'You could say that Karma acts out in society in that criminals are apprehended by the legal system. If nice folks did sit back and let injustices occur, then you could argue they are acting in bad...
I often find I have a grotesque fascination (and caring) for people who are in pain. A part of me really values intuitively grasping the problems of another, and I've been remarked to be very easy...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKZkYxB1Hk Sufjan's music often has that nebulous way of approaching an idea, Ni is getting a sense of deeper or more foundational qualities of a person/thing...
Nabbit I can't say I'm a huge proponent of MBTI or cognitive functions, but judging by your function stack in your signature - Ni>Fi>Ne>Si, you seem perfectly suited towards these kinds of...
How do you think your interactions with others would be different if you were interacting with Ni-doms?
I enjoy doing that kind of thing as well, though usually I say something absurdly stupid or counter to logic and pass it off with a deadpan expression as being my genuine opinion.
No, I am not superstitious or religious, but I do have a strong sense of spirituality. I mean that in the sense of being connected to the irrational part of my humanity that seeks and dreams in...
Just how hard to understand do you mean? Are you cryptic with what you say? Or is it simply a great leap of perspective to understand the humorous side to a lot of what you say?
Hello! (Oh wait, I don't belong here!) Well, greetings from the INTPs. You should come visit sometime, we have cake and existential musings!
Well, if everyone were like me, then I would be like everyone else, which would violate my individualist-compulsion, and I would likely become like something else in order to maintain a sense of...
You're favorite type is INTP, I imagine?
INFPs, you are fun to squish! ^_^
Hey, just thought I'd poke around in here, cause some ruckus. How do you INFJs tend to express humour? Would you say you are particularly humorous? Are there things that you find humorous...
I laugh a lot at my own humour, but I don't often make jokes. To me, a joke is a more discrete and consistent entity that is purposefully told, whereas humour is more of a mode of perceiving...
I don't know... I've found a lot of glee in my ramble-blather!
The quality of meaning is absurd. And yet so juicy!
It may or may not be ridiculous, but the point of the saying is not nearly so much in it's applicability to chains, but rather in the complexity of its implicit thematic elements. The point at which...
Redonkulous is truly a word without surd. I cannot extend any reason other than pure madness to the notion of saying same difference rather than same thing either. Post Terminated.
I think we can all agree that Monty Python is the pinnacle of some random assertion that will hopefully win the prestige and adoration of my fellow INTPs.
Yes, well these things are obviously bad. I am generally wary of anything intended to be serious.
And what, to you, counts as unhinged absurdity?
Absurd! How much of it can you handle? Are you a harbinger of absurdity? What with the intellectualism ascribed to INTP, I think many think that we think in almost exclusively pragmatic...
Maybe. But I've found it's a fleeting endeavor to use something like level of contentment or pleasantness of feeling as a metric to gauge happiness. The point, to me, is: does my life have meaning?...
Would you be able to change my name to Cryoshakespeare? :) Thanks, this outdated username is awful! xD
5w4 4w5 8w7 sx/so I don't know, I don't believe I have the capacity to predict what I would do under extreme circumstances, having never been in one.
Well, music with a logical or calculated vibe to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX1pm2o_2T4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fznHWFIvGlk And then an emotional spin on that vibe by...
That is so damn true. I have strong feelings which tend to express themselves in negative and subversive ways if I suppress them, so instead I prime my emotional state every morning by listening to...
Alright, cool. I have strong emotions, well, more specifically, I have strong drives such as anger and I can be stimulated to hyper-activity and energy easily enough. Though this entirely depends on...
Huh. Those dramatic things you talk about sound *extremely* similar to the kinds of drama that I used to make when I was still dealing with my fucktonne of repressed rage back when I was frequently...
My ability to find things boring without shame
Alright, I think I'm getting the picture: My emotions do not make me special, and while I certainly have strong and changeable feelings, I tend to let them go. They do not define me, they are of...
Typeless? Maybe motivated to not have a type, which indicates ideas of self-forgetting or an undefined-self, which indicates Enneatype 9? Not seeing much Enneatype 1 there. Or Type 2. Type...
Apologies, it's been nearly a month since you posted your reply! To be honest, I recognise a major irony in my behaviour. It is a value of mine that one's personal beliefs should be put under...
I think the addition of wings and tritype greatly help combat the problem you've mentioned. In my opinion, every aspect of the Enneagram, the Holy-Idea, the motivations, the passions, ego-fixation,...
I do wonder who or what exactly defines the purpose of the Enneagram. I'll admit, it is structured in such a way that it is functionally built for self-discovery, but I don't think one is necessarily...
In terms of typing other people though, it is more reliable to look at behaviour, at least as a basis. I agree though that motivation is hugely important, but it takes a considerable degree of...
While your lack of capitalisation makes your points seem initially more suspect, I have to admit I'd agree with all your points above. Only you can know your Enneagram type sounds more like a...
Oh dear, I completely missed that! I'm aware it's some time after you commented, but I'll do my best to reply now :) Intensity, in my mind, is a particular form of expression of the clash of the...
Are any of you 458's influenced by Nietzsche at all? Personally I'm reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Kaufmann) at the moment and I'm finding it quite revolutionary. And another question: How do you...
I'm very wary about bandying about the idea of what is an illusion and what isn't. I mean, you could argue that everything is an illusion, that the only reliable axiom is I think, therefore I am,...
Considering that humans are the only species we know of to display love in the very particular manner that we do, I would say that love exists because of the incredibly long period of time that a...
I shift towards abnormality and esoteric-ways because it is there for me that the interest of life lies. My tritype is 5w4 4w5 8w7 sx/so. I find it amusing that others care about or crave normality,...
Perhaps for those more depressive moments of an sx 5w4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nShc6s6vrhU
Well, after having staked my claim and attempted to sound like an intellectual superior, I'll now ask a question of actual interest. What think ye 458's of romantic relationships?
Right, 5w4 4w5 8w7 here. In my opinion, a lot of people here have over-accentuated the darkness of this archetype. Dark dark dark depressed nihilist. I'll admit that at times nihilism can overcome...

That's an interesting way to put it, toxic. I think everyone has the ability to be toxic, to be pure as well. It's just that INFJs are so damned potent in who they are that if toxicity plays it's...
Re-incarnation is a nice concept, and I can see why many people take to it. But there's not many things which in conceptual form I'm ready to believe. For instance, the idea that anything outside...
