Brrrp. Thanks. :) This is a truth. I think it has to do with human beings. Results matter, but appearances do too. Being part of the team, being *seen* to be part of the team, *conforming* to be part of the team. :) Not optimal, but it sounds like you've found a reasonably good fit...

Remember, MBTI is only a perspective. One of many. I think it would be a mistake to try to shoehorn your life into a single perspective. But you're probably aware of that. Only a couple. You're winning! ;) Not surprising. Managers are people responsible for 'results', so seeking closure...

You realize that *your* logical argument is also based on this logic? You have a *belief* that consensus reality is true because of your *experience*. Consensus reality is not a fact, it's a belief. So why is this experience of consensus reality any more valid than any other experience? An...

We *know* this? It's true everywhere, always? I find this attitude disquieting. I interpret it to mean that you have the right to determine what is ok and not ok for someone else to think. Do you really mean that? And there is something wrong with people having 'sublime and profound stuff...

'There is more between heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy.' Hamlet(?) After enough of these kinds of things showed up in my life, I couldn't ignore them any more. Everybody has to make their own mind up. And decide if their experience is more valid than the consensus...

~INTP Argument, debate - no sharing - not in person. The kind of sharing that is taking place in this thread is OK. Nuances often get lost in conversation, and the ideas are usually not very deep, because the interaction is distracting. But, like Puffy says above, that environment can lead to...

Don't like. I prefer to be as bland and unremarkable as possible in my interactions with others. Professional politeness. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Get it over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. If they don't remember me 5 minutes later, I've accomplished my goal.

I realize this thread is old, but I'd like to run something by you. In order to illustrate that the model of the way the mind works that you are using is flawed. You say above that you know the solutions. And that you just don't implement them. But you know that you have a high powered mind...

I'm not sure I *like* them. After all, everyone is fair game, so if you have an entp for a friend, you better watch your back. ;) You hit the nail on the head. I get the experience vicariously, and it's like being tickled. I actually burst out laughing when I read those descriptions. The...

Good point! But some things are more flawed and incomplete than others.

I test as INTP, but I must be marginal. When I was travelling around reading the threads for the various types, (search on "know you're XXXX"), I identified with lots of them. --- I found these ENTP posts to be hilarious, and I've done things similar to this, if not so outrageous. --- When you...

You did say *any* input. ;) So you're going to get an earful. This is my synthesis of the information, and it's worth at least as much as you paid for it. Warning, warning, long post ahead. Loooonnnnggg post ahead. Don't say you weren't warned. First off, the chemistry of your brain isn't...
