[INTP] If you put 30 INTPs in a room together...

[Orangey]

good point, better hold off accepting female members..

Pfft!

 

[INA]

I thought it was a council of the wise.

 

[Lateralus]

INTPs are like an inert gas, like radon. They're mostly boring and they might smell a little funny. But after you've been around them long enough, you'll die of cancer.

 

[gomi]

How big is this room? Is there furniture? Are there restrooms? Refreshments? An itinerary? Windows? A candlestick?
The butler did it...

As for the room of 20 ESFPs... How much air is left in the room? How fast is the room filling with water? How fast is the ship sinking? How fast can we make it sink?

...

Sry. Projecting.

 

[Anja]

Hee.

Um. If you put thirty INTPs in a room together they could FINALLY use one of their infamous blanket statements of black and white certainty.

They could say (in unison), "EVERBODY'S in the same room together!"

Then one of them would say, "Yeah but, I've got one arm out the window so it doesn't count. . ."

And then they could start having fun.

At least one would argue that this could all be an illusion.

 

[Didums]

Orgy.

 

[Provoker]

Some of the INTPs would get accused of being an F... eventually only 5 would remain alive, and they will be the messiahs of the next major religion.

Is T more conducive to survival than F (all else equal)? How then to explain why Ts are a minority in the general population?

I don't think T is more conducive to survival. And from what I've seen, INTPs are the most likely to be suicidal. That is, of course, anecdotal.

 

[NoahFence]

Survival of the individual, or of the species?

 

[Haphazard]

T is most certainly not conductive to survival.

Between all the stunts STPs try to pull off, all the TJs working themselves to death, and all the NTPs going sterile from working with those fun nuclear reactors, I'm surprised there are any left at all.

 

[Lateralus]

Survival of the individual, or of the species?

Both.

 

[Jack Flak]

We'd plan an escape, then hunt down Lateralus.

 

[sandwich]

They would divide into ten groups of three people.

 

[Priam]

...?

They would all go home.

 

[substitute]

You'd need to also put 30 computers in the room, so they could talk to each other

 

[Misty_Mountain_Rose]

Hehe wow... this thread is funny. I wish I'd found it sooner.

*Pulls up a chair*

 

[substitute]

Assuming they've got the computers... the only thing any of them would die from would be starvation and thirst, as they became utterly lost and addicted in an online game that was set up to settle a three-day debate over the definition of the word 'those'.

 

[Tallulah]

They would all go home.

This is the most realistic option. Nobody holding us here? See ya!

Otherwise:

They would divide into ten groups of three people.

Yup!

You'd need to also put 30 computers in the room, so they could talk to each other

This would be even better.

 

[zago]

I'm sure some sort of nerd-elite group would form, and then they would start acting like SJs. There is no way I would be accepted into this group. At first I might wish I were, but in the end I would be disgusted by their self-righteous behavior and would spend my days on the outskirts of things, throwing out thoughts once in a while to see if there is anyone out there who I can jive with.

Actually that's pretty much what it is like at INTPc.
