'Someone called me trying to sell me Sirius XM. I told the salesperson I was into microtonal music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonal_music

I majored in math, and I find doing math problems very therapeutic. The only problem I have with math is that it is often taught in a Te way.

Wow! Thanks for the complement.

Truth exists but our subjective minds can only make incomplete representations of it. We may not be able to think true thoughts, but we can thing useful thoughts.

I have so many dreams where I am flying, but it is really more like levitation than flying.

My thoughts on travel? A lot of travel will add a few seconds to my life compared to a stationary observer.

Donald Trump is an ISTJ. Think he would make a good scientist? Stephen Hawking, you're fired! I don't want to discourage any ISTJs from science, though. ISTJs add a lot to any team with their...

I know you don't come as easy as some, but I will watch and pray. Kristene Mueller Sally's into knowledge, spent her years in college, just to find out nothing is true She can hardly speak...

I get along worst with ISTJs--that is why God keeps bringing them in my life. I'm married to one and work with two in a three person office. I get along best with *N*Ps.

When lovers have left me for others, I've more of a sense of betrayal rather than jealousy.

INTPs are naturally more skeptical than other types. I was sharing from experience. I'm sure we all have different levels of skepticism and different levels when we think others are being...

Yes. I experience the same. I operate as if I'm certain, but I'm always conscious of other possibilities. There are an infinite number of unlikely possibilities that could prevent a ball falling...

Or is the absence of doubt only available to those lacking in imagination?

I have four tabs open. I would keep many more open but my browser doesn't handle scripts going crazy well.

I'm hurt if my reputation is damaged.

I believe in the Resurrection of Jesus, so I'm resurrecting this thread. INTP, Christian.

Even religious INTP's aren't going to find anyone who has the same religion. We kind of form our own religious views that come into conflict with whatever group of believers we hang out with.

Someone has to reinvent the wheel, otherwise we'd still be driving Flinstone cars.

1w9 4w5 6w5 It is kind of how I perceive myself.

Sorry about hijacking this thread with a bunch of mystic talk. Please tell me if you care!

Yes. I believe both the bad and good done to us will be turned to good in the end. Love embraces both the bad and good in people. Being somewhat a mystic, I briefly experienced almost a complete...

Yes. I do love those close to me more, but it extends to everyone. We fear all kinds of things from others. We fear they will manipulate us, exploit us, physically hurt us, demand to much of us,...

I think we fear each other intensely, and we love each other intensely. The brain processes this fear and love together and produces apathy. I had an experience where much of my fear of others...

Water.

I care a lot about myself, and I am learning to care about other people. Each of us has strengths that can help another.

Smart people have the best reasons for doing the wrong things. I thanked someone today. No

Borg implants?

I killed a spider accidentally once. It troubled me. My wife doesn't like spiders and asks me to kill them for her. I take them outside.

When I was young, I tended to analyze myself so I could give an honest answer to How is it going? Now, I shock people by choosing the most honest words rather than the most careful words. I do...

I thought these up, though it is likely others have said similar somewhere. There are three kinds of people in this world: those that can count, and those that can't. Smart people have the best...

Either+1 INTJ+1 INTP Emotions are felt through Fi, but expressed through Fe. INTPs express emotions better than INTJs.either+1 INTJ. INTPs are slackers.+1 INTJs. INTPs are less savvy than INTJs at...

INTPs may appear mature at a young age because INTPs are usually well behaved, preferring books to mischief. Beyond that, I think INTPs have good potential to develop maturity. Ti/Ne is a pretty...

I think scientific empiricism (hypothesis, experimental design, peer review, etc.) seems a bit stifling for many INTPs. It has a very strict epistemology. Scientific empiricism is a tool for...

INTPs can be very inventive at cooking. I love experimenting. I watch a lot of cooking videos on YouTube. Then I improvise. One video taught me to make kenkey, a West African dumpling made from...

It seems like work or homework requires Te and Si. Let the ISTJs do it. Why can't I just get a job pontificating with my Ti and Ne? It seems like the Ancient Greeks (Socrates) just sat around and...

Religious person, here too. Empiricism is useful for a lot of things. It helps us build microwave ovens and take trips to the moon. It doesn't explain God. He reveals what he wants and hides what...

There may be no free will, but it is much more productive to convince yourself otherwise.

You think driving would benefit more from Se or Si? Or would either work? Perhaps developing Si would help? I've heard a theory that it is the 7th function of any personality type that is the...

I'm not certain that there really is such a thing as an INTP. The model doesn't fit some people. Still, I think most here tend to think complex thoughts and use extroverted intuition to connect to...

I'm listening to Silver Bells. My wife turned Christmas music on.

As an INTP, I feel like there is a real otherness about INTJs. Both types are intelligent, but in a completely opposite way. In my 20's going to grad school, I found it really difficult to...

Thanks for the video, INTonyP! As an INTP, my best friend is an ESFJ. I'm developing my Fe and he's been a real help. Though INTP's and ESFJ's seem like complete opposites, we aren't. The first...

Besides eating right, I think a consistent exercise program can do incredible things for us, perhaps more than any other type. For about five years, I lifted weights four times a week (alternating...

I enjoy cooking and eating very much. I love to watch YouTube videos of people making different types of food from all over the world and recreating them myself. I have really learned to love West...

Te (Extroverted Thinking) (25%) your valuation of / adherence to logic of external systems / hierarchies / methods Ti (Introverted Thinking) (90%) your valuation of / adherence to your own...

I would definitely want my Extroverted Sensing to be a bit stronger. I would be a better driver and better at sports.

Thinkers can study body language to become more aware of other's emotional state rather than feeling the mood in the room. Most of the time it is best to use what little you have honestly, the best...

In the beginning there was nothing. Then the Lord said, 'Let there be light!' There still was nothing, but you could see it.

I've often fantasized what the world would be like if I were an average person. I think such a society would be very technologically advanced. There would be a great variety of music and art--maybe...

I reject authority because I don't understand what others see in it. Right now I'm leading a team of people and I'm really uncomfortable with it.'
