Ah thanks for the points! But isn't personal interaction simply a form of reacting to stimuli? In other words, why would there be a distinction between the processes by which an individual reactions to human stimuli and how they react to non-human stimuli? It's for this reason I assume that...

oh i love learning about the hemispheres of the brain. it would be interesting to compare test results among similar personality types and brain hemisphere preferences. the parallels between the hemispheres and personality functions are pretty clear but definitely not one-for-one. feeling...

why aren't socionics and MBTI compatible? I never got that. though it might be because my brain automatically hybridized the two systems as I learned about them, leaving me with some as-of-yet-unarticulated hybrid in my brain. I think they are both on the cusp of becoming both accessible and...

I find this thread confusing and offensive by and large. okay. feminism is about equality. period. no matter how it's been used or portrayed, that is at its core. I agree with some that a lot of feminists have lost their way and have created expectations that lead to greater inequality, but...

of course an INTJ would suggest one personality profile a human! such is the conflict I have with my INTJ lover and INTJ student, forever dismissing the personality models I use. anyways. I don't see how anyone would need a personality model outside of the one that Jung is credited for...

i love how you define intuition here, as the product of the unconscious producing an internal definition of external stimuli based on experience and... something else. it lines up with what I've read of intuition, as it often is known as a sudden visual response to the world. I know I've...

I used to have a link to an article that would fit here. It suggests that the percentages of personality types reflects a general order of societal needs from its members in order for it to be stable and successful. in short, it suggests that the high number of SPs and SJs in a population...

I've been told that Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality by Hanne Blank is a great text on how heterosexuality has been relatively recently constructed and immediately made invisible as a norm despite being the twin of homosexuality. It also sounds like a great place to...

I'm pretty sure my awesome female INTJ friend's boyfriend is NF something, as he and I are similar in key ways that she has often commented on. He's definitely straight but is coming around to the idea of pegging. I have another NT friend whose boyfriend is also probably an NF. Also similar to...

Rferraris Ah thank you for sharing about your experiences! I hope it doesn't seem like I was passing judgment either, as I didn't intend to. Perhaps the term soul mate will sound less funny one day, maybe with my current partner, maybe not. He does know me in ways I didn't know people could be...

when it comes to hygiene I'm pretty trusting and confident that I can cover a lot of bases with condoms. plus I don't like hooking up so I would likely have an idea where my partners have been since I'd have to know them pretty well to be interested in coupling with them. I'm a pretty...

I agree that it's most important for individuals to discover their own personality type, especially as it serves as a rite of passage into understanding and reconstructing interpretations of oneself and others in terms of MBTI. I don't think MBTI would be as bad as other forms of bigotry at all...

I find the mixing of romance, economic stability and familial stability to be pretty risky in itself. I realize I never specified how I would want to have my family structure, which would be having a single partner and kids, with additional relationships on the side. In this way, if the romance...

I have experienced similar things, though in my experience it has had less to do with revealing archetypes as it has been revealing how personality manifests in spite of and through the myriad ways in which bodies are constructed. it's like reconstructing essence after it is augmented through a...

For most of life, I assumed I wanted a lifelong relationship with a single partner, who I would devote my emotional, mental and spiritual energy towards. Now, I'm not so sure. Please bear with me as I try to explain, because in my experience most INFJs are into monogamy, but I would like to...
