I got into MBTI when I was pretty young and always believed myself to be an INTP. As I wouldn't have been a fully developed person at that point haha, and worry that I was pigeonholing myself into a type that I idealized, I was hoping for the opinions of the All Wise INTPForum members. I'm just...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il5K-0DvUdI&feature=youtu.be Any and all feedback welcomed and appreciated. Rather unsure of my type after all these years of firmly believing/identifying as INTP.

I realize this is flaky because the characters are unrealistic, but if you had to guess, what would you? My thoughts: Charlie: ISFJ Mac: ESxP (I honestly can't decide if he's Ti or Fi. Almost seems to fluctuate episode to episode.) Dennis: ExTP (Not sure if Se or Ne. Could imagine either.)...

I've been pretty deeply invested in MBTI for about 3 years now (which all started in this very forum, mind you, although I've been over at /r/INTP ever since I've been using reddit). And, well, I'm beginning to question the overall healthiness and productivity of focusing on MBTI so much. At...

I've come to think that I might be an ISTP. Even though I've seen myself as an INTP for at least 3 years. Can't decide, though. Input would be appreciated. Reasons I suspect I'm ISTP: Looking back on my childhood, I seemed more ISTP than INTP. I was your typical tomboy: loved sports...

INTPs with writing skill that aren't better than average are a rarity, I think. We express our thoughts succinctly unless Ne gets out of hand. Our vocabulary tends to be quite large. There's always a logical flow to whatever we write. Grammar doesn't seem to be something we ever struggle...

You lot are more adept at typing than I am. Or so I believe. I've always been very curious about Martin Freeman's MBTI type. There's a vague thread on him at Personality Cafe, but nobody on there ever justifies their reasoning. Here's a video of Martin being all serious and intellectual...

Or, more specifically, memory palaces. An endlessly intriguing topic. Have any of you ever dabbled? This skill has INTP written all over it: something most would view as pointlessly theoretical and abstract, extremely logical, practically demands the re-construction of pre-existing systems...

Are there any fans here? I imagine that this show is NT heaven. For me at least. I mean, I'm a bit obsessed. Basically, you have an ENTP (Ricky Gervais) and an INTP (Steve Merchant) prodding this absurd, oblivious, slightly aspergian man (who's also probably an INTP, unfortunately) and...

(Disclaimer: I've searched the forum about this/Fe and for some reason no threads appeared. Even though I highly doubt this hasn't been discussed before.) Anyway, developing Fe is essential to being a healthy, well balanced INTP. But how do you go about it? And out of curiosity, how does...

I've been wondering about something, and I doubt it'll come across coherently as I haven't slept in roughly 30 hours, but here goes. I'm good at shortening other people's explanations into something nice and concise. Someone will ramble something off to me, and I'll repeat it 'in a nutshell'...

What is it about INTPs that allows us to bring up an old conversation as if no time has passed? It's definitely not something most other people do. In fact, they tend to be surprised (and occasionally even creeped out) that we remember such trivial conversations. I certainly have a habit of...

INTPs are supposedly content with merely analysing the novel. I'm intuitive dominant through and through, but seriously question how well I fit under that point. I most definitely desire to partake in the novel; to seek thrilling experiences. That sounds like Se, no? The thing is, as I said...

Are INTPs doomed to seeing both the good and bad possibilities? We want the good possibilities to come to fruition, naturally, but our objectivity and general tendency to be pessimistic force us to see the bad as well. It's quite frustrating and discouraging - at least for me. I see what good...

What are your dominant coping mechanisms? Imagine any situation - you're stressed, you're feeling overemotional, etc. How do you deal with it? Personally, I've always favoured detachment and escapism. I can only imagine that that's incredibly unhealthy, haha. :D

I have seen from various forums people's opinions on Holmes' type - in regards to the original books, of course. The most popular consensus for some baffling reason seems to be INTJ, with INTP and ISTP as the runner ups. I maintain that he is an INTP. It's not even a matter of wanting him...

I've been wondering about possible correlations between types and writing styles lately. Does each type have a general style or certain quirks they're likely to adhere to? The only example that comes to mind at the moment is with ENTP authors. I find that their sentences tend to be terse...

Today I came to the realization that I am rarely bored...unless I'm around people. I could be by myself for hours, days, just browsing the internet, reading a book, watching a movie or lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling, and I won't feel bored. But when you throw people into the...

http://child-1st.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/05/the-concrete-random-learning-style.html This 100% describes my entire academic career, from where I thrive to where I fail miserably. It's a shame that school systems don't seem to be particularly 'concrete random' learner friendly. If they were...

In typical INTP fashion, I have been having great difficulty selecting a career path. This is a problem as now is the time I should be applying for universities. I don't really fancy changing my major around and wasting money as I've heard of many doing, so I'm trying to come to a conclusive...

I have no doubt that there's been similar topics, but I've just read an interesting article. Is there a really strong connection between ADHD and those that are N dominant? Are we all more or less cursed - or, depending on your view, blessed? :D "Not being completely focused on a task lets the...

I'm genuinely curious to know if this twitter account is anyone on the forum's: https://twitter.com/ALLCAPSBRO If he hadn't, on several occasions, proclaimed himself to be an INTP, I'd have guessed as much anyway. Needless to say this account can amuse me endlessly.

I've recently been told, by a complete stranger, that I seem like the type to commit murder. She informed me that I (somehow) seem expressionless and angry. As I'm rarely actually angry I find this somewhat...confusing. Have any other INTPs been given hell over their lack of facial...

ISTJs are everywhere. They are also notoriously (in my experience) close-minded and resolute when it comes to what they think is right. That whole Te-Fi thing is an INTPs worst nightmare. How would you go about appealing to their logic? It's harder than you would think, considering they're not...

I've just completed a cognitive processes test (http://www.keys2cognition.com/cgi/survey48.pl) that brought something to my attention: while my Ne is in excellent use, and scored just below Ti (which is obviously expected of an INTP), my Ni is in really good use as well. This lead me...

http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html Am I the only one that can strongly identify with many of these? 11/15 to be exact?

As the title says. What are your highest values? What is important to you?

Unfortunately, I am not skilled with typing people. I was looking for some insight into a person I am intrigued to know the type of. I'll just throw out random information about him (Matthew Good, for the record, though I doubt many know who he is): He is a musician. His lyrics generally...

I've come to the realization that I need more variety in my music taste (more so just new music in general - hence the title). I imagine that the suggestions of INTPs would be diverse, so do find it in you to throw some good artists/songs my way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YkduDOG8Z4...

Are there specific types of shows that INTPs tend to gravitate towards, or what? I should note that this is my first post, as well... :D Back on topic: personally I avoid reality TV like the plague. Things like the Kardashians and anything celebrity related drives me insane, especially...
