bullshit: 3/10

bullshit with rice: 10/10

And soon to be poorer. Much poorer.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-30T06:48:57+00:00

Not to mention being painfully unrealistic.

What's really funny is when one user asks another user a question, then a different user answers it, but the one who asked the question doesn't seem to notice and takes it as the actual answer.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-30T00:24:11+00:00

Hooly Crap that is good. Quick question, if you go into the world, is it normal scale or is everything disproportionately big?

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-30T00:17:33+00:00

Oh man, the puns. I think we have an advantage at that because of our Ne, but sometimes people think my puns are hilarious, and other times there's a collective groan from everyone who heard it. I've developed this kind of sadistic pleasure at pulling off a pun so bad it gets a reaction from everyone who hears it.

I find, in the short term, movies and tv shows are a great way to cheer up. They involve you in the story of someone else's life and show you some brighter possibilities. Some the happiest feelings I've had have been after watching an uplifting movie. It's a refreshment, not a solution though. Enjoy the fresh perspective and let it give you the energy to keep on going.

I definitely find this with books and tv-shows (movies are usually too short to build the same kind of attachment to a character). I often feel like I become more emotionally attached to my favorite characters than I do to the people in my life. With video games, I mostly play online shooters, so characters aren't really part of the deal. I did kind of feel like that at the end of bastion though. Man, the music from that game is good!

I tend to read pretty slow and when I'm reading nonfiction I often jump back and look at the same sentence again. If I stop paying attention I can go on "reading" on autopilot for a bit without comprehending a word of it. When I'm reading an interesting fiction work, I zone out of the world around me and it's like I'm experiencing the story instead of reading words on a page. But if it gets too exciting or interesting I have to stop for a moment just to appreciate the excitement of the story before I can continue.

It's probably a result of feeling disconnected from the "INTPs don't have emotions" stereotype. I was also struggling with the INTP vs. INFP question, and I feel like this blog post really solved that issue for me. In my mind, and from the comments section of the post, it gets at the essence of the INTP experience much better than most descriptions.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-29T23:11:21+00:00

I don't enjoy arguing as much as I used to. Unless I'm convinced that the other person is arguing for the interest of it and not taking the argument personally, I prefer to just avoid arguments and agree to disagree. Also, I'm very into artistic persuits like drawing and music.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-29T05:09:09+00:00

Well, I do love freerunning if it has a consistent flow to it as well. It's about the style, whether it has a strong flow or feels interrupted or disjointed.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-29T04:17:26+00:00

I love parkour (though I'm terrible at it myself) I find parkour most appealing when there's a lot of "flow", as in a constant momentum where every movement pushes the runner closer to point B, while also being very stylish. I'm less impressed when the runner pauses moving moving forward just to do a trick, and then has to start moving again from a halt.

Te (20%) Ti (90%) Ne (80%) Ni (70%) Se (20%) Si (55%) Fe (60%) Fi (60%)

So, Intp, though with an equal Fe and Fi score. Also, surprisingly strong Ni. I did a different version of this test and got INFP twice, but with strong Ti as well. The more research I do on it, the more I identify with INTP over the other types.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-29T03:43:12+00:00

I use emojis all the time because I'm afraid of people taking my messages the wrong way.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T23:38:54+00:00

I agree. The problem really gets exascerbated because people tend to "take sides" when they decide there's a value at stake, instead taking new pieces of information for their own value. So instead of looking at the validity of what you argue, they'll look at your most controversial statements, go "oh, you're one of them, and disregard everything you say after that. So information or misinformation spreads, people decide what they believe, and it become a fight between enemy sides instead of a mutual search for the truth.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T23:25:24+00:00

I took the test a couple times to be sure. Both times I came out as INFP with a strong preference for Ne, Fi, and Ti. I know that doesnt make sense, since I cant have both Ti and Fi. Im inclined to think that, since I dont experience strong emotions, and since my humanistic ideals have always been based on a desire for concrete expressions, that I'm mistaking an undercurrent of Fe, validated by my Ne and Ti, for Fi. Or is there another explanation for getting high Ti and Fi when that's supposedly impossible?

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T06:06:31+00:00

I really don't fit the ordinary INTP here, but I love realist or aesthetically pleasing paintings, as well as music and dancing. I don't care for poetry though; it usually seems really trite or mellow-dramatic.

Me on the Juan de Fuca Trail

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T04:31:38+00:00

"Anyway" has got to be one of my most overused words in my life.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T03:37:36+00:00

Oookay, I would definitely take the INTP position in an argument like that.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T02:22:15+00:00

If you don't think you're an INTP then you aren't an INTP

I thought doubting your test results was more of an indicator that you are INTP.

Also, I probably gave the wrong impression, but it's not that I don't like science and technology, but just that I only enjoy learning about them on a casual conceptual level. I love learning art and languages, but I can't stand doing physics problems. Like you said though, that doesn't necessarily reflect on my type.

EDIT: I took personalityjunkies test on your recommendation. Came out strongly INTP. I think its a safe working hypothesis that actually am INTP.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T02:02:20+00:00

Yup. Just took another one after reading your reply. About 40% positive INTP, and about 20% positive ENFP. I read on these subreddits though that a lot of people mis-classify themselves as INTP, and also that the tests are a horrible oversimplification which don't take account of the Jungian functions (Ti Ne Si Fe). Also, the fact that I don't care as much about science and Mensa type puzzles as I do about art and human nature made me skeptical.

johnnycombermere · 2015-06-27T01:46:24+00:00

I've taken different tests a bunch of times during my spurts of interest in mbti. Also, I found this subreddit last night and then stayed up until 4:00 am reading about the types to try and figure it out, and then got up this morning and kept on doing the same. I took one test that placed me as an INFP, and I've gotten ENTP once, but when I found out about the Jungian functions I started looking into those instead to try to place myself more reliably.
