Not true at all. Many of our theories and knowledge are extremely imperfect and that has not stopped us building everything from computers to working fusion reactors(ok the net energy is not great). You can optimize up to the point of your knowledge then you come up and with new ideas and try...

It is beneficial to have a diversified range of types. There is always a cost to any choice. The black plague that led to greater resistance to disease for many Europeans conversely made them more susceptible to fungal infection. Iron is necessary for blood platelets and carrying oxygen, but...

"A Ti, will be more intrinsic and subjective with it's implementation. The system is applied for his own personal gains. In fact, the logic of the system will seem very unique only to himself, his reasoning bonded to his own affect. The Te takes a more extrinsic approach. Similar to law, it...

I am voting Si. The reasoning being that with Te types I typically find they believe there should be rules everyone should abide by, and I have successfully convinced them of their hypocrisy of those rules. Te dominant types I find to be inconsistent in reasoning but at least I can reason with...

I disagree. The time is past when even illiterate people can improve things. More than ever system analysis is the way forward, this is our time.

redbaron is correct. I believe Buckminster Fuller said something along a similar line to redbaron's reasoning. Arguing with people can be a waste of time, typically people are loss averse they need a new system to switch to, just explaining theirs will lead to negative results is not enough.

Well I wouldn't say everything is connected, but that many things are linked that some would not think are at first. For example the Arab Spring revolts, and the revolution in Syria. Syria is undergoing its worst drought in ~1000 years and the food price index at the UN when it breaches 200...

Overarching authority, excessive conformity, having to support systems doomed to failure, human's pack animal nature, negative eroei, exponential curves vs finite resources.

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 1.1. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations. Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 4.3. Secondary psychopathy...

Where ISTJs do have an issue, is they tend towards workaholism. They HATE being sick and/or on holiday. After 2 days, they want to get back to work, even when they have been really sick, and need to stay in bed to recover fully. We're often completely clueless of time. Empirical beats theory...

I work in laboratory and run multiple instruments. I find the ISTJs in particular are actually ignorant of past machine behaviour. I will point it out and even show evidence with logs and database info, while they will just ignore and come up with the most wack job reasons. All of ISTJs I find...

I was married to an ENFJ for years. I think you may wish to reconsider your actions. Scorpiomover is absolutely bang on. I would also add I think they are attracted to INTPs principled nature. However if you are going to date/marry one, I hope you like romance and getting out and doing...

Going back to Ne tertiary Cherry Cola, I believe it is the source of ESTJ and ESFJ stubbornness. I find those two personality types more than any others, you can present the facts and no matter what they will just not believe you. It could even be the fucking 2nd law of thermodynamics and they...

Thanks for picking that up Nick, that is actually what I meant. Good explanation as well. I am merely a layman, so merely reasoned it out. If life is merely enthalpy of the universe, then in a way I think you could take it as the meaning of life is simply to express oneself.

An inevitable expression of the entropy of the universe.

Humans are a pack animal, so "negative" emotions while necessary will have a negative bias against them to maintain overall group cohesion.

No offense, but I dont know how INTPs can pick ISFJ so high up the list. 1. ISTP(most consistent reasoning of S types, most likely to be fair) 2. ESTP( In general wont control you or put any bounds on you. Expecting you to be part of the team and conform while never spelling it out is annoying...

By your logic Salmoneus, Hitler wasnt that bad. He did't execute any of the Jews directly afaik. Afaik also the main person for coming up with the Final Solution(forget which one) was known to have been physically ill at the sight of a mass execution. Was he not culpable as well? Does it mean...

Father: INTP Mother: ISFJ StepFather: ISFJ StepMother: ISFJ Sister: ISFJ Halfsister: ISFJ Stepbrother1: ISFJ I think. SJ definitely Stepbrother2: ISFJ I think. SJ definitely. Stepbrother3: ISTJ I think. SJ definitely. My parents divorced when I was 7. Both remaried. Stepfather already...

1. When not at work, mostly gaming and drugs, browsing forums, reading wikipedia or other sites for information(whatever takes my fancy). Recently stopped all sports, sick of to death of the social group antics. 2. IXTP. Fairly sure that I am a Ti dominant, bias towards INTP. 3. Hmmm. I...

Cross dominant. Highly dependent on activity. Left typically is better at precision while right seems more power orientated.

A quote from the wiki "A primary purpose of Keenan's lyrics for Tool involves a desire to connect with the listeners on a personal level; to encourage them to look within themselves for self-identity, understanding and reflection." Connection on a personal level is very Fi. There is also a...

Reading Maynard Keenan's wiki he comes across as an INFP.

Should not déjà vu be a common occurrence to INTPs?

I would have INTP(some ENTP might be allowed) behind the scenes think tank while sticking an INTJ/INFJ/ENTJ management team in place to implement current best understanding.

To strive continuously for improvement in our intellectual and ethical understanding and its promotion in the individual and society. To have no fear to express oneself, as you see fit with honest conviction. To be able to reason for ones beliefs. Consistency in the application of...

INTP, INTp, ILI, 5w6. I vaguely remember tri-type, I think I was 514.

I know two ISFPs and 1 INFP. INFP seem not just good at "listening" but to understanding and perceiving sound in general. Natural audio engineers in a way. ISFP. They seem far more likely than all the other types I have seen to do little drawings everywhere to make something look nicer...

Beholder your statement about the ENTJs taking shits naked was hilarious. One of my best friends is an ENTJ and at party he got too pissed and went to his bedroom and closed the door. Later while the party was still going, he emerged from the room fully naked, walked out of the house and took a...

Interesting. Most of my friends and my ex-wife are all EXXJs. I have been told it is because I enjoy the conflict. I personally think it is because they are they most willing to challenge my ideas and offer different views. My country doesn't have a very strong culture of debate.(Supposedly...

It drives me nuts to have any watches, rings or long sleeve shirts. I terribly dislike any feeling of restriction around the hands and lower arms. I will consistently roll up sleeves unless it is very cold. I will even wear thermal t-shirts so I can get away with not wearing long sleeves or...

Ok. Way out there. I used to have unbelievably vivid dreams when younger, and I would swear I predicted future events within my social circle. In some cases I felt it let me alter the outcome. These have become less frequent as I get older and had had more responsiblities and a greater circle...

I am sure I have seen information before showing nightowls to typically be smarter than early birds. So I would expect N types to be nightowls on average.

What an interesting thread. Noxious, my personal opinion is it depends on your upbringing, and what it may force you to repress and express. The first test I ever did I tested as INTP. Since then I have tested slightly more INTJ than INTP. Twice I have tested ISTJ(though one of those said I...

Did anyone notice that on the same day as the shooting in the US in Newton, that a Chinese man stabbed 22 children in China. ALL the chinese stab victims survived. This is the reason why better gun control is needed, because with other weapons the chance of survival is higher. Esp as there is...

I think Christopher Walken is an INTP or INFP. Mostly based off reading an article with quotes from Walken. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10854068

After being married to an ENFJ I have to strongly disagree with you on this.

1) Economic Theory That life is existing. While living, you do shit. You want to enjoy life and do things. What type of shit do you do? Work and play, sleeping and eating are functions that support work and play. Or another way of seeing it is economic output is price value attached to people's...

Hello Bre(Clarice) FFFFFFFFFF :twisteddevil:

OK I shall offer my 2 cents. My flatmate is an INFJ. The plant lab team leader I work with is an INFJ, a soil lab worker I have trained is an INFJ and the partner of my ISTJ boss is an INFJ. I think my karate Sensei is an INFJ too. I have noticed they do seem to be good at most things when they...

I like ENFJs. I consider them quite nice, and to have more of a general goodness slant to them, even if I consider their logic fucking ropey. On a side note I think ISTJs are criminals many times as it provides the structure and family that maybe their shit upbringing didn't provide. SJs love...

Welcome! Also spooky possums. Much of your posts I can relate to. But I bet we can all to a degree. Having said that some I find a bit more spooky. I studied Finance and economics as well. However I dropped out and still love studying economics on the side when I feel like it. I was...

Agree with the OP and various strands of what others said. To fkn lazy to be bothered quoting the specific parts. I would note from a fairly youngish age, family has meant nothing to me, so if someone dies I am more likely to feel sad If I liked the person. Genetic closeness always seemed like...

Agree with Hadoblado. I work with two INFJ women. I find them pretty easy to get along with. Also I find because of their strong values and opinions(even if not stated) they can get quite particular about certain things. If it is something not important, try not to be a classic INTP and de...

Well in that case I guess you could argue eating is the opposite of shitting, but what about farting? Farting is a a by product of gases from the digestive process. You don't put in gas, but you do expel it. So what would be the opposite of farting?

Shitting? You can't un-shit and eating is not the opposite of shitting, as vomiting/regurgitating would be the opposite of eating. Farting? Well some people do talk a lot of shit and it is the opposite end of the body....

Physical force as a means of discipline I consider the absolute last resort. This is brilliant!! You can expand on it further as fear can also comes from a lack of understanding. If you promote fear, for me, you are de-emphasising understanding. I had the wooden spoon broken over my leg...

Gah I meant 2nd link not 1st in previous post. Anyways... Ti 96% Ne 95% Ni 80% Si 78% Te 70% Fi 58% Se 35% Fe 9% Ha, I almost got a twitch reading the Fe list. Se was pretty awful too with the exception of the 1st 3 items on the list, which were very strongly me. I think though that is...

If you were a shy extravert, wouldn't that predispose you towards solo/less ppl activities that are outdoors? Whereas an introvert wouldn't necessarily need or want to be outdoors as much?

Moocoow, actually with me it applies to everything and I mean it. Doesn't matter if it is an actual organisational structure or technological structure or certain philosophy or cultural convention, or the structure of a scientific model etc. If talking to someone or, reading, writing, watching...
