Many people believe that it is anonymous, and in the context of my statement what matters is whether enough users believe it is anonymous, not whether it is actually anonymous by the standards of...
I agree that IQ tests have a subjective component to them, but I was asking why he thought my apparent beliefs regarding IQ tests had anything to do with whether the criticisms of IQ tests which I...
I stopped playing years ago, and I hardly think an anonymous online forum is much more real life than WoW is, but thanks for your concern anyways.
I'm surprised so many INTPs are just accepting the OPs implied premise that we create more shit (which has yet to be adequately defined) than other personality types. It seems to me like the OP is...
I had two failed attempts at starting a company if that counts. This is a very helpful website/magazine Business News & Strategy For Entrepreneurs | Entrepreneur.com And national business...
Based on my 1 hour of knowing you I can say in all honesty (-1)^0.5 (whatever that means)
To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
What?!
Yes you can.
I think this is a funny movie title http://youtu.be/8EjQZaLO9ao?t=1m45s
I think one thing INTPs and INTJs can agree on is that we're the only personality types which can be written as one character variables. int p; int j;
All the different personality types with their unique yet seemingly balanced skills and weaknesses, plus having their own areas to retreat to (and occasionally get ambushed in), reminded me of World...
What's dream science? It sounds interesting, pick that.
Almost everyone.
Get in the van.
I'm sorry to hear that man, we can be jerks (but not as much as INTJs). But no matter how stoic she seemed you probably did mean something to her, even if she didn't express it in a way anyone else...
I have a similar problem and I've lived here my whole life. Have you tried googling something like [adjective] bars in [city] or [genre] concerts in [city]?
They're too sexy.
I like this reporting from the front lines.
I think some shit is going down.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
I like to explore the hidden aspects of human experience, and I value science.
I love that so much. INTP dream come true. And all this time I thought compilers were mean because they only give you negative feedback, but all along it was to protect us from the criticisms of...
People being wrong, and the outcomes of people being wrong, so almost everything.
Masturbation.
I don't even understand those kinds of potential social cues with normal girls. I think that there are very few universal social cues, so what one person may consider an obviously signal, another...
I'm no expert on any of this, but here goes. Try to put yourself in their shoes. I know it can be hard, no one knows what other people are actually thinking, and that's where the issue is. The...
I agree with Promethea, if you can do anything to prevent any kind of blackmail then do it, unless it costs you more than the blackmail itself.
I will often read an email just so it will be marked as read, even though I know I don't have the time or focus to actually read it then, and of course I end up forgetting about it afterwards since...
Imagine if from your perspective your whole world existed in your mind. Introverts in general, but especially INTPs, fill the holes in their lives which most people use social interaction to fill,...
Democracy has the potential to cause more harm than good for most of the citizens of a given society.
I expect people to treat me based on some minimal standards of politeness, unless I do not reciprocate. I seldom deliberately split hairs or stir the pot, and when I do it's either among my friends...
It just seemed to me that most intelligent people I know appear to be less happy than other people I know appear to be. But maybe this was confirmation bias because now one example came to my mind of...
I was good at individual sports like swimming and archery, but I never enjoyed them that much and stopped practicing as soon as my parents stopped forcing me to go. If my friends really want to watch...
I took several different free MBTI tests online because I heard about it alot in psychology. I didn't have much faith in personality tests until I read the description of a typical INTP, it was such...
I was wondering whether to pass INTP to a function rather than make it a comment, but that seemed simpler.
How did you know??
I have alot of strong opinions on this recent mass obsession with attempting to control other people's vocabulary under the pretext of activism. The people who preach this BS don't get much criticism...
I'm not a professional programmer but I have done it as a hobby for about 8 years, most of my family members have worked as programmers, and I have several friends who work in the field. I feel...
Why? I dropped out of school because it got in the way of my learning It's too bright outside today, I'll stay home Why does the library close so early on Sundays? Last night I wrote a...
I was being tongue in cheek. My real reasoning is based on the criticisms I mentioned. Edit: I don't appreciate your attempt at psychoanalysis, nor do I think it is relevant to whether IQ is an...
Do INTPs and INFPs work well together in intimate relationships?
Lisa Simpsons once observed an inverse correlation between intelligence and happiness, and it sounded true to me. But are dumb people any happier? Maybe what they gain in not worrying about...
Wikipedia says that (/wiki/Illusory_superiority#IQ) I wasn't that surprised to find that people would overestimate their cognitive ability (assuming IQ is a reliable proxy for it) when they are...
I can only speak for myself: I am an INTP and I am extremely confident in my intelligence and my competence in thinking. They are talent's I've worked on extensively my whole life and I believe I...
Joining a forum about personality types is a good way to learn more about yourself, and others, especially if you thought you were a weirdo your whole life.
Welcome fellow daydreamer!
I was in my elementary schoolboard's gifted program, partly because I got above a certain score on a mandatory IQ test, so I assumed IQ was an objective may to measure intelligence. In high school I...'
