Harris reminds me of Noam Chomsky. Very even keeled, dispassionate delivery but passionate about the topic, unruffled when challenged, opinionated (obviously). I've always gotten the vibe that Chomsky is INFJ so I suppose Harris could be one too. My main point is INFJs are likely to show their...

Reminds me of my son when he was younger. You wouldn't notice anything. He's possessed, chill and quiet when suddenly (after being somewhat baited by his brother) he would go ballistic and I mean SCARY ON YOUR ASS BALLISTIC. You couldn't calm him down and his older brother (who is twice his...

I'll comment on how they feel to me. My ex and son are both INTJs and I've known one INTP fairly well. INTPs inferior Fe makes their edges smoother and more accessible which translates to a more harmonious interpersonal flavor. INTJs have a harder edge unless you know them well and you get to...

Personally, I haven't done self harm but I think that it lies on a spectrum of general self destructive behaviors that we puny humans are susceptible to. I've had my share of self destructive things I've done such as starving myself, eating too much, excessive periods of drinking or drugging. Of...

After a night of drinking, music and conversation...this is the song I want to hear. Oh so sultry http://youtu.be/6ZWsr_AqKxM

I'm INFJ too and what you said in the 'despize feelings' thread does seem to be true. That immersion in intensity of feeling usually sad or bittersweet. If I'm in a practical mode, that isn't prominent but when it is, music seems to satisfy that craving.

I agree with this but you know, the military has uses for the psychotic shiva's:D

I could see an INTP being very successful in a ruler position especially if the country was in great need and suffering to such an extent that an INTP who had a brilliant system designed to turn the tide, could get elected. Say the threat was global warming of an imminent kind or an asteroid...

I'm not sure but are INFJs competitive? If not, that's one way I don't meet the description. I also love to dance and get lost in the expression (a very Se thing).

One thing you might want to consider is how much grief you'll experience when your family is hounding you if you don't do something for your birthday versus the hassle and grief you'll experience actually doing something for your b-day. Weigh it out and face the negative either way. Happy...

My intuition says that you're likely to mistype more when you're young and get a better handle of your type as you mature. Maturity brings more life experience and self knowledge. As for the question of type changing-NO! Personality doesn't change. It's what you're born and die with. These are...

I've never played these types of games so I don't know the effects but people need touch, smells, real conversation which these games don't provide. I doubt there is much to worry about other than the outliers who fall in love with inanimate objects. Of course, INTPs and INTJs may fall into...

Keep stirring:) I'm vacationing in Panama City Fl. I'll be back at it soon. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm assuming you'd also require that men pay for their own medicine for erectile dysfunction? Also the male that impregnated the women that wants an abortion, should contribute half the cost of the abortion?

Funky and groove-a-licious. The song has enough change-ups to keep you going. Made my hips move. 7.5 This is old as fuck but...poetry (goes really well with a belly full of wine). http://youtu.be/Ul2hSba5pOs

4/10 Pop song and pop sounding main voice coming from what I was hoping would be something different. Sounds like most top 40s songs just in an Asian language. Not much compelling here but they did have some nice harmonies. http://youtu.be/H2qg6-sjCy8

I've been taking notes. Really want to try my hand at being a dick;)

Almost as cool as smoking :smoker:

Perverted or sadistic pleasure.

I agree. Ni works backwards from what normally would be considered step by step building up and coming to an impression or conclusion. It forms an Impression/ conclusion first as a Gestalt and then uses Ti to trace how it got there. CC, I used Gestalt as my understanding but I'm curious if...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562923/ I find the notion of aesthetics and morality to be compelling at least as the baseline or foundation of morality. But as nanook points out, that there are higher levels of morality that build from the foundational aesthetics. The higher...

If I flip what you're saying, would it be "Life is inherently good because it's in line with the natural law of survival."? Could you give an example of how existential pragmatism ethics would work in a hypothetical ethical quandary?

You're operating out of dispair and it's distorting your thinking and behavior. Don't trust your feelings. They are fleeting and highly changeable. You're reaching out for help through this forum so use that to reach out to tangible help and call your emergency line.

The subforums give a clue to what members are interested in. I typically theorize on: 1. Psychology-particularly in the area of differentiation. Not so much Maslow's stuff but the intersection of relationships and the reciprocal impacts on growth. 2. Philosophical concepts-especially...

Ni doms have the edge in typing. They take an overall impression and don't get bogged down in analysis as easily as thinking types. Their impression can infer internal motivation which is a big part of typing. But I think the best in typing yourself is yourself. INTPs can get into over...

Some might take it as such but it doesn't have to be. The safest or conservative interpretation, it says SHE is embracing her sexuality. It's risky but a unilateral stance. How you, or others react to it is totally up to you and reflects who you are. Do you like what you see in the mirror of...

CC, have you ever danced with a guy (assuming you're male) and really enjoyed it (meaning your body language and attitude was abandonment of care)? Now that would be courageous! But I get your drift and don't disagree. I'm not sure what would be analogous for a female?? Anyone?

Some have said it doesn't matter what you think but your actions are what matters. To some extent, this is true but to neglect attitude is to miss an important antecedent. If you take a 'vive la difference' attitude, it's celebratory in nature. If it's an attitude based on fear, then its...

Says the meat to the meat:D

I was responding to Cog's statement 'technology is inherently a good thing'. It's easier to assess if a particular technology is 'good/bad' for a particular individual. My mother has never used a computer and doesn't want to because it would complicate her life unnecessarily and for her at...

Maybe this is just semantics but the terms 'good/bad' are value judgements. Value judgements only exist within a conscious being therefore inanimate objects (ie technology) can't have inherent goodness.

That's been my experience as well. I can almost immediately sense when I'm in the presence of someone very dissimilar and we just don't have much to say to each other except polite small talk. With other NF's, since I'm INFJ, we can have great conversations and lots of resonance but there isn't...

Both of my quotes are from Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins. btw, I always get a chuckle out of your avatar.

“Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is - and still not caring.” “This did not annoy Amanda for it had long been her theory that human beings were invented by water as a...

If nothing else, the men in the video are stupid if they think this will attract a sexual participant. I'd argue the hallmark of HUMAN sexual desire is having a measure of control over our urges rather then being lead by them.

My post before this outlines it more clearly: repeated unwanted sexual attention AND she didn't welcome the sexual attention, then she was sexually harassed by at least a few of the men who repeated his advancement. This is basically the definition of sexual harassment in the work place at least...

Nice post to Alice on her relationship dilemma. Sounds similar to what I would have pointed out if I had posted. You strike me as INFJ. Simply a vibe I'm getting.

CC, are you directing your comments to me? In case you are, I'll respond. I in no way indicated she wanted the attention but simply that if she didn't want the attention, that's the definition of harassment. We don't know how she feels internally, just that it looked like she was disgusted by it...

If the definition of sexual harassment is repeated unwanted sexual attention AND she didn't welcome the sexual attention, then she was sexually harassed by at least a few of the men who repeated his advancement. So it rests within the subjective experience of the person. I don't think laws are...

Re: How many times have your cried? DAMN Grayman! You've had death, loss and trauma as much as someone gone to war. I admire your resilience and determination to live on as best you can. *hugs*

I like to flip this saying to: Life circumstances give you an opportunity to imbue your own meaning to your struggles.

Thinkers are less likely to relate to others via their own feelings (this forum is full of examples of Thinkers who can't 'fake' a feeling response if it's not there). Feelers relate to others THROUGH their feelings. That's the 'warmth' that is sensed and emanated. The warmth is the social...

I was actually thinking along the lines of mind mapping-reading someone's mind and understanding his/her thoughts, feelings and motivations. This is the precursor for manipulation, lying and such as well as empathy. However, animals do show this ability in a rudimentary way. Deception has been...

Does anyone know if there is evidence that animals make meaning? I still contend meaning-making is a human distinguishing hallmark. This has been researched quite a bit and I doubt there is much controversy that indeed we are meaning makers. I'm just not sure (and I googled it so I did due...

I think I understand the metaphor of software but that only encompasses the mind. What about touch? Our physicality is what grounds us. Touch and physical interaction is essential to a healthy mental state. A disembodied mind could lead to???

Thanks Cog. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up playing video games or just stupid in trying to understand or conceptualize the concept but I'm having trouble understanding what a 'full digital existence' is. Would we still have a body but a mechanical one? Would we exist in the real world or a...
