An engineering computing lab has a y columns and x rows of computer stations. It is an empty matrix with set dimensions. In the last week of university when computer station availability is scarce, it's literally a physical representation of a matrix that shares a common factor - student's...

Yep, I mean school work as a Mechanical Engineering in University. The only maths I've ever dealt with as a Masters student is vector calculus and differential equations - mostly in areas of solid mechanics or fluid dynamics so far. My comments on workplaces are just guess work. I did hear that...

From my experience, not sure how Univeristies work where you are, but Mechanical Engineering doesnt have much of a pure math and complex numbers component. At most, Vector Calculus and Differential Equations IF at all. The closest type of Engineering that needed applied/pure maths is Electrical...

I didn't hate people as per say, but as early as 5, I tried to invent some sort of unified theory as to why people behave the way they do. Why do we have to say hello, and jumping around means you're happy, or what's the function of inviting people to birthday parties. Why do parties even exist...

I second that. Logic, the mathemathical way of thinking, is one of the most powerful tools to use in critical thinking.

Perhaps we could all be armchair detectives and be paid for it one day. Programming is fun when you get to learn then possibly lead to making a fancy piece of algorithm. It can be rewarding. That said, not sure about the career itself. I regard programming as one of the most essential skills to...

22 years old and still short of maturity, at times.

Several cognitive tests/hours later, I believe I have caught myself in the classic (or should I say notorious) 'ENTP or INTP' problem. At least I can confirm that I am definitely a xNTP type. I went over a number of profile descriptions online, to which I identified with a bit of both. Then I've...

Really useful and timeless insight given here. I believe people could benefit from this, myself included.

Same as above: nailed it, except I don't get drunk.

That would be really interesting. I accept the challenge. If there is a subforum for this, direct me to it. Else, I'm comfortable with side-tracking to a sub-topic. I'm testing out JCF now since I've only concerned myself with MBTI personality types and always get INTP. If there are any...

Make the group focus on some interesting topic or make them do something that will incite that kind of environment, and immerse yourself in that. If all else fails, you need weirder friends. Participate in a number of weird clubs/societies. Gain a people or two who can get into next...

Nope, totally acceptable to try deducing my type. If anything it is a token of knowledge. Grudgingly, though I've accepted my type, I've always tried to prove the MBTI wrong :P I have been thinking cripplingly hard. Perhaps the one thing that I can say about myself is that I'm poor at...

What is your name? Not important. Where are you from? I've lived in several countries and don't belong perfectly to one. I can't answer this question. How old are you? Early 20s What's your gender? Female How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? A friend made me do it 2...

Sitting in an early morning Fluid Dynamics Tutorial. I was late. I cant be arsed, let me just copy everything and deal with things later. I know some of these concepts I guess. the person next to me is competent. crunching papers. he'll grow up to be a good engineer. But everyone started...

I can't speak for others here. I used to be a social cripple when I was younger, but with years of getting out of my comfort zone, I got better. The problem now is not being shy, it's more of whether I can fork out enough energy for maintaining short conversations.

Double post, but just while we're on the topic... Any other INTPs doing Engineering out there? Would love to hear how you're doing with it (university/work/etc) ^_^

Thanks everyone for replying! I really appreciate your help. Australia, if that is of any relevance.. On my way to masters, it's actually compulsory for me to do fundamental subjects by the Electrical, Software and Civil Engineering Department. I'm certain mechanical suited me best out...

Yeah, I'm not entirely too sure if it will be a disadvantage.. I should hope the University will consider and weigh it in equal fairness. I eventually went into majoring Mechanical Engineering, and here I am in Masters. :) Though in my journey (because my University is weird) I've dealt with...

Howdy, Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to give you a sound advice, as I am in a bit of a predicament myself. Hopefully I'd give you a sound warning in exchange though. I was once as interested in that side of physics back in high school. In University, I took a first year level physics that...

No. I don't like the TV with all its commercials. It makes me sick, because it tries to grab your attention in so many different places. I only own a TV for my gaming console.

I personally think some anime has more depth in them than most western cartoons. I mean, they have a wonderful spectrum. Aside from the bland recipe of shojou and shonen anime (and avoiding altogether any icchi types), they are curiously weird and pleasing. Some slice of life genre resonates...

Your thread topic made me chuckle. Somehow you've summarized my whole dilemma. Sit down, kids - I'll tell you a story. I have always been inclined to art, the kind of art you've described. I like making my own worlds, base some interesting/plot-twisting/visual narrative to what I draw. Then...

Hey folks, new member here. Somewhat hesitant because though I've received multiple assessments saying that I am an INTP, my greatest quality would be an intuitive thinking type, and probably less so of anything else. Anyway, I am studying Masters of Engineering (Mechanical) and I'm finding...
