How many have you read so far? -
@Hansu I think young guys mistype themselves as INTP a lot, especially with a surface understanding of MBTI. I thought I was one, but now INFP makes so much more sense (although some of my tests show Ti).

Perspectivalism doesn't abolish distinctions. It instead puts distinctions into a larger context. You're still able to perceive hierarchical order (infact it's this ability that gets refined). The differences in scale and style of different perspectives are more readily recognized (global meta-perspectives vs. local micro-perspectives). It seems like you want to bring Blue up to the same level as Green. You can't. However, you can extend the same level of consideration for each stage. That doesn't mean you treat them the same, but in considering each stage, it brings you on a level above both. That is essentially what the Tier 1 perspectives are lacking: discernment between considering a perspective and adopting it (and not just posturing it like Orange but actually embodying it in practice).

Society. My definition explains for example why Leo gets lumped in with schizophrenics even though he is not that (willingness vs. ability). Also, don't forget that I'm generalizing (it's a spectrum). Schizophrenia is a spectrum as well. I'm saying that the tendency is that it makes you less able (as well as inclined/willing) to conform. -

Maybe, but if you're struggling to lose weight, maybe cut the potatoes. As an example, potatoes have almost 3x more carbs than broccoli. What about eating those carbs in broccoli and see how satiated you'll be in comparison? -

In theory, yes. However, diet is mostly about finding what's practical. Everybody knows the theory behind weight loss (calories out > calories in). The problem is how to do it in practice. Some foods are easier to gain weight than others. Try eating nothing but carrots and you'll get my point. One facet of health is about getting just the right amount of each nutrient. Even though the carbohydrates in potatoes aren't exactly poisonous to your body, it's very easy to get too much, and that is unhealthy. So in that sense ("in theory"), it's not really so much about what you eat as how much you eat. But then again, eating the right types of food helps with that "in practice". -

It makes you gain weight if you eat too much -

In an absolutely infinite universe, all distinctions collapse. Then, the only "a priori truth" (true in all cases) that could exist is "there is existence, reality, oneness": any differentiation within this "whole" is either local (i.e not true for the whole) or merely assumed (postulated without evidence) and thus not "a priori" . If the universe is absolutely infinite, there is no such thing as pseudoscience. Magic is real, elves exist, gravity is reversed. -

The problem with solipsism isn't that it's narcissistic; it's that it's not narcissistic enough. If the solipsist dared to collapse all distinctions and claim it all as himself, then he would go full circle and realize that there is no longer a self to be narcissistic about ?? -
Carl-Richard replied to Gesundheit's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Confusing non-duality (the Self is the only thing that exists) with classical solipsism (the small self is the only thing that exists) is literally just the relative/absolute fallacy. Non-duality says the Self is the only thing that exists — the small self doesn't exist. There are no people, including yourself. End of story. -

The inverse of sociocultural conformity (willingness), compatibility (natural inclination) and functionality (ability). In other words, are you unwilling, not inclined, or unable to conform? Then, from the perspective of the sociocultural environment, you are considered insane. -
There is also variability of your own system that can cause averse reactions. Keyword: "long break".

If you want a really good example of Se, look up TrainwrecksTv. He is a really great storyteller because of how he fills it to the brim with descriptions of external details. It almost feels like you were there.

I don't know where to post this, but it's about "kriyas" (sponatenous movements caused by kundalini energy). This singer is what you could consider a one in a million natural talent, but what I'm interested about is her hand movements. It reminds me very much of kriyas in the sense that they're fast-paced, smooth and erratic all at the same time. Might she have an awakened kundalini? I tend to get a really a substantial "contact high" so to speak from listening to her. Maybe she was born with it as well (could explain her unique talent and personality). I know of one other person who claims he was born with an awakened kundalini (Jan Esmann), and he is a professional hyperrealist painter, extremely talented. -

Fuck it, I made my own chart with those numbers: Close enough
-
None of the images are linked to the original source, but you can search through Google Scholar and find similar studies with similar numbers. This one seems the most promising: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.4219/jsge-2004-449?casa_token=FP3maiTlUFgAAAAA:0KhGSw94xqC7yCiHXfB8VM2wOMBw2CZ3ldRVrv39q4rlebQw7LgupoOFquFPmMq9yj_75uumTgc The ratios in this table seem to roughly fit the chart after you divide them by a factor of 2. For example, INTP = (12.05/3.54)/2 = 1.70. The person who made the chart may have done that for aesthetic reasons. The numbers might have also been adjusted slightly if the chart comes from a later study (or a completely different one), which might explain why INTP ratio is 1.76 and not 1.70 in the chart. I can't find a table for that though.

Thanks — now I want a chart for that too

@integral I don't get the frustration. It's like you've been assigned to count fruits in a basket but you insist on calling it apples. That is besides the point my man

The study uses academic giftedness (they sampled the academic perfomance of students). It could be used as a rough measurement for intellectual giftedness.
