'Just a few behaviors associated with the 3 ISTPs I know. You know you're an ISTP... ...when you never run out of quick, witty comebacks. Attempts to one-up an ISTP usually end in tragedy. ...
...you find yourself making excuses for your friends. It doesn't occur to you that you're doing it until someone points it out. The only time you get offended is when I insult someone you care...
Of course not, and that's my point exactly.:proud: Modifying your behavior *doesn't* impact your type, which a lot of people who are new to the theory are slow to grasp. An outgoing INTP bears strong...
When you rarely write anything by hand because it would require too much scratching out.
You impulsively change the song you're listening to every time you remember something stupid you did a while ago. If you're like me, you realize it was a good song and hit the back button. This...
This. I'm so glad someone finally said it. I have a friend who liked Taylor Swift until she became famous. After that, she wanted nothing to do with her. It's not like there's less to go around...
That's when you BITCH SLAP THEM-- Oh, wait... you can't. Foiled again by Fe. ¬_¬ Oh, we don't care. That's what this thread is for.
Omg, yes. The only time I leave a door open is when I know I'm about to turn around and walk right back through it. ¬_¬ In that case, DON'T slam it right behind me. I was ranting about being...
Plus, most of them don't express the need to be smothered, snuggled, and pampered around the clock. If that's mean, I'm a total bitch. Thank you. How about people who quote a post just...
Came up with 2 more: We don't just blow bubbles... we blow bubbles with kittens in them. Seriously... what the hell? The fact that those talking Golden Retriever movies are still being made...
In some instances, but it frustrates me when people can't interpret or communicate sarcasm without an OH, TOTALLY, in there somewhere.
Exaggerated sarcasm. It's not funny that way.
When you snatch sharp or potentially dangerous objects (to include sticks) away from your N friends so they don't hurt themselves. My S friend doesn't let me climb ladders, either. It's probably...
There's a difference between, I behave more sociably around people, and I am an INTx. I go back and forth. Wrong on so many levels. Simply put, it means, Putting on a duck costume makes me a...
Ditto. The line between E and I is blurrier than the others, but ENTPs and INTPs are worlds apart. While we're on the subject, isn't it about time someone on PerC did something to kill the myth of...
I speak like an Extravert. My words all run together. Erudis perhaps we're more in touch with our Ne than some INTPs? Either that, or our Ti was injured in a horrible accident. :( People have told me...
Thanks so much! I feel like my posts around PerC lately have been ignored, but maybe that's because I had my type set to Unknown? Anyway, it's nice to know my contributions mean something. (: ...
...when D.O.L. was the best part of English class, because you got to make the final correction that was considered a challenge. ...when you sometimes over-think grammar and psych yourself out....
When you consider all but a handful of people acquaintances. Becoming your friend is like climbing a ladder. In order to reach the super-ultimate chocolate-covered bonus level known as Friendship a...
Teach me the rules of proper grammar. NO. You might as well be asking me to teach you to walk. It's second nature. I don't know the rules because the rules complicate it. The only way you're...
You know what I hate? When your mounting urge to bitch-slap someone is suppressed by Fe. I know so many people who deserve to be hit, but my Fe just won't allow it. It's like, No! :( Violence is not...
Agreed. INTPs are infamous for it. Of course, this is not a rule. kiwigrl Just curious, does your husband ever deliberately use incorrect grammar? The ISFJs I know really like to do that. One of...
I don't think we're on the same page. I'm not comparing the effectiveness of editing a sentence to a larger body of text. Any revision, no matter how big or small, can do wonders for the overall...
I need to borrow your computer for a month or so.
As long as I'm not being told how to fix something, I don't start foaming out the mouth. Lol. Though, I would much prefer, the entire document needs more x and less y because z to something like,...
Oh, of course not. Power-playing? Never. Sticking to your own character is the the point of role-play. I hope that's not what you thought I meant. I was talking about those posts that throw you for a...
Thank you. I struggled in upper-level English classes because the teachers were obsessed with this. The useful things, like the mechanics of the language, and the ability to communicate ideas so...
ISFPs fascinate me because of their unique dialect. I imagine people of the same type have a similar interaction style, to some extent, but ISFPs stand out like they're highlighted. They speak in...
Oh, my bad! I thought it seemed INTJ-ish because of Ni and vision, but I guess not. Sorry! This works better when I talk to the INTJs I know before I post. Next time, I'll get it right. I need to...
A lot of Extraverts I know follow this trend, but it doesn't get under my skin until Introverts do it. I grew up next door to an ESFP (not an obnoxious one, like Monkey Fritz is describing) and while...
Oh, and I think writers [as in people trying to publish a book or something] here will appreciate this: You know you're an N when you have to talk yourself out of smashing a lamp when your editor...
I said this somewhere on the INTP thread. My ENTP friend also does it, so maybe it's an NT thing. :D You know you're an INTJ... ...when, as a child, you refused to play pretend games with the...
You know you're an N when you get out the ingredients to make a bowl of cereal and the milk finds its way into the toaster beside to the bowl. This kid is going away to college in a few hours. ...
...you want to pin a huge agenda to your wall. That way you can walk into it (: and be all, OYEAH.
Sorry to kill the tangent, but I have a few. :D You know you're an INTJ... x85when you receive a Hallmark card for a special occasion and say in return, x93Thank you for plagiarizing someone elsex92s...
That's ironic; my mom just finished ranting about the same thing. My stepdad asked her where the toilet paper was, and she gave him a bunch of bullshit answers, like, Check the trunk of the car, or...
Quoted from my INTJ mother: I hate being asked 'are you sure?' after agreeing to something. What the hell do I say to that? 'No, I was just psyching you out'? It's like I'm being tested. My...

When people start using the word today starting at 12:01 A.M. (or any time before ~5) especially when they correct you as soon as you say tomorrow. That is a sure-fire way to get SMACKED. ...
You know you're an INTP when you can look at a piece of fine artwork and say, HM... the shading is not congruent with the light source. ¬_¬ Amateur mistake. Yet, here you are, drawing a picture of...
I thought about making this post a while ago: You know you're an INTP when even your dreams make sense in their own way... or at least, you're the only character in them who is bothered by the...
