ASDF

As a response to Nicole’s post, I am going to confess that I am a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI) nerd. I love this stuff XD. Check out my facebook! I will love to know everyone’s personality types! It is suppose to help with social interactions and for us to know each other better. Or you can just call me curious.

Other than the: “socially uncomfortable”, “does not like happy people” (@_@ who doesn’t like happy people?), and “frequently loses things”, the description in the image paints a fairly accurate picture of my personality (you can buy the shirt here.)

Personally, I think that INTPs sound like jerks. But a very INTP response would be: we don’t really care (since we are all suppose to be emotionless, cold-hearted, manipulative villains like Voldemort) .

Since you get a percentage for Myers-Briggs, and I am only 20% leaning towards introverted, so hopefully I am much more social than stated. After all, we are in the program for online communities.

Obligatory if you want to be friends with INTP quote:

INTPs prize intelligence in themselves and in others, but can become intellectual dilettantes as a result of their need to amass ideas, principles, or understanding of behavior. And once they know something, it is remembered. INTPs can become obsessed with analysis. Once caught up in a thought process, that thought process seems to have a will of its own for INTPs, and they persevere until the issue is comprehended in all its complexity. They can be intellectual snobs and may show impatience at times with others less endowed intellectually. This quality, INTPs find, generates hostility and defensive behaviors on the part of others, who may describe an INTP as arrogant.

So sorry if I appear to be elitist and arrogant, it is my personality flaw, and please forgive me. (According to Walther’s SIP theory, I am alone. I like how academic studies just make you feel more pessimistic sometimes )

If you want an example of how INTPs are obsessed with analysis, try looking at the detailed description of the INTP personality type written by an INTP. It is more detailed than any other description available online for any other personality types out there. That is because all INTPs are nerds.

And to make this post to have at least some connection with online communities, I will link to a great forum for INTJs. Why not a forum for the INTPs? Not only are INTJs much better at maintaining a forum, the INTP forum also has  posts that make us look like bad students and the HATE !¹

1. notice how the post about hate is the number 2 highest viewed post in the INTP forum, with the highest number of replies. This behavior is actually predicted as a stereotypical behavior as an INTP. Got to love MBTI. [↩]
