Most "scary" movies bore me to tears.
Haha. Most of them run out of things to 'scare' people with. It's always the same stuff, over, and over, and over again....

Do any other INTP's or INTJ's (for the hell of it) get scared too easliy and try to deny it?
I cannot relate to this statement in even the slightest manner. Fear induces stress and/or triggers the adrenaline glands. Neither of these outcomes is desirable in non-hostile environments. Bother have adverse effects. I prefer to only experience this effects when the positive effects outweigh them. (IE: Life-saving adrenaline is good when your life is actually threatened.)However, I have noticed that INTx's to like to get scared for fun, but it's never an actual fear, it's more like a fun fear.
I'm scared of two things: Spiders and unwanted pregnancy.

Awww... I miss Edahn.Yes. I hate scary movies. I'm easily frightened. I think part of it is genetic. It's not BECAUSE she's INTP, but rather that she might be INTP because she's shy. I've noticed a pretty high incidence of shyness over at INTPcentral; although it's certainly not a random sample, I think it's telling.
I have a feeling that the NT machine builds itself around anxiety as a method of reducing and controlling it. Not in everyone, but in a bunch of people.
Adding another anecdote, I can't watch slasher flicks without them lingering for years! It seems to feed certain paranoid tendencies, I suppose, created by an active imagination.
