A late curiosity

[Helvete]

Well hello all, this is my 420th post so I thought I'd finally formally present myself. I'm often known for being late; with the connotations associated with the number 420 it's not surprising. I have to add though that's not really why I'm often late, there's just not enough time to do things. Most people will call this doing nothing, but there's plenty of time for working and that's doing nothing. I can't be bothered to explain right now so disagree and prove me wrong here; I'd like to be a wise man one day, so I need to be wrong lots for this to occur.

I just rambled then as I don't really know what to say - probably one of the reasons I never made this before.

Some of you have seen me around already and know a little about me. So from not wanting to repeat stuff that can be found elsewhere, ask me whatever you want to know.

I suppose I can say that when I joined here back in December I'd only really discovered about mbti, and disbelieved I was really intp. I'm still not completely certain. It seems to be the type that resonates with me the most but what makes me uncertain about it is that I have mild dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. Makes it hard to learn things and my hand eye coordination is poor. Not a great mix for a supposedly intp. I'v considered istp; as I'm not particularly good with logic and maths, but I am very creative and am often accused of being scatter brained.
I think I understand myself in accordance to mbti in a general sense, I'm not familiar with it in any major depth. I do keep meaning to look into it properly but I'm too lazy.
If you wish to make me a lab rat then feel free, I'm easy either way.

I'll welcome myself as well I found the door already

a late response:

hello! i joined before you so i suppose it makes sense to say welcome.

i am also very fond of 4:20 though personally i often find it to be rather late to start doing nothing. with careful planning you can get much more nothing done.

that is very wise of you.

Reading your op you resemble INTP much more than ISTP.

Given your reasons (the ones you have provided) for considering ISTP over INTP, I would suggest you haven't grasped Se vs. Ne and in fact, have them backwards.

Ha, thanks. It is but a time which can be perceived either way depending on your sleeping patterns . I will have to learn to plan to get more nothing done as you so suggest though. Do you have any effective methods? aha

Interesting. What makes you think intp from my writing, over istp? I see why you think I may have the 2 confused, but I don't think I do. Ne is basically applying theory to scenarios and seeing if there's evidence to back it up, whereas Se would look for the evidence first and piece it together to work out a solid conclusion, for example?
I don't think I made it very clear, but I considered being istp; I don't actually think I am one now. intp seems to fit the best out of all, but I also have bouts of doubt every now and again. I am still open to other type suggestions though, other than the 2 I'v talked about.

IMO


Ne will piece together concepts to determine outcomes. It will utilize these concepts in other areas to determine results.

Se will piece together raw data to determine outcomes. It will utilize the data in other areas to determine results.

Concept vs data
Complex vs simple
Intuitive vs Concrete understanding


I often considered a strong Se as a person who likes Trivia games and an Ne a person who likes strategy games.

Yeah, I'm a trivia retard. An avid poker player though which is mostly strategy.

Ah, I like that.

I wondered what your avatar picture is about.

 

[Helvete]

Ah, I like that.

I wondered what your avatar picture is about.

I don't understand, is this to do what you like. Or is it a separate statement? FYI It has nothing to do with being late or 420. It's a character from a film called Big Bad Wolves. I even have a thread about it recommending the film and everything aha http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=19296.

@ anyone/everyone, why are people commandeering Architects avatar?

EDIT: Yeah don't worry, I see what's going on now XD

 

[Variform]

I was trying to be terse. I wanted to acknowledge a fellow connoisseur and figure out the avatar. Because avatars are never just some random image. They are always chosen because it has meaning.

Which makes me wonder, considering the film, if you are into righteous vengeance? Does that appeal to you?

Forget about vengeance, I don't care about that. You can forget about being righteous too. I have no particular interest in either of those. If you want to relate concepts about the avatar to the person behind it, then why ask vague questions about the film? Why not ask me about the actual character, or find out what relevance the character has in the film. I mean, sure, if it was the general concept of the film that really appealed to me, I might find something that represented that, but not something random that people wouldn't easily be able to relate to.

I'v read various posts of yours before, you seem to like finding hidden meanings, whether concious from that person or not and working out why they may say certain things or act in a certain way. So I'm going to leave it at this and see what you're able to pick up from it .

Good luck.

trivia is Si, strategy is Ni

Se often finds trivia completely pointless seeing as it's crystallized, archived data with no current actual use, while Ne often finds strategy too constraining, too derivative, lacking in dynamics. both trivia and strategy are things that appeal to introverted perception and sort of bore the extraverted perception, overall. however, i think Se types may have some inferior-mediated attraction to strategy, and Ne types to trivia.

hypothesis, not observation.

Given the framework, this is my experience. I would rather play a game like Chocolate Fix where everything I need to figure out how to solve the problem is right in front of me. I don't have to memorize otherwise useless facts.

How is that vague?

No thanks.
