Haven't added it to the snapvine box, but here are two snippets of my voice. The first is just me reading a phrase from a book, since I couldn't think of anything, the second is a duck impression I more or less promised to make. And melkor, I'll surely mention you the next time, I just totally...

A few years ago I had a lot of selfdoubt, faith issues if you will. I was home a lot, behind the computer reading stuff, or doing other random thing. Also stare at the ceiling. The self doubt of mine led to me questioning if it was wrong to live my life that way. Everybody else was outside...

I thought you didn't want them to find out you liked them NoID10ts? ;)

This reminds me of a quote in one of Covey's guidance books: To me this is like saying: No matter what you do, no matter what you know, I can always choose my own way, always do what I think is best and decide how to handle abuse by others in the way I see fit.

Why would it be? Its a way of blowing off steam, expressing yourself, letting go. A good cry might help you a lot. I haven't cried for years really. Sometimes when listening to specific music I think I'm about to but it never pulls through. I haven't really cried for over 6 years. And when I...

Vitamin String Quartet is amazing. I really enjoy their tributes. I especially like the U2, Paramore, Dido and The Killers tributes. Also I love classical crossover/classical pop. Sarah Brightman, Sissel, Hayley Westenra as far as vocalists go. Vanessa Mae and Bond as far as instrumental goes...

Your post is full of cute. Also, I think all these INFP's are a trojan horse invading our carefully constructed fortress.

I laugh a lot to funny stuff in columns. I like to read my newspaper in the train, so the laughing makes me a bit uncomfortable then... In general I can say I love to see/read black humor. I don't cry to writings though. The only thing that can do that is music and only very specific pieces...

1. English I use it a lot, and I'm not that good at it compared to native speakers. 2. Japanese I like to watch anime and also listen to some Japanese music. Would be nice to understand it. 3. German Being dutch, being fluent in your neighbors language is something valuable. If I don't...

I'll have to rewatch it again to make a more specific post, but I also loved her character in that movie. I can't say I'd be able to type her, I find it impossible to type anyone but the most extreme. The entire movie was great anyways, especially Josh' part was great as well.

I agree, but its very hard to maintain it after the initial boost has taken effect, at least for me. I tend to do cardio for 3 months, then quit for 3, and on and on. It does work wonders tho.

This reminds me of the show 'The Big Bang Theory'

Welcome to the the forums. I can really relate to what you wrote, I had, and still have somewhat, the same issues regarding INTP-ness as you so this is a most welcome thread.

If you liked Godel, Escher, Bach you might also want to read 'I Am a Strange Loop' which is about the same thing. At least thats what Hofstadter writes in the preface of 'I Am a Strange Loop' The things he writes about how we interact, 'see' eachother, become closer to eachother and eventually...

Last week I had the weirdest dream. Normally when I dream and I wake up I can just play the dream in my head and try to make sense of it. But last week was different. I dreamt about some faceless girl (not actually faceless, just noone familiar) and how we would intimatly cuddle/snuggle. Now...

I'm not sure its about their personality traits. I'm a programmer too and have thought about the same things as you. I always look upon my classmates as if they don't really understand what they're doing and don't even want to know! I'm not annoyed by that, to each their own, but I can be very...

Agree, but sometimes I'm too caught up in stuff to find my way back here. Is it a coincidence this thread/feeling emerged around christmas btw? Days like this tend to bring people closer and actively seek out eachother, at least more than usual. What I like the most is everybodys openness...

Most of the time I can't be bothered with conversation so I just go with it. Sometimes its fun to see the reaction if you reply with how you're actually feeling. 'I'm depressed and sad' usually leads to people trying to skip the subject and gets them pretty confused, because noone actually...

Systemising 39 Empathy 9 Autism 21 Reading Eyes 24 Im not that bad at empathy I think, but its mostly because I dont really care about it I think. Maybe thats the same as being 'bad' at it, but I think I can be empathic if needed.

I've learned not to over-analyze the questions since most people think I'm a nittpicker or something. Some people find it terribly annoying. Now I just take whatever comes into my head first and go with that, which can lead to weird situations.

I've been listening to Hayley Westenra and Sissel alot these past days. Their vocals are amazing...

I'm wondering how you call your friend the most intimate when he didn't invite you. I'm not going to pretend to know a great deal of intimate friendships, but I do know once I think the friendship really matters, the other person already thinks that for a long time. I can't really say I have...

I can't put it in order really but here goes: -Gundam (Wing, Seed, 00) -Code Geass -Hikaru no Go -Full Metal Alchemist -Full moon wo sagashite There are a few other animes I really liked, 5 is just too little!

I've used it for a while, but I havent bothered lately. Maybe I should setup MPD to scrobble tracks again.... The reason why I stopped was mostly cause I can't scrobble tracks from my mp3 player to it (I'm not using a iPod), which was my primary way of listening to music for a while. Anyways...

My room is usually a mess, with papers all over my desk. I scribble alot when working out ideas and so on. The papers are somewhat cluttered over the desk, but I always seem to find them whenever I need them. I do keep my bookshelf organised tho. I need to know I can pick any book from the shelf...

House Heroes Dexter Futurama Friends Star Trek: Voyager Thats about it i suppose. I don't really enjoy Dexter anymore tho. I've read one of the original books and havent cared too much for the show after that.

Introvert , and I have several reasons for abstaining: I don't see the point in drinking. It causes a lot of bad things with little or no positive things. Surely people can't think the headache it causes for a lot of people the next day can be a positive sign? Also I don't like to be out of...

Depends on your definition of reality. I don't see reality as depressing, since it has no such property. The perception of reality, which varies from person to person, can be depressed. So I wouldn't say reality is inherently depressing, it is only our view of reality. That being said I can...

Very informative Decaf. I've been 'struggling' with myself over this issue a bit, since I can relate to both sides of the fence. But I can see now it was mostly because of my lack of understanding of typing. Especially the last lines of your reply made it clear for me.

This reminds me of a question I asked a few classmates a few weeks ago. I asked what instrument they would be playing if they weren't limited by technique/money/training. It seems to be the same question as here, but I can't quite put my finger on the difference right now. Anyways I'd love to...

I kind of like my own voice, but without it resonating through my bones it sounds awful. Maybe I would get used to it if I heard it more often. When debating I find it hard to express whats cooking inside so I tend to pause a lot looking for words I think are easy to comprehend for the...

Yeah I do the same. I actually carry toys around (like a small ball or yo yo) to keep my hands busy when 'idling' I guess that's just some weird thing I do :P Off course when I need to think out practical stuff with structure I don't really do stuff like that, since its harder to focus on...

I've got plenty of invites to that place if you want to check it out, just give me a pm or something.

Not ordered in any way: Gmail Tweakers.net / Gathering.Tweakers.net Intpforum a-very-private-tracker what.cd (music tracker) xkcd/indexed/ctrl-alt-del (comics) slashdot (linux/developers) kerneltrap That's the gist of it really Forums I tend to lurk on daily, I hardly do any posting...

http://xs232.xs.to/xs232/08421/2008-10-13_1280x800_scrot633.png Xmonad on a gentoo box. Really like how you can just script everything together. I like working in the terminal. Browser is on another desktop, but that's pretty boring. Everything is keyboard controlled, including firefox (with...

Yep , I've had some moments where I felt really extrovert. It was strange but it felt like my head was warmer than usual, like it was glowing. As fun as it was tho, it kinda made me nervous somehow. Like feeling out of place. Maybe that's natural since that's not every-day behavior. I can be...

I would say I'm pretty computer literate. I'm really interested in how the entire system works, from CPU architecture to user program execution. I'm currently following courses in operating system design and implementation and compiler construction. I prefer to program in C since its simple and...

Nice test. The sliders make it more fun, but I can't help but adjust the sliders a bit every time I think over my answers. I got reserved analyst out of the test. It could be something different next time tho, since a few of the options (like earthy / imaginative ) are pretty close to 50 / 50...

I don't really have fear towards anything in the sense I would avoid it, but I do have some things I'm (very) uncomfortable with: - Physical contact , hugging, intimacy, kissing someone on the cheeks for his/her birthday. - Large groups of people, especially strangers. - Small talk. I can't...

For me high school was never really hard. Here in the Netherlands we have a 1-10 grade system. I usually tried to finish everything as close to 5.5 as possible, just to make sure I didn't do too much. I never liked classes back then, but looking back I think I should have given math some more...

What is your name? Gerald. Where are you from? The Netherlands. How old are you? 23. What's your gender? Male. How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? I've read about the various types and thought INTP was a good fit. In tests I'm either a INTP or ISTP with 50/50 on...
