I get along easily with any other NT's. (To be honest, maybe least of all INTP's, though.) I can have an understanding relationship with NF's, but no true connection. Relationships with any xSxx type tend to vary from complete ease via disinterest, to bitter disgust that brings out the worst...

I'm sorry that you feel that way. (Canned response, I know.) I completely understand your post, perhaps that's just me, but it reads very easily. You're very much right that intuition gives us certain advantages over people, meaning we must choose our actions carefully. I don't understand...

Of course. But everyone can only speak from their own point of view.

You aren't supposed to know what's important to you yet. Life is about exploring that, and finding that out, and gaining experience and knowledge and greater comfort in the face of challenge. Peronally I find indecisiveness to be one of the most intolerable states of mind to be in. If you're...

Well, it's all very theoretical to try and link this kind of thing up with MBTI. (My disclaimer.) But: I think that NT types will likely all have the advantage of being intellectually comfortable enough to venture into a dark realm of thinking, if only to explore it to find an independent...

Every person is born with a different set of innate strengths and weaknesses. "Hardships" may be just the thing some people need in order to learn and grow. For others, it might just tear them down. For others still, it may not end up either hurting or benefitting their character strength in...

Yep! Well, I also noticed a lot of differences once I started posting in this forum. Namely, my life is pretty much dictated by my elaborate plans and personal goals, and I'm also very good at making decisions. It seems these are INTP no-nos. I also took a really good look at the cognitive...

^I definitely agree with you, bluesquid. The people who have really shown me things in my life, really led me to revelations and made me a better person, did so by being very different from me in particular ways.

What is your name? Take a guess. Where are you from? Canada How old are you? 20 What's your gender? Female How did you find out that you were INTP? I found out that I'm INTJ by mistyping myself as an INTP, basically I guess because the INTP description satisfied how...

I would like to announce that I'm in fact an INTJ who has just been in denial, parading around as an INTP all this time. I think some of you saw it coming with some of my posts. Anyways, I have finally come around to this. That's all ...thanks for listening. :D

I'm a "night owl", but I don't think it's my personality, I think it's a genuine health problem. I actually feel my best in the morning after a good sleep, not at night. But I'm up at night.

MBTI just makes some generalizations, some people fit certain profiles better than others, and I'm sure every one of us has qualities that are uncharacteristic of INTP's. It seems to be quite a good system though, in my opinion. Certainly not something to put complete faith in. I "doubt"...

"Ni" was a typo .. and yes I'm an MBTI beginner, I'm not trying to be any authority on it, apologies if this forum is only for experts. I'm more interested in people's responses about whether they're impulsive, and why they think they are/aren't. As I said, it's an aspect that eludes me.

This is all assuming that the "most evil" personality is a mastermind who crafts perfect schemes of evil deeds, and has the lack of morality and proficiency of follow-through to turn these schemes into action. To me, even if what that person does is offensive, it's still on some level very...

This is a new definition of "morality" to me. I looked at some online definitions, and your idea was certainly among them (morality simply being a certain code of conduct), but the more widespead conception of morality implies that the idea of "right" and "wrong" must exist. So I guess it...

Very interesting. The most frightening moments I've experienced were all evoked by unnatural sounds. Unrelated, but this makes me think of how the vibration in the universe left over from the big bang resonates on a B-flat twenty or so octaves below middle C, too low for our ears to detect...

^I agree, if we get suddenly excited by a new concept, our duties still insist that we stick to something old and uninteresting. It really inhibits creative potential. The reason I thought impulse might have to do with Fe is that impulse (to me) is such a raw, unexplainable desire, coming...

This is one part of the INTP profile that has me confused. Are we known to be impulsive? Because I sure as hell am. I have always strongly associated that with my procrastination and my inability to finish things that I lose interest in. But I've been getting confused impressions around...

Fair enough. I'm going to brush up on my INTJ knowledge and then reevaluate all of this. Years ago I thought I was an INTJ, until I read about INTP .. (fun fact) ...

Ask what my hourly rate will be.

Yes. Imagine the intellectual capacity of two me's! I'd make us pursue entirely different lifestyles and career choices so that our accumulated knowledge would be super-human. On second thought ... we'd both be paranoid of the other's true intent and always be out to stab eachother in the...

I love body art. Not for ulterior purposes, just to beautify and feel free to control my looks. I have limits though; I wouldn't get something that would cause me inconvenience. Piercings, I only have my labret now, which is my cherished one that I don't think I'll let go of until I'm 80. My...

But morality is an illusion!! :p Ok. Since I can't go that route ... In my personal life, I wouldn't have a problem being that person because it's not my problem if someone else wants to cheat on their wife. I don't have much interest in the concept of marriage to begin with; life throws too...

-It's a nice name -Fake identity, difficult to track (just habit now) -I like french names -I like Chloé the french designer label:

People are going to have different definitions of "evil" .. it's hard to pinpoint when you get into the psychology of it. Anyways .. as for INTP vs. INTJ: The J would be more likely to get away with an evil deed because he would plan it well beforehand. However the P would be more likely to...

The ideal situation is you find people to talk to who are enough on your same wavelength that this doesn't happen. But I'm sure you all know how rarely that occurs. I guess I take one of two approaches when this happens ... 1 - Pretend. Just feed them what they want to hear, pretend you're...

Are you talking about parenting? Because in that case I have nooo idea, I think I'm going to be a terrible parent, strategically speaking. In general though, I don't think one ruling method like "tough love" is something you can apply universally. It's only one strategy. Some personality...

I've never had the problem of waking up. Hmm, read my next bit about my method because I think it might have something to do with it. I heard about this theory eventually, after I was already able to lucid dream (also, anyone seen Waking Life? It gets into that idea.) IMHO, that strikes me...

How much do you self-promote? I don't self-promote for attention or for pointless competition. If I really want something and the best way to obtain it involves self-promotion, I'll do it. Or, do you dislike it? What do you think of chronic braggarts? I don't dislike it itself. Chronic...

-When you're taking notes in class, you sometimes find the professor's method of organizing his information is disorderly and lacking in structure, so you wait until all the information has been laid out so that you can re-systemize it before copying the text. Managing to copy everything...

I've been able to do it a lot in the past, but it was with training. I never had the problem of waking up right after becoming lucid. The difficulty I sometimes had was sustaining lucidity and not getting distracted by something in the dream. For me the whole thing was about seeing if I could...

Nope. I'm here to learn. :D

True that each of the 4 letters are a scale, so there's a wide range within F or P. I don't actually have enough MBTI experience to know someone's type intuitively, so perhaps I should rephrase. I have a very hard time getting along with people who are extremely feely and emotional in...

Do you actually believe you're a "monster"? If you feel bad about your selfish qualities, then you're probably actually a good person at your core. I agree with the thinking that all humans are inherently selfish: we have it built into us that helping others makes us feel good in some way. I...

I can motivate myself to work if I really lay it out in my mind and come to the conclusion that it's the best move for long-term gain. Over the years that mental process has become slightly more efficient, enough that I'm at least a bit in a groove with it. The best thing though? Mold your...

I'm new. I'm an INTP, borderline J. I quite like the MBTI system, I only discovered it a couple months ago, and it's actually pretty good. Being INTP, I find it much more engaging to talk with people sharing similar ways of thinking, so this forum should be spot-on. I can't stand F's (sorry...
