'Easier for whom? I've already stated that, for me, reading gender neutral language IS easier than mentally substituting the correct pronouns in every time I read something. I'd imagine it is for many...
Yeah, that's a scenario I'm pretty familiar with.
Most of the ones I found before were fairly small, and I can't seem to find them again this time. The one major one that peeves me off though is this one: An INTP Profile Especially since it's by...
You're going to make me regoogle, aren't you. :(
Okay this is mostly just a rant, but I am SO SICK of reading MBTI type descriptions, and seeing them assume that the INTP (or other T) they're describing is male. It especially pisses me off looking...
I find a friend or, preferably, an SO, and rant at them about it. Rant rant rant. Stupid people! So annoying. The world is terrible. etc. Sometimes I annoy or even scare people with my anger,...
It's true, my results were also very accurate. However, it hardly needs to be pointed out the techniques that can be employed to write something that seems specific, but actually rings true to a lot...
Man I am SO lazy, you don't even...
More of a cat person myself, though I do have a deep love for german shepherds. We had them when I was a kid, and I think they're just the best dog ever. Anything small and yappy I have a very low...
Oh god, this happens to me all the time. People think I'm disrespecting them, when as far as I'm concerned, I'm just being polite, if a little distant (usually out of respect!). It's so frustrating!...
I suspect it's precisely because INTJs are more ordered. As much as we INTPs value truth, I think an INTP is more likely to think yep, that sounds about right to me. I'll use that as my working...
I think most people see me as serious and intense, yes. Because this is the front I prefer to put up between myself and the ES-ness of the world. They want me to be super friendly bubbly social...
I prefer men I date to be quite sensitive, yes. I've dated guys who act like they don't give a crap. Turns out they... actually didn't give a crap. Surprise! I've only been with one guy who would cry...
It means we're intelligent... in the pants.
I'm not especially afraid of death. I used to be when I was a teenager, but that was mostly because I wasn't really enjoying life properly. I probably will be afraid of it again as I get older, but...
It's one of the many things I've thought about doing, in a maybe I should try that one day... kind of way. However, almost every guy I've been attracted to or dated has been into martial arts. I...
As an INTP with many F-like traits, I can relate. All I can say is... stop worrying. It's just a personality test. It's just one letter, really. And you're a whole person -- one category in a...
Oh wow, INTPs are allowed to be bit clingy? When I really really adore someone, I am like... YOU ARE SO AWESOME, be around me all the time, kay? :D (Except I also still need space, at the same time...
I'll generally use a meh when I actually do have quite a strong reaction or opinion on something, but I already know the other person isn't going to like it. Meh is easier than I believe you are...
Mantis, thanks for the link to that study, I could relate to almost all of it. It really doesn't surprise me that INTP women are so unliked. The qualities that I most prize in myself tend to be the...
You've all heard of nerd baiting, right? Congratulations, you've all been INTP baited. :P
The dust bunny on the previous page. :P Before that though, probably when the guy I'm seeing posted a link to a youtube vid on his facebook, that had a lego robot that turned into a bridge......
Haha, this is exactly my dating technique in a nutshell. >_<
I am a shameless flirt when I want to be.
Haha, no worries, the internet is an excellent place for venting. :)
Yeah. I don't stay indoors all the time because I'm shy or intellectually curious. It's because I'm so attractive that, were I to find myself in a location too overly populated, there'd be too many...
Pfft. I do this all the time. The SJ is the one telling me to stop wasting time and get on with the shopping. :P
Hahaha, that description of his activities made me laugh, because it's exactly how I spend almost all of my time. I know you're not asking for advice, but I'm going to offer some anyway. :P How...
It's true there are disadvantages, but actually? It's pretty awesome.
Any naturally occuring group (ie. the human race) will contain variation. Splitting that group into subgroups (ie. MBTI types) will still result in variation within those subgroups. I believe that...
As long as it's someone whose opinion I value, then I love it. Seriously, I could just swim in compliments all day. Screw modesty, I want to hear how wonderful I am. :P
Excelsio, that sounds like such a fun and interesting life. :proud:
It would depend entirely on the kind of work, for me. Something where you get to look at different things every day? Awesome. Mind numbing monotony like everything I've done in a lab, ever? No thanks.
I've known 3 other INTPs. Two of them are some of my favourite people to talk to and spend time with, I rather like them. The other one I get along fine with, in an impersonal way.
Oldest. I have one sister who is 6 years younger than me, so I was an only child for the first 6 years of my life. From what my sis and I can work out, we think she's an ENTJ. (I am rather proud that...
INFP, definitely. I had a lot of INFP traits as a kid that have been somewhat burned off by life. When I'm at my most vulnerable I turn into a confused INFP. I relate well to ENTPs in general,...
I've come to realise that I'll never be successful in jobs that require me to pretend to not be an INTP the whole time. Like when I was trying to do waitressing (hahahaha... *explosion*). So, I'm...
Yep, I think that's the case for most INTPs. Most of us aren't really the emotionless robots some of the less mature INTPs like to believe they are. No you. :P
...Or I could have just said that. XD
Certainly a lot of people think I'm smart, and in classes I have often been the one who knows all the answers without having to study. I'm not a genius. I wouldn't even say I'm intellectually...
Ignored, defriended, never speak to them again. Easy. Or, in the case of them being a close lifelong friend, exactly as above, but instead of Easy, read extremely painful, but done anyway.
Or, you know, they could say oh, what's that book about? What are you studying? and actually engage a fellow human being on an intellectual and personal level... Wait no that's crazy talk! Your one...
Just to clarify, I never said I changed everything about myself. But it's kind of hard not to be aware of whether a certain behaviour fits the type or not, and I think it's inevitable that that...
Just gone 3:22am and I'm still not in bed, despite not getting much sleep lately. I blame everyone on this forum for being too darn interesting for me to stop reading.
In my teens I had no sense of fashion at all, due to both confidence issues and my controlling mother being the one with the money. I just got boring mainstream stuff that was also comfortable....
INFPs are my favourite people to be friends with. I can connect to them on a deep level (or at least the illusion of depth) in a way I can't with other Thinkers. They're just so open and honest, they...
For the record, my comment about INTPs lacking tact was about me. It was my way of apologising for being so abrupt in my comment. That said, while I wish I had found a better way of phrasing it, I...
Guilty as charged. :dry: I only do it a little bit though. It's mostly because I can never really be satisfied that I've found the right type. The biggest conflict for me is whether I might...
I'm not confident enough to persue. I want the assurance of already knowing that they're interested before I make myself vulnerable.
I could care less seems to be a US thing. I usually encounter it online, from people I either know or have a pretty good idea are from the US. Here in Australia we say I couldn't care less, and...'
