INTP neet-race reporting in

Steinbeck's lazy-bum trilogy, aka Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday and Tortilla Flat.

I also really enjoy Calvino's novels and think they share a lot of similarities with Steinbeck's. Of Mice and Men and The Path to the Nest of Spiders are oddly similar; both have an unusual pairing of a child with a wiser adult-figure that tries to guide them through a perplexing world. Baron in the Trees and Tortilla Flat are both stories about men who try to avoid responsibility but can't help but be pulled back to participate in society.

66%, I sometimes score close on the T/F spectrum, but I tend to follow my feelings more then what makes sense logically.


Hues of scarlet, chestnut, and mossy greens covered the canvas. The countenance they surrounded bore a most curious expression. At first glance the unshifting, upturned edges of a smiled seem to suggest happiness. But looking into the eyes above those thin lips, and you could see they bore little joy.
Detached amusement perhaps? This was the face of a woman who had seen too much, and had been broken by it all. Yet somehow, still found some modicum of humor in it all. Is it you the viewer of this portrait? The artist painting her? Or something more obscure?

There's only one thing that was for certain, she had the Mona Lisa smile.

In high school I identified with Nietzsche and Dostoevsky's oh-the-edge characters. I tested out as INTP then, but mostly because I intentionally skewed the results because I thought being a feeler is uncool.

Thus spoke zarathustra is a close second but my favourite book is brave new world. there's just something mystical about the distant (or not so distant) future that makes it intriguing to think about. utopian or dystopian fiction in general is very enjoyable for me to read, although i spend more time thinking about it than reading the book, which makes the process of reading it a very long, albeit enjoyable one. sadly it falls in the same category as sci-fi which is regarded as shallow in this community. sure, it's 4chan with its elitism and gatekeeping, but most discussions about books like this are instantly shut down by trolls. that's why i'm happy to finally see a worthy discussion thread, which is now up

Well, at least in theory they are different.
The Jungian model only reflects congitive abilities: the way be collect, process and store information.
Big 5 covers a variety of traits most of which reflect emotionality.
The Big 5 and MBTI overlap only to the extent that emotionality to a great degree influences our cognitive preferences and abilities but the relationship between those is a complex one.

Well, here is how I would try to explain it.
Imagine the following: You are about to leave the house for work in the morning. Suddenly you get a small "bad feeling" about it. So here you stop and try to consider what you should do. What you would decide would depend on how much weight you would attach to this feeling in the range of "It's probably nothing" to "That's it. I'm calling in sick".
Still, even in such a simple situation there are other factors at work, other "feelings" you might have that would modify your final behavior.

Key transitional point from INFJ->ENTJ:

This was during a one-week long weed and alcohol bender/LAN with 10 of my friends in my parent's house when they went on holiday. Fucked first love and exited my room to be handed a joint by cheering dudes, felt like a king.
>gain 15-20kg of muscle over the course of four years, break up with cutie Swede gf before starting university to immerse myself in club culture and one night stands. Later acquire pure virgin Saudi Arabian/American girlfriend who I believe I will marry by 24.
>"All work and no play gives him an erection" - this is unironically true. I became a manic workaholic and socialite while studying history at uni, read a sample of classic fiction but mainly consume hundreds of charisma building self-help books because of my obsession with always being 'better'.
