'That, and also the fact that you can zoom in at will means that space is infinitely fine - but not infinitely large. (typing this, it occurs to me that this is a fine distinction with large...
I'm not sure the establishment of human rights developed quite the way you say. I would spontaneously put it the following way: At some point in time, some people demanded certain rights from the...
First of all, thanks simulatedworld for this excellent map through the Jung-le :wink: of typology. Suffice to say I like the model better now. I always liked focusing on motivations more than on...
Maybe typology is just the dream of some freakish Jungian monster, and in reality we're all acting exactly the same all of the time.
Addendum: That's of course not the only way to prompt deep processing or good retention of statements; another one is putting the statement into a context. Oh wait ... INTPs DO THAT TOO! Ahahaha!
Did you know that soft statements lke it is believed that ..., one might say ..., research indicates ... etc are remembered a lot better than absolute statements? That's because they...
... when you collect fun contradictions like others collect stamps. Things like Yea I have testosterone. I grew a breast hair yesterday. And I was so proud of it, I went and gave it a perm. Not...
Your mannerisms/demeanor are pretty much like I imagined them from your posts haha
Very nice. One major point that was making this discussion difficult was that Kate does or did a fair amount of stuff that looks like other functions, e.g. scheduling for the kids. Thinking about...
Not necessarily. As far as I can tell, the 4 functions that are not included in the definition of a type (for INFP those would be Fe, Ni, Se, Ti) might be anywhere strength-wise in an individual...
I realize I'm entering this discussion somewhat belated, but ... How was it for you when you were a child? As children, our emotions are as strong and clear as they get. How do you remember the...
Lol, reminds me of me ... I would say that I have that tendency, maybe sometimes in an F kind of way, but mostly in a T way, like with points of contention that arose in a discussion. ...
Bear in mind that you will have a fair amount of T in the mix, which other feelers may not have.
:) I would say you're nearest to INFP. But after you said that just didn't fit, I kinda stopped thinking it made any sense to pin you down onto a single type. That's why I told you about the...
Sympathy/Fe is broader and can apply more easily to more situations without directly feeling the emotions in question, but doesn't have the same degree of emotional depth as Fi.[/QUOTE] Sorry...
Makes sense. Just to clarify, I was definitely not saying that Fi users can't/don't want to empathize much, rather that not being able to help oneself from empathizing is something I would expect...
Hm, I would've thought this was more Fe, and that Fi users would be more likely to be able to distance themselves from a specific person (though it seems to me that INFPs are the masters of a kind of...
See, if you were an INTP, you probably wouldn't have typed that up, but rather a referral to an earlier post of yours. Maybe containing just the slightest hint of sarcasm. :wink: not quite serious
Ummm ... lol. If you want feedback, start your own thread titled If you can convince me that I'm not an ENFP, you're a genius.
Haha ... nice one. But I think the problem is rather that Kate is so in between types ... for every result, there seem to be things that are explained well by it and others that just don't fit,...
Yea - you fit the other textbook :)
Lol ... I'm kinda starting to wonder if the verbal play in my alias is apparent ... Diphenhydramine did a function sorter test
Did you see that Diphenhydramine guy? Te > Ni > Se > Fi > Ti > Ne > Si > Fe Looks textbook, just not the textbook you mentioned
Interesting comments about House. He may well be ENTP. Probly either that or XNTP, i.e. ambivert. And thanks for your response to my stuff. As far as the percentages thing goes, I couldn't be...
I bought a pair of shoes I liked that I came across more or less in passing-by, and which I knew I wouldn't wear for at least a year because my current ones are still in one piece (and why wear more...
I think I my understanding of how reverse psychology came into play in this situation may be different than yours, sumi ... it wasn't meant that the INTP consciously or even instinctively uses...
That's ... just beautiful. Never was there a more endearing reason for being pissed off ^.^
Yeah, but Bruce Lee is one of the most fun, because if he begs to differ, that might just be synonymous with he'll beat you to a pulp
Bruce Lee would beg to differ ;) But I get your point.
Radio is overrated.
This is great ... how often do INTPs usually get to try and bring two people together? :proud:
I would enjoy hearing what examples you have in mind when you say this, if you have the leisure. Not that I don't have any of my own in mind, or that you haven't already given some. I'm just curious.
The thing about INTPs losing interest quickly doesn't apply to someone they have formed a bond with, I would say. When it's a friendship bond also, but especially a romantic one. I think it's highly...
I dunno if this has been said yet, I only read until page 4. Interjection: I agree with ENTJwillruletheworld that this analysis is of limited use and there are a truckload of phenomena that cannot...
You forgot INFJ and ENFP. Thank you nonetheless :wink:
*hand-clapping* :happy:
Something being wrong with you isn't a prerequisite for self-pity ... something being wrong with your life does just fine. In any case, your statement was consistent with my statement, as your...
You may be an INTP if your self-pity doesn't last very long hehe
Hm ... I can get pretty enthusiastic about something (usually something new that I want to learn), but reality mostly curbs or downright squashes that enthusiasm. It's not always other people that...
Thanks hehe The X in House's XNTP has me a little stumped. You make a good point that he is ENTP, but his E/I preference must be weak either way. By which I don't mean to imply that your husband...
Interesting... so your Ti-Ne combo is almost as strong as your Ni-Te? Sounds like a cool place to be :cool:
You're right. The comparison was flawed, because if the MBTI were to claim scientific validity, it would be the existence of the functions that would be unproven, not the causal relationship between...
Are you sure? If you talk about Jungian functions (also unproven concepts, if I'm not mistaken), isn't that saying this person acts this and this way because he is using his cognitive functions in...
Although I've made my thoughts on this subject, I'll give a definition I heard from a neuroscience expert in the opening speech of a 2009 symposium on intelligence and creativity (that I have on...
Hmm, an attractive method ... I gotta try that - but first, I need a bigger floor. Love that expression.
... when you start listening to psych lectures while doing housework so as to stop hating those chores.
Oh yes, definitely need that clothes chair (or equivalent surface).
As others have also posted, it's not necessarily that INTPs don't have emotion, but that often it is very closely connected to thought, thus making it seem like there is no emotion. Maybe being...
A sense of tragedy befell me on reading that ... I guess INTPs would become like overly composed in that sort of situation as a survival mechanism, rather than cry their eyes out about it ... ...
Wow ... that gave me goosebumps! I can't verify the (actual) death, and spirituality, hm, I have thought about it and do have a potential projection surface for spirituality, but I haven't yet...'
