are you still here, as well?it has been a very long time, old friend

you spoke of integration. how long have you been using your rational faculties to try to understand? perhaps you need to be less rational, rather than more. using your emotions is a part of integration, and you have indicated that yours are... well, to put it frankly, stunted I have many...

I apologise for being so direct and / or abrupt, but from what you have posted in this thread, it seems that a different perspective might be useful for you, as it was for me. so, I must ask: have you ever considered that this "unknown person"... could actually be you?

hello all I was here, many years ago. I wonder how much has changed, and how many users have been cycled through in my absence. the celtic cross is gone (never mind, that's only on the inferior mobile version). kinda disappointing to be honest. then again, many things were different, and not...

I use Linux because it's a beautiful system. Ultimately you can do whatever you want with it, and you are given a rich set of tools with which to go about doing things. Shell scripts, make, and gcc are absolutely indispensable. I realize what Linux has the potential to be, but the average...

Having mixers at all fairly obviously change the experience. It is quite different to, say, have a rum and coke than it it to have a couple of shots of vodka. All things in their proper time and according to their proper desires.

This thread is interesting because it has a fairly simple premise but can potentially relate to a ton of different things. If you have answers, give them up. We don't even care to apply that knowledge, we just want to KNOW! Perhaps some variant of presentism? As for myself, I am more of a...

Maintain awareness and control over both the environment and your own mind, and be proactive towards manipulating both in such a way you can easily do anything you want to do. This is not easy to do...

Time does not exist. I seem to bounce quickly from one task to another, even if I have not satisfactorily completed the first task. Exploration and knowledge have always been my primary drive, for the more I learn, the more I am capable of learning. To that end, I always intend to come back to...

For one, that matter is almost entirely empty space.

My biggest problem with most of the people I interact with in real life being less intelligent than me (this is not arrogance, it is a pure and simple fact) is not being able to have personally meaningful and satisfying conversations with others. I find it to usually be the case that, in group...

Most courses of study merely involve memorizing copious amounts of information and then regurgitating it on assignments / tests, in other words they are very Si-centric. These always bored me to tears, and thus I had no motivation to succeed in them, and so usually ended up with average marks...

INTJ's also deal with perfectionism and idealism, in the sense that they seek to strip down anything to its bare essentials. Inefficiency is waste, and the less that is wasted, the more that is possessed. Another key difference between TiNe and NiTe is divergence vs convergence. Ti seeks closure...

I relate to almost all of the description presented in the OP, so I have to wonder exactly how TiNe and NiTe differ. Especially with regards to forming mental frameworks, using associations to master understanding of systems, creating a web of knowledge where ideas and information is...

An addendum to my previous post in this thread: There have been a few people who have asked me about Linux in the past. They seem pretty interested when I tell them it's free, but they seem much less so when I tell them I have spent countless hours configuring my systems to be how I want them...

Is making an "Ask me anything" thread what the 'cool kids' do nowadays?

It kind of baffles me that you created this thread with the express purpose of clarifying why, in fact, you are NOT bashing Ni-dominants, but instead merely "stating the truth", when your entire OP is almost nothing but ad hominems directed towards Ni-dominants, and the rest of the thread is you...

I consider myself to be more or less a power user with both, so I will say this: Linux is my first love, and Windows is something I use only because, for various reasons, I have to. I don't suggest anything. I couldn't care less what OS other people use.

I would say that there are perhaps correlations amongst types and certain psychological disorders, but there is, of course, no hard rule concerning it. There are many potential ways various functions could coalesce and materialize into neuroses. It is also worth noting that MBTI and pure...

This thread perfectly resembles what would happen if INTPs did try to plan world domination.

Merely to answer the OP's question, 100% I think.

You seem pretty alright. Perhaps the people dressed in black robes will not drag you away in the dead of night while you are sleeping, never to be seen here again... [/FORESHADOWING?]

Do I ever get tired of being an NT? Sometimes. Do I ever have a desire to share an emotional experience with others? Very rarely (it's probably more of an Fe thing). I still feel things, it's just in a more abstract and distanced way. The best way I can describe it is as a deep unconscious...

*looks at Human Relations subforum* Yeah, INFPs should definitely be coming to INTPs for relationship and personal problems.

INFP's are kind of weird generally but other than that they are alright.

-deteriorating sense of mental balance -desire to destroy significant subset of human population heightened -general anxiety and restlessness This whole thread is #introvertproblems

I am absolutely sure I am dominant Ni. This description is probably true for a strong Se type, but it is absolutely false for myself, except sometimes. I get how this is supposed to work in contrast to Si / Ne , but there are likely better differences between these two function pairs. The point...

While I am not personally majoring in math, I ran into proofs in high-school geometry and haven't heard anything about them since. I imagine university-level proofs and quite a bit more rigorous and detailed. I think it really depends on what you do with your time. Certain fields afford one the...

I think it is more the case that different types get bogged down for different reasons. I doubt a strong Se user could get distressed by too many external stimuli, but inversely I (inferior Se) tend to mostly ignore external stimuli and easily get tired or anxious if I am forced to pay attention...

You can set it up so that you can save the PMs you send to people. User CP -> Edit Options -> Private Messaging

The Law Abider You scored 45% empathic, 24% delusional, 49% sociable, and 34% law-abiding! You aren't particularly empathic and you might be prone to manipulating people, but at least you follow the law. Instead of...

+1 Sorry, your misinterpretation of my post afforded me the perfect opportunity to make that alt account joke. However, for sake of clarity: my assertion that "There is no way this is serious." was in response to the OP, not in response to your response to the OP.

Did you just admit to iHeartCats being your alt account?

Merely referring to the people who have posted very obviously not abrasive music. I suppose a case could be made, but perhaps I have just listened to so much metal that its more difficult to digest aspects have become normal for me. I listened to most of the tracks you posted (although I...

Right? There is no way this is serious.

In my experience there has not really been a case of maths classes being progressively harder or higher in terms of material, but instead one of many disciplines and methods of problem solving existing in a sort of concurrency, as all of these disciplines share core definitions, formulas, and...

I personally find it mind-blowing that the Great Purge of 2014 was Great enough to spur / warrant the creation of a subforum for lamenting those lost.

Who would have thought that INTPf had some trolls? ... I have historically listened to little noise. In the experience I have had with it, it didn't resonate with me very much. I have a bit of breakcore, flashcore, and power electronics, but I wouldn't really call any of it good. I don't...

Hi.

intpforum.com/search.php?do=getnew There is a "New Posts" button at the top in the quick links box.

Absurdity and DelusiveNinja: Good to see I am not the only one. Back when I took my first test and got INTP, it seemed spot on. The phenomenon that more knowledge can lead less to certainty is a peculiar one. I also got the impression that Ne is what we are seeing in the playful side of...

In the past few weeks I have begun to see mentions of this notion of 'dominant-tertiary' loops. I really had no idea what the term meant until I came across this post. Here are some facts: I identified as INTP for years before switching over to INTJ I have considerd Ni and Ti to be my...

I think you may be an ENFJ.

But what if BOTH of these things are true?!

I get between 50 and 55 on both of these. I remember having to take a keyboarding class in middle school when I knew absolutely nothing about computers and didn't type at all. I managed to bullshit my way through the class but I still really, really hate homerow keys and proper typing...

I personally say, if you are ever given the option, why not try it once? It's (mostly) harmless to smoke every now and then, and you may end up actually liking it. Drugs in general certainly have the ability to expand consciousness and perception if utilised properly. EDIT: Is there even...

Currently almost failing college out of sheer inertia, so yes, all the time.

For a couple of years I have been exploring the subject of gender identity as it relates both culturally and personally. I haven't gotten very far into the territory of the former, but I have basically determined that I have lived the vast majority of my life not at all thinking anything about...

Your list alternates between NF and NT and all perceivers are at the top. EDIT: Personally, I think INTPs are actually pretty cool. As are INFPs, INFJs, ENFPs, and ENTJs. INTJ is alright I guess. EDIT2: There's also this insane pattern in the E and I, it's like two sets that read IEEI and then...

Contingencies, contingencies, contingencies. I find that before I even begin to act, I prefer to know probable evolutions in process and the actions I would take in any given conditional branch. This usually yields an in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of a system and the ability to operate...
