'What the things that make you feel loved? When someone actually finds the subject I'm talking about to be compelling and can respond at length. When they have things to talk about that I can...
I'm afraid of Being geographically separated from all my friends and family, moving away and having no one to confide in People thinking my lifestyle is parasitic (which, if I am honest with...
I'm really drawn to xNxP types and we usually communicate quite well. I'm drawn to ENTJs and ENFJs but it doesn't generally seem to be mutual. I'm drawn to intense people in general, but the...
To be fair, INTPs tend toward being bad at expressing our ideas and are easily misunderstood. Stretching definitions can be a particular problem for us, thanks to our basic mode of self-expression...
Dude, I've been studying MBTI for years now. I am familiar with the distinction. My description stands in most cases for most ENFJs I have met--especially the part about them disliking you if it...
This can be a typical ENFJ approach. You guys tend to pathologize people who dislike you when, in fact, believe it or not, it's possible for people to just naturally dislike you without being...
How I view ENFJs (disclaimer, just the ones I've met. I'm sure many of you are better than this.) - They're charming as hell when you first meet them. They seem, at first, like absolutely...
Most of these careless mistakes DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE in 8 weeks, 8 months, or 8 years and you will forget them. INTPs love to beat themselves up about such things but it's a lot better just to...
I think farming can actually be decent work for INTPs, though it can be on the boring and routine side. Clever approaches sometimes pay off really well, though. I grew up on an organic livestock farm...
Oh ISFPs. I think a lot of us INTPs have had ISFP friends/romantic relationships. I wouldn't be surprised if it were one of the most common relationships that ends up happening. My ISFP ex, well, I...
Optimism is unrealistic in this situation. It's like expecting donkeys to suddenly develop mathematical reasoning skills. Human nature has a consistent basis in biology. We're a social species of...
Winners. Hah. Looks like the ENTJs have successfully indoctrinated you to do their bidding.
Ahahaha, optimistic? How many INTPs have you actually met? I don't think I've met a single one who wasn't pessimistic and rather cynical about other people and humanity. Growing up with the innately...
The big question is, what kind of dynamics do you want at play in the relationship? The more different from you your partner is, the more potentially balanced your combined approach could end up...
What's so strange about this test is how some people just are lower scoring in all categories than others. Does that mean they're less human?
Classical is my first love, especially Romantic era. I am a big fan of Brahms, Dvorak, Rachmaninov, Bruckner, Mahler, Shostakovich. I also love John Adams, the modern American composer. I play piano...
human resources social capital, hell, anything that is not money + capital, like emotional capital, human capital, etc. awkward is an extremely overused/misused term. Also it almost...
I don't own a (working) car. If I move to the nearby large city I'm getting a bicycle; If I move to a smaller city in the mountains I'll get a used mid-2000s Prius. You just can't beat the fuel...
Hi INTPs, I'd like to hear all about your experiences moving to new places, away from everyone you know. What was your rationale for doing so? How has it gone? Do you feel like it was a good...
I talk to myself a lot, literally. Speak words to myself out loud. It's a dangerous habit, but it helps me think better. I probably should stop, but it's really hard! Obviously, I only do it when no...
I can see where you're coming from. Sounds like you've been painfully burned, and I've been burned that way myself. The way to prevent that from happening is doing your utmost to control your actions...
There are a number of different happinesses I experience. One is the feeling of accomplishment and success at practical labor when my work on it is flowing well. For once, I have broken through...
I would say female ESFJ/ISFJ are the least attractive type, so no! You guys pretty much win! You just need to find your people!
This INTP says the dreamless life is not worth living. ENFPs, I admire you, you beautiful dreamers.
Dad: ENFP Mom: INFJ Sister: ENFP I'm engaged in the family business with my dad and sister, too. Dealing with a management team of 2 ENFPs is a handful. They really need an ISTJ to rein them in....
What kind of products were you selling, that you found it possible to have a passion for the job? Or did you enjoy the puzzle of making the sale? I don't think most INTPs would be very well suited to...
Sounds like you have a pretty great arrangement as truck drivers go! I've been driving farm trucks and equipment since I was a little kid, and have considered becoming an OTR truck driver, but I'm...
Hi everyone, For the last few years, I've been going through the crazy INTP waffling between occupational possibilities. I currently have an associate's degree in general science. My ISFP ex was not...
decent people skills to make up for the weakness of mine ambivert. a full-fledged extravert would be tiresome, too introverted and we'll never leave the house, which is a recipe for misery ...
There are some pretty hardened INFPs out there. Fi can turn you into a pretty hard-nosed person. In my experience INFPs are also more likely to get involved with, well, anything outside the personal...
I would be pretty happy if told I would die in a month. Then I wouldn't have to do any of the things in life that I hate anymore. I wouldn't have this gnawing feeling of needing to utilize my...
Male INTP: You scored 64.167 out of 100 masculine points, 42.982 out of 100 feminine points, and 55.833 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points. What happens if you score zero on all of them?...
When I started to take the test, I immediately realized that I was answering the questions based on how I considered myself to compare to other men. I may be off base here, but I imagine that women...
There's a common thread here - females of Thinking types tend to score higher than males of the same type. I think that is because people responding to the quiz, consciously or unconsciously, give...
Let the necromancy commence. Entrepreneurs in the US tend toward ESTP and ENTJ (so are a lot of CEOs). But those people tend to be willing to take more risk than the rather conservative average...
I love how you speak of 50% of the human race as a uniform class of people with the same exact desires. :sarcasm: Hint: the kind of women INTPs want aren't impressed by money or status!...
Naw, I knew the whole time that I wasn't in love with her. If anything, the pain had to do with having my shortcomings rubbed in my face, and the fact that it was my first relationship. She taught me...
I'm moving into Chicago (I live less than 100 miles away now). Mind you, almost every large city east of the Mississippi has more women than men. Especially New York City. New York City has a huge...
The whistling wind blows through the empty streets of ESFJ-town, which consists of winding, well-surfaced roads surrounded by neatly landscaped and beautiful vacant lots. The only buildings are eight...
I deeply second that. My experience with my ISFP ex testifies to the exact same thing. I think it might even be harder with an ISFP male if he is even more reluctant to share his emotions than ISFP...
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that you have to deal with such closed-minded and ignorant people, who know nothing about the diversity of human psychology and enjoyment! Pay them no heed! Don't be at ALL...
As an INTP, I was successful once. I was kind of bold at approaching her, asked her a lot of questions, she was attracted to my strong ideals, and I could hold interesting conversation! Things fell...
My best friend is an INTJ, his girlfriend (ENFP) and I also get along splendidly. My office-mate is a grumpy, lonely, depressed, pessimistic 65-year-old INTP, but we have fun. I have a friend who...
I know one thing, and that is, it is high time someone removed the (Interesting discussion) from the title of this thread.
I feel your pain, brother. I was in that place for many years; still kind of am, really. None of my GFs or other women I've had sex with were very interested in experimentation.
Am I wrong in suspecting that INTP women tend to be more sexually experienced (and probably have had better sex) than the guys? You know, with not having to make the first move, and all? My first...
I took an older version of that test and got you are very likely not an Aspie. I am certainly an INTP. I often have wondered if I have Asperger's, though.If I'm not really relaxed, I have a hard...
I had a 2.5 year relationship with an ISFP I appreciated in some major ways, but whom I couldn't really have many interesting conversations with. I was never close to being in love with her. One of...
There are quite a few people who would love you for that right off the bat, myself included!
(in no particular order) Game of Thrones The Wire Better Call Saul (after 3 episodes). Seriously, Bob Odenkirk is the shit Breaking Bad (I fast forward through the scenes with Skyler whining)...'
