I've lifted this article from the INTJ Forum. How A Genius Learned To Start Working Hard TLDR: Basically he thought that his intelligence made him entitled to great stuff; that the world owed him. However two things helped him focus and start working: The armor-piercing question...

Summer is here again so it's time for young boys to start turning into young men through circumcision. Nothing beats gesturing a karate chop and saying "TSAK!" to make the young ones cringe and make their mothers chuckle. Medical advancement have made the operation rather painless and...

My ESTJ father told me that he was quite the quiet type during his formative years. I guess being raised in a farm doesn't improve your socializing skills much. However, he was forced to become more sociable during his college years, liked the process and developed into a rather successful Large...

So my friend lent me his gaming laptop for a few weeks. He asked me to buff his Skyrim character (which I did) but it seems that I enjoyed his other games like Dragon Age II more. (oddly I haven't seen the first game yet) Anyways, I really enjoy the stories spun by Bioware and this is no...

Can you help me identify what schools of thought my evolving life philosophy is closest to? I'm pretty sure someone else (probably an old Greek dude) have thought these stuff before. So far I think its closest to the Green color in the Magic the Gathering color wheel but of course that isn't...

I've recently watched a Nat Geo documentary about bloodsports and so far I wasn't convinced that animal bloodsports aren't worth it save one. Bull-fighting. I still don't like it but at least I have more respect for it now. Aside from being a culture thing (Which I respect) I think it's...

While searching for dog websites, I came to some sites that busts the Alpha male myth. Basically, the real wolf pack alphas are the actual fathers and mothers of the pack and the betas as doting sisters and brothers. The unfortunate alpha myth was created when researchers tried to study wolf...

I've been accessing intpforum.com for a few days now and just find a blank page with the words "This Account has been suspended". I've checked the Bans threads and my private messages but didn't find any issues on them. Checked the other sites that I frequently visit and find that they're...

I was discussing with my professor on what languages are needed by research and community development NGO's. We narrowed the selection down to the German and French languages. Anyways these are some of the pros and cons that I considered: French: Pros: * Everything sounds sexy * One of...

Meg Jay: Why 30 is not the new 20 | Video on TED.com Well this talk was eye opener for me as someone who is in his late twenties. Turns out that the 20's is the best time to develop yourself for the better or for the worse and I have wasted some of it away. Anyways, this is my take home...

I was playing a lot of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri sessions lately. One of its best ending is Transcending humanity and uniting with the Planet as an intelligent Hive Mind. The consciousness is collective but individuals may opt to have some time away from the hive or isolate themselves in their...

I've been semi-lurking on the Vegan thread started a while ago and thought about this thread: Since I'm getting older and sooner or later the effects of sugar and red meat will catch on to me, I'm currently thinking of switching to only fish, eggs and veggies. Vegetarian/vegan diets don't...

I'm at my late twenties now but it seems that I'm switching life goals again. It seems that my ambition to found my own business seems to stem from a forced ambition to subconsciously please my ESTJ father and honor my family (the perks of being an Asian male :P). Oddly, my family and my father...

Literally "caring brutal", it's a harsh way of teaching your students to toughen them up. I just experienced this from my old boss that asked me to visit his Techno-entrepreneurship class. The result was that I was forced to recite in class that I just wandered into, had my three top...

Any of you guys lurk in other MBTI forums? What did you learn from there? Anyways. I'll start. I'm lurking at two forums lately: INTJ - I think they're on to us! There can be only one type that will rule this world and it ain't J.:evil: ENFP - Their relationship forum have sub-forums...

Which type would best teach us how to use our Ne? Of course we can't beat the primary Ne's in their game but at least we can have more data to build our Ne strategies. So here is what I come up so far: ENTP's Pros - the closest extroverted versions of ourselves Cons - if they can just stop...

Hmmm looking back on my life it seems that I find myself attracted to archetypes. Well for starters I like Jung. I also see that during my occult phase: The Elements of Feng Shui and the Western and Eastern zodiacs. Later this night I'm going home and play the audio version of "The Hero...

Whenever I'm forced to do something important really fast, I descend to this "dark mode". I get really calm, focused and cold (even for INTP standards) but I get things done. Things that my normal self would consider impossible/too much effort such as sweet-talking higher ups to get my way...

INTP's like to figure stuff out and what better thing to study than improving one's functions. I think studying such functions in the wild would be beneficial to the INTP. We tag along/ hang out with other types, study how they use their functions and then hopefully integrate the positive uses...

So I was reading Auburn's http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=12410 thread and I observed that I'm attracted (not necessarily sexually) to people with Extraverted Intuition (Ne) or perhaps people that show such mannerisms. for clarification: Primary Ne's (ENTP, ENFP) Auxillary Ne's (INTP...

I've been thinking about being an INTP friend lately and gathered some info from the net and my life in general. Anyways this is not a glorification of the INTP, I think we have gaping weaknesses like the other types (hence the Cons) Any suggestions or new insights would be appreciated. Pros...

I know INTP's are not exactly the sporty type but do you think we could excel in this field as well? After years of being inactive, I've enrolled in a Taekwondo class. Due to my lack of activity I'm not as fast nor strong as the other students who have practiced years. However, I think INTP's...

Anyone plays Defense of the Ancients here? What's your best character/s? I'm more of a nuker/support (Zeus, Warlock and Demon Witch)

Did this classification of INTP archetypes yesterday during a very long meeting. The meeting was nice, but the heavy lunch made my mind a little woozy. Any comments? Ne-Fe: The carefree Man-child Ti-Si: The cynical Old Man, analysis-paralysis Ne-Si: The detached Observer Ti-Ne: The dynamic...

New member here. Is the study of social life an evolution of an INTP's research? Like any INTP I've been more or less isolated from "normal people" preferring books, video games and the net to pass time with. Now that I'm in my 20's, I've become active at church and found out that people are...
