'1. Do you prefer active or more passive/relaxing holidays? Why? I'd choose something in between - reasonably active, not frantic. Crowds kill my energy, so it's nice to have a relaxing place to...
I've given it some thought, but no more so than I have hypothetical murders or any other darker thoughts in my head. I've been self-destructive, at times, but never suicidal in the sense that I...
I'm moderately fit, mostly because I have a farm. For strength, I have 50lb feed bags and 75lb hay bales to throw. For cardio, I have goats which no fence can contain. For flexibility, I have...
I'm not sure where I would align myself, but I think I am somewhere in the demisexual/asexual range. I have an elaborate imagination, including sexual fantasies; however, it's rare that I actually...
It's like reading through every conversation I've ever had... In addition to everything that's already been said, in one form or another, I'm often told I need therapy because no one else could...
I think it was the sudden awareness of what I was doing that startled me. And, I'm glad I'm not the only one, too. I was expecting someone to mention the manipulative potential - that's worth...
I'm not properly bilingual (English US & English UK), but I've forgotten words like that too. I very much agree. Maddening.
So many choices... I'll just give my top two. 1.) I let my top teeth drag on the top of my fork. It turns my sister absolutely murderous towards me :) 2.) I speak very, very softly, often with a...
Does Wii Fit yoga count? I do enjoy it, even though it's just a toy. It's the best I can manage in the rural farm-town where I live - No studios here. I find the prospect of hot yoga...
This is a bit embarrassing, so I'm hoping I'm not the only person this happens to - I was getting ready for my day as normal when I was struck by the intense, near paralyzing thought that I could...
I'm not sure if this is really what you're looking for, but I will lie wildly and elaborately for absolutely no reason. I've invented children, siblings, pets, childhood adventures, random trivia,...
In general, I feel like my interactions with other people are like theatre. I don't know what I'm doing, so I act. Related to this, I've recently made the conscious realization that I will...

I married my ISFP male. We started dating 10 years ago, and will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary this summer. We were just discussing our relationship dynamics earlier today. Conclusion:...
Routinely. Sometimes it's a single, sometimes an album or a short playlist.
I have several creative hobbies (my husband's degree is in art, so most any supplies are readily available in his studio). That being said, what I turn to most often is Sims. I enjoy building...
I struggled with this, largely because it's been so long since I've seen or spoken to many of these people. I've specified the era of my life from which I named these people best friend, and how...
Do you have (or have you ever had) a best friend? Are you (of have you ever been) someone's best friend? For sake of argument, let's exclude spouses and romantic partners as they tend to earn the...
I clicked No in the poll, as I do not actively smoke nor have I ever considered myself a smoker. That being said, I have smoked a grand total of 3 cigarettes in my life, all when I was in high...
Male: Sherlock Holmes Female: Elizabeth Bennett I could list plenty of honorable mentions but I went with who came to mind first.

I would switch to eating only veg-based proteins; however, they're far too expensive for me to afford on a regular basis. As it stands, I will eat chicken, turkey, and some fish. When our income...
I'm going to give you someone else's view, not mine, because I think it's very well said. Thoughts on Growing Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu5OiVD2ffE
Usually I am quite content with my aloneness; however, there are occasions when I have very intense feelings of loneliness, and I find myself savoring the pain of missing my friends. Because I had...
I learned a handy response from my college roommate: Well, that's an idea. Feel free to say it with some fake enthusiasm because you never said it was a good idea.
There are exceptions, but in general I am more emotionally invested in fictional characters than I am people in real life. My guilty pleasures on television are Gossip Girl, The Bachelor(ette),...
I interviewed with a couple Ivy schools but chose to go to a small, rural, private school instead. It was partially a matter of personal preference toward smaller campuses, and partially a financial...
(I'm the INTJ in the relationship.) I categorically did not date anyone who I didn't think had the potential to be marriage material. My now-husband asked me out in a February, I agreed in the...
We're barely making it, but we're working to clear our debts and stop relying on credit cards. Once I finish my degree, then I'll be able to increase my income drastically (from part-time retail...
In response to the first question, *you're. To answer, yes. And, to answer the second question, yes. They are, in all likelihood, highly specific to a given set of circumstances, but they...
A damn good nap. Being moved by a book/movie/song. Fine chocolates and imported beer. The smell of used book stores and saddle shops. The first hint of sunlight after an all-night binge-writing...
Deliberate cruelty toward me - one warning, then they are cut out of my life like they were never there, not worth my time. Once is a mistake. Twice is a choice. Forgiveness can be achieved, but not...
- Correcting professors is a waste of breath, especially in the middle of their lecture - Correcting professors is also a waste of breath after class, during office hours, or in exam essays - It...
I never talk when I can text. I'm also a firm believer that my cell phone exists for my personal convenience, not for that of others. I regularly ignore it, and everyone with my number knows that....

I considered everyone's input, carefully broached the subject, and we got it sorted. Not an easy conversation to be sure, but sorted none the less. Things have been much better. I took the...

If it is insecurity, shouldn't that have faded over time? Especially since we've never had relationship issues (ie. no cheating). Or could it be symptomatic of some kind of deeper issue? If so, I...
I am an INTJ female married to an ISFP male. We have been together, dating or married, for nine years. One of the few difficulties I have with our relationship is that he says I love you a...
1.) Eye contact is a major issue for me. Avoid at all costs. 2.) Yes, but it's not my resting expression. It's a weapon. 3.) No idea. Death Glare excluded, I just find eye contact in general to be...
I'm thinking about Sherlock Holmes.
35 - I'd say that's reasonable.
I, too, was on the drumline in high school. Center snare. Loved the power I held then. I don't recall any rumors as amazing as yours though... There was a bit of talk of my being from another...

When I was 12-14, a 30-something woman told my mom that she was too intimidated to talk with me. That was the only time it was explicitly stated, though I am aware of when I am intimidating others...
Nothing significant for me. Though I did have enough caffeine one night to hallucinate (visual, auditory) for quite some time. Other than that, alcohol (only buzzed, never drunk) and a couple of...
I think there's going to be a lot of overlap between this thread and the Things Commonly Said to INTJs thread.'
