Actually a spade is a collection of molecules (which are made up of atoms, which are made of electrons around a nucleus, which is essentially energy + space) which is arranged in a certain way and given a label by a being using language. In Spanish it's pala, and in Japanese it's スペード.
You know that question you've been struggling with for so long?
You're an INTP.
Zarathustra:
I have to agree with Riva...
I could not give a small-enough shit.
...your lack of clarity does not imply a flaw in the reader's reasoning.
Not to split hairs, but my perspective is very clear, so, if anything, it would not be my lack of clarity, it would be the OP's lack of clarity.
Second, I never said it was the lack of clarity in the OP that implied a flaw in the reader's reasoning.
I said the reasoning in a particular responder's post was poor.
Perhaps you should take the advice on this INTJ page into consideration:
http://www.personalitypage.com/INTJ.html
Particularly this:
"...It is not easy for the INTJ to express their internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand. However, the INTJ is driven to translate their ideas into a plan or system that is usually readily explainable, rather than to do a direct translation of their thoughts. They usually don't see the value of a direct transaction, and will also have difficulty expressing their ideas, which are non-linear. However, their extreme respect of knowledge and intelligence will motivate them to explain themselves to another person who they feel is deserving of the effort.
I have long been familiar with that profile.
It really doesn't apply here.
This is something altogether different.
I really have no difficulty expressing my opinions on this matter.
I left some openness to the thread intentionally and on purpose.
When something dumb was said, I called it out as such.
Then Riva felt the need to bust out his Fe rulebook.
He's tried this before, and, frankly, I don't care for it.
As am I.
