'I've had them my whole life. I've tried different remedies, but nothing works.

I've dated so many ENFP's.... another one came on to me last week. Agh. They seem to find INTP's deep and reflective. They want to break us out of our shells. But they really don't offer much...

I went back and re-read the title and the first post. A few times. I think I get it now. Why...?

A very valid point. I hope to get a large enough sample, and then compare that to the standard frequency of hair colors. And then we could bust out the statistics and figure out the degree of...

I see where you're coming from. I'd like to note that the Ennegram forum came to the conclusion that I'm actually a 3w4. And I don't have the competitve drive. I'm not saying you're wrong -...

I'm an INTP. My best friend is an ISTJ. Seems like I'm destined to help with this thread. The ISTJ is definitely a lot more agressive than me. He takes competition incredibly seriously. A loss...

Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No-one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to...

This was an amazing post. Seriously, I can see you put a lot of time and heart into it. I've thought about it a good deal, and you're certainly right. I've relied on my Ti my whole life - it...

Sure, I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to know at this current moment in time, if we were to observe all of the INTP's in the universe, would there be a trend? What hair looked like...

As opposed to a single choice with a radio button...?

I'm definitely an INTP, and to be completely honest, this doesn't really apply to me. I always like to go into situations blind and use my Ti and Ne to figure out what to do. I agree that you...

I was hoping 'Grey' would cover it. But I suppose I should have elaborated. You could always choose 'Other'.

Observation: Your profile picture is Missingno. But before I dismiss this thread, what did you honestly hope this thread would accomplish? (Not asking sarcastically, but genuinely.)

I tend to assume a lot of things about other people based on their hair color. It's probably wrong, but before I dismiss it... do INTP's tend to have certain hair color?

It's always nice to have a new recruit in the INTP army. Together, we shall conquer the other types!

Certainly. I've dated many women in high school/college. But I've realized every single one of them was a Feeler. Which, for me anyways, is a recipe for disaster. ENTP's intrigue me, because they...

So it is! I didn't even notice. Gentlemen, we have three months to prepare. 2013 is our year to conquer the dating scene.

I have the same thoughts toward dubstep that I do towards anime. Most of them, especially the popular ones, are absolutely awful. But if you look through all the trash, you can find a few to be...

During my lunch break, I tend to throw on some headphones and walk aimlessly around the city. I used to keep the headphones off in case I met somebody interesting. But it never happened. I really...

Good suggestion. I wonder how a recent college graduate could do anything there though... I suppose I'm still young enough that I could pretend I'm a student...? :P

Conclusion: I am the only INTP in the city of Pittsburgh.

Yes, I suppose I am! Having someone else who understands my Ti and develops my Ne sounds exciting. Not to mention I've dated way too many Extraverted Feelers. ;D what you say! all your...

It's nice to have another INTP throw in his opinion. I'm very much in agreement with you, jeffbobs. ENTP's seem to be drawn to drastic physical displays of nonconformity in the real world. They...

From my brief observations of this forum, I've learned that when it comes to relationships: you don't find ENTPs, they find you So my question is: What do you look for when you decide whether...

Perhaps this could be my next thread...? ;)

Lemme see what I can dig up here.... Aha! Although [INTP's] have more simple needs from interpersonal relationships than most other types have, it's very important that they keep up their...

I generally like to spend time solo. People tend to frustrate me. But every now and then I get fired up and want to go out and do something. Where do INTPs typically hang out in Pittsburgh?

We have pretty similar tastes from the sound of it. I recently got into l4d2, and really enjoy it. I'll keep an eye out for the other games you recommended.

I have an ISTJ friend that plays that game religiously. The learning curve way way too high for me, personally. Not to mention the gameplay fell a bit on the repetitive side.

Hey Navi, Could you offer some tips for a fellow INTP? My Fe frankly scares the heck out of me. It constantly looks to other people to try to feel validated. I'm never good enough. And in the...

A friend of mine gave me advice you might want to consider: Whenever you feel tense or nervous, figure out the opposite of that feeling: in this case, relaxed and confident. Focus on making your...

I've actually read a good deal on INTP's becoming teachers. The common consensus is that it can work, but only under two conditions. 1) INTP's function better in higher levels of academia. There...

I think a lot of us do that. It's what puts the 'I' into INTP, no? Just because society encourages you to have the most friends doesn't mean you need to play along. We just prefer quality over...

The level of wit in this thread is fantastic. Well done my fellow INTPs. :D

Wow. That's seriously me in a nutshell. The good and the bad. I think I need to print this out and hand it out to potential girlfriends. Hello. This is what you're getting into.

I've heard a lot of good things about Guild Wars 2. I've always been super reluctant to actually pay money for an MMO, but maybe I'll give this one a try.

Dude. We've had like the same game career. I'm really into TF2, and I pretty much exclusively play Medic. Spy and Engi are fun too. And I also played WoW on an accelerated private server. I shot...

Maybe that's why I can't get into them. :)

Agreed. I'm an INTP. My ISTJ friend really loves the show as well. Also, it's been said before, but why ISN'T this a poll? :)

I've tried World of Warcraft as well as several other MMO's. They all struck me as way too rigid and repetitive. I played Mabinogi for a long time, but other than that I haven't found one I...

Hello! I'm a wandering INTP. I've never met an ENTJ before. Theoretically we are supposed to really get along. My Ti is the compliment to your Te. But I would think that the higher standards...

Oh man. This is dead on. I've dated many ENFP's. We're always naturally attracted to each other. At first I always act as her escape from reality, and she becomes my escape from my mind....

The logic! It's so beautiful. Give me a moment to take this in... Sorry, I'm used to people getting really emotional about photos. You definitely strike me as a Thinker. Perhaps Ti. xxTx ...

Exactly! You're like an endangered species! Hence the topic. Never thought of it that way. Interesting... :)

So perhaps I should ask where to find INTJ's... Then I can use them as bait! :D

I just got out of college this June. My job has been mostly grunt work and training so far. I'll defer my answer until some more substantial projects come up. :) That said, ESxx's are generally...

I know this question wasn't necessarily aimed at me, but I figured I'd share. I work in a call center - I typically am left alone, but some certain ESxx's can't seem to get the hint. I find...

That was a really solid post, Zeep. Thank you. I'll try to shift my focus away from flagging down an ENTP, more towards bettering myself. ^_^ It intrigues me that you couldn't mention a...

Hello! I'm a wandering INTP. On our forum, we have a topic that discusses where to meet INTP women, which is rather interesting. So if you don't mind my asking - where would I likely meet a...
