That compliment means nothing because you know nothing important about each other. It should not have any effect on you since it is coming from an ignorant source, but it does. That probably means you are jumping at any chance to recieve a compliment because you have low self-esteem. A true compliment is difficult to put into words. It should be the result of effort, time, sacrafice, and should be a reiteration of the truth.

Don't tell me you didn't get the joke.
Or please, DO tell me, and thus don't tell me you wanted to ruin it...:doh:

It was unexpected that I told everyone I am unexpected maybe not to them, but to me.

I always expect InTJs to say unappreciative things in an appreciation thread. :tongue10:

INTPs are the best people since they are one of the easiest and most satisfying people to prey on. Their incredible nerdy jokes and very innocent demeanor warrants them a highschool beating.

They make an excellent sidekick walking-dictionary.

Hm, I could indeed imagine INTP's rather be the sidekick than the superhero himself...

Don't worry. Everyone is secretly jealous of INTPs.

This makes sense. The sidekick gets to observe all the action, without getting placed in direct and immediate danger. :nice:

And then gets barely any credit, little fame, and remains in the shadow of the superhero. Perfect INTP situation.

Today I held a directed, half-hour conversation with a director of corporate research -- an INTP with a well-earned Ph.D. She was, as I've come to expect from the type, calm and curious, impersonal to a fault, bothered only by concerns of gadgetry; overflowing with information but pellucid in argumentation. She was a little inchoate on a matter of mobilization and deployment, but again, it was no surprise. The exchange reminded me why INTPs are such a professional delight.
