actively break it either. I follow social etiquette up until the point where it becomes counter-productive. But no, I don't conform...
I have had similar feelings before. When close relatives have died in the past, I never shed a tear. I'm mildly upset for a few minutes before returning to my daily activities unaffected. Since I...
I'm not sure if I should congratulate you or apologise in advance. Your results seem very mild relative to my own. I scored 81% introvert, 56% intuitive, 84% thinking and 47% judging. Either I'm a...
1) On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your current mood, with 1 being extreme sadness and 10 being extreme happiness? 6 2) In relation to your current academic studies, on a scale of 1-10...
19 years old. I will be twenty early next year.
Non-fiction. Knowledge must be preserved as much as possible. Fiction, while is very important aspect of our society, is not necessary for the survival and progression of civilisation.
Right now I'm studying Biomedical Science. I plan on studying another degree in Astrophysics when I'm finished with this one.
Even though the concept of having a long-term monogamous relationship has always appealed to me, I don't find marriage to be particularly useful in any way whatsoever. The marriage ceremony will cost...
No. Not because I have a dislike of children, and not because I think they will be a burden. The truth is, I have always been a very reclusive and inexpressive person, even by INTJ standards. I'll...
Have you ever experienced the phenomenon of people telling you how you feel? I have noticed that people always assert that I am feeling a certain way, yet their assertions are usually completely...
I agree. It's just an excuse to indulge in material gain and the adoration of others. It can be enjoyable to plan a social event with a few close friends, but I am not a fan of the constant Facebook...
I have the exact same issue. I don't have much problem following authority whose views and goals are congruent with my own, but if that authority figure opposes my own ideals and goals and/or is not...
I tend to be rather ambivalent/apathetic about culture in general. Studying culture is useful for understanding the behaviour of other people, but it really doesn't have any other practical uses...
I usually don't wear a social mask unless there are practical benefits to it. If the person cannot provide anything of value to me, I simply don't put the effort in to be social. But when I find a...
Who do think within the industry of cinema and television has undeservedly been placed on a pedestal by their cult following? I'm not referring to their celebrity status, as I think all celebrities...
I wouldn't say that I'm sociopathic, but rather I have selective empathy. I only empathise, and consequently open up, to people that I find to be genuinely worth the effort. Excluding those few...
Hello everyone. Recently I have become interested in the phenomenon known as groupthink, referred to colloquially as an Echo Chamber. For those who don't know, groupthink occurs when the desire...
Yes, the laws of causation demand it. The only other option is to believe in a predetermined fate or destiny, but that completely contradicts the laws of causation.'
