Hmm. The previous ask an INTP thread was much more fun.

Do most of you struggle with internal conflict?
All INTPs that I have know intimately have cycles of wanting to be free but wanting to be in a relationship (thankfully my partner wants to be in the relationship muchmore than out of it, but he is honest about it), wanting to change jobs, but wanting the stability and growth his job, wanting to move to the country and be a hippy, to wanting to be involved in development or international crisis areas and help the world somehow...do you all have this happen?
What turns you on and off the most? Please don't just say mental debate versus emotional scenes - I would like specifics about the 'tone' of what you find sexy in another person, and for that matter, in yourself
The big picture of life. What's the point to this life? Once we figure that out, then we can move forward in that direction. For instance, I was once going to get a Ph.D., but then I realized that I wouldn't be any happier with a Ph.D. than without. 4-6 years of hard work and not any happier. I don't want to work towards something that doesn't bring fulfillment.What matters most to you?
Not much on a grand scale anymore. I've learned to be content and to not worry. "Have any of you added a single day to your life by worrying?" On a small scale, I sometimes worry that I'll miss some event that I told someone I'd be at. I'm so accustomed to having an open schedule, that I don't really keep a calendar. I just keep it all in my head - just like I do with people's birthdays, addresses, and other information (I still remember the birthdays of childhood friends of mine that I haven't spoken to in 15 years). So, sometimes I might commit to something "next Tuesday" and then on Wednesday morning, I'll go, "Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!! " I really don't mean to do it, I just get absorbed in some project and forget all about it.What worries you the most?
If you could change one thing about the world to make it a better place for everyone in it, what would it be?
I would definitely keep my N ness. I think there is a world of difference in how N's and S's see the world, and how they communicate.
Ask an INTP - wow - this is too good to be true!
Lot's of questions...

Thanks...I have more but this may be enough for now!
Anyway we could resurrect the old thread? I would if I could find it.

Fun fact. That thread has 5 stars, this one has 2.
I wonder why?
edit: A moderator could merge the two together. But they better leave the 5 stars when they do!
I just boosted the star rating.
Have you ever been so distant from the world around you that when you look at yourself you wonder if your body is a costume and that your just an imaginary observer in another world. Hella creepy right?
Do you ever wonder if people notice little speaking errors?
(Yup. And at this point i stop correcting them.
What's the best reference book you can recommend to have?
Best way to escape boredom?
Howabout this:
Do you think INTPs are by definition disadvantaged when it comes to social skill?
Or do you think the trend is just a side affect of other more definitional traits?
For those of you who read Death Note, how strongly do you identify with L?
