Innovative inventors with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge

'I'm religious; but I think there are pretty high levels of evidence. If I believe that any sort of knowledge is possible, I have to believe in a God. Also, the very existence of the universe is good...

Jeffrey Dahmer was an INFP. That's something to work with I think.

Like I said, he's very declaratory. He's an active conqueror, definitely an ENFJ type. Consider some famous ENFP types, like Stephen Colbert or Robin Williams -- dominant Ne leads to opening up...

ENFJ all the way. He self identifies as an extrovert (he said As an introvert myself -- oh, who am I kidding?), and besides, he's one of these guys who tries to get his fingers into everything....

I don't use pickup lines. I debate people on the merits of dating me.

ArBell It also would depend on how tired I was. Like, if I was about to fall asleep, I might not be physically capable of talking at the moment. But if I'm just mentally tired, then yeah, hit me...

I'm not super high on the introverted side, so my answer may not sound as much like an INTP, but... if I've had a tired day from work, a good debate/conversation would make me feel better and...

I just finished The Stand by Stephen King, and was really impressed with several of the characters. High on my list of favorites, of course, was Mother Abigail. After reading a little bit about...

Anyone read his memoir, On Writing? His style is quite Ne. He says that he likes to write by letting the characters push the story along for him, not by planning ahead himself. He comes up with a...

There's this thing about Voldemort and Palpatine being INTJ, because they're both masterminds who take control of the world. The thing is, both are actually NFJ, Palpatine being INFJ and Voldemort...

People keep talking about being indecisive, but for me being decisive is actually a greater problem. I always want to have that moment where everything falls into place, so when I see my type profile...

253322 There, I changed it.

The death poetry, mostly. You're partly right: I'm coming to think that they aren't ISFPs, but I don't think they're ESTJs either. Maybe ISTJ? That would explain the Fi. I'm coming to think the...

Heathcliff is an INJ, most likely INTJ. Definitely not a dominate feeler. What about this:252898

Yeah... if you could find a better one I'll put him/her on it. Malfoy is kind of lame as far as villains go.

Vogon, the Bureaucrat from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You can take pleasure in my difficulty in finding a good ISFP villain for that chart. Vogon was the best I could find; definitely not...

How's this: 252178

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICg4CMd2jU I think this man really shows how to live the ENFP life, that is, a life of wonder and discovery.

What do you do when the problems of the world (war, disease, anything that you care about) become too much of a burden? There's an INFP that I know who I've seen say that she couldn't take it any...

What stereotypes do you hate most about your type? Which ones are true? Do you cringe when people describe your type?

The whole thing about INTJs being cold logicians... we're more like clever wizards than cold logicians. I think that stereotype belongs more to the INTP, but even then not much. Also that all...

^^^ You must be a writer with a post like that... :kitteh: So yeah, this is definitely an answer to my questions. It's really interesting to get a look inside someone else's mind every once...

Sorry about that... I suppose I should shut up every once in a while and let someone else explain their perspective. I feel that I learn best, though, by debating, so don't think that I'm trying to...

I know lots of healthy INFPs. In fact, most of the INFPs I know are healthy.

Actually, I know many introverts that are way louder than many other Extroverts. I/E isn't about loudness. It's about orientation. There's an ISFJ I know, for instance, who has an extremely loud Fe....

He led the video with that statement to show the stereotype associated with ISTJs. After explaining how the stereotype was wrong, he went on to show a nature similar to your own descriptions.

You shouldn't ascribe all members of that type an unhealthy trait, but it's fine to say Type X can sometimes be extremely X because of X. For instance, I've heard type descriptions say that INTJs...

But don't you think it would be different for different health levels of ISTJs? I ask because I know several ISTJs personally, and most of them are they way you describe, but some do have a tendency...

I know; I was agreeing with you. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It's interesting that you say that, because I don't think that T/F is necessarily about Logic vs. Emotion. This video sums it up pretty well: ...

The interesting thing is that Myers-Briggs measures information processing, and Enneagram measures inner motivations, so when you put them together, you get a large part of what a person is: the...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_SB6AbFyb4 Do you think that this video describes well (at least for your type) the Si function?

When I first got into Myers-Briggs, I expected each type to have an aura, like I'd immediately know if I met someone else of my type. Obviously, I was wrong. Goodness, just the math proves me wrong....

Depends. I try to reevaluate everything when that happens.

What is your relationship to rational thought/logic? What do you do to make decisions that require it?

It's easy to think of dominant Fi types to be all good, but they can be just as evil as others. A thinker villain is easy to write: they'll have no care for other people, but be very skilled at...

*Spoilers Alert!* Jules is an ENFJ. He doesn't just kill people. He does it with style. He quotes Ezekiel while firing. This, I believe, is his way of using Fe. Also notice how in...

Yeah... I'd like to hear about Si from the point of view of someone who actually uses it. It seems to be one of the more debated and less understood functions.

I really liked this article. Does it describe Si pretty well? Introverted Sensing / Sensation (Si)

As several people have said on this thread, there is a tendency in MBTI descriptions to label intuition as being creative, and hence sensing as uncreative. I was curious as to the validity of this...

So that's why I asked of those who might identify as non-creative if they were satisfied with their lack of creativity. I agree that being uncreative may seem lesser, but hey, who knows? I wanted to...

I was talking about just the essence of what I've picked up on in relation to S types. The reason I didn't phrase it the way you suggest (in bold) is because I wasn't sure that creativity was...

I got it mainly from type descriptions. There seems to be an air of describing intuition as creative. Also, I was specifically thinking about Si as a function more so than Se. Si tends to be...

That's what I'm saying.

Sigh... I'm just trying to find answers. I can love sensors better if I know them better. So I ask them questions.

emberfly You create a pattern by collecting and arranging pre-made details. The most basic example would be finding a pile of sticks and laying them on the ground to form a picture. You didn't...

See, just because it doesn't come from one's cognitive process doesn't mean it has little to do with it. You don't think that someone's creative process is flavored by their personality type? I mean,...

Well, you created patterns in you head, so yes. But if you mean that pattern based thinking isn't necessarily creative, then I agree. An intuitive can spend their time focusing on patterns that have...

I like it. Now that's interesting. Intelligence to me seems to come from creativity, not vice versa. But I can see it both ways.

I'm asking whether your creativity goes against your sensing nature, or with it. So would you say, I'm creative even though I'm a sensor or I'm creative because I'm a sensor?'
