So I found this in the INFP section and thought it would be useful for my fellow INTJS. Courtesy of Nova.

Take issue with something going on in society?

Having a bad day?

Have something on your mind that wont go away?

Experience something so fabulous you just have to express it?


Post your vent here!



+ And a friendly reminder to please be respectful to other members and leave your baggage at the door.

Nice.

Would it count as cheating if ou looked for a cyber cafe or a hotel instead... then googled your coordinates?
If you play the game on Expert. :laughing:
I had to pass 6+ bus stops in my journey through Sweden's endless farmland.

999 pages.

So, today I started reading a new book I bought on Enneagram (I bought it a while ago actually but never got around to reading it) at work. The book helped me to realize I'm definitely a 9w1, but even more significantly, explains far more about me as a person down to the deepest core than MBTI has so far. In fact, it frames all my confusion about my MBTI type perfectly - just as @bethdeth predicted from my start here on PerC - which is really pretty astonishing. She knew I was a 9w1 all along. Damn, I even got my wing wrong - I thought I was a w8 at first, but I was still projecting. When I finally read this book today, I really identified with the 9w1 description, almost every word of it. If anyone wants, send me a PM and I'll type up the whole chapter on 9's for you.

I have to share the positive side of this realization, because it means a lot to me. I've always known that my basic needs and fears all stem from wanting to be seen as a 'good' person by others, and that this is really what threatens my inner peace the most. And that is precisely what the book describes about 9w1s. Now, being an INTJ means I have a unique and special gift - a very rare perspective combined with the 9w1 enneatype. I have the advantage of being able to take an objective (Te) 'make it make sense' approach to figuring out what is 'good' (Fi) and imagining a strategy (Ni) for achieving that goal. When I reach the top three healthy levels of type 9 (which I believe I am already in) I will have a stronger sense of knowing what that good is and how to achieve it, and the motivation to actualize that vision through 3'ish assertiveness.

The trap is fear of rejection and the anxiety that comes from it. As long as I don't take it personally when others disagree, and instead focus on trying to resolve any issues peacefully and responsibly, everything should work out for me in life. And honestly, I can say that makes a lot of sense to me personally, because that is really the biggest thing holding me back in my life at this point. I already tend to focus on the positive side of things and being encouraging to others is my primary way of interacting - to the extent that I thought I might actually rely more on Fe than Te for my extroverted judgment. I resolved this confusion by recognizing that when I try to solve a problem in life that involves the feelings of other people I use the 'golden rule' - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is more or less the definition of subjective ethical judgement, and Fi is subjective, ethical, and judgmental. Furthermore, I am choosing it out of a sense of practicality, because I identify with it conceptually as the most logical choice.

I don't remember my dreams that vividly very often, but I had one last night which had @PurpleTree in it. I've already forgotten quite a bit of it, but she basically came to visit me for a day. It was rather fun. She was wearing kinda guyish clothes (probably due to the gender neutral thing on the forum) and flat shoes but was taller than me. I don't know how tall you are but I guess subconsciously, I must think you're an actual tree. We kinda did all the stuff I'd normally do - went out for lunch and played computer games and stuff, but it was nice to actually be able to talk about geeky things and be honest without having to worry about butt hurt or anything like that.

When it hit evening, you had to go home, and you had a choice between 2 cars. You picked the 'bad' one and I reacted like some sort of gameshow host would when a contestant makes a bad choice. It didn't start, so you had to push it all the way home.

Also @tooboku turned up at random intervals but didn't say or do anything.

Are you allowed to go out of the house at all? Going outside more led to my eyesight getting better.
Only when someone helps me take off my gimp suit.

Having a gun might make me feel a bit safer, but I don't think it would actually make me safer.
Ew, countries with guns :S

Why do I find this so much fun?

I'm a virtual world traveler.
New realms of awesomeness!

Just venting about how much I like INTJs

Because I'm too lazy to create a new thread and I can't find any threads that are suitable for this, I will vent about what I like about you INTJs:tongue:

I like how we can understand each other easily with logic. I love INTJ sense of humor. I found that my INTJ friends are not the sterotypical antisocial cold creatures. They can be quite warm, friendly, and even sensitive under some circumstances. I'm sure all of them are 'secret romantics'. I was reading the personalitypage.com profiles and I came across INTJs. I love how you are future-oriented and can see the big picture. I'm an SJ and I get stuck in the past. I really value INTJ insights. We have only one letter difference so it's not overly complicated to see what you point out. You are confident and you believe in yourself. That's all I've got to say for now:proud:

This was going to be my next Enneagram book purchase. Guess it still is. :happy: Actually I'll just request it from the library, but they're closed as it's President's Day. Bah.

@Abraxas Now you are making me wonder if I'm really a 9w1. Looks like I have more to research again.

EDIT: I went and watched the videos @Promethea posted on the 9 forum, they both highlighted exactly problems that I have. So perhaps 9w1 is my real core type, and I just disintegrated to 6 for a long time, especially since 6 is also in my tritype.

Nope, your def a 9w1.

Heh, that's the conclusion I came to about myself. Many thanks to @Abraxas for turning me onto this stuff. Now if I can just do something with it (see signature). For instance, so easy to read this, so hard to force myself to actually do:

To Avoid Disintegration: In tough situations, don't let the stress paralyze you. Because Type 9s are constantly mediating their id, superego and the outside world, they may succumb to simply "shutting down" when it gets too hard. Don't withdraw like that; power through it.

@Sela Having a gun might make me feel a bit safer, but I don't think it would actually make me safer. There are the logistics of having it on me when I needed it, naturally trending toward klutzy, being naive, and of course the little matter of the fact that I don't think I could shoot someone - maybe if they were attacking someone I loved, I might, but...
True enough ... if you aren't prepared to draw down and use it then I'd probably suggest against it.

Ew, countries with guns :S
Really? Hmm. I'm of the opinion that all the laws in the universe won't prevent criminals from getting their paws on guns if they want them bad enough ... so therefore as a law-abiding citizen I should have the right to defend what's mine. Having said that I would never draw down unless I was prepared to use it.
