heinelINTPs are a quiet bunch, isn't it :P
This is probably only relevant to people who liked reading.
I have a question. People had always described INTPs with detachment. While I generally agree with the statement, I think I found an exception (maybe), at least for myself. When I read an angsty piece of fiction, and especially if the author is vivid when describing psychological or physical distress, I tend to get afflicted by the emotion and feel really awful for it. There really is no good reasons for it but I'd just brood over it for a bit. (If it made no sense, This was what prompted the question)
So what was it, I am actually not as detached as I thought? I am influenced to feel something I don't? Or is this how it works?
