'I second this idea, you could also add sleeping pills to his every meal so he won't bother you.
Y'know, I was thinking about it and a threesome actually sounds like fun.
I can't stand social networking sites. Twitter is the worst of them all, how empty must your life be if you need your every thought to be examined by strangers. I also can't comprehend how some...
I like uncomfortable silences so having bad conversation skills has never bothered me. I think, the key to small talk is to seem interested, it doesn't matter what they say, just feign enthusiasm. ...
I usually fall for INFJs, they always appear so innocent and gentle, which brings the caring protector out of me.
Different situations require different attitudes. When I'm just relaxing with friends, I maintain a passive attitude. In work situations I'm usually pretty assertive, letting people know if there are...
LIAR! I've made a list of everything you need to do to qualify as an ISTP. I ride a motorbike, jump from airplanes on fire, rebel at any type of authority figure, shoot first then ask questions...
Well, my grandfather came from Ireland so we were brought up on potatoes. While they may not be all that tasty in their original form, they are versatile.
...when he's staring at you and the look on his face doesn't say I'm going to kill you. That works for INTJs as well.
I think there needs to be a healthy balance between doing and thinking for the ISTP. If you just focus on action, maintain an attitude act first, think later then eventually you'll burn out or end up...
I usually go all in when playing poker. Mostly it's because I get bored of the game and think to hell with it.
I'm not big on cell phones, they're useful for emergencies but people's dependency on them borders on obsession. Text messages are the worst about them, you take minutes tapping out a message that...
Family I'm not really in contact with most of my family. If you're curious as to why, see kadjunga's answer. Friends Usually relaxed, joke around. Strangers
My father is an ISTJ and the way he keeps going at something until he gets it has always amazed me. If he met a brick wall he'd just keep hitting it until it fell or he did. That's exactly...
That I can watch any 80's action movie and immediately identify with the main character.
I discovered it a few years ago in college. I was typed INTJ, some of it matched but I didn't really care enough to learn more. A friend of mine forced me to retake the test and the result was ISTP. ...
You sound like an ISTJ to me me. This, http://personalitycafe.com/istj-articles/12060-characteristics-istj.html is one of the best descriptions of an ISTJ out there, is any of it familiar to you?
I find this the best way to get out and have some fun. When it's paid for and organized by someone else, all you have to do is be there. I've joined a creative writing class and am going on a weekend...
God, I hope not. He was such a whiny little idiot.
That's exactly how most of the relationships I've been in go. I find myself constantly attracted to feelers, especially NFs, but it always ends the same. We get to a place where we're comfortable and...
Just started The Big Nowhere by James Ellroy.
I rarely feel empathy for another person. The exceptions being when I really care for that person or when they're going through a crisis which I've already faced in life. I can't believe he...
My father owned a small business when I was young and it soured me on the idea of owning or running a company. He just wasn't able to deal with the stress of it. If I was put in such a position, I'd...
You people sicken me. The only drug I'm on is prayer. And I wash it down with a tall glass of guilt.
I've done it plenty of times. Got bored of where I was and just left. I'm thinking of doing it again. Recently I've had a voice in my mind saying You're almost thirty, it's time to settle down. Get...
29, no wait I think I'm 28. I don't celebrate birthdays and rarely think about my age. I've been told more than once that I could pass for 18 and I'm still asked for my ID pretty often.
I don't really have a purpose. Control and power, both illusions but they are the things I strive for in live. Before I would say that I seek them for myself alone but I've recently come to a state...
I was in a relationship with an ESTP for over a year. Not only was she an ESTP but also an eight like myself so it could be pretty intense. It definitely wasn't superficial, we showed each other our...
...would do the most reckless things. I almost burnt the house down more than once. When I think about all the near death experiences I had as a child, I'm amazed that I'm still alive
Mines the same. While I've got tons of crap everywhere there's very little personalization. With all the books, computers and cult movies in the place, it probably screams nerd. It's just a phase...
I think you're thanking the wrong person. Satan's the only one who could make something as awesome as an ISTP:tongue:
In the case of the bear I would first study his body language. What does his stance indicate, how long and how deep are his/her grunts. I would also look for signs that might suggest I'm close to...
. You could really say the same for any IXTX. Those quotes sound far more like a J quality. Controlling the situation, wanting to win so badly that you focus on making others lose....
I'm pretty good staying on task. Unless it's incredibly boring I can usually stay focused for a quite some time. My J is pretty high so that might be the reason. I've always sucked at...
Procrastination is probably my biggest weakness. I think it stems from a need for perfection, if I can't get it done right, then why do it all? Rage is also a big problem for me. While I can...
I've been having the same feeling lately. I usually just devote more time to an area of interest when I get this way. Last time I spent weeks studying genetics and evolution. Eventually I get to a...
No, while I've occasionally felt an intense desire for someone I just met, I've never fallen in love at first sight.
He sounds like an ass. If he feels smothered by being around you then he just go off for a walk, get out of the house for a while. I may not be the most sensitive person in the world but someone...
Why not just cheat or you could screw the examiner. Wait, this is this ISTP forum not the ESTP forum.
Hah, that sounds a lot like my last relationship. She came across as the shy, timid sensitive type but she was really a man eater. That's why I dumped her...well she dumped me but I was gonna,...
I've been exploring the MBTI for a while now and the more I visit this forum the more issues I have with the system. So many people here seem to think that the MBTI can completely sum up your entire...
Damn, I was planning to make a thread about impatience but it was too much work. Oh wait, that's procrastination. From a scale of one to Get the hell out of my way I'd have to rate myself pretty...
Other people have feelings? Well that's new, next you'll be telling me that women are people.
I often have very weird dreams. On occasion there are different people in the dreams playing the protagonist but I've never thought of them as me in a different form. I've never really bought...
I said no but the above is a more accurate answer. While I not big on affectionate gestures I don't mind cuddling for a few minutes with an SO I'm very close to. I get very twitchy if it goes on for...
I find it depends on the person asking the question. If a close friend asks How are things? I tend to give them a more detailed answer than I would if an acquaintance asked. If someone asks...
ISTP 1. At a party of about 30-40 people, how would you act? how would you be relating to people/ communicating with them? Would you appear more extroverted than usual or would you withdraw? ...
Wow, that test was surprisingly accurate. I've taken a lot of those color tests and the results are usually way off.
I actually shouted that to a bunch of kids who were playing near my house. Scared the hell out of them. I usually become a grumpy old man around Christmas, the blaring music, flashing lights and...
I don't think people really fear death, they fear pain, loosing control or a life that meant nothing. To answer the question, I've been in enough life or death situations to remain calm and...'
