Dear Extroverts, I'm sorry silence is awkward for you, but it is not an excuse to verbally rape my silent contemplation.
Thank you OrangeAppled, I agree good boundaries are very important. Unfortunately the nature of my work for the then next few years is such that it is not an issue of boundaries but rather it is the...
Hi, I'm wondering if any INFP cousins have undergone neurocognitive testing and what your experience might have been with it. It was recommended to me in order to be directed to training strategies...
anyone.......?
Iaokim care to offer any insight into the experience and possible benefits?
Have any INTPs here undergone neurocognitive testing? What did you gain from the experience? It has been suggested to me, for the purpose of finding strategies to improve my job performance based on...
Drinking alone (single malt scotch) --> how introverts celebrate match day: finding out where I will turn into a real doctor!!!!
I cried very easily as a kid, I hated it. I got picked on and would crie which only made me a more entertaining target and earned an additional tag as a cry baby. As an adult I most often cry when I...
Heh, sorry, I know what you mean. Ok, then what would you wish to talk in depth about with someone if the person existed who would be able, willing, and eager to engage you?
Hello INTJs What was the last really interesting conversation you had?
I have yet to write my personal statement for Psychiatry residency application. I asked a resident for tips today and he said to write something that stands out. Ok... that sounds obvious... but what...
I use sleep deprivation as a drug sometimes. A lot actually. Med school is day after day of 90% pointless crap that I have to go through to achieve my validated intellectual elite status and become a...
Nurses are, maybe more than any other humans, an alien species to me. The way they greet every person they see as if they are family, the way they feel you up every time they pass by (in a sort of...
Hello ENTJs, You guys are my heroes in a lot of circumstances. You cut to the chase and get things done and there just isn't any room or reason to question it. It seems almost like there is a...
I'm reading this as if, for example, there was a subgroup of INTPs who said that their INTP infallible logic led them to the conclusion that, say, people with a long 4th toe were less evolved humans...
= how I got into personality typing. Now have literally a small library on it and the person who inspired me has no idea what I'm talking about any more.
How to troll an INFP: Option 1: assert boundaries --> Watch head explode. Example: politely refuse to answer when they pry about something personal that is none of their business. INFP: Want to...
INTP and I wish I had more opportunity to travel. I spent 6 weeks backpacking in central America, it was one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've done. I loved experiencing the...
My ISTP roomie put the water dispenser in the fridge backwards... Really? ISTP? Maybe I'm rubbing off on her in bad ways =/
So much of my medical school education has been very non-ideal from an INTP perspective. I analyze the crap out of why it doesn't work well for me, what would work better, why I don't have time to do...
I put ISTP because that is what I have now and it's great. We have an IxTP understanding that works out very well but I like her sense of adventure, keeps me trying new experiences like pole dancing...
Kilgore Trout That is a great analysis of the issues of room mate compatibility in general. I used to be really bad about boundaries, but that is something I have learned to be assertive with for...
Ideal for me is no roomies, but given a med student budget you have to do what you have to do. I've had success this past round with an ISTP, it's the first time that having a female room mate...
What if it is growing because you forgot to use a sterile container? Seriously though, I'm cringing at that story because I could see that happening to me at one point. I thought science would...
Ths piqued my curiosity, I'd never heard of HSP before. I found that I tested to be an HSP, and I also found a list is famous HSPs which included Jung, Einstein, Darwin, and Eddision, whom are all...
As a med student, my biggest downfall at the moment is freehand progress notes (linear organization of thoughts and formatting) also... reasoning/debating/snarking out loud on the spot (much better...
The question is: why do you want to know if your partner is depressed? To fix it? To get him to talk about his feelings? I'm not saying you shouldn't care what he is feeling, but don't hang your own...

Thanks for the replies RE INTP writing styles. I'd kind of like to see samples if anyone cares to upload. Someone here mentioned a print/cursive hybrid, which was also mentioned in the linked...
I stumbled on this disparaging thread of comments regarding penmanship, I found it fascinating (in a train wreck kind of way) to see the SJ mob devour this topic and the critical moral importance...
Just noticed I'm at 299 so I am compelled to hit the big 300, but I feel a little lapse of intellectual integrity posting something utterly devoid of depth of meaning just to hit a number. Oh well.

I agree with everything in this thread. But I keep my packratting under control. My mother was a true hoarder and I get horrible nasty flashback feelings when things get too cluttered to the point...
I don't follow news/politics/economics/current events at all. But I love that my ENFP BF constantly gives me all the gossip about our (ok his; mine vicariously through him) social circles. I like...
I know my man is such an ENFP when he said I'm resentful that [our out of town friend] didn't have a magical experience. Cracked me up :laughing:
I get so frustrated and have a little breakdown/conniption fit when I can't understand something that everyone else just takes for granted. When my damn mind has to keep asking that sometimes dreaded...
Iamtp we live for derailing :cool: Glad I didn't post my typing of the final five =) I assumed everyone here who would be interested had watched it through As far as being INFP-like I don't...
I actually had an am I a cylon? moment a few days ago! It was immediately following a moment when I was sort of meta typing myself and thought some of my behaviors were kind of INFP. My mind went...
FWIW I do enjoy a sexy night out clubbing with the gals a few times a year, and toying with the dumb frat boys from time to time. It is a nice litmus test. If a man can actually get me intrigued...
Rain is one of the most beautiful things to me, along with the other elements and forces of nature. Here's something I wrote to a lover on a rainy evening: My face is all wet right now. My shirt...
I guess I should answer my own question too: I met my significant other when he presented a workshop I attended on certain Japanese historical/cultural practices I've been interested in. We...

Alright, so the perfect way to meet INTPs is to start a fight club inside the hadron collider. I like it.
Inspired by the where do you find INTP girls thread, and all the talk of what antisocial hermits INTPs can be, I got curious about how INTPs do connect with people. Whether it is your Significant...

My ENFP watches Good Day LA because it exemplifies all that is wrong with LA, and I have to watch it to learn about my environment. This tickled me and was so ENFP that I had to share it here.
My ENFP says he loves vegetables so much he can't bear to eat them (that is his excuse lol).
If your humor ends up frequently being interpreted as insulting to people you consider friends, and if you value their friendship more than your desire to be sarcastic, then from a practical...'
