Contrary to popular belief, women respond just as strongly to physical attractiveness in the opposite sex as us "visual" men do. Two UCLA researchers, David Frederick and Martie Haselton, conducted a study of over one hundred male UCLA undergraduates. They found that the male students who...

I like your trio. All three of these men advanced the causes of liberty and freedom. My list would also include: Ayn Rand Ron Paul Jim Morrison

I'm not a parent, but if another parent was lecturing me about dumbing down conversations with kids, I'd explode. Why must adults bring themselves down to infantile level, instead of gradually raising children's vocabulary and intellect?

I'm equally terrible about remembering names.

My INTP self-discovery allowed me to accept my scatter-brained nature and emotional repression. I realized that with every strength (intuition and intellect) comes a weakness (poor sensory skills and lack of emotional expression)

I agree with Echoplex that accepting compliments is one of those unwritten rules of social etiquette. By discrediting the compliment, you also discredit the person giving the compliment. The impulse to look for underlying motives is strong, but if you care at all about getting along with people...

I'm no Brett Favre fan, but Peterson and the other Viking fumblers deserve some of the blame too.

Unfortunately, an INTP's work ethic (contrary to popular belief, INTP's are capable of hard work) is often overlooked because we don't advertise it as loudly as other types. Also, our "passion" is much more internalized than an extroverts or F types, so we radiate aloofness.

Litigation/Family Law Attorney Pros: intellectual stimulation, utilizing my research/writing/analytical skills; making a postive impact on people's lives, contributing to the evolution of law, and a decent (though somewhat overrated) income; Cons: Dealing with needy and demanding clients...

Well, I constantly question my lack of "in the now" awareness, short-term memory, organizational skills, and neatness. Unfortunately, my boss and gf remind me of these deficiencies on a daily basis.:o

As opposed to the artificial laboratory creations that INTP's normally relate to? Your ideal response: "If honey, you mean ignorant simpletons, then yes you are better at talking to them."

I have to disagree about introversion's effects on the genders. Even in 2010, men are still expected to initiate action in various situations more than women (e.g., asking out somebody on a date). Men who are relucatant to do this are not percieved as the strong, silent type; they just have far...

Esentially, that amendment describes Libertarianism, which I fully subscribe to. Unfortunately, most Americans are willing to sacrifice liberty for temporary safety or comfort. This doesn't mean, however, that voters couldn't be reminded of the overall benefits of liberty.

Being "T' may be a "masculine" trait, but introversion, imo, certainly isn't. Think of the protoypical "alpha" male-does he ponder at length before making decisions? Does he quietly assess a situation before jumping in? Does he think or does he take action? I speak from the experience of having...
