'ADDD, my friend, it is like you described my personal story step-by-step. You are absolutely right in every detail. Every single one. It is even scary. Listen to his wise words, fellow INTPs, listen...
My previous relationship was with an INFJ too and everything happened exactly like yours, it was like reading my own story. The understanding/chemistry was perfect and I wonder if I could ever have...
Ah, in that case I agree with you. Most people (even famous writers - but fame is not really related to talent) stick to what is familiar to them. Otherwise the world would be populated with amazing...
Hmmm... I think you are confusing some things in this subject, to be honest. Of course, it is undeniable that it is easier for any human being to relate to what they already know and that is closer...
Hmm interesting. I can see how the enneagram might affect, but it seems she concluded she is not so sensitive, though? From I read in the convos there, it is not my case at all. I also did not see...
If you want to take this into a debate, then there will never be any proof that anyone existed. The longer ago someone existed, the worse, since less and less evidence will be available, which is why...
I came here directed from your comment on that other religion thread. This is an interesting topic indeed, and one I am exactly studying at the moment. I read some studies on neurology that described...
I haven't studied his workings first-hand, but I am interested in your findings and theories, if you feel like sharing eventually. I understand the analogy with the hypotenuse, but I would have to...
I see it as evolution in the comprehension of truth, and as intended... if that is what you meant. And as an author, I entirely support this! I experienced it, but it is a mystery, like so many...
lol this reminded me of something I discussed once, and yes, I agree. He could have created it all at the same time. Like when we think a story, it already exists in our mind, we insert and remove...
All christians believe the old testament is full of mistakes, many of those clarified by Christ. And yes, I agree. For catholics the whole genesis is more of a representation of the order things...
I guess such mention would sound a little confusing 2,000 years ago. ;) I wonder how being all-knowing works with the future, though. With past and present seem easy to understand, but future...
I believe it is not written anywhere in these terms - the writing mention He is all-knowing (even the threads of hair in your head are counted) and created everything. Also, his power is limited by...
This is exactly why I think INTPs are horrible parents. But I've done plenty of bashing in another thread, so I'll restrain myself this time...
Are you an enneagram type 9?
Well, either a relationship/something fun to entertain yourself or the getting rid of such crush after you notice he/she is not so interesting. Either way, it solves it, unless you like the platonic...
How can that have anything to do with it? I do not think I am a sexual 6, at least when I did the test, i got preservation first. Still, I'd like to hear your theory.
As I said, I give preference to Ti, so to what is logical. At least at first. When it comes to judging others. But when it comes to big decisions, I tend to be more emotional... then again... to be...
Also, I don't know if you saw I changed my answer up there because I noticed it was not very clarifying. Whenever my Ti and Fi clash, I tend to give preference to Ti, which is why I work as an INTP....
Yeah. That probably explains why I am not a very functioning individual...
I use Ti for everything in my daily life and decision-process, so I work as a heavy Ti user (INTP), maybe because I have a high IQ and grew up in a rational/academic environment. I just have both...
Well, I do not think I work as an INFP at all... I work more like an INTP or INFJ, but for some reason, I have a very high Fi. I am always aware of my feelings and I am a very sensitive person. When...
The 2 MBTI types that have Fi as dominant function are both P (ISFP and INFP), so there might be a correlation.
And this is why I think I am an INFP. That works like an INTP. :) I do not like to express my feelings so much, though. Still, Reicheru was saying that acknowledging feelings is hard due to...
I wonder if it is harder for J people...
And are you an Fi user? INFP? Btw, I am not saying Fi users don't talk to people or vent. lol Just wanted to make it clear.
To express emotions you don't really have to be in touch with your deepest emotions. You may express the ones you access and even interpret a group's emotions as yours. The opposite is also true....
I need an external unbiased opinion of myself, not marred by the cloudiness of my own psyche. But no one around me is unbiased enough or gives a damn. I wish I could see myself from other ppl's...
I used to have crush on characters so that is not so bad. :P Try contacting the person.
That is correct too. If you look closely, both are correlated to what you said, usually.
Hmm, no, not really. That is Fe. Fi is about feeling a ton of things that no one knows about... Fe (extraverted feeling) is more like engaging in the groups' feeling and expressing it, which is why...
This is less true from my experience. I felt as though I was always conscious of this fact and was too sensitive to her needs. We broke up primarily because she wanted someone to cut the shit and...
Hmm if she accepted the idea, it means she really is interested and doesn't want to get you thinking she is not. But we knew that already by your friends opinion. Still, her reluctance might indicate...
Albeit the second deserves the praise for the effort, both are, objectively, equally good. Some may argue that once known evil, the second has more chance to fall back. But it might actually be the...
I really know the feeling. :/
Someone woke up with a naturalist literary vibe...
1 year and you made no move? No wonder she gets mad at you sometimes and acts coldly. I'd have lost my patience already. So here is the thing: - she may be just playing with you and interested in...
True... I found quite funny when Socrates mentioned this and got to the conclusion that some branches of philosophy are a waste of time. lol
Hmm I did a lot of traveling and colleging. XD Doing both can be expensive, though, especially in the US, so it depends on what you feel like doing. Both are great.
Thank you, I am glad to be of help. I thought it would be interesting to remember that we are all, first of all, humans and individuals. Oh, and I kinda like Justin Bieber songs. In fact, I love...
Enneagram is complementary, but hmmm less reliable no, just less descriptive or useful, imo.
So familiar... damn, we INTP are cursed. wth do we do with so much thinking? What are we supposed to do with it? And worse, how to live with it?
Anxiety, indecisiveness and procrastination.
Haha hear hear. They say ENTJs are good matches for us, but I just can't see the appeal in extroverts. >.> And you did mention the girl being attractive, so who knows. lol But for most guys, that is...
Hmm why? I think he is too meticulous and focused... very INTJ to me. I think Jorge Luis Borges is possibly an INTP indeed... his stories always seemed so... familiar to me. Frame-of-mind speaking.
-___-'' This is what I mean by so many reasons. Not to mention that with guys it is always about the looks. Being a fairly attractive female, it is better for me to stay away. Talking to the guy...
I didn't even remember it existed, probably a very old post? >.> So you're 6w5 too? Welcome to the freakly distrustful team. :P
This is actually my dream come true. >.<
wingwoman? I don't think this term would apply to me, to INTP girls and even for girls in general, for so many reasons... The best way to help a female friend with a guy (when you have those...
I was indeed agreeing with your rant. Even though I understand the wish to talk when you have nothing to say in particular, the responsibility to bring a topic befalls upon those who express the...'
