    Abuse is about control

    What experiences have you had with this? Had a verbally abusive boyfriend when I was a teenager and a bit desperate. I was 16 he was 23, we went out for a couple of years. I was already a bit all over the place (just quite depressed, anxious, eating disorders etc) and he was very, very, very...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    I don't mean to be frustrating, but does it matter if he/she understood? We can never be sure that we have properly understood an author's intent, so the author's intent (at least when it comes to theory) is sort of meaningless isn't it? I mean, I see how authorial intent matters in...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    @Andy Quellenlicht That's really interesting. I'm not sure I've totally got my head around the left-brain/right-brain stuff. Maybe you could describe it to me? Do you think you can describe your thoughts? As for the jokes - I got both, but the first one more readily (had to read the second...

    Tax avoidance/Tax evasion

    @Dragon - Hi, no I mean tax avoidance not tax breaks/tax credits. Tax avoidance like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Green#Tax_avoidance Legal. But should it be?

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    Hi, sorry. I just meant what was it that made you think you were an INFJ? Like, how would you describe your use of Ni? Why did you decide it was Ni over Ne? How would you describe your use of Fe? How is it affected by Ni? And the same question for Ti and Se - sorry for all the vagueness! I...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    That's interesting. I hadn't quite looked at enneagram like that. As for your question, it's difficult for me to work out. The only thing I can say about the "nothing is absolute" outlook is that that is the most logical one. I wouldn't say I necessarily live by it, though. I don't tend to...

    Part II Can you reason with the ideological?

    I'd agree with most of this. It doesn't feel nice being in the minority, I realise this, but I would suggest that the anger is coming from you. And I don't mean that in a critical way. I can get frustrated with people when they are saying things that I deem to be irrational - like people who...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    But it that e3? I had a bit of trouble deciding between e1 and e3 because I'm neither exactly and I did look at your e6 idea but I don't recognise much of it. I have a secret want to "be important" (though I became aware recently this has more to do with feeling I would have a role in society...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    Oh God, not more possibilities! hehe. Read through a description. I see myself in some of it like asking everybody's else's point of view before confirming a decision. But in my case, I've already made the decision and if people say no I'll do it anyway. I'm not asking because I feel fearful of...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    Firstly. I'll come back to what you asked earlier in your answer. I'm sorry, I don't think I'm quite as far along as you with this stuff and I think I need to give it a couple of reads to understand it properly. But the bits below I understood, I understand. Well, I have been told as a toddler...

    The Key Factor in Screening Ni Dominance

    I'm going to have to ask you to clarify, sorry. When you say "definition" - do you mean literally that I want to pin-down the meaning of terms used or that I want to classify things? I don't tend to care what words people use so long as the meaning comes across adequately enough for a...

    Tax avoidance/Tax evasion

    Interesting, although I am in the UK. But have they seriously not put it in to law? And beyond that, how the hell did they fund the country before the World Wars?!

    What builds your functions?

    Haha! Yeah you're right, it doesn't work. I think it was a bit of a stab in the dark by me to try and explain it. I don't actually know then :)

    What builds your functions?

    Well evolution includes the individual not getting killed too :D If individuals are killed by members of their own species then they will not reproduce - survival of the fittest. This means we have to fit in with our peers to a certain extent in order to not be killed or to be able to reproduce...
