Shift supervisor, yeah.

Mostly textbook narcissism. Actually, the argument above for why I think heterosexual males in our culture are especially threatened by gays is based on observations of him.

He once said to me "Yeah, them gays you gotta watch out for... 'cause they will rape you" (his emphasis).

I got so pissed at him I just went off with "Oh yeah, them gays. They're just lining up 'round the block to rape me... you just can't see 'em right now 'cause they're hiding behind the bushes."

He started by nodding and saying "For real, man, I know!" Then you could see the sarcasm sink in on his thick skull... He got so uncomfortable he just left. Unfortunately that was the beginning of the end for that job. He started screwing with me, fake write-ups and getting me assigned to a new schedule that eventually forced me to quit.

Limited experience thus far, but I think I'd have to agree.

Please feel free to message me whenever. I enjoy talking to you.

HAHAH!

Ohhh... that sounds like my INTP friend. I love her to death. Whenever I'm being too serious or something, bam. She straightens me out. Plus she's just constantly funny to me. Most adorable thing ever. I keep trying to check and see if they make her in a mail-order variety.

Isn't it though? That's why I love the Nash Equilibrium (the name for his blonde solution)!

INTJs are calm and tolerant because we tend to limit the interference of our emotions in our decision-making. When listening to a friend I assume their problems have logical causes, therefor have logical solutions. Their emotions are a real consequence for them, regardless of whether or not their problems are serious the consequences are. So, I think that cool detachment helps.

What do you mean about INTPs?

About five years, a few months before I first joined here.

INTJs are all about efficiency and implementing the best strategy. Whenever you talk about efficiency, you're talking about the maximum effect for the minimal work. So we have to define both work and effect. We're natural problem solvers, so when people come to us with problems the desire is to resolve them as efficiently as possible.

John Nash, the mathematician, was an INTJ. Have you ever seen the movie A Beautiful Mind? He wrote an absolutely brilliant concept best expressed in this link. Anyway, the idea that the MOST good can be achieved through a cooperative strategy definitely seems to hold a lot of weight for INTJs.

Also, when we define "maximum effect" as a desire to produce the most good that might be linked somehow.

Final answer? I'm not really sure...

Very interesting indeed to see a parallel comparison! Thank you for sharing! Another thing I have noted in my current profession, which is security, is the different reasons people get into the job. Several exaggeratedly masculine individuals saw it as a form of approved violence whereby they could "bust heads" with approval. I took the job and enjoy it because I get paid to resolve problems and help people. I get the opportunity to diffuse situations. Others see it as opportunities to slam some guy into a wall and handcuff him.

That's great to hear. I've been working on watching these videos as well as chatting with an ENTP friend who knows a lot; you might like them.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'm by no means an expert but I've been learning more lately, so that's just my current understanding of things.

Me too! The ayes have it!

Succinct post, ma'am.
