On facebook I have discovered a forum where there are more important things than "indexing," although it exists there. What could be more important than indexing, you ask?
Having a good time, I say.
As a person who is physically getting sicker and sicker all the time, I like to turn to the internet for entertainment - although even sitting down in a chair with a pillow is becoming increasingly more painful.
As an example of the type of entertainment I'm talking about:
This sort of entertainment is entirely lacking on TypoC, the only forum in the universe with a "typo" in it. And it gets better, much better. I have only posted a rather jejune form of the entertainment typically found there on a daily basis.
A lot of people join the unmoderated INTP facebook group looking for intellectual stimulation, but eventually declare either that the majority of members must not be INTP types, or they expected more intellect from INTPs in general. But they are operating off of INTP stereotypes. When they think of the INTP type they probably have something in mind like Einstein writing abstruse equations on a blackboard:
But they forget about this Einstein:
or the one with Einstein sticking his tongue out which I detest.

Those who think of INTP as a serious type are considering only the Ti in the function stacking, but are completely neglecting to consider the far more playful Ne side.
I joined an unmoderated ENTP forum in order to compare both ENTP and INTP behavior in unmoderated contexts. The ENTP forum I find to be rather silly. It's not unbearably silly, just far more random and off-the-wall than INTP, and with no intellect in sight.
I also find a great deal more mental laziness on ENTP. For example, when asking the group to guess Obama's personality MBTI type, everybody who responded simply Googled the answer. But when I asked them for his Enneagram type I got no response - because, I assume, the answer wasn't readily available either via Google or via the "I heard that he's such and such" grapevine.
An unmoderated forum is a great way to view types "au natural." I have also joined an ISFP forum and, predictably, there are more puppies and cats than anything else, as well as relationship questions. I'm not saying that's all there is to an ISFP, but that's about all there is on that forum.
There are certain advantages to joining unmoderated Facebook forums. Those include, but aren't limited to -
1. more entertaining than moderated forums where everybody is too afraid of the ban hammer to speak naturally, and;
2. more enlightening than moderated forums where everybody has to act a certain way and can't simply be themselves.
