Yeah me too. Curse you Adymus... (or perhaps Thanks are in order...). I think I've let the description of INTP, as I've read it... which at first seemed to fit so well... almost tarnish who I really am. I'm really an intensely curious person, and I try to figure out anything that's put in...

I largely believe now that you can set yourself up for success but there is a ton of randomness at play as to if you can achieve it. I have friends who are very bright and pursuing advanced degrees, they've put in the effort but their 'success' (great careers in academia) is still not...

Any of these arbitrary knowledge of a binary sort is very difficult for me to pin down. I was 12-13 or so before I pinned it down. What did it was helping my cousin's play a video game, and I was in charge of giving them directions on a map... I had to be quick on those left and rights...

Don't know. Specifically, I've always thought my emotions were a bit empty... like I didn't have that much emotion. But now when I analyze it a bit more, perhaps harmony is more important to me than logical consistency... but I tend to run to logic because to me it can produce harmony. I use it...

I don't know what you mean by internalizing the language... but when I studied a language I'm really focused on trying to find over riding patterns in the language. This is what I do when I study anything really. I don't even notice the little details they don't register, how it all fits into a...

Long term is okay, actually it's pretty good... the only issue is I'll forget random details or not able to recall stuff I know that's in there. I retain the essence of items in my memory. Short term/working memory is horrible. I seriously have a learning disability or some sort of major...

Oh great, now I'm going to go through many hours of contemplation trying to understand myself... just when I though I had it all figured out... :confused: I do have a strong Ti, and though my Te was barely even used at all though.... I think. Curious how facial features can imply so much...

My Profile pic is me with a smile, really more of a smirk though. Just like in this pic That's my usual expresion of contentment, which doesn't have much emotion behind it. But when I get really silly and happy, I'm pretty uncontrollable and have an expressive smile like the first one I...

Interesting, Smiles are sort of fascinating. Especially the subconscious natural ones. Here's a pic of me with a pretty big smile. I always test INTP. Laughter and humor has always been my only really strong emotion. I can really bust a gut laughing.

I'm smarter than I think I am... I have a horribly slow learning curve, but I'm more than capable of understanding most things. I've had a distorted self-image for so long that I'm only now slowing coming around to actually having above average intelligence... and eventually I'll realize...

I've looked at some job listing in the business world analyst type stuff, and my mind just glosses over all the jargon. I'm sure if I had some sort of in, I wouldn't mind it... but it all seems so boring... and jargon filled in the worst way possible. And yes the corporate world is not for...

So I'm interested in studying this, and I'm basically looking for any info. Here's my current situation, I graduated last spring with a BS in Math minor in Computer Science. After wallowing on the job market for a while I got a job as a math tutor and decided to become a high school math...

I first read the one bite at a time and thought, that's not me. But I didn't see the dunked option, which is what I like to do with my O's. And that's me, in a neurotic sort of way...

I can't get enough of the band Sparks. Lyrically they're something special... and musically they just go off and do their own thing... I haven't met anyone who knows who the hell these guys are... YouTube- Sparks MICKEY MOUSE YouTube- Sparks, When Do I Get to Sing My Way? YouTube-...

I'm pretty weary of labels and whatnot, but I got to find something that works. So I'm in the process of getting diagnosed with ADD through my university. If I was in the right situation, in the perfect job which tapped my creativity had plenty of resources to help me organize and plan my...

I kind of liked childhood, and much of my adult life has been trying to recapture those inexplicable childhood sensations. I was much more expressive, open and blissfully unaware of my surroundings. But I was also content to stick to myself. It was very easy for my parents to let me play...

I'm okay with Muscle Memory, but it's inconsistent. It takes me a long time to get it into memory but once there it sticks pretty well. The best example is probably a musical instrument. I can go along learning the instrument, slowly building up the required muscle memory. But despite my...

I like it. I started with the original Guitar Hero, now I play Rock Band. I don't like what Activision has done with the Guitar Hero franchise. I'm to the point where playing the Guitar part of these games is sort of boring. It's fun if I just want to relax and enjoy music in a...

I hate the word commingled. And plenty of other words with the prefix co. I got into a discussion during a meeting about the word commingled, and I argued it was a useless word since it has the same meaning of mingled. I'm not allowed to do meetings anymore... :( :cool:

I use a mac and a PC... they both have their place. I tend to hate Apple advertising, and the 'aura' about their products and users... to the point that it was nearly a detriment to buying a Mac. I use a Mac and will continue to use one for basically one reason: Logic Studio is a fantastic...

Have you done any math beyond 'number crunching'? Solving equations and the rules are boring, at that level its basically learning how to use a tool. Statistics and accounting... that sort of boring stuff... not so great... There's math of much more significant interest. Gödel's...

Revolver. Many of the songs resonate with me lyrically and musically, most of the Beatles output only do one or the other. I'm much more interested in experimental Beatles than conventional.

English and Literature are good subjects, because some ideas just can't be conveyed in any other way. I'm not one to read fiction and find much of it boring, but some of it is truly thought provoking. English classes, much like high school math classes, seem to constrain and tarnish the true...

Both math and music are very pattern based. And there are a ton of numbers in music, more so than many other art forms. I'm really into Math, I have a BS degree in it. Science is okay, but I'm much more drawn to the purity of math. I sometimes don't like science when I can't follow the...

I thought up this, but not being a hard core physicists... I'm not sure how apt it is. I really just get enough understanding to ponder the philosophical connotations. I was thinking the uncertainty of particles would be analogous to a speaker. With a definite frequency that one can hear, you...

I don't disagree with you Toad. I do get annoyed at students who constantly correct a teachers little mistakes, I'm fully aware of being human and making mistakes... I make mistakes all the time. This was different though, and in a way my asking questions is my way of understanding the topic...

I plan on teaching high school math. To me, math is more than learning all the requisite information... outside of basic arithmetic and simple skills like making change stuff learned at the grade school level... it's about much more than what is being presented. It's really about solving...

I don't know, I never really fit in with any group that well. Even amongst people similar to me, I feel like I'm on the periphery. I haven't tapped into my silliness, have a good time mode much here... I don't know if it will ever happen. It rarely does online... I think my posts...

It's pretty wild, some of the most ignorant worthless teachers I've had are doing teacher education. What really got me angry is this, "Words to Avoid When Writing a Lesson Objective: Know, Understand." Quoted from a website, and this is exactly what she was saying in class. To me...

I had a job working retail at kiosk that sold random junk, mostly yo-yos and 'sports plaques'. The job was great because the mall was dead all the time and I used that time to study calculus. Most days I would get around 10 customers. I just had to walk up to people, ask if they needed...

I'm in teaching education classes, and I often find myself fundamentally disagreeing with what is being taught me. It usually bubbles below the surface as a tiny bit of anger. Today I decided to speak up a bit. We were learning about lesson plans, and that lessons plans should have...

I'm going as The Dude... But really the costume isn't too far removed from my regular attire.

I love that too, we can be green by buying something... sign me up... :rolleyes:

Interesting, I think I got a sense of that crap when I had a job near chicago. There were so many luxury cars on the road, it sometimes made me physically ill. Especially the SUVs... Working a job so I can make these peeps more money so they can get a better car to impress people, just so I...

Ooh, the mathematics of music! My favorite. Math and Music are two fields that can elicit awe out of me. They seem fundamentally appealing, the patterns of a rhythm... the clever simplicity of a proof. Math reveals something fundamental about the nature of the universe. Music reveals...

I'm a bit curious about the percentages of INTP in the strata of social class. Mostly from a financial perspective, since an INTP isn't going to care about the social part much at all. Also what affects social upbringing has on an INTP, I'd imagine an INTP growing up in a financially well off...

I don't see them as comparable. For the function of transferring information for sure the flash drive is better. But paper has other uses that go beyond what a flash drive can do. Paper is the means to view the information and the information all in one. A flash drive is useless without a...

I like numbers that are highly divisible. 12 and 60 make me happy. Overall though, I don't quite understand the question 'favorite number'... or favorite color. Without a context, I draw a blank... favorite holds no meaning for number... at least to me.

That's pretty messed up, people are okay with pierced ears... and force their babies to get it done... but then complain about other piercing. Isn't having a child's ear pierced just consumerism run amok? "Oh no we need to buy more things, lets put holes in our babies and fill em with...

I do not get the appeal of this at all. I don't hate on people who get this stuff done, but I have no idea why this stuff happens or even why it is getting more popular. I even don't like ears pierced... it makes no sense...

I have a distinct memory for lots of things but its fuzzy. And it isn't really connected to visual or words... it's more of a general memory. Sounds and smells trigger it very powerfully. A certain smell of a soap can bring me back very vividly to a different time and place. I don't...

I used to. Not so much anymore. Chronic nail-bitter though. I also pick at my skin sometimes...

I put some time aside to work on homework... but I find myself diving into the Logic Studio software. I just upgraded to the pro software, and it comes with a ton of synths and effects. I'm learning how to program and set up each one, slowly going through them. Trying to wrap my brain around all...

I took this before, Got Tri-Lamb. Took it again, got the same. 74 % Nerd, 22% Geek, 57% Dork

IPNT-"the deadhead" It fits I guess... I'm becoming more like a hippy as I get older. I have the long hair now... I don't have any plans on getting into drugs though...

Here's mine... http://www.last.fm/user/MegaPixelMusic I haven't consistently listened while scrobbling my music. Plan to do it more in the future. Especially since it tracked the limited library of music I had on my laptop. I really should do a total wipe of my data... My favorite artist is...

I guess the crux of it is well designed... I just haven't found enough of those. Kludge is probably choice of word than cog... I love efficiency though... well designed systems are things of beauty the world needs more of.

Hate it. I have no sense for this stuff, how the internal structure works... who I should be listening to... who has the real power. I usually just ignore it and get in trouble... I also hate being a cog in the machine, having some superficial authority and then having someone have...

Just listened to some Fat Jon on youtube, I like the beats and I would like this in the right mood... a little too ambient for my style though. I like a melody more in the forefront... and a little more variety/changes/unexpected parts. I'll have to listen to more. Prefuse 73 is my kind of...
