I studied philosophy in college and listen to a weekly philosophy podcast. Even the boring parts don't confuse me :wink: Also would love a unicorn.

Alas, I am unbelievably boring.

Lol. I suppose there will always be exceptions.

Programming sounds kind of boring but I wouldn't mind creating a program to generate pet unicorns!

For the last one, I don't like either option but if I had to choose I'd go with the first just because I hate the feeling of being lost.

Seems to me the T/F question is the hardest.

What does this mean? Like you want to contribute to ways of thinking?

Both of those sound appealing.

Ok, new T/F question:
Whose job would you rather have (if you had to choose)- Oprah, or Donald Trump?

1. Your eyes fall upon a long line of guitars in a shop window. Pick the thought process most suitable on first sight:

S: They're all different shapes, sizes and colours. All of them have their own separate features.
N: They're all the same entity; instruments that are capable of creating sounds for playing music.

2a. (S) In which area of life are you more inclined to place some sense of order onto?

J: The exterior world. (I allow my thoughts to be more directionless and free-flowing.)
P: My thoughts. (Not as much exertion on the exterior as I can fit around whatever comes up.)

2b. (N) Which attitude leads you through life the most?

T: Detached 'truth', which is separate from myself and I don't like to mix the two.
F: My own person values and morality. I remain undetached from these most of the time and they motivate me.

How does one organize one thoughts?

A mix of the two.

You can think of it like you have a deck of cards, and each one represents a thought. You can put them together in all sorts of ways- connect spades, then connect like numbers, then put a chain of them in numerical order, etc. I think of it like I have an infinitely large filing cabinet in my mind. But the connections are more along the lines of the deck of cards (except more complex).

Well, one is surely more appealing than the other. In many typology questions I feel I could be "both." As we all know, it is the preference that indicates the type. As an NT, I'd likely rather have Oprah's job.

Perhaps a good T/F question would be: is it more of a compliment to be empathetic or rational?

I know this may sound stupid. :cheese: But will all F's actually answer 'empathetic' to this question?

95% of NFs I know would. The problem with asking only two questions is there are no absolutes. So you just have to go with what an NF is most likely to choose.

I would definitely choose rational. Which proves beyond a doubt I'm XNTP. :alttongue: So ha. Unless I'm in the 5%.

Well, excepting of INFJs. They seem obsessed with being rational.

But Greenfairy is a perceiver, so no INFJ. that is, is it the judging trait that makes them feel rational?

I think it might be the Ti.
