Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'Mature ESTPs are some of the greatest people to be around in my opinion, I've had several platonic relationships with them and even dated one briefly. The difference in perspectives is curiously...

Came across this while listening to Parkway Drive.

In regards to my own personal projects absolutely. In a group setting that doesn't pertain directly to me I can certainly understand the value of cooperation, I loath having my freedom encroached...

Running, swimming, and biking are great, and easy to get into. In the past I enjoyed fencing, tennis seems like it would be very enjoyable.

I used to actively attempt to lucid dream, sometimes it worked, sometimes it was more difficult to gain awareness. It is certainly an interesting experience, but doing it routinely can be...

Had a reasonable guitar collection at one point in time, ended up liquidating much of it due to space constraints, pretty salty about that. I'd love to have a car collection if i ever acquire the...

Ne has a certain whimsical nature that is very refreshing to be around, but I think Ni is better at creating clearer insights.

^^ This. Stereotypes aside, you can teach anybody how to turn a wrench, but watching Ti do work is just something that can't really be replicated. When it comes to actually making it happen in...

It could be said that all of humankind should aspire to be rational animals, whether or not this is the case is doubtful. I personally feel that people should strive to manage these animalistic...

Always had a soft spot for The Raven.

I had a particularly difficult time not thinking of this thread this evening as i attempted to construct a taco of those self-standing hard shells with the flat bottoms. It fell over.

Writing about philosophical questions and moral/ethical dilemmas is always a fun process, i can never help but feel some type of camaraderie with somebody that can read your work and see your stance...

Anything labeled as microwavable or picked up through a drive thru window I subconsciously frown upon.

I need to do a little more researching before I claim one type or another, but i am leaning that way yes.

I had previously identified as one before so i've spent a good amount of time researching the type, they have a tendency to go into phases were they may take on the traits of another type, but...

^ If i might extrapolate on this a minute, do you mean that an Fe user has a breaking point were they can no longer effectively interact with an amoral person, but are willing stomach a morally...

Interesting, i hadn't considered that order, what in my text caused you to think Fi-Te? Perhaps i'm not understanding Fi properly.

Typically via logic, emotion is certainly in the picture but it usually takes something pretty big to cause an actual emotional decision. Even if i get heated over something i'll almost always cool...

Hi INTJs I recently made a post on the guess my type sub-forum and it hasn't gotten a whole lot of traffic, so i thought i'd ask you guys, as your realms of the forum seem to be a little more...

Thanks for the input, I'm not going to rule out Ne as a dominant function either but i certainly see more Ni, inferior Se seemed pretty clear to me as well. At what point is following the...

Hi guys, I've been told there are some very astute folks here with a knack for typing. I have always been struggled to x93identifyx94 my type properly. I have become skeptical of the tests...

Kinda sounds like your a bit stressed to me. Do you have any anti-stress measures that you work into your day? Reducing stress goes a long ways when it comes to mentality, meditation and...

I can follow your logic there, I've typically thought that control is an individualized thing because there are so many variables that go beyond the functions.

To me Fe is simply the tendency to let other's emotions shape your behavior, and perhaps your own emotions to a lesser extent. Expression seems way more specific to the individual, as some others...

The biggest thing in my experience is to set clear boundaries, I've never known one to be manipulative but they can be mildly insensitive at times. Try and clue them in on what does and does not work...

^^^ There is a lot of good stuff in there, ESTPs always get painted the bad guy but met several that are great people. Be cordial and friendly and all those things without being overly sweet, they...

Hopefully there are some appreciators of the dark arts around here, that new Parkway Drive is tasty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXPlTzwCNps

Honestly i don't think we are as rare as most statistics would like you to believe. That said i can see how a lot of mistypes would occur if people aren't really interested in the more detailed...

I really feel for yah, I was in a very similar situation once with an ESTP actually. My hunch is they have a difficult time with long-term relationships, due to the lack of physical affirmation...

Does Hayley from Paramore count as a celebrity?

Perhaps forgiveness isn't always called for but acceptance very well may be, even for the most heinous, brutal events in your life. If you can't close the door on something it will enslave you,...

Well played sir. I shall observe your mind games, and teach them to my squadron of clones that i send to far away c̶u̶l̶t̶u̶r̶e̶s̶ forums to achieve the ultimate understanding.

Might wanna troll the NT forums, they might actually bite back instead of trying to help you. :gentleman:

I certainly feel more in control of a body, than being a body. I would guess the low kinesthetic intelligence goes beyond cognitive functions and personality types, although clearly there is a...

Good video. Interesting that you mention your very attuned to you senses because of inferior Se. I've displayed hypersensitivity in the past but not in any usable way. I never fully understood how...

Other than fellow INFJs, the only two that stick out to me are ESTPs and INTJs. A healthy ESTP is such a bewildering experience, bringing out the opposite sides of each other is mesmerizing. But I...

It's definitely very easy to confuse to this at times, I found the most clear answer questioning the motives behind Fe/Te. Is it done to appease people or uphold logic and efficiency? Not always easy...

Dreaming always conveyed a sense of learning for me, even if I can't consciously express knowledge or insight that I've necessarily gained, I feel like I posses something that I previously lacked. I...

I think, as some of the others might have been getting at, there is a large chance that N's in general are going to be more willing to embrace qualities typically seen as opposite to their gender....

I can definitely relate to that. It's to bad i have this irritating habit of falling for foods that are disastrous for your health.

Assuming the choice is made with the intent of a lasting relationship, option 2 for sure. As NFs its more difficult to find someone on the same frequency, especially us introverts. The beautiful...

That sounds really cool. Martial arts seem really great for the whole body/mind thing, earlier in life I spent a decent amount of time fencing. I wonder how these two experiences compare, I'd imagine...

So many thumbs up! I've always been enthralled with the idea of urban exploration, finding low-key and resonant areas hidden away, unfortunately the near major city to my location is to far away to...

A thread i skimmed through recently got me thinking how INJ's typically engage their Se. I've come to a close enough understanding of the functions, i'm starting to pick up on various flavors of what...

A lot of this looks familiar from childhood, I think I've overcome much of it as I've aged. The third section addressing vestibular dysfunction is where I found most of the symptoms that I identified...

So long as each are healthy versions and mindful of their respective differences, I definitely give a thumbs up to the INTP/INFJ interactions. I'm not sure i'd call it mind reading but Ni/Ne fills in...

The INFJ's i know can be fairly graceful WHILE engaged in the activity, and walk straight into a door after they are done practicing. Its really strange. So-So coordination, I reached respectable...

As others have stated this does sound pretty normal for INFJ behavior. He may also be adjusting to the fact you two are now separated, which might sound a little counter-intuitive, but does leave an...

There is definitely a click of some kind when to people with dominant Ni are interacting. I've also noticed this with INTJ's but the rest of their demeanor gives off a slightly different flavor....

It is sobering somewhat to see a description that isn't to romanticized. I was always slightly uncomfortable with how INFJ's are presented, at least on some level, because to many people would...'
