'Actually, I was referring to these posts:

Hey, hey, hey guys. Insults are not necessary. In fact, resorting to ad hominem shows that you have no good argument left. Being religious and being stupid are not the same. You've seen people...

But you have that power. It's called not responding to the thread.

LookingGlass, I found sources supporting both my claim, (that cannon was mostly settled in 170 AD) and your claim, but I cannot verify which is actually correct. So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to...

I'd want to be an illusionist. Anything I could imagine I could make real. Communication would be soooo much easier. And the power of flight. I would love to be able to fly.

I love fiction and fantasy of all types, but then I also read a lot of non-fiction. To be honest, I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on, and I devour books in hours that would take...

Relativists make you giggle. Unless you're trying to debate one, in which case they frustrate you. I tried to have a debate with a relativist once. After providing one logical argument to him...

You know your an INTP when: (True story) So, my boyfriend is an ENFJ. This means that his behavior, moods, and general thought processes make very little sense to me. So I asked him if he would...

As nitou pointed out, everyone can use any function. Being a T doesn't mean that you never use emotions and subjectivity, it just mean that your preference is for logic and objectivity. Also, the...

Oh, one last post! Many people often misunderstand the statement that the Church is supposed to be the example of God's love to the world. It's not that the Church will always act with God's...

Please delete (double post)

Fortunately, we're mostly INTPs here, so offense is difficult to achieve with out being outright insulting. I'm just doing some research, since my information says one thing and your information says...

Unfortunately, since I've never heard of it, with out context or source, I can't really comment. You're getting hung up on semantics again. By rational, we mean logical. By Thoughts, we mean...

A moment of levity if you will allow: I think this conclusively proves the existence of God. :laughing:

None the additions you mentioned actually contradict or even really add to what the other gospels said. The Gnostic book didn't appear until gnosticism was on the rise, years after their supposed...

Given my point about the Muratorian Cannon, your statement is what looks ridiculous. Because I have just shown the existence of the cannon in 170 AD, when there WAS NO POLITICAL GAIN to be had from...

The first x93canonx94 was the Muratorian Canon, which was compiled in A.D. 170. The Muratorian Canon included all of the New Testament books except Hebrews, James, and 3 John. The old testament was...

Actually the books we have as cannon now were decided and agreed upon in 170 AD, when there was no power to be had in being a church leader, as church leaders routinely got their heads cut off. (Or...

In general, the entire field of Psychology is subjective. It has to be. Expecting it to be what it is not is really unfair and demonstrates a general lack of understanding of the subject.

It is measured through the questions that are asked, and is a sliding scale of how one perceives one's own behavior. I am an introvert. This does not make me incapable of showing extroverted...

It's quite simple actually. Personality is all about how we relate to the world, so one of the dichotomies would have to involve how we relate to other people. That is E-I. Energy is not the...

So, what do you do (For work/in your spare time)? Oh really? I don't know much about that. Could you explain it to me? Then appropriate questions along the way for clarification. That or find an...

People have mistaken you for a Vulcan. Someone describes a typical emotional reaction to you and you respond with, But that's irrational. You take forever to make up your mind, but once you do,...

Steer the conversation to something that you're knowledgeable about. Blabbing about your pet topic is a good way to get yourself talking and engaged with other people, and lets them into your world...

I think depression brings out the worst in everyone. Depression is often described as anger turned inward. It's not surprising that it would manifest in outward displays of anger, as well. I...

I also find that men hate it when I beat them at anything: games, debates, etc. Basically, and I'm not trying to be arrogant, I'm smarter than most men I meet, and they hate that. And they won't...

All personality type business aside, his behavior is destructive and dangerous. By not listening to your concerns, he's showing that he really doesn't care about you. I don't think it's his...

My boyfriend has gotten himself into one of those I'm a terrible person who screws up everything and is incredibly stupid mood. He's been in it since yesterday because he made a mistake (he said...

I'm an INTP female! I'm real! My first boyfriend I met in choir practice. He was very emotional, to the point of ridiculous sensitivity. My second boyfriend, who became my husband, and...

In general, I think the women have it harder, because we, like all INTPs, approach things logically and almost clinically. Guys are not expected to understand their partners feelings. It's the...

Ah, but I am a very strong T and a weak P. And I <3 cuddles.

So, 1/3 against PDA, 2/3 for. Based on this (very small and not very random) sample, it would appear that being an INTP and disliking PDA has no correlation.

Taken from Just Your Type: Create the relationship you've always wanted using the secrets of personality type by Tieger & Tieger: INTPs and ENFJs share only one of the four type preferences...

So either you lack objectivity (and thus agree with me because I'm right) or you lack objectivity, and thus agree with me because... of some other reason than me being right, but it would make me...

See, I also never fit in and had a lot of trouble making friends. I was the class reject until high school when I started homeschooling. But I always thought it was their loss, not mine. Because...

When you can't take your professors seriously because you're smarter than they are.

I may have had an emotional outburst from the stress of dealing with his moods, but you can't prove that! Seriously, though, the sight of me freaking out snapped him out of it. Those mood swings...

I'm a PC user, because I like the compatibility, availability, and adaptability. I'm also a bit of a gamer. If I wanted to do graphics I'd go Mac. If I wanted to program I'd go Linux. I have...

We're brilliant. Also, not very social. This is probably why our forum is more active than others, because while they're out having social lives, we're getting mental stimulation without having the...

Then the INTP should have apologized, and the ESFJ shouldn't have taken it so personally. But that whole rules thing is still weird.

There is such a thing as a truly objective view. Just not with emotions. A fact is a fact is a fact. No matter how you feel about the fact, it is a fact. Black is always black and never white...

When someone compliments you, and instead of saying thank you, you say, I know.

Do you also get shushed a lot because you're getting too loud? I get shushed a lot.

Oh! Moody. Definitely moody. To the point that it changes everything. Like with my ENFJ boyfriend. First he's all like, I want to get married! Then he's like, We should date around. Then,...

Yes, we are adorable, aren't we? :proud: But seriously, when we take over the world, who do you think will be our front men? We aren't nearly charismatic enough for that. No, we'll keep your type...

I've run into an ENTP child, and he was absolutely adorable. Everyday, he'd run up to me and yell, Guess what I learned today, Ms [Roa]! At one point, he had to put away something he was working...

My wardrobe consists entirely of clothes I have inherited from my ESFJ sister. Every so often, she just cleans out her closet, and she sends me anything she hasn't worn in a year or more. I donate...

#1: Attempt to politely excuse myself. #2: Depends; if it's really important to them, I'll try my best to pay attention. If not, I'll just change the subject. #3: Read a magazine or book. #4:...

I'm almost neutral on the J/P scale, so I pick up some of the INTJ traits that are related to that particular dynamic. For example, once I come to a conclusion, I am confident enough in my own...

I'm guilty of stereotyping you guys as lacking any form of objectivity.'
