Yes, but I find that it helps me organize the chaos at least enough to see where the interconnections would go, if there were a way to depict something very tangled. :)

Well, I find it pretty useful for basic introspection. I can ask a question in the first node about something I'm trying to figure out, and then in the child nodes, I give possible answers. After that, I make another set of nodes for each child node, describing any associations I come up with...

http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download It's a mind-mapping program that helps people organize their thoughts. I'm loving it. There are all kinds of features that allow you to get the specific variations perfect, using colors, shapes, icons, etc. I was playing around with...

Oxytocin kicks ass, but I can see how administering it artificially could potentially be misused to "treat" things that weren't actually problems. :confused:

I usually deal with this problem by choosing not to put myself in positions where I must have authority over others, but in some situations, like when I babysit, I need to be in control. I obtain this control by keeping the children interested, entertained, and emotionally involved in any tasks...

I don't think it has to do with the T preference. It could be the IN__ combination, and if so, then yes, there is probably a correlation between depression and intelligence. IN__ types tend to have higher IQ's than E types or S types. They are also less common and therefore more likely to...

I get creative ideas while out walking, but I don't think it has to do with the activity iself as much as the location.

Haha!!! Sharks with frickin' laser beams!

INTPs in love are weird. It's not like normal love. It's like, "I think I have an intellectual curiosity about another mind, even though I have no feelings and don't care if that other person is actually here." I don't get what makes it different from what INFPs call "friendship." Any insights...

Yeah, I consider my online life more real than "real" life, because it is more spiritually and psychologically fulfilling. The only other difference is distance, and even that is a physical thing.

Actually, he's a Tolowa, but that's close enough. His expenses during treatment have depleted his savings, even with his insurance covering the radiation itself. I probably won't be getting a computer for a while unless someone just gives me a used laptop with wireless internet capabilities...

Yes, I especially tend to do that whole terrible martyr thing, and the grasshopper one, which is more intentional.

Interesting. I like the mystery of trying to figure out what they mean.

That's beautiful!
