I haven't used a critical frame of mind in assessing his work. I think what's needed is to read his articles, books etc which I haven't done. But I give him credit for taking MBTI to the neurologic level.

For anyone that might be interested in Nardi's work, he's interviewed (about 4 short interviews) on youtube NFGeeks. (I don't know how to embed a video so I'll leave a link :o) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgFERPXB0SA&feature=c4-overview&list=UU64ZVKXwVqL31sJojEiIv4g

Thanks for the link. I found this part most illuminating: "A second important characteristic of evolution is self-reference (Campbell, 1982). The Cartesian cartoon of an autonomous external "environment" dictating the form of a species like a cookie cutter cutting stencils from sheets of dough...

This is exactly the unconscious desire of the highly sensitive and reactive INFJ (or I'll own it myself. This INFJ) to unwittingly obtain from an INTP. Of course, you can't get this ability from others (INTP or otherwise) but I think it's a magnet to the INFJ...something that you know you lack...

If YOU'RE suffering from existential boredom, why involve the mods? Why not ban yourself or is that too boring? And if you're MO is Void (with a capital V), why be a part of a forum anyway? (I'm not advocating any of the above, simply posing questions for your benefit)

You're young, brash and have many experiences that will whittle away your over estimation of yourself hopefully to burn it down and transform into a self-confident but humble man. Experience will be your teacher as it has been for all generations so keep on being yourself (or not), it will lead...

Kinda fun:)

With all the discussions about uploading your consciousness into an android body etc...it got me thinking about the ramifications to the tenants of evolution. If we as a species can live indefinitely rendering us immortal, how does that change the fundamentals of evolution? We no longer would...

That's taking the high road and a very difficult thing to do at that!:)

But take it further...the Fe expression has a purpose. To have an empathic impact on the person directed at and to sway/influence. (Te does it as well only via the route of appealing to reason.) For INFJ, it's perfectly reasonable to expect a loved one to take your feelings into consideration...

Humm...I got Creator. Maybe NiFe is correlated? You are the Creator! 64% Innocent, 23% Orphan, 63% Warrior, 76% Caregiver, 56% Seeker, 65% Lover, 42% Destroyer, 80% Creator, 54% Magician, 67% Ruler, 77% Sage and 69% Fool! Goal: Identity Fear: Inauthenticity Response to Dragon/Problem: Claim...

Re: Conversation with wonkavision This analogy might fit if the forum was a close family unit, which it's not. If I see an elephant in my forum living room, I acknowledge seeing it then I assess if the elephant is bothering me. If not, I leave it alone.

Re: Conversation with wonkavision What is the difference between banning and ignoring a poster? Action vs inaction...the result is the same (equilibrium within a group). I think we're all culpable.

Love, love, love your question to somfoolishfoole in the 'I don't respect..." thread!

Yes. Dancing naked in goat blood is highly under-rated:D On a serious note...the picture painted in your example (mild mannered scientist by day and visceral experiencer by night) seems to embody the paradoxical nature of man. Let us accept all who we are so as to not fall in the trap of...

If you define yourself as the smartest, then by definition, there is no one to meet that is smarter. Yea, you're fucked!

Good post! I will take two perspectives on this matter. The individual versus the collective. From an individual stance, a lack of remorse is not essential to function if by function you mean self-sustaining. A person who lacks remorse can hold down a job, scam the system, or do whatever he/she...

First of all, kudos to you to step out of your comfort zone! You're probably aware that some anxiety facilitates performance (weather it's a test, job interview or whatever) so the trick is to relax just a bit. Deep breathing, talking to yourself in a calm manor and making a conscious effort to...

I'm not INTP but I take in a person holistically (can't really pin point what exactly) but it will 'feel false'. I don't take my intuition as gospel truth but I heed the warning and become more attuned. I'll take a very cautious approach with them...

The forum will give you opportunities for all your hobbies except the last. Looking forward to your perspective

Found an interesting assessment of Theodore's (the main character) type: http://oka-online.com/her-a-uniquely-infj-love-story/

@nitroviper Your post is poetic. You call emotions 'monsters'. Monsters make life exciting and unpredictable. Embrace your monster!

The article generalizes and describes the problem. You can't 'break through' with generalities or insights but rather through your real life. Since this is a relational issue, look to your relationships to get at the specifics. How are you acting this out in your relationships? Once you're able...

Yep, you probably already know this. From dreammoods.com: Bestiality To see or be involved in bestiality in your dream represents your animalistic and carnal desires. It also refers to raw sexuality and lust. Alternatively, the dream may indicate that you are experimenting with certain...

@BAP Thanks for the link. People deprivation may not create the same effects as hallucinations and the like but you do go a bit crazy if you spend too much time alone and in your head. I work at home and even though I talk on the phone and email, I start to get itchy to be among people.

So in this case your goal in socializing here on the forum is the goal to better understand socialization. On the face of it, that makes sense but couldn't there be other motivations involved? What might be lurking underneath the obvious goal of understanding? Why understand at all? What use is...

Well I'm a J myself (INFJ) so no offense meant to either:) Greyman, is your Fe showing?;)

I'll be the decider:p but you clearly delineated the verbiage. Js tend to be outwardly confident (sometimes more, sometimes less) and Ps are perhaps inwardly confident.

Maturation may be a critical factor. Assuming two people, one a J and the other a P, and both mature at a similar rate, over the course of time and experience the J will likely question their conclusions while the P will likely have more confidence in their conclusions. Open mindedness is a...

Duh:facepalm: Spell check can only accomplish so much. Thanks for the correction

Well I feel sorry for my feudal underlings if I'm 'lord of the manor' :ahh04: Happy New Year! I hope to see a few installments of your story. I never replied to you last question. I do write a bit but I find when I read it back, it sounds like garbage. The perfectionistic curse of the INFJ...

Humm...interesting thought (a flip of the go-to response). How would you go about constructing this world a la MBTI? I'll throw one in there: The world is dominated by Te rules/policies/procedures/uniformity. Balance that out with a lessening of rules but not too much. If a balance of all 16...

Looked at your tumblr...you have talent!

This seems to be a short-sighted perspective. I would imagine if the world were all one type, any type, it would fit with your words "be much more social and enjoy others’ attention". But you're only looking at the positives. I'd imagine humans would lose their evolutionary edge and quickly...

I have no doubt you're in emotional pain. I sincerely hope you don't take any action that will stop you from possibly finding some bits of joy in the future. As I read your words, it seems clear there is an obsession with determining if you indeed have AS. However you associate AS to equal never...

Not in Scotland but I randomly hugged strangers and was hugged in return. Too bad the good will doesn't extend beyond the celebrations but on the other hand, I'd feel weird getting random hugs outside of the New Year celebrations:D

Happy New Year forum!

I just wanted to tell you my impression of you. No matter what you say, you seem to be very genuine and caring. INTPs can exude a quiet and subtle warmth.

I don't disagree but one of my points was that whatever leash one uses, if that leash is losing it's hold, then a stronger leash is needed. Your suggestions, BDSM, Fight Club, hunting, will likely help for a while but that hold isn't a long term solution. Yes, incarceration/hospitalization will...

Excellent observation. This isn't a consensus of one.

You are a slave to the 'other me'. You use your wife and now this forum to keep you in check because you recognize you don't have good control of your 'other me' impulses. You think that by killing others you'll gain back your 'power' and be free. That won't happen but only enslave you more...

Welcome and have fun!

Pros: meticulous and perfectionistic in whatever they do, responsible for the most part, have strong articulated viewpoints that they can back up, use witty often times sarcastic humor that cracks me up, won't allow themselves to get taken advantage of, can stick with a hobby/project until they...

About A Boy, Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones Diary, Two Weeks Notice, 50 First Dates, Jane Eyre, Alfie, Educating Rita, Blame It On Rio. Lots more but enough for now.

The militant feminists, as most militant groups tend to be, are over-shooting the mark in an effort to change the culture thereby paradoxically drawing attention away from their good points and instead, attention goes to militant attitudes which grate on people (as they should!). Blurred...

Bose Mini. The sound from this small speaker is astounding. I like my music to envelope me.

Welcome Confused...we'll straighten you out or f-you up. Either way it will be fun:D

Gaudy, Christmasy guest towels. Nuff said.
