Sehnsucht. The German word for "thoughts and feelings about all facets of life that are unfinished or imperfect, paired with a yearning for ideal alternative experiences. It has been referred to as “life’s longings”; or an individual’s search for happiness while coping with the reality of...

Art has intension. So no, not at this point (maybe never).

Just fall in love and the pounds will roll off.

Bullshit made-up for commercial reasons "holiday"

Humans interpret the universe through the lens of the major discovery of that time. Pre-history: Making fire and likening the stars as camp sites Agrarian: Not sure about this time period? Industrial: The mechanical universe Digital: The digital/informational universe.

I concur and think uncertainty is one of the major contributors for religion but it doesn't have to be just religious people. I have an atheist friend who turns to the law of attraction to help explain why her business took a turn for the worse. The illusion of control is another factor.

Probably an NF idealist of some sort.

Besides the studies that suggest I/E to be genetic to some extent, I have two sons who are INTJ and ESTP. The difference was unmistakable from infancy. As babies, my INTJ was very comfortable playing on his own while my ESTP constantly sought my or other children's attention. (It was...

Lol, no we aren't in disagreement. Peace out, shalom, namaste and the like.

I disagree. We should be more concerned for the psychological well being of people. They are afterall the only species that abuses animals and humans alike. Therefore it's to everyone's benefit to focus on human abuse and exploitation.

What an assumption. It doesn't follow that those who enjoy animal sex will seek out getting paid for it. I enjoy sex with the opposite sex gender but I don't want to take part in a porn role. In fact, if I enjoyed beastiality, I'd take pains to hide that. The porn industry isn't some great place...

I watch TV but I'm selective to suit my tastes (wow, that's revolutionary, I know). I want to plug a UK comedy I think is subtle, funny and for some reason grabs you. Check out The Detectorists. It's on Nextflix and maybe elsewhere? For forum members in the UK, please tell me the show is being...

That was actually my point that I failed to make clear. A child's duty is first to their own development which in turn indirectly benefits the parent(s). Development as a fully functional and emotionally mature adult will lead to wanting to give back born of a greater capacity to love your parents.

A child's duty is to be the best they can be. To fulfill as much as possible of their own potentialities. A parent duty is to foster this in their child while continuing to strive in fulfilling their own potentialities. Both benefit in an indirect fashion. The degree to which both do this in...

It's done all the time, aka faith healers. Personally, I wouldn't have the stomach for it as I'm repulsed by those who deliberately take advantage of scared people for personal gain.

Not every behavioral decision is tied to a value. The adage 'when in Rome' may apply. I choose to eat dinner later than I usually do because I'm in a different culture and I want to experience that culture in a tangible way by changing things up. Much of what we do is unconscious as well...we do...

@Intolerable Yes, this could be the case but so can the opposite. Good intension (in some way helping another) interpreted as selfish. Intensions can't be seen by anyone except by those who act and even then, those who act can hide and distort their intensions (self distortions) adding another...

Somerset Maugham's The Painted Veil. Fairly well done period piece with some meat in the storyline as you'd expect with Maugham. Ed Norton does a solid portrayal of Walter but for some reason, wasn't thrilled with Naomi Watts as Kitty the wife, who can come across as immature and self indulgent...

People can (and very often do) operate by viewing others as less than a whole person. When there is a conflict of wants between 2 people, the mindset is something like: 'What I want for myself vs what you want'. When you get to a place where you view others as whole persons whose desires and...

I understand that you want some assurances before you make a move but you don't need his ok. Yes, it makes you more at risk and you'd prefer he makes the first overture. If you know you like him, you can simply take it upon yourself in a simple and honest expression. Something along the lines of...

I'm assuming you met/began this relationship on online dating? Meaning you both had intensions of dating each other to discover what if anything develops? If that's the case then it's still in the gray area. The fact that he texts and maintains contact and has suggested another get together all...

I was the loathsome 'teacher's pet' at least in some of my classes.:o Literature tended to be my favorite. Books were a wonderful refuge where I'd spend much of my time lost in imagination. I found the world of allusion, symbolism, metaphor, irony and the like to speak some truth to me and I...

@grayman Not sure what you mean? How is MBTI "far worse"? On a side note, your analogy...no field is sterile and empty.

Our powers of rationalization versus deep discernment coupled with accountability is the culprit. A person who has exhibited many instances of lazy behavior without knowing they are an INTP/MBTI will have rationalized their laziness in another fashion. In fact, I can use even scientifically...

Cuz it fun? The best person to evaluate your type is yourself. I hope no one takes it seriously but I find it's enjoyable to speculate. I assume you enjoy nitpicking (a typical INTP trait;) ).

+3 nanook!

Re: whhat gives you the incentive/willpower/strength to keep going and stay "alive"? The basic instinct to keep from dying. The fear of death and 'disappearing'. Responsibilities. My children, my aging mother etc...Not that I think I'm irreplaceable but I have a strong reaction that whatever...

Re: Attractiveness ratting system effects on self-esteem I don't have studies to back this up but my observations on the attractiveness quality is that the majority of couples pair up with similarly attractive/unattractive people. You can quantify beauty to some extent, symmetry and the like...

Tom Robbins books seem to capture Ne. Quirky and funny plots. Characters that are on the fringe of society, rebellious and irreverent topics. NF's and NT's would appreciate this type.

Re: Attractiveness ratting system effects on self-esteem I don't think your boyfriend is the problem. It's just his thing...and now yours? A rating he uses that he happened to tell you about. It's like when a partner makes a comment about someone attractive either in the media or if you run...

I don't think childhood issues have to do with personality. If you were molested, beaten, had an over controlling parent or what have you, it makes you an INTP (or whatever you identify with) with whatever disorder developed as a result of trauma. Two children with differing personality types...

Correct me if I'm wrong but you've posted before on a similar topic and in both it seems that "to get laid and to land a hot quality girl" is the main goal. I'm not casting anything negative related to your goal but just because you apply evolutionary imperative of mating and offspring doesn't...

Are Se-Ni, Ne-Si, etc really a linear continuum of opposites or could it be a circle? I don't know, just playing around. But yes I think I've honed my appreciation of beauty being a Ni dom. Over the course of my life I've found beauty in things I didn't appreciate before. Like the crude, vulgar...

Central to this thread is the notion that to understand the universe is to accept that you can't know reality fully because we are anchored to our subjectivity or in other words, Idealism. " Idealism itself is sometimes taken to be a foundational system and a reduction of everything to mental...

I thought this is what you were getting at but wanted to be sure. Brilliant! The bridge between polarities. The eye of the storm, the nexus of congruity. (Getting silly now...) There could be other terms that bridge and I guess I've always conceptualized the way to grow is to use the bridge and...

Starfleet Crewperson 58% Intrigue, 63% Civilization, 67% Humanity, 55% Urbanization. As Mister Spock would say: Fascinating. It seems you've managed to hit the edge of the curve on all metrics. An extraordinary life is almost certain. According to your answers, you want it all, you want a lot...

Couldn't agree more. No one gets out of this life without responsibilities. And why would you want to forego the benefits that come from honing your skills, intellect and contributing to self and society?
