I was floored when I found that link. Describes me to a T.
- brl 18y agoI know what you mean. Reading INTP personality profiles online was a life changing experience for me. Suddenly everything made so much more sense.
- watmough 18y ago"Hence, it is common to see INTPs dabbling at many things, achieving competency, just enough to prove to themselves that they could become more proficient if they wished, but rarely actually bothering to refine their skills further. This is a point at which we begin to get a feel for the workings of iNtuition backing up Thinking. The INTP has a whole set of skills which he knows that he would be proficient at, yet other people may know little of this." Yes, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I read this. There's a great book by Radcliffe Hall called 'A Saturday Life' (Info on Radclyffe Hall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radclyffe_Hall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radclyffe_Hall) that should be of interest, and also some good pulp SciFi Fantasy that I found pretty comforting while I was growing up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_the_Five_Magics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_the_Five_Magics Master of the Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy about a hopeless wizard trainee.
- louislouis 18y agoWow! Took the test 5mins ago, found out I'm an INTP too. Now reading these comments and links is blowing my mind! lol
- axod 18y agoWhy? Millions of people behave similarly. I don't get why this is interesting... or surprising.

- brl 18y agoIt's not just identifying with some vague general points of the description. For some people reading an INTP profile for the first time is blow-your-mind-and-shit-your-existential-pants amazing. INTPs would be first in line to understand and point out the kind of cognitive bias that make people believe in horoscopes and astrology (and possibly the other 15 MBTI categories).
- axod 18y agoCare to share what is so amazing about it? As it apparently describes millions of people to a T :/
- steveplace 18y agoThat's why horoscopes and fortune cookies work.
- hugh 18y agoExcept in bed.
- Tichy 18y agoInteresting, but somewhat unsatisfactory, I feel. What if the description really did describe everyone quite well? For example "you are a human" would describe everybody quite well. So the experiment seems incomplete.
