'Sorry, all. I've been bogged down with work, and haven't been checking the thread regularly. This is a very interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it this way, but I think opening up to...
UGH! lol Impossible to even contemplate, but she does need a lesson, clearly. She did it yet again even after that fat, block-lettered note (which she's left taped to her door, for reasons best...
I don't know who Dr. House is, but yeah, I'd describe myself as very energetic and fairly dynamic. I've been that way from a very young age. I think this might be more influenced by one's...
Fe! I could say so much about my experiences with people who have this as a dominant or auxiliary function, but I hardly know where to begin. They strike me as insincere, manipulative, and very,...
With great difficulty and sorely tried patience. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I look forward to seeing what's worked for others. I've never been stuck dealing with mainly...
I don't know. I tend to be clueless about that stuff, as others have said. In any case, I'm very selective, so unless he's already got my attention, precious little will come of it. And if he does, I...
Most intriguing. Hmm. Several, actually. I don't know about favorites, but I've always been fascinated by these: ENTJ, INTJ (yeah, so what?), INFP, INFJ. Ti also intrigues me in itself. And Ne, I...
What is your Myers Briggs type? INTJ Which are the Myers Briggs types you are most attracted to ? (Attracted to in what sense? I answered in the loose sense.) ENTJ, INTJ, INFJ Which are the Myers...
INTJ Many... Hard rock, e.g., Metallica Classic rock, e.g., Tom Petty Techno, especially industrial. Instrumental, e.g., Einaudi, Helen Jane Long. Dreamy-type folk stuff - Enya, Anuna,...
I hadn't thought of HSP, but I'll have to look into it again. I did a short test once and got negative results, but I might try a more formal assessment. From what I know, they do seem more prone to...
Philosophy, spirituality (who or what one worships, since everyone worships something in a certain sense), psychology, and how these find expression (especially inevitably and unconsciously) in any...
I've always had really high energy levels, which I think is attributable to my type in part (at least, I've often heard that it's correlated with high intelligence), and resting has always been a bit...
How do they affect you? I don't even know what mine are, or not their stack order. But I know that for years now I haven't been feeding my Ne properly in a lot of the things that interest me most,...
Thanks. This was much more than a release of emotion, though. I didn't describe the mystical experiences, but they were not that. The release was what followed (and, in June, partially preceded). ...
I was always an introvert. Most of my personality was pretty pronounced from a very young age, and it's remained largely stable (though of course I've grown a lot, psychologically as well as in other...
INTJ Not quite certain. Reasons: I was raised in Christianity, and practicing Christians (of almost any stripe) continue to be one of the most convincing bodies of evidence against the truth of...
INTJ. 1. I don't mind being the center of attention. I actually enjoy it sometimes. 2. I love (though not exclusively) really emotional music, art, and sometimes, literature and movies. 3. I...
I think it speaks volumes that so many people who have taken the path most traveled feel compelled to attack/ridicule/vilify/warn off those who don't want to. Misery loves company. I'm sure...
I have this problem, too. I think instead of trying to change your perspective (which is rooted in who you are), you might try finding more interesting people who you can actually spend time with....
Oh. My. Fucking. God. This obscene creature. After throwing away all her shit, she finally did start cleaning up around the kitchen...only to start leaving blood on the toilet seat, and open, used...
Mysticism. Long post - please bear with me. I don't know who to go to about this, other than maybe some kind of religious leader, but I don't even know which religion. There's no one I trust who...
stormgirl, yes, unfortunately, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Even at the very beginning before she unfurled her sickness on me, I could see that she was weirdly aggressive. The least...
She leaves urine on the toilet seat. Seriously. This isn't some old lady with dementia, either, it's a college student in her early twenties. No mental retardation, no drug use, no possible medical...
Yes, but I've pretty much always regretted it.
First of all, their logic is absurd. I don't know how you might get them to stop, except maybe try to give them a history lesson in pop music and culture (if you feel like it's worth it to go to that...
Well, yeah, it does sound awful. And since you said they're only behaving this way toward these two women but not the white employees, it does seem like racism. However, since the women themselves...
It sounds racist to me, too. Is there a supervisor you can go to who isn't a part of this dynamic? And what about the women themselves? Do you know if they believe it to be racist discrimination?
The River Murders. Pretty good, but it could've been a whole lot better if it had relied less on shock value and focused more on the drama. It had a really interesting plot, and they just didn't...
This is a really shitty way for a father to talk to his daughter. Don't go along with his plans to put you on drugs...that sounds really extreme (and profoundly ignorant) anyway. Your behavior is a...
As others have said, some people might take up a habit like this in order to gain social acceptance. People can do things for all kinds of different reasons, even if it goes against their own nature....
To the OP's question, my answer, based on my own observations, is no. I think most people put on a false face, but underneath it, they're neither happy nor satisfied. The more they have invested in...
What is an emotional affair? I can see why someone would be upset by their SO falling for someone else, even if they didn't do anything about it, but assuming there's nothing romantic or sexual...
I've wondered about this, too. I have noticed that several of the people I know, of various types, had clear childhood factors that could've influenced their development. But, as someone else said,...
Most of the ENTJs I've known have had the OP's problems with a short fuse. However, I knew one that had a truly beautiful...no, actually, kind of scary self-discipline. This was in part due to severe...
I don't volunteer personal information about myself unless people ask. And then they accuse me of being secretive about myself, and being outspoken in other areas, and focusing on intellectual...
I don't think having trust issues has much to do with being a feeler vs. a thinker. I'm betting life experiences and one's early childhood environment have much more to do with that kind of thing....
Road to Perdition had an ending I'd describe as bittersweet. It didn't ruin the movie for me, because I sort of excised it from the rest of the story in my mind. What I didn't like was that the...
I voted happy. Most of the time, I'm on an even keel, but when I do have seemingly inexplicable feelings, they're usually moving me up instead of down. I didn't have a happy childhood, but since...
I've always gravitated toward action flicks, too. I had a comm class where we had to do a group assignment analyzing the relationship dynamics in a movie. Cluelessly, I suggested movies like Con-Air...
INTJ. My pain tolerance is pretty high, but on the other hand, I have a rather low tolerance for physical irritation. I've never been sure why. As for sensitivity, I'm not sure what the question is...
He definitely sounds like an ENTJ, or maybe even an ESTJ, but not an INTJ. I'm sorry things aren't working out between you, but from your elaboration on the situation, it seems like some distance...
Did the psychologist administer the test, in therapy? That's very interesting. I was going to say, I could see him as either INTJ or ENTJ, but I've never heard that ENTJs tend to be extremely lonely....
People who try to drown other people in goo, especially when they claim to know what's inside me better than I do. Disingenuousness. Insincerity. Cowardly types who try to win and argument by...
I don't know about worst, but a few terrible ones: War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version) Terminator 3 She Gets What She Wants (I'm embarrassed even to have watched it, but I didn't have my...
I've always had this problem. Part of it stems from the fact that I neither relate to nor get the creatures who do fit the stereotypes. Which is probably why I have more male than female friends....
Certain kinds of people do find me intimidating, but I find this to be more of a problem with other women than with men. This was not the case in the religious (evangelical) environment in which I...
I've always tended to be very utilitarian about social norms and regulations: keep what works, chuck what doesn't.
This is so true, unfortunately. You would think that a country on the forefront of science and technology would have committed doctors who always practice with integrity and wisdom, putting their...
Yikes. I'm a little disappointed with Dell, actually. I've had major issues with their computers in the past, which is why I stuck to HP for so long. But people kept telling me how great their...
Apology quite accepted. :) Though I disagree with you on several points, you hit the nail on the head with the conflict of interest problem in the US: Doctors do get compensated, sometimes...'
