'Don't be fooled: this is almost definitely a secret test to see how much INTPs fit into the nerdy Star Wars virgin stereotype.
You're right, it does say that. I think I meant to respond to the last part that says that INTPs don't like interpersonal conflict. It's not like I DO like it, I just don't mind it, and am more...
It's a possibility that this is an INTP thing. Or it's a possibility that he's simply immature. In my experience the kind of people who set out wanting to provoke other people are the kind of...
I would say this is mostly true for me. Especially the money part. I tend to worry a lot with money, but then I also end up being very impulsive with it, especially when it comes to food or books. ...
I once wished that I was stupid so that I wouldn't think so much. Now I know better. Thinking is good. Don't add to the general stupidity of mankind. We need all the thoughtful people we can get.
Oh yeah, plus, poetry, duh. Not so much a concept as much as a mode of cognition. e.g. My endless fall to my endless fall where no one awaited me, so at seeing who was awaiting me I didn’t see...
I think monolatry (the ancient egyptian conception of deities/deity) is a beautiful concept. How it works: There is a company of gods, and we can describe a number of gods as head/leader gods...
I think a lot of the time when people mention Western logic they're either referring to formal logic, logical positivism, or both. Another response I could give you would be polyvalent logic, in...
The best conversations I've had is when I start with an interesting topic and someone can keep up or even bridge it to weird ideas of their own. ex.: Hey, what do you think of the possibility that...
Non-Fregean logics would be an example. It was first created by a Polish logician named Roman Suszko. tl;dr version: Formal, linear logic eliminates the contents of propositions, turning them...

In a U.S. or Western context, probably because a lot of the society is built around valuing logical positivist ideals as much as having history of a Judeo-Christian religion. Then there's ignorance-...
Not really about complexity. More like, how to modify myths so that inappropriate stuff for youngsters such as pederasty and necrophilia are not a problem. (until later on when they're ready for it,...
I don't like to think about it. Old age scares me. But I figure by the time it's my turn to die (hopefully after having lived a full life) I will have come to terms with it.
I'm usually direct and to the point. If for some reason the person I'm talking with views any of the details I've given as superfluous, then that would be their subjective opinion. I don't...
You could create a Super Argument out of any of your beliefs, be they religious, moral, etc., typically something that is controversial. Write it out in a systematic way for it to be brief enough to...
Be open to the new culture. Prepare for culture shock. Prepare to miss home. Prepare to have an exciting and wonderful time as you begin to flex your adult muscles. Bring country specific snacks...
I typically HATE doing group work (I'm thinking of school setting) but I'm inevitably always the group leader. This is because as soon as the teacher says OK, get started, all the people in my...
Hum. I'm not surprised about your inspiration to learn Norwegian. I have some personal reasons for all the languages I listed: Spanish, because it's the first foreign language I started to learn. ...
I majored in Spanish. I'll be doing a teacher training course to teach English in July. And my goal is to someday learn Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic...plus maybe Swedish. I like...
I learn because it's about the only thing that makes me feel really stimulated. That, and when I encounter gaps in my knowledge, I like to fill them in as much as I can before I feel I can give a...
Hey parents or parents to be, I fall in the second category. What's got me worried is this emotional...thing. I worry that since I'm usually emotionally closed off, will I be available enough for...
Well that is strange. I swear I looked this up before posting, and I wouldn't have made a definitive statement like that if I didn't believe it. Yes and no it looks like; there are some forms of...
You give 10 reasons why people are religious, all of them entirely possible. That I do not doubt. However they are only 10 among many. There are millions of people on this planet. I'm sure...
I don't often expect other people to conform to rules I myself wouldn't follow. However I do tend to have ridiculously high expectations for myself, and this bleeds into my expectations of others. ...
Name one person on this earth that doesn't want it their way. Seriously, what is the point of even asking this if you're not even experiencing it?
I can see why the OP has taken interest in it. A common misconception about astrology is that only your sun sign matters. It's actually a lot more complicated than that. This is why whenever you...
I think philosophical texts are notorious for being written convolutedly. This is what I'm reading for my epistemology class tomorrow. Not exactly difficult, but can be perplexing for those not...
I'll be taking a CELTA course during the month of July. If you want to know how that went, get back to me afterward. :p Info on various courses, specific to Spain: Alphabet Soup What you...
Completely and entirely. Both men and women are capable of this behavior. Limiting this to a gender thing is sexist. Please educate yourself. Why was I sent to*this*blog? « Finally, A...
Hey, I used to do the same thing. I've been in 4 long term relationships, all of them lasting at least two years. With all of them I thought I would end up marrying them. I never did the dating...
You make ridiculous sexist generalizations. That's entirely normal of your kind. Doesn't make you any less annoying, but it is normal.
Something that just occurred to me which I think is amusing: I will always first be super proud of being Californian before being American. I grew up in the Bay Area (near San Francisco) and have...
I'm a U.S. citizen, and an expatriate (currently and indefinitely residing in Andalusia, Spain). I never really was very fond of my birth country, because of the intense hypocrisy of our wonderful...
I know you probably don't want to hear this, but in my experience, relationships don't always have to last FOREVER. Nor do you have to treat it like it's going to last FOREVER. Enjoy what you have...
Simone, I kinda get what you´re going through, and I really think it´s more of an age gap thing than a personality thing (although that has a lot to do with it too.) As someone studying abroad in a...
If you smile but it doesn't reach your eyes, people know you're faking it. If you want people to think of you as warm and social, you could try caring about their stupid problems. Yes, people are...
I know you've already made your decision, but speaking as someone who was in a 4.5 year relationship with someone who has depression and anxiety, you need to learn that if you're setting yourself up...
I love teaching. I am going to be learning the specifics of teaching young learners soon, and just from some self-preparation I stumbled across Piaget's stages of child development (Child...
I've seen this behavior in INTPs as well. Having grown older and more patient, I chalk it up to youthful insecurity and egoism. Myself included. Easy answer: let her know that you have faith...
How is not using the word retard, for example, degrading? How is it less degrading to those who are made to feel ashamed and stupid when you use their disability as a synonym for idiot? I don't...
Sorry if I seem abrupt here, I had a long response and lost everything when I accidentally pressed the back button. Here´s the tl;dr version. :/ My reasons: 1. Decency. I think it´s common...
If you have to force yourself into thinking you don't want a conventional relationship with him, do you really think this is what you want? Furthermore, if you have to make an effort, do you think...
deusXmachina I suggest you say what you literally mean the next time instead of choosing a word that has an instantly offensive meaning and is more likely to be understood in the offensive, modern...
deusXmachina: Here's where I'm the only party pooper in the thread that asks if you would please change the thread title to not negatively stigmatize a population for their disabilities. Feeling...

Why am I suspicious that this thread is an attempt for a marketing sock to gain valuable statistics on people of certain personality types and ages? o_o;
