Haha, the ORIGINAL Zoey Deschannel. Always thought Zoey was being a pioneer, nope. lol

I've always found myself attracted to "Alternative" or "Rocker chic" (or even emo/goth) type women. This probably stems from the fact that I have a non-conformist, rebel type of personality, and find the same in women to be attractive. There's nothing I find more bland than the average ditsy...

Describe your ideal female partner. What attracts you in the areas of appearance, attitude, gender role (& extent), & any other identifiable 'vibes' etc.? Also post pictures that represent the type of appearance you like. I'm interested in whether the INTP preferences are unique or...

I've often been perceiving subtle errors / misuses made by others regarding the logical structure of language. I feel other people use language very loosely, arbitrarily, while INTPs use language with pin-point precision, becoming an engineer of words (consistent with independent INTP...

Debunked. This subject was brought up by an otherwise reputable family friend, so I had to look into it. After probing deeper learned this guy is involved in a baloney pyramid schemes (Monavie lol). It's a shame how greed can disarm one's logical boundaries, b/c this guy is an electrical...

Are you not INTP? What? No, I didn't mean the critiques shouldn't be considered. I was simply noting that not all critiques will come from unbiased sources because of 'special interests'; implied is that I don't wish to sift through it all atm. This is the whole reason I posted, to get...

Allegedly: Scientists David Gann and Shui-yin Lo have discovered a new physical phase of water. Water can exist as solid crystals AT ROOM TEMP. These crystals are found in ultra pure, dilute solutions of water. David Gann claims he has had many people with health conditions drink an...

Misunderstanding. I am trying to choose a career that interests me, so I am referring to my career when I say my interests change rapidly. Ergo, my interest in the chosen career is likely to change rapidly.

Did I mention that my interests change very rapidly? With every hobby or recreational activity I do, there seems to be a limit or threshold at which I completely lose interest. In terms of jobs, I have found that a new one is exciting at first, but only about 3 months before I'm bored of it...

Your advice to follow my passion is reasonable, but the problem remains: what am I going to DO with a humanities major, (given that I do NOT want to be a teacher/professor)?

I've considered law, and decided it's not for me. The main reasons being the extreme level of stress, deadlines, pressures, politics, etc. This and I don't have much interest in law in general.

So after many, many years of procrastination, and stubborn analysis and introspection, I'm entering my mid twenties and I MUST choose a major soon before life passes me by. I'm getting close... or shall I say the INTP version of being 'close to a decision'. This specific dilemma is in the...

Haha this is so true. I too am an excellent lier, but when under scrutiny the truth comes out wonky.

Have any of you been accused of a wrongdoing, and then unintentionally reinforced that accusation by acting guilty? An acquaintance at an ongoing social function had something stolen from him. I am not sure who actually did it, but my intuition is telling me he thinks it was ME. I'm pretty...

My list for positive/dreamy settings yearn for --a clean waterfall within a lush, healthy rain-forest. --a giant Scandinavian hillside occupied by cozy castles. --a cozy cabin in Aspen, Colorado --a scenic mountain in Thailand --a piny, Oregon forest --a sunny day after a very heavy snowfall...

I find myself (my current mood) exceptionally sensitive to my immediate environment, and the mood/vibe it forms. If I am in a room that is dirty or filled with clutter (or old-fashioned items), disorderly thoughts manifest (thoughts tend to race anxiously even more so than usual), I become...

It is quite obvious to me that the general nature of INTPs is in great conflict with the characteristics that American Capitalist culture prefers in it's citizens. In your opinion/theory... 1) What cultures/societies globally is the nature of INTPs inherently most compatible with and why...

This is the EXACT way I [attempt to] clean my room. It's amazing how predictable INTPs can be :slashnew:. (sigh). Another frustration is not being able to discard things that have a solid connection to your past (trying to maintain anchors to the past).

In detailed INTP profile descriptions, I see consistently that we are: (socially) described as chamelons; That we tend to mirror not only the mood, but the cultural characteristics of groups of people we are interacting with. Another element of our profile seems to be our tendency to...

That's an interesting analysis. One exception to this would be Seinfeld. It was quite boring in the first few seasons, started to get good at Seasons 4-5, and the seasons after that were equal if not better than 4-5. I agree that the majority of shows plummet the way you described.

Larry David was on Jay Leno for the first time (June 16). My god was he funny. He was even funny when the next guest was interviewed, he stole the show. It was this ditsy bimbo from a bachelorette show, and Larry was mocking her lack of intelligence and the ridiculousness of the show's concept...

Agreed. It's apparent that the new seasons have been 'dumbed down' for the general public. I miss the subtlety of the earlier seasons, now the writers are just trying too hard

These are reasons I doubted INTP. He's too organized, too narcissistic, too judging of others, never considers the idea that he's wrong. All of these rigid characteristics point to J. INTPs are more flexible with the way they do things, are more open-minded about the opinions of others, and...

Very true points. I can relate to the frustration regarding the mating process in the US. It's nearly impossible to attract women without wearing some kind of mask, at least initially. I find the whole process pretentious and repulsive. I find wearing a mask to be sooo difficult. It goes...

I couldn't understand a word that guy was saying. Could someone summarize?

Now that's a society that I would feel comfortable with. Humility and collectivism is the key to a healthy society imo.

In the context of society, I think most can agree that "good" is allowing other people to pursue happiness and well-being, and to avoid letting the forces under your control to interfere with those pursuits. Evil is of course the opposite.

Yea, me too. Their culture has a certain sophisticated quality to it that's hard to describe. I picture the place to be filled with castle-like architecture, with the dwellings being cozy and somewhat luxurious. Not OVERT luxury like we have in rich areas in the U.S., but a certain passive...

I am not sure what it "feels" like, because I haven't tried it yet. Since it is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, my guess is that it would raise heart rate without providing the euphoria that is marked with dopamine agents like amphetamine. My research tells me that it is more suitable...

In theory I have been doing all the right things for years. I exercise 3 times a week (table tennis, which is cardio AND muscle). My diet is not great but not terrible (pasta, whole grains, ORGANIC meats, ORGANIC fruits). I also take daily: Vitamin C, Omega-3/EPA/DHA fish oils, multivitamin...

I don't have access to it. Regardless, it would probably make things worse when coming off of it. Actually, there is nothing stressful going on recently. My life had been constant stress from age 17 to 20 dealing with difficult social/family situations, but oddly enough my mind was much calmer...

^Interesting. I'm open to him not being IxTJ, but I just can't settle with INTP for the reasons listed. I can't think of another profile that is a "best fit". He seems contradictory and quite hard to type.

^ Yeah. (IME) the majority pegs him as INTP, but I see characteristics that suggest he is not: --He constantly plans everything in advance (INTPs tend to be spontaneous and flexible) --He's very organized (INTPs are prone to clutter and incomplete tasks) --He likes to be in control of group...

I'm going to strongly disagree with this statement. Our governing system operates on nothing but free will. When someone is murdered, the law points the finger at the killer, and the killer alone. There is no investigation into why/how the killer turned into a sociopath, the law assumes the...

This is essentially the way humans are, it's not a false conclusion by any means IME. However, the outcome is not reliable "every time", but most of the time, and when the outcome is reliable 'most of the time', the assertion is validated. The idea of free will is a toxic concept that is...

^^Actually it was Beat Mango who said "tempting." And yes, narcissism is highly fostered by our culture. When you combine narcissism with the free market system, the result is a ton of people making victims out of tons of others for material gain. I know several people including myself who...

This seems to make the most sense out of all explanations. 100% of all death metal fans I've met were more or less outcasts, rebellious, and full of angst. I am convinced that their obsession with the music is sustained only by their obsession with the IDENTITY associated with it. I, being a...

^^ I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, but where in this thread have I given the impression that I advocate the system proposed in the latter half of the film? In fact in the first post I said I am not sure this system will work. I am commenting on our CURRENT SYSTEM, not the one...

Interesting thoughts. I don't really care how many holes they have in their argument, I believe the frame of the argument is very valid, which is that Capitalist/Individualist societies are inherently less peaceful, more violent, and psychologically unhealthy. I don't think they have failed...

I came across this documentary called Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, and I am truly blown away. It is both an informative and persuasive critique on Capitalist and Individualist society. The argument is that the current economic/cultural/social approaches within these societies are inherently not...

Has anyone had success with Stratera (for what ever reason)? This is allegedly less neurotoxic than Adderall/Ritalin, but I think it's still a stimulant.

I'm one of those liberal hippy INTPs, so California; and if the phony celebrity culture gets to annoy me, then to Colorado it is. For something more novel however, I would choose near a gorgeous forest in Thailand.

Really? No comments on this show? Well, I was going to ask anyway whether you think Sheldon is INTP or INTJ. It seems the times Sheldon has been mentioned in other threads people say he's INTP. I personally think he's INTJ.

No sarcasm, this is the way it works.

I am very surprised after being unable to find a thread dedicated to this show, so I thought I'd start one. Personally I find the premise of this show to be ingenious. It's very original, I can't think of any other series in which geeks/nerds are the main characters. The characters represent...

Accurate summary of the situation. America is now and has recently been a nation full of VICTIMS.

Right. I'm not implying anything I have researched and evidenced to be true, I am just providing some scenarios that highlight the merit of the postulation as something worth discussing. Oh great. A chicken-egg debate is just what we need:storks:. But for the record, I believe that nurture...

Okay, the reason for rewording was not to change the premise, and it wouldn't of course, neither would it change the relevance of data. The original question was just too specific to be a realistic basis for inquiring on the subject (INTx is not the only type with uncommon personality traits)...

Maybe "racing" is too strong a word. What I meant was a relatively constant stream of thoughts, but the subjects thereof change erratically and are often unrelated. When I am able to force myself to work out (not often), it seems this helps for a day or two after. Funny that whenever I take...

It seems my mind is racing constantly. What goes on in my mind is a relentless storm of scanning recent/past memories, analyzing social situations, weighing options/decisions, and tons of daydreaming. It gets to be intrusive when trying to concentrate on a single activity. Reading is very...
