One of the reasons for confusion around this topic is that in the 50s and 60s when eastern philosophy was becoming more available in western civilizations a set of words from eastern philosophy got translated as "ego." However a better translation would be "delusions." Destroying the western...

INTPs tend to like people they can share interests with. Don't mind me...just intruding....:elephant:

Love Lateralus. I thought maybe INFJ but I have not done a quality analysis.

No :) I'm not going being sarcastic. I've noticed you frequently make quality posts that demonstrate intelligence.

I'm here to just say that it means nothing. :phear:

Hadoblado is right on. [/thread]

You're a smart guy. That is all.

Yes and those intuitive essences behind things are implied by what is experienced and as real as what is experienced itself.

Ni is a trippy function. To really get it, you need to talk to an INJ on and off about it, and good luck getting them to be able to put it in words. It's described as a "psychic awareness of the intangible." It takes a whole bunch of stuff and searches them for patterns themes and systems...

I felt I've read this before. So I looked at the ENTP one and I was sure of it. After looking at the sections I realized where from. This information is lifted directly from BSM Consulting's PersonalityPage.com site: http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html Just giving credit where credit is...

Hello!

Welcome. I like the name.

That test on similarminds sucks. Here's a better one: http://personalityjunkie.com/type-assessment-test-free-online/ It can be even better, though. Some years ago I was working on a functions based test as an application but never finished. I wanted to use a lot of comparisons and the key...

I'd like to start by grinning about how you "evolved" into an ENTP. :D If only other people could be as evolved as we are! It's true that there's nothing wrong with being INTP, but does type change? This is contentious and I'm often reluctant to believe that someone changed their type. ENTPs...

They're not used much and will be developed only to the extent you practice them, but that will be difficult for you and they are less automatic.

So...only Js can run a business? Is that the premise?

I'm not into this body language typing business...but yes, I agree that Bill Gates is INTP. He didn't think in terms of a sequence of steps, Te style, he thought with principles and understandings of models of information that worked as it flowed (Ti).

Once again, no one has credibly demonstrated psychic abilities in a manner that could be experimentally tested. Such an event would be huge and it would rattle the entire scientific world. Meanwhile, hustlers that con everyday people get exposed on the regular. There is no need to get lost in...

*applauds*

It is highly improbable that all these psychics exist out there but none of them want a million dollars or to illuminate the world by proving to it that these capacities actually exists. Quantum entanglement is not evidence for psychic ability. New Age woo people often like to exaggerate its...

I've had a lot of weird things happen in my life as well. For a little while I was thinking maybe Jung was right about synchronicity and perhaps the Universe was engaged in a game with me. But then I read a really good mathematical argument against it. I no longer have a link but the general...

Regardless, if they have real psychic abilities, then the James Randi foundation will give them a million dollars for simply demonstrating them. No one has ever, with that foundation or any other, demonstrated any testable supernatural abilities.

You're taking this "Bullshit Artist" title next to your name rather far. You're being taken advantage of by hustlers. From conspiracy theorists, pseudo-scientists, New Age woo people, anti-vaccines and now straight up psychics. Why charge you some insignificant fee when they could get a...

More about Nassim Haramein: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nassim_Haramein

I'm a phenomena of the Universe having a sentient experience that came out of the other parts of the Universe and is headed back into it.

I thought it meant what is my type...so ignore my answer.... :storks: I was unable to determine your type from those questions, but definitely not an SJ.

"I don't like being rushed into decisions." is characteristic of INTPs, but not exclusively INTPs. The rest are other aspects of personality.

I was more clear and accurate. :smoker:

In psychology emotions are called affects. Jung was clear that feeling was not affects. Everyone has emotions. Fi is a method of judgement/discernment that relies on subjective affects and personal values. For this reason, emotions can play a more important role for Fi-dominants, but not...

Traditional No need for knowledge and competence No long-term perspective Not absorbed in analysis Don't have precise and accurate language Don't explore concepts and hypothesis Colorful language Present-oriented Preference for directing over informing

Great synthesis of information here. :)

I like the explanation by PersonalityJunkie (http://personalityjunkie.com/the-inferior-function/). His book has descriptions of the role it plays in each type.

If introverted thinking is either your dominant or supporting function, then just exercise detaching from the moment and thinking. Additionally, practice formal logic, categorizing things, mathematics, and weighing pros and cons. These are skills associated with the parts of the brain that...

The Company You Keep. Great film.

Different degrees of interest and I think it's because they think it's too complex. It's easier to appeal to people when you hook into why it is beneficial to them instead of how it's just neat.

What do you think/feel about the 9/11 attacks? Sucked. What do you think/feel about the Boston Marathon bombing? Sucked. What do you think/feel about the Columbine High School Attack? Sucked. What do you think/feel about the Sadie Hawk Elementary school attack? Sucked. What do you...

Look at the previous week - or typical week or month if the most recent was atypical. What were you doing most of the time? I spent most of this past week researching business, management and leadership strategies, Buddhist practices, and working on ENTP.org. I don't know what's typical for me...

"I'm talking about being more approachable and liking it." We extraverts do not have a monopoly on this. Introverts can also be approachable and enjoy social interaction. "what does it really mean to be extroverted?" In the Jungian sense of extraversion, it means that you're psyche is more...

The West Is the Best; from San Diego to Seattle. :smoker:

Perhaps because they are more likely to obsess about solving problems that they do not yet have the solutions for or method of finding the solution, but still keep going through the problem over and over again in their minds. These thought processes come with their associated negative emotions...

I think losing our fear of and concern of death is one of the biggest liberations we can have.

I've felt the same way, Architect. I actually got into an argument with someone about this. The dichotomies are weak. There may be substance to them but that substance is superfical compared to the functions that they result in. These terms, E, I, N, S, T, F, J, P don't mean that much in...

Christianity is significantly more important to history and the cultures of the world than a popstar.

I think Christianity is moderately important. It influences many people in the world, is a part of history and contains some wisdom from the ancients. :smoker:

I think the next big paradigm in programming will come out of bioengineering. There are teams working on programming genes and I think this world of chemical reactions, complex systems, and emergence will lead to new programming paradigms. Then we all die because there was a bug.

Hey TimeAsylums. Great thread. You asked on my visitor messages which books I've read. I've read most of the books on type theory and I've read a lot of Jung including that Red Book you just posted about. Beyond personality theory, I'm really fascinated by Jung's ideas of individuation and...

Great book. A film version came out last year. Also very good.
