'That's the problem. You're trying to understand how people process information particularly with the entirely speculative cognitive functions. These things are hardly practical, but you can still...
Salesmen positions find their most talented holders are ESTPs. ENFPs are surely capable of it and bring a unique and warm vibe to it, but the ESTP is the true master of persuasion. ENFPs are...
^^This^^ Numb is a better describer than empty, though both apply. I'm still working through it, but focusing on projects and finding alone time typically animate me the most.
Interesting. I've had this myself. Attempts to fill up my mind bare no fruit. The simple explanation might be because I am trying to fill it up and let it work like it used to, it won't. My mind...
Part of one of their plans, most likely. I'm not totally sure what you're asking though.
Typically no. As INTJs we are born masterminds, and typically stick to our plans. This holds true even for recreational things.
You have to understand that as an INTJ I put a lot of time forming my own understanding of the universe and concepts in general. Since these thoughts aren't the kind of thing most people like to talk...
My drive to completion and ability to predict and plan events. They go hand in hand.
The disproportion is actually explained by this kind of forum attracting more iNtuitives than Sensors. Even still, I estimate 40% of the claimed INTJs here actually are INTJs. Not to derail, but...
NT's are great listeners. NFs often ramble about feelings that are very important to them but they're not good at condensing emotional information so that even they know it. I can listen to hours of...
Long-term oppression, genocide, UFO's...
Seems like the responses are inconsistent. Probably due to the fact that less than half of the people here claiming to be INTJs actually are and genetics making some sort of influence. I pace when...
Yeah I'm a temperament theorist. Might explain it...
Istj.
Whose to say that a tendency even exists? When contingency planning, I find an optimum level between both but I don't think about it because a plan needing to be practical is obvious and idea of...
Don't pretend that everyone's mind is capable of only one or the other.
How about a more practical measure of traits using Keirsey Temperament Theory? But only look at that if you like theories that are backed up by empirical evidence and consistent.
Mastermind is probably the most accurate depiction. The idea of contingency planning covers science as well as many other fields.
Exactly. An art teacher. ISFPs are among the best of them. Art disciplines allow for creativity, English can, but is stuck on having to follow mostly arbitrary rules. Nothing wrong with this if...
Willpower.
Stating the obvious is something that has always bothered me. I rarely say it to my family and almost never show affection except to the young ones. Anything that is obvious should not need to be...
There is a lesson to be learned from Captain Ahab that applies to myself and (I believe) other INTJs. I often have this issue where if I fail at accomplishing a task and then fail again doing it...
Perhaps I should relax, but my opinion has not changed. I've never seen evidence for cognitive functions and people shouldn't make guesswork about what goes on inside others people's minds.
What. The. Fuck. Beyond that why would you want to improve some stupid function? Ni, assuming it's even real, is hardly advantageous to ENTPs. Expanding cognitive limits stretches talents too...
I got ENTP playing Magus Opus. This is fun and though I only tested it once I think it's flawed. I've had similar testing ideas myself but I think this has a lot of potential. I assume the...
This is fascinating. I thought everyone was going to call me immature and laugh at the ridiculousness of my logic. It's good to know that smidgeon of hope that there are people who think like me and...
I work in intel and I'm not sure how many credits my schooling got me but I know it couldn't be more than 30. It helps but I plan on taking clep tests and utilizing my tuition assistance and MGIB to...
Eh, 6...
Not if it serves a purpose. A rational purpose. That does seem kind of interesting.
Too bad my decision to enlist wasn't informed by the fact that promotion isn't based solely on skill and competence (or even hard work) but rather on quotas and punctuality.
How can you be confused with bipolar if you aren't showing two different patterns of behavior? Or I guess what do you mean by feeling on the inside and outside? Though I must admit that sounds...
I have an issue listening to what people tell me to do. It's often like a double negative - cancelling itself out. I am in the U.S. military and most higher-ups have this fascination with their...
How can you regret something you had no control over? And it's not just being an INTJ that makes me cringe about the thought of being anyone else, it's my entire personality. It just seems like I...
Just read the type description from Temperament Theory. That says it all.
I've found myself replacing the word conventional with stupid in conversation many times. Other times I just use the word for something that is inefficient, or a bad plan.
Kind of like this. 67965 I hope a diagram will suffice. I don't think through scenarios, I think of scenarios.
For what? That's up to you. I personally feel little need to amass wealth as personal gain. Money gives me little security.
You see I would use something like this as my primary end toward my criminal means. The money would be used for charities and non-profit organizations that further the same goals. What I'm saying...
Hahahaha, yeah...
I need to see comparisons with the other 15 and see if there's an actually unique pattern in each one. Then gather data on lots of people of each type with no knowledge of MBTI or KTT discussing who...
Mine are too. Don't worry, no MGS title that Hideo Kojima has been a part of has not been a total work of genius. Might be a few annoying things, but then again there usually are. None of them can...
Read about David Keirsey's Intelligent Roles if you want something practical, but read about anything else if you want to waste your time.
Fantasy fiction. Particularly high fantasy. I'll never reach the linguistic level of Tolkien and don't intend to, but I love illustrating situations that would force those in it to question...
Using smart as a blanket term is a sign of stupidity. That is my personal opinion and requires specific knowledge to comprehend. We aren't just characterized by conventional intelligence. We are...
You cannot justly punish stupidity when you cannot correctly identify it. No human has any right to say who deserves what, but I guarantee that if I was in charge of things, it would depend on the...
You're going to have to be more specific. I refuse to give a response that could even be perceived as arbitrary (unless it's funny). See sig below and study for yourself. Temperament Theory is not...

Ground Zeroes is a prequel to MGS5 I think. The confusion is likely just to stir up conversation. Though I will admit the Phantom Pain looks fascinating. Either or both games give me a genuine brain...
