'Hi guys, I am a lurking INTP on this forum and IRL I'm a PhD student of linguistics in Poland. I am doing a project on word learning and to construct the stimuli for my study I need some American...

I need about 9 hours of sleep - from midnight till 9 a.m. I have the luxury of being able to stick to it and I do. Sleep is super important for me and even minor sleep deprivation has a huge effect...

I agree with most of the things that you're written, however, in my experience, trying to convince an Fe dom not to do the thing they do for your own good (be it putting ketchup on your sandwich...

A friend told me that in situations when the emotional load exuded by other people is too much, he gets out of the room - physically removes himself from the unhealthy person. I think that the method...

Hmm... I don't know whether there was such a thread, tbh. This problem with inability to detach from people's emotional states, with having them in your head is something a couple of my friends...

I have three words for you - thought screen helmet. TBH, your problem might be pretty abstract to most INTPs. I believe that it stems from the very fact that your dominant function is Fi and you...

1. Wait for like-minded gals to respond in this thread. 2. Check out which one lives closest to your neighbourhood. 3. Date her. 4. ???? 5. PROFIT!!! Alternatively, post your post on a dating...

Btw, I can't believe no-one has referenced Indigo children so far. Kilgore Trout are you awake? :tongue:

I shoot lasers from my eyes.  http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4226/148051-103500-xavier-institute-for_super.jpg

I have 2 other hypotheses concerning not following the advice. First possibility: I noticed that people often don't know what they want, but are much better at knowing what they don't want. The...

Let me recap. Firstly, you come to the ESFJ forum and ask ESFJs (people, whose dom function is Fe, which values common morals above all else) and ask them how to screw up another ESFJ (and ask...

Me! Consciousness studies, brains cut in slices Language, biology, complex devices Books and ideas, my laptop, (beer) Are just a few things that I hold dear.

Urban Dictionary: The mental image will never go away :crazy: Also, how do laser sex eyes work?

I hate it when SO shaves clean and I'd hate it if he cut his hair. I met him hairy, I got used to him hairy, and I hate it when he stops being hairy. I'm 23. With other guys, I haven't noticed any...

Awwwwwwww :laughing:

I wouldn't. It takes a lot to get me out of bed before 9-10 a.m. :tongue: 1. Balance in life. I want to be able to enjoy what life has to offer while not being disturbed by its unpleasant...

I feel lonely sometimes but it seems to happen when I'm surrounded by people, more often than not. On my own, I'm usually quite happy. I like solitude. In social setting, however, I sometimes feel...

I criticise your despicable unappreciation of having your face melted. Face the face-melting! Embrace it!

Thank you very, very much for the link, eunoia. I find it very useful and relevant (also - it speaks volumes about my interactions with my Fe parents, lol). I cannot tell, really. It's...

Mhm. I also wanted to post about it. High five, username. :laughing: I haven't noticed my Fe interfering with the Ti-driven thinking process itself. When I'm analysing stuff, I can actually...

I don't know really. I have the impression that I'm way more critical about myself than about other people. Unless they really ride into one of my pet peeves (like sexism) or make my life...

Yes, more dominant seems like an appropriate way of putting it. The way I understand it, INTPs with strong Fe, still have Ti as their dominant function, their perception of the world is Ti-oriented,...

To INTPs with strong Fe: How (why, what for) did you develop your Fe? Did you want to develop it? Did it happen as a result of the environmental influence and upbringing? Did it happen naturally...

Calling people I know in urgent situations is ok, I guess. The rest is terrifying. I hate talking on the phone. I get sick when I have to arrange something over the phone with strangers. Awkward...

This. I experience somewhat of a split in such situations. The person on the outside - my overgrown Fe - just blurts out the conventional lines, smiles and nods, the person on the inside - my Ti -...

I know, right? :laughing:

Lol, boys. Ti at its finest. Captain Obvious is proud of you. :crazy:

I have the syndrome described and I call it intellectual bulimia. I get hooked on a subject and I gorge on the data connected with it. I research it, I read about it and think about it for a day,...

I am very rare. A beautiful and unique snowflake, me.

I don't live in the US. I don't have a TV. I don't buy glossies and I don't search gossip portals. I don't write bullshit to impress random strangers. In general I try to avoid writing bullshit (if...

I asked google about k-fed and benefits. Google says you're right. EDIT: Ok, I admit. I still don't get it. Stupid Bee, stupid.

This. Also, if someone does something interesting (that usually concerns artists, philosophers, writers etc.), I'm often curious about the personality behind it. In principle, the more...

Most probably 6w5 - 9w1 - 3w2 sp/sx. I'm pretty sure of 6w5 - I'm actually a textbook example of that type.

This. However, let me comment that exploding cherries are a far superior way of dealing with the zombie situation.

Nah, that's just you... :tongue:

I hardly ever get bored when alone. Usually, I have imaginary conversations in my head. Or I replay conversation I've had and stretch them in different directions. I try different answers and...

(a) yes (b) in having sex :mellow:

The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with people wanting to be sexually atractive. And I do believe that to some extent we're all sexual objects. But sex constitutes just a fraction of our life....

Mainstream porn doesn't do it for me. But I don't get the arguments about the exploitative porn industry. I can't believe that if you sign up to be a porn actor, you don't know what you're getting...

cloud seeding

I believe that understanding the reality behind it all is not (or at least not only) the matter of high intelligence, but the matter of what you want and are ready to see. I've seen highly...

More make-up, less combing. http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/new_moon_pic_robert_pattinson_kristen_stewart.jpg (compare the amount of lipstick on him and on her) Also, a...

Who doesn't? ;)

Epic black holes are epic. Don't tell me you wouldn't like to be one... :P

Mina, this post struck a chord with me. I'm really grateful that you shared it. My relationship with parents seems very similar to yours, so I will project here a lot, but I hope it will be of some...

It's permanent. That's the trick ;) I would take it for the brief moment of reaching understanding. I wouldn't resist the possibly of such perfect completion. After that I think I'd either kill...

Novalis Good call! :laughing:

I would make food... I like food. Mmmmmm... brownies!

Imagine this: One day you meet a wizard who offers you a magical pill. This pill gives you the knowledge of the entire universe and everything within it. Within a few brilliant minutes the...'
