'So I've become friendly with an INTP female who's currently in a relationship. We've hung out platonically multiple times, and I get the feeling that she likes me. I also like her, but I'm not sure...

The fact that it is, in fact, me.
This is exactly what I mean! My dad is the same exact way! It's so strange to see some INTJ's who are like this, and others who feel no need to externalize their thoughts - although shouldn't a...
I'm in med school, and I got one of my professors into MBTI. He had our entire class take the test and share their results. Also, my dad and brother are both INTJ.
I've noticed that there are a certain subset of INTJ's who will talk your ear off about a topic that involves themselves or something they're interested in, and will have almost ZERO regard for...
I'm almost exactly inverse to this, and I'm a strong INTP (80%+ in all categories). Never received below a C until High School. I'm in medical school now, and have a C average. I'm also completely...
Sure it is. I just thought it was interesting that he was making an observation back then that's related to the dissonance between different personality types.
I guess I have yet to absorb the prevailing standards of political correctness on the forum. Edit: updated OP so as to not offend specific temperaments. I was using a metaphor. For...
And that's exactly what some libertarians have resorted to. Paypal Founder funds Libertarian Sea Colony
It is indeed my choice to live in this geographical area. It is not my choice to grant other individuals ownership over my life as a condition of living in this geographical area.
Talk about ahead of his time.. I've always liked this quote from Einstein, but now having learned a little about these temperaments, I now know why this quote struck me: Great spirits have always...
Actual quote: Hey, did you know Dave started that company? You wouldn't think it, huh?
Difference: My army would have to be built without being granted the ability to extract resources from every single individual, without their consent, in a given geographical area (state). ...
I don't know anyone who would claim that all people are equal in their talents. Is your reasoning: no individual is equal, and therefore some individuals should be granted the right to own the...
So the solution is to advocate the creation of a group of individuals whose sole purpose is to rule? Q: Is it better if the dorm owner has an army, nuclear weapons, and were granted the right...
One of my favorite youtube videos of all time. Things become incredibly clear when you start calling things what they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUS1m5MSt9k
Beautifully put. I'd love to see an attempt to refute the accuracy of this analogy.
I agree, it is a matter of power. So your proposal to is to arbitrarily create an institution whose entire existence relies on its inherent power over individuals? If the group of individuals...
Uhm, yes, if you are being coercively forced to be a part of it. And if you claim something benefits more than it harms, do you believe that justifies theft? If a system provides sufficient...
Please see my sweeper example. It doesn't matter how much benefit is being provided. The principle is the same. If I believe I received adequate benefit from the services rendered, then I would...
I define society as exactly what it is: A collection of individuals. A society is not a sentient entity, but a collection of sentient entities. When you start to call things what they are, the...
Which practical results can be achieved if there are no underlying ideals motivating the change? Do the two not go hand-in-hand?
There you go, putting merit on status, in true INTJ form. That's one major difference between INTJ's and INTP's. INTP's will tend to give all arguments the same degree of consideration regardless...
Anarchism is the conclusion. It is drawn logically by accepting one condition - self-ownership. A conditional proof can be made, given this definition of self-ownership: A condition where every...
I have read your criticisms and will address them by pointing out the major mischaracterizations you have made. *I am not claiming that universal morality exists*. Thus, I am not claiming that...
Well unlike small-government libertarians, I take libertarianism to its logical endpoint, which is anarcho-capitalism. A little bit of theft and coercion is still theft an coercion - and a rejection...
What you're describing is the equivalent of the following scenario. Tell me if you would agree with this scenario: Every day, without you asking, I walk in front of you and sweep the ground you...
That's the equivalent of saying that since a prisoner is forced to eat prison food, then he is complicit in his enslavement. Try to boil things down to the principles at work. Things become much...
I think there is likely a strong correlation between how NT someone is and how likely they are to be atheist / agnostic. I also think that agnostic is an often misused term, as I know many...
Or not assigned at all. To your life doesn't have a definition pseudo-argument, I assumed it was understood that we are discussing the physical realm. The nature of existence is not pertinent...
Well then, how do you define theft? Is this fair? Theft - To take someone's property without their consent.
There is nothing inherently 'wrong' with that. However if people saw it for what it is (an endorsement of institutionalized theft, force, and coercion), then they would reject it. The great...
You are right, and wrong. You are wrong to assert that an ideology claims to be right or true. You are right to assert that opinions are subjective. On the surface, they are subjective. ...
In a truly free society, what is stopping individuals from forming enclaves in which they govern themselves however they so choose? This is the only system under which you are NOT forced to...
I believe we have confusion over the right to property. Do you own yourself? If you believe so, the rest follows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHg86Mys7I
Please show me where I committed this fallacy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that I have done nothing but make an argument from principle - not trying to justify a theory based upon the...
That's exactly the same as saying a robbery at gunpoint is a is a voluntary transaction, because you could still choose not to hand over your wallet. Something is not voluntary if in order to...
Yes, you must first accept that man has the right to own the product of his work (given that it was acquired free of force or coercion) - whether that be voluntarily inhabiting an area of land /...
You commit a common non-sequitor, in equating the necessity of society to the necessity of a state / government. Before the slaves were freed, one might ask who will pick the cotton? At the...
makes me feel like going to the movies!
I don't belong here.
Boring? They have a damn E, and they think! ENTJ's are the most interesting people I know!
My experience with them has always been that they are warm individuals
ESFP's can love a decorated rock. so yes.
Nice avatar.. INTP Ron Paul supporter here. No, this is natural, because it's true! Well, not to the alex jones degree.. but to some degree. Globalists exist, and they are trying to create a...
Personhood is an illusion
An INFJ made me cry about 4 years ago. Before that, I can't remember. Since then, I've only cried with joy a few times.
Surprisingly, weezer.. not sure what it is about the hopeless romantic emo-ish lyrics.. I find that nothing very profound can be conveyed via song, so I mostly listen with a musical ear rather...
