What is knowledge? How do we find it? How do we apply this knowledge? I probably cannot answer these at all, but I will try. Thinking is all fine, running through logic is nice, but it doesn't seem to mean anything or get us anywhere except within the logic itself. We as humans do not run...

So I wrote a book in two weeks, but now that the editing process is here, I find it hard to do so, no clue why. It is probably that editing feels like work, but writing 400 pages of science fiction is like playing. Anyone have any advice at editing something? I try to put it in between...

This is mostly me venting than anything else. In class today, a writing intensive class, we did peer reviews. I read three other papers and my thoughts are, "GODDAMN IT WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?" We had finished reading "Republic," by Plato of course, it is a political theory class, so it was...

I am going to keep this shorter than my usual threads... yeah I know I've said that before. Has anyone else every noticed when they start to explain a concept or idea to another person(s) they end up making some profound statement that was almost on accident and it changes others views? I think...

I absolutely adore it, it is probably the most beautiful musical instrument there is. Here is a random, yet really good youtube of a lady playing the harp. Harp Pachelbel Canon in D - YouTube If I had the money I would want to learn to play the harp, hell I don't have the money and I've...

What is a good audio recording software? Well one that is free that is, I don't like buying stuff.

I am posting this because of how much it excited me. Today I discovered the climbing wall at my university in our wellness center thingie. That wall is the most amazing and fun thing I have ever experienced in a while. Climbing to the top is extremely exhausting, but it is so fun! Has...

I thought of this idea last night before I went to sleep so I want to see if it makes any sense to anyone. Commonly people see extraverts as unintelligent. (edited thanks to thoumyvision) Also commonly introverts are seen as intelligent. (edited thanks to thoumyvision) But I find both...

I am making this so the Pod'lair arguments can stop cluttering perfectly good threads that could possibly mean something. I hear claims that Pod'lair has never lost an argument, but all I've seen was avoiding serious questions and saying we are right because Thomas said we are, of whoever the...

When I am alone I tend to put my big noise cancelling headphones on and sit there without anything playing through them, this can happen for hours and I don't even notice it. Does anyone else do this? I am ENTP but I assume I am not the only person in the world that does this, I don't even...

I just had the most excitable discovery I've had in a while! While reading "Republic," on book II Glaucon details an old Greek story about a shepherd, I found where J.R.R. Tolkien got the entire idea of the ring and the entire morality surrounding it. My philosophy professor did tell me that...

Formally I had been mostly attracted to introverted females, mainly INxx, but recently I discovered I am attracted to almost all the types. Though within this, I have no attraction to a female if she does not have intelligence, which is easily discovered within a quick chat. The only types I see...

This is in no way to bash INFJs, I am merely trying to understand so I had to describe my negative experiences here, I can also describe my many positive experiences if you wish, to be honest, I've had more positive experiences with INFJs than any other type thus far. If I wanted to bash any...

I don't see speed limits, only speed suggestions. Does anyone actually drive the speed limits? I do sometimes when I am extremely tired, but mostly on a 55mph lane, I am going about 90mph if I can and there is no slow person keeping me back. When I started driving I always kept 55mph, but...

Just finished "Brave New World" and just started "1984," and right off I notice something odd. Extreme specifications, almost to the point of absurdity. First page, I see a man going to his flat and while doing so we are told every damn detail, even a brief medical history haha, I am extremely...

So I just finished "Brave New World," absolutely genius. When the Savage was talking to Mustapha I felt something... it was like my entire world changed. At that moment I wished I was Helmholtz going to the island with the bad weather, I wanted to feel what the Savage brought to them, what...

[I guess this goes here, if not someone can move it to where it should go and remove this comment.] I made thread once upon a time with a clip of this with the hopes of adding more things I've written, but I disappeared from the forum, so here is the full story. I wrote this for a class, so it...

Why am I posting here? No clue really, never did before when I started. Maybe it is the fact that I've "disappeared" for a long time, not really, just a couple months. I'm sure no one noticed, I didn't haha. Anyhow. Now that my semester is over in school, waiting for this damn summer to end so...

I took a glance around and didn't find this topic, which with my internet abilities haha, it could be here, so here it is. Anyhow. I essentially have problems going to sleep essentially. Have always had them since I was a little kid. My mind never wants to calm down, it is just too active. I...

Has been a long time since I have done any form of visual art, probably around 8 years. I have started to try it again, and here is one of my latest pieces of crap haha. I am just hoping I will get better, the colours were not near as dark as I needed them to be, but oh well.

http://www.personalitypage.com/cgi-local/build_pqk.cgi Found this on accident, not sure how useful it will be, bit figured the parents on the forum may find this useful.

I have been trying to figure out why I seem to have a memory that far exceeds the rest of my family and friends and I have theorized that there are 4 types of memory. Sensory memory. Reflex memory. Muscle memory. Mental memory. There may be other types, but I can't seem to figure anything else...

What is an insult? I find it odd that other people get insulted. I am sure I do, but I cannot recall any instance in which I was actually insulted. It is not that I am arrogant, I just don't see things that way. I admit I have lived long enough to learn when something is meant as an insult...

Shaving my face has been pissing me off for the past 8 years probably. I have calculated every possible way to shave that my human mind can think of. Every type of razor I find and buy fails. This morning really annoyed me. Oddly enough these damn razors just leave hair on my face, not...

I am in conflict, I need advise from someone who has done the whole college game or anyone else would be fine. Here is my conflict, I am stuck between colleges to transfer to since I will be graduating from this 2 year CC this spring. One costs significantly lower than the other but the price...

I at times feel I have went insane. I spent my entire high school life professing to be insane. I constantly fight against myself. I feel I am evil and I enjoy it. I deceive people. I play tricks on them and they never know it. I construct events just to see how people react. I don't lie to...

Well my laptop, which is my only working computer, is starting to kick the bucket. So in the next month of so I will have to buy a new one or I never be able to come back here again or do my school work and worst of all I will be isolated for wiki...:eek: So here is the thing, I am going to...

When I played this game in high school it was my single most favorite game, I loved it, I never wanted it to end. It had everything an ENTP would want, melee/range combat combo, magic and some nice defensive abilities like the shield bubble thingie. I have never seen a game come out like this...

I have been writing things for many years, mostly fiction, and I wondered when I let people read my things - especially if it was during a class in-which we read each others papers and told people how we felt about the paper - that they were not being honest. I realize they may have motives to...

Ok this will be a work in progress, going to write some before I get to tired. This will cover mythological figures, gods, or anything really. So don't take offense if you believed thing turns out in here since not everyone believes the same so I will not discriminate against anything and I...

Well found out today that I am no longer a Pisces, but an Aquarius. The only reason I find this slightly interesting is because I am currently taking an astronomy class and next week we are going over ancient astronomers so I figured I would post this under here to add to later after I find more...

I had went through the functions not to long ago and separated them via dominate functions and found something very interesting. Ne: ENFP, ENTP Se: ESFP, ESTP Te: ESTJ, ENTJ Fe: ESFJ, ENFJ Ni: INFJ, INTJ Si: ISFJ, ISTJ Ti: ISTP, INTP Fi: INFP, ISFP At first glance there is not much of a...

Ok the thread I made on F functions has helped me quite a bit at understanding people better and helped me not run people away. I had thought that fixing a car over the summer would have helped my lack of noticing things but it hasn't much, some but not much. I know it is a work in progress...

Well this is evidently my favorite author. The only books that come close to his is Phillip Pullman's "The Dark Material." Currently I am reading OSC's "The Pathfinder," which I am loving. It starts off with such grace and sadness, venturing onto greater matters which I will not deal with. Like...

After much contemplation I must deduce that I don't feel true emotion, as in my emotion, it doesn't exist. I am a vampire of sorts, I steal or borrow the same emotion others are using, or are experiencing. My only true emotional state is the same, I smile, I think. I find enthusiasm in...

Ok are you more prone to be attracted to someone who is shy or the opposite, which I think is outgoing? I am thinking something so I am making this pole. Adding the middle option for those who may fall there. I am wondering if this has to do with the person's typology whether they think what, so...

I need to know if this is something that is wrong with me. I am sure people here who have read my odd theories have noticed I have different definitions to common words than most people. I have now encountered that my idea of the word manipulate was completely incorrect and I had been using it...

Is there anyway to develop my F function? :elephant:

I am wondering, and I will keep this short, are there any other types that have as much of an ego problem as ENTPs? We do think we are awesome, and we think everyone else does too. Also I am not sure where this goes but I placed it here. Also this is partly into me trying to fix my own ego...

Ok I looked with the search thing but couldn't find anything on this. Albeit I am not good with that thing. Ok here is the question. Are types formed at birth or do we formulate cognitive functions as we develop? Since we cannot really change our personality and our brains work the way they...

If you don't feel like reading my normally sized post, skip to the *** section. I have read the profiles on INTJs but I have never ever met anyone that fits in it. I can almost find anyone in any other profile, I had thought ENFPs were myths, until I studied more on it and realized I knew a...

Ok I have a tendency to just quite playing WoW for about 6 months then go back again. And each time I do go back I find my account has been deactivated by blizzard. I end up having to send in an appeal to get my account back, I am really getting annoyed with doing this. Does anyone else have...

I am not sad anymore, so a bit on my experience with some things in life. I recently experienced a thing we call depression, was my first time. If I am honest it was interesting. I felt cold, lonely, and numb, other thing too but those were the dominate feelings. I think I can learn from this...

Well probably. I have been thinking, because in my past there seems to be a common theme. At the end of a relationship I start getting weird feelings a couple days before the shit hits the fan. Either I experienced a near mental break down just days before I had it out with the ex, or I somehow...

Ok for a while I have wanted to do philosophy as a major. I want a PhD in it. But I also know my long dream of being a physicist is still very real. I love physics, in middle school I studied quantum physics, started learning about cosmic back ground radiation. I have always used my...

I don't know if anyone has posted this but I think I have noticed something. I tend to sometimes find myself doing what my opposite the ISFJ would do. Like somewhere inside me is the need to be a martyr, not sure why. I am usually not like that, but I realized just a while ago I have...

I have been wondering something, I have read the profiles of the types, and it seems they think extroverted people in relationships are more likely to cheat or something of that sort than introverts. From reading a lot of things here I have noticed most of you INTPs have less of a need to stay...

Was wondering, I know ENTPs are credited to having short attention spans, it is true. But I have also read that ISFPs have even short attention spans. What I am wondering: (A) Which type tends to have the shortest attention span? (B) Which type tends to have the longest attention span? (C) Who...

Ok I am not sure where else to put this, but I was wondering what these two would be typed as. I am thinking Pinky is an ENTP. Of course I could be wrong since it has been a long time since I watched it, but it seems right to me. Brain I would have no clue. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok I am getting sick of Windows, just a hassle. I need advice at which Linux based operating system would be good to install on my laptop. I am more importantly concerned with doing school work, games I couldn't care less about. Also I want something that should be workable with some stupid hp...
