MBTI

Logician

Analysts INTP

Innovative inventors with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge

'Nice and clear, but a bit too dramatic, though the second one was better. There are a couple of points where with the inflections on the rhyme it sounded like you were rapping, which sounded odd.

I can't quite explain way, but I've always thought of him as an ENTP.

'Normal' is relative.

Learning a language can take years, let alone two languages, and learning code is time consuming as well. There was never a possibility of becoming proficient at these in 6 weeks' time. At best you...

Irony.

No, unless I had the choice of dying if I wished. I think being unable to die is scarier than death.

I assume said family member listens to classical music themselves.

I only know English but I'm learning French on my own. I want to get lessons eventually to practice speaking/listening. I can read it okayish but they speak it so fast.

Her reaction may be unreasonable, but isn't it also unreasonable to keep talking about your theories/ideas when you know she doesn't like it?

i read it last year and loved it. I would type him as INFJ as well. Murakami isn't afraid to look at the dark sides of sexuality.

Why not create your own religion?

Was Norwegian Wood good? I'm not sure which book of his to read next.

Wow, that's a coincidence (from my point of view): I'm on page 507. Have you read a lot of Murakami?

Blue is the Warmest Colour. Brilliant.

I'd report the post if I were you.

Zun is one of my favourites and not much appreciated outside of Japan, I find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPRtnFwouzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkUOMWuENwE

Jung's work is very good, and MBTI is an interesting way of thinking about people, but one man studying individuals and noting patterns is not proof of a fact. Nor is it a fact because your...

Again, my A B personalities were just an example. My point is that MBTI is not fact, but a way of interpreting people, like Enneagram of the BIg Five. Jung wasn't an omniscient God, as some here seem...

You misunderstand me. I only used social activity to keep the argument simple. If I took the whole context of a type, I would have to say 'like this' - referring to any type descriptions. Your...

People being different is a fact, but MBTI, a method of explaining these differences, is theory. Your examples are incredibly circular. Yes, those typed as ESFJs are probably going to have more...

Factual how?

I think about what may lead someone to being 'evil': their situation, experience, etc. I find Erik from Phantom of the Opera is a great example (in the book anyway; I've never watched the plays/...

The Castle, Kafka The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle And I've just bought Night's Master by Tanith Lee

No, no they weren't.

No, it actually becomes quite easy to predict who will die, but I'd recommend it regardless.

You need to find new friends. Not all guys are idiots who can't think beyond sex and booze.

Yes, I should have done a large scale government funded study into it before consulting a forum. My apologies.

Insofar as I'm aware the origins of the Enneagram are obscure. But, if I take that for truth, then both the Enneagram and your alternative are ridiculous. Still, I find it very hard to believe that...

The symbol comes from the theory, not vice-versa. It's a ridiculous idea to change the theory to make a nicer looking symbol.

This is why we should not take MBTI or Jung's theories as fact; rather we should acknowledge their potential to help us understand individual differences and behaviour.

So you started this thread to survive?

You missed a 0 off that percentage.

I wouldn't separate ways of thinking so rigidly. Can there not be a logic to art. or an art to logic?

I don't think one should assume he uses Se just because he's observant. He sees collecting evidence and being able to read people as essential to being a good detective, and he has trained himself to...

Eh, it wasn't too bad for me. I find most here to be nice, mature people. And the ice breaker sessions are non-compulsory (at least they were here).

Cold reading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not gay, but Edmond Dantes and Dupin. As for females, Hermione Granger.

In the Freudian sense it means the sense of self, kind of (ich, I), but nowadays people (mostly Americans I think) use it to denote one's self-worth.

Some writers I've been studying at university are incredibly hard to read and understand: Derrida, Lacan, Bhabha are among the most notable examples. Bhabha won the Bad Writing Contest for this...

As most will tell you, tests are only an indication at best of your type. You shouldn't let the test define who you are. It doesn't tell you who you are, rather you tell it (along with the problems...

Why would eye colour have any correlation to personality?

For true literary masochists, try reading Lacan. Here's a paragraph from The Instance of the Letter: Let us note then that aphasias, although caused by purely anatomical lesions in the cerebral...

Neither. Nothing is inherently good or bad because these are concepts created by us.

I'm at university and we can't cite the internet at all. I still use Wikipedia as a source of information, though.

You can't prove a negative. It's up to the person who made the assertion to provide the proof.

I prefer the term unreligious.

Why the aggressiveness? It's completely unnecessary. If you put forth your argument in a calm and composed way, people are much more liable to listen.

I always thought of introverted judging functions as being subjective(Ti and Fi) and extroverted ones being objective (Fe and Te).

I listen to a lot of Touhou and Final Fantasy music, and various remixes and arrangements thereof. Both ZUN and Uematsu are incredible composers.

Use of capital letters after colons. Why?'
