'You notice that a good number of responses here are actually positive, which is consistent with cognitive function theory (in particular Socionics), which states that ESFJs may actual be the ideal...
I want to briefly comment on both the video and your post. I think this guy has it mostly right, but there are some aspects where he's not quite describing it correctly. His broader claims are on...
I definitely enjoy dissonance in music. For instance, I find this utterly soothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz8cDaIlCQc Most of this post rings true for me, although I can't speak to...
Caffeine gives me headaches and I don't want to become addicted/reliant on it, so I don't consume any caffeine in the mornings unless I am far off of my sleep schedule and need it to function (rare)....
I think you'll agree with Bill Burr's podcast bit on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca3PQ7gA8hg The main point isn't that people should hit women, but that a culture where one...
Definitely can't relate. A lot of things can make me anxious and uncomfortable, but I guess I don't feel strongly about what I eat. Once back when I was at a college dormitory I literally got a...
I doubt I could get along with someone who felt strongly in favor of a particular political or religious ideology. My stance on these things is usually anti-ideological. I come at most questions...
I don't think I was off schedule in terms of the verbalizations I made as a baby. I should note that it's not a binary phenomenon -- it's hard to say when a baby truly goes from just babbling vowels...
Not a fan. The thing I actually dislike the most is when the person shows me the photo afterwards and asks what I think of it, usually with a gleeful look on their face. I respond honestly each time...
Looking at this again, I realize that I misread the original equation. My reply was based on another person's and compounded by the fact that reading mathematics from unformatted text is weird. My...
You claim that 1, 2, and 3 are mathematically equivalent but they absolutely are not. Equations 2 and 3 are both reducible to x = 1. This is fine. No problem here. Equation 1 is reducible only...
I spend at least 70% of my time by myself listening to music. Whether I'm walking to class, working on something, waiting for an appointment, or just wasting time on the internet, I'm usually...
Nope. I don't drink either. Hell, I don't even drink coffee. I generally try to avoid anything that could make me dependent. The thought of that is very unpleasant to me. So as long as I can wake...
I try not to eat like utter shit, but I also am too lazy to put much effort into cooking. So spaghetti, rice, beans, tortillas, toasted bread and whatnot are my main sources of calories. I eat fruit...
1. Do you do it? On occasion. 2. How often? Less than once a month. I'm in college, and so if I need to stay on campus for lunch/dinner and didn't bring something, I either get something to go...
The Stephen Fry segment in that article reminded me of this rather swell example of this from the always elo-fucking-quent George Carlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbZhpf3sQxQ
Seems to only happen around certain types of people. My ESTJ mother does this a lot, and my ENFP ex girlfriend did it a bunch too. I never have this problem with my friends.
I love sleeves. They hug my arms. I definitely feel more comfortable with more of my body covered up. I like wearing long-sleeved shirts and sweaters, and I wish I didn't have to wear shorts in...
Oh not at all. Rather, I have an aversion to those who refuse to use capital letters. Get me out of here.
I listen to music during pretty much every spare moment and I will listen to a select few entire albums at a time until I've nearly memorized them entirely. Albums will enter and leave that rotation,...
As I've said before, one can accept as valid the life experiences which cause us to feel spiritual or connected to something greater, while not actually believing these feelings have anything to do...
I think this is a great explanation for this phenomenon, but it doesn't rule out that MBTI may play a role in the attachment style that INTPs or other types might tend towards. Obviously, there are...
You know guys, you can accept feelings of spirituality and accept their validity solely as components of the human experience without giving any credence to supernatural claims about the universe....
Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about keeping my mental state in some pure form. I agree that's nonsense. I just don't like the feeling of dullness that accompanies weed, in particular. ...
I really hate confrontation, and it can take me days to get over my crap and actually do it. Even for minor things. I'll defend myself and my positions stubbornly if challenged, but I essentially...
The price of ignorance is knowledge. A dumb expression I came up with the other day. The converse statement would make sense, because you can trade ignorance for knowledge, but vice versa makes...
I can get a little testy from frustration, but it's not so much a flare-up of anger as much as I just get a little mean or finicky. My level of anger never rises above the level that others are...
1. It becomes harmful to the person typing if it skews their view of the subject of typing to fit them into a desired type (especially problematic if the typing is incorrect). It becomes harmful to...
Guy's, I'm upset. All of the old Vocaroos up to the middle of page 21 are gone :L I know I should have more of a Buddhist impermanence view of this stuff, but I really hate when I thought I had an...
Would you be offended if I'd call you a PersonalityCafe fixture before icon? Because if so, the minimal drama would excite me.
Certainly. I'm picky about food choice, I'm picky about clothes, I'm picky about friends, I'm picky about shows, I'm picky about movies, I'm picky about music, I'm picky about video games. I'm...
I personally have no experience, but my father is an INTP and my mother an ESTJ. They seem perfectly happy together, although their communication doesn't seem... connected? She does most of the...
The only way I've found to do this is to offer numerous caveats and limitations to what I'm saying to try to establish that I don't feel particularly inclined towards that argument. I'll say A is...
I would imagine that an interested INTP could be adept at market analytics or actuarial practices, if you're thinking more practical efforts than the study of economics. I don't personally understand...
F, specifically an Fe type. Partially because I'm really attracted to the personality and also because I think it helps me communicate better.
My dad is an INTP and my mother is an ESTJ. It's a pretty interesting dynamic. Can't say that'd work for me, but I've come to respect my mother's way of doing things more over the years.
Biking during cool summer nights. QUAKE LIVE BABY Um um um Human vs Zombies at my college was pretty fun. In general I'm not a thrill-seeker at all, I have anxiety and generally only try to...
The main thing was just time. Nothing actually made me feel better about it (as there was some level of betrayal involved), I just eventually became numb to it. Friends helped, music helped,...
Nope. I really don't care for inhaling smoke, nor for the smell, nor for the loosening of the screws in my brain which keep my mental clarity intact. Don't get me wrong, someday I'm doing LSD, as...
I tend to find things interesting which seem to have something of substance there to dig into and figure out, where this is not immediately apparent or obvious. I therefore lose interest if it turns...
The human desire to form romantic relationships arises to serve the purpose of furthering the human species, just as does human sex drive. These are separate phenomena from a biological perspective,...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpblqUh_C24 Not normally into black metal, but this is some pretty interesting stuff.
I never really agreed with describing it is a loop, because it's really just about a lack of balance between introverted and extroverted cognition, but it does sometimes appear to be...
I wouldn't really say that women and men are equal, but I think the advantages and disadvantages in our society make it a very muddled issue to the point that it's difficult to pin down if either...
I'm quite restrained. I rarely give into physical impulses, and I don't act impulsively when it comes to decisions I have to make. It can take me a month to get through a package of Oreos because I...
It should be noted in the example of the thermodynamic system that only 15 minutes before he had directly stated that that the definition of a thermodynamic system required that the contents were...
Pretty much my response, as in the second paragraph. In real life yes, but if you're modeling the substance together as a thermodynamic system you make the quasi-equilibrium assumption and...
You know the one. You're making a point and you haven't yet explained the assumptions and conditions of it, and someone quips Well, it depends. Or you ask a question which has a straightforward...
I think one of my greatest strengths in discussion is the ability to pinpoint the particular chain of reasoning that best clarifies my point of view. I find that Ne types generally have the same...
I prefer playing offensive roles. High damage, medium-low defense characters. I typically enjoy games that require complex mechanical skill and understanding, so I gravitate to roles that require a...'
