'I'm thinking that you are probably INTP. A lot of your answers are nearly identical to what mine would be (and yes, I know, this is an unscientific way to confirm, but I don't have time to analyze...

Do any other INTPs ever get secondhand embarrassment, to the point where you can't re-watch certain parts of movies and stuff like that? For example, The Office (specifically Michael Scott) provoked...

You know you're INTP when you always forget which side of the faucet is for hot water and which is for cold (unless the colours are there)...or is it just me?

I am an INTP in nursing school, and while I have not gone very far yet, I have learned enough to see that nursing is nothing like the stereotypes. I would say it's very good for someone with strong...

I think one way of looking at it would be to ask the question: If someone argues against or contradicts this thing that I think/feel, will I be offended/have an emotional response? If so, then it's...

I think it's fear of an unknown/unimaginable afterlife that prevents many people from killing themselves (think Hamlet's to be or not to be speech). So in this hypothetical situation, many people...

I find that unless I already know someone quite well, it's impossible for me to act my normal self around them—I fall into chameleon mode and mirror their personality until they put me at ease enough...

I think those sorts of people either a) mean that they respect the people who have different beliefs or b) appreciate the moral beliefs that are common to nearly all religions, or c) are attracted to...

When you have always lived on a road that has a number (County Rd. 14) as well as a real name, but for 10+ years you never actually knew that it also had a number even though it is on an obvious...

Interestingly enough, I am not sad and depressed (most of the time) in terms of emotionsx97I simply view the world in a more negative light than many other people, which makes its moments of real joy...

That's a good thought! And yes, on independent analysis it did seem to me that Russian lit often has an INFJ feel (I was simply confused by the fact that the INFJs in my life don't appreciate it, but...

This did get lost in translation, until recently, because most of the translations were overly anglicized (e.g. Constance Garnett) or simply dull. But Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky...

For those out there who appreciate that ethereal/impossible-to-explain element of Russian literature, music, and philosophy: what personality type(s) are most drawn to/connected with it? I'm...

I love to learn languages, and have studied French, Arabic, and German. I've always had a sort of wanderlust and wanted to visit other countries and immerse myself in other cultures. I find grammar...

I carry on conversations with myself all the time, with accompanying facial expressions. Though when I'm looking in the mirror I tend not to, because that is the point at which I realize how strange...

You know you're INTP when you were having an imaginary conversation with someone in your head and they say something really stupid, and you make a That's stupid! expression on your face and...

Lately I've been wondering how many of the great writers and thinkers of the past were inadvertently on mind-altering substances, given how widespread their regular use was until relatively recently....

Exactly my thoughts! The word boring says much more about the mental creativity of the person using the term than about the person/thing/idea to which the label is being applied. Not to say that...

Just realized that dimensional analysis (in maths and science) could also be termed dementia-nal analysis because it is such a mindless process and can churn out the right answer without the...

I feel somewhat the same, though I haven't always tested as INTP. I'm very bad at objective self-analysis, and a lot of types (particularly IxTx) have seemed to be possibilities for me. I originally...

After some lengthy introspection, I've concluded that the INTP personality fits me better than the ISTJ. I've always been quite sure that I use Ti more than Te, and after studying the function axes...

I'd list more friends, but I only really have one close friend outside of my family. Most of my current friends are authors and great thinkers from the past who are already dead, unfortunately. ...

All of the above! Of course, the feelings are primarily left inside. I think with ISTJ's in particular though, they tend to last a very long time, because of habit and getting used to them. So, it...

Haha! Story of my life. I rarely use that word, as much as I am sorely tempted to!

According to your answers, your dominant Tendency is Questioner. Interesting, thanks for sharing. I think they've evaluated me correctly.

I don't really know if this is an intuitive thing (or maybe Ne) but when you're trying to have a logical, structured argument with someone and the person tries to relate millions of unrelated topics...

Hmm, that's the tricky part—knowing whether someone is just trying to observe you or actually likes you. Whether I like someone or am just observing them, I avoid letting them see that I'm looking at...

This was an interesting test! Thanks for sharing. Now I know why I love the sciences (though my analytic ability is apparently not above average). Also, this explains why I don't think I fit into all...

Haha! ISTJ's never stare at people openly. Actually, I stare at people all the time. However, if I like someone, I will do my best not to show it, unless it seems (either instinctively or...

When you go on the ENFP forum for the first time and feel as though you're in a different universe! Everything is so foreign. O.O

I'm maybe a 3-4 out of 10 in this. I zone out all the time, even during conversations with people; I sometimes think it's terribly obvious that I'm not listening to them and thinking about other...

Indifferent.

I think it's because the ISTJ type descriptions and stereotypes are unfortunately the most boring and unlikable. They're like INTJ's without the little bit of coolness that the N supposedly brings....

In response to the follow-up questions: 1. Yes, I think so. 2. For me they'd probably be an annoyance because of their predictability but it will vary according to the individual. 3. We can...

One website that has been a lifesaver for me is Duolingo. It has several languages, including French, Spanish, and German, and it's so much fun. After I completed all the content for one language,...

1. It looks to me as though she does enjoy your company! 2. That is hard to tell; in fact it might be hard for her to figure them out. We don't read people very easily. 3. Yes, I think now would be...

Wow, according to these I am not a stereotypical ISTJ. Actually I don't think stereotypical ISTJ's exist because it must be that a non-ISTJ made up the stereotypes—they're so off. 1. Asking...

Hmm, this is interesting. Maybe he actually enjoys being around you and just doesn't show it, or tries not to show it. Sometimes other personalities seem exciting and different to us, so we prefer to...

I've gone fairly high in piano (grade 8) and enjoyed most of it. I find learning new songs to be easy and fun. I also used to draw/paint and enjoy it a lot; I don't do much of that anymore. If...

This is very true for me as well! (I'm probably an ISTJ, but stereotypically closer to INTJ, if that makes any sense.) Also, when I am trying to make conversation with someone I don't know/jive with...

As an ISTJ, my best friend is an ISFJ, and we get along great. Despite the fact that I think I irritate her in some ways, and she might irritate me in others, the time we spend together is always...

I most often test as ISTJ, but I have also tested INTJ and ISTP. I don't seem to fit into all the stereotypes of ISTJ's. I don't hold onto opinions when I see reason to change them. I am often lost...

YAY colours and rainbows and unicorns and sparkles! And butterflies!!!! Oh and I wanna be a fairy! ^__^ (The other day I thought, the only aspect of unicorns that I actually like is that spike on...

I'm ISTJ. Abortion: no, because I believe in human rights and scientifically speaking, human life begins at conception. Health care: Publicly/taxpayer funded Economy: a careful balance, with...

Hmm, xNxP? Type most likely to oversensationalise every piece of information they share (incidentally, one of my pet peeves).
