Hi, even though I'm an INFP, I'm always keen to meet fellow introverts! Just wondering if there actually are any introverts in Brisbane, Australia?

:highfive:

Sunny climates really seem to polarize introverts and extroverts.

My ISTP friend just moved there and got a job as a motor bike courier. Be warned :grin:

Well, I leave you all alone for 5 minutes and look what happens.......

Meeting up isn't weird...it is a nice facet of life actually.....even introverts can fake social skills for an hour or so......hmmmph.....

:highfive:
Well i'd be up for it. What is it that people do when they go "outside", anyways?

Hmm, maybe a viewing of 300 at the imax when it's released?

It's best to travel at night, when the SJs are asleep or in restaurants. During the day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day) there is this solar radiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight). It burrrrrrrrrns!

Nope, Perth. If isolation's your gig, Perth is the place to be.

another brissy introvert (that can fake social skills) signing up here - even though I'm probably about a year and a half too late right?

Still, I'm open to the idea of meeting up when / if it ever happens.

I'm also from Brisbane. Let me know if there are any more of you who want to meet up and I'll try to organise something and probably bring my other INTP friend along.

To reply to the OP, my estimate is that there are something between 15,000 and 50,000 INTPs in Brisbane.

Edit: I am only counting the live ones.

Conclusion: Brisbanites are the most P of INTPs.

An Australian made fun of me when I pronounced Brisbane as "Brisbane." How is it supposed to be pronounced?

Brizzben, or maybe Brizzbin. The second syllable is very short.

An Australian once made fun of me for pronouncing Melbourne as "Mel born". (It should be Melb'n.)

By way of retaliation, I have refused to set foot in the country ever since.

I'm not sure what the country has against proper pronunciation. Especially mutilating the poor vowels into diphthongs.... what are you doing to ENGLISH????

bluebell

It's proper English, damnit.

The Aussie dialect has some done some interesting things to the Germanic language fondly referred to by the English as "English". They have also molested Gaelic and Celtic names. Try pronouncing "Cairns" in Australia and you might find it has transformed into "Cans". Latin names are probably treated a bit better with Nullarbor. At least the Aboriginal names are relatively easy to prounounce. It really doesn't get easier than "Wagga Wagga". In NZ on the other hand, try pronouncing Maori with "Wh" becoming "f". e.g. Whakapapa, or for the more advanced Whangamomona with the nga pronounced as nah.

Cairns rhymes with care, not can.
For "care" I say "cair" and for "can" I say "cairn".
Are you saying that "cairns" is pronounced "care" or "cares"??
BTW I live near Brisbane...

I pronounce care the same as you. Can rhymes with Anne for me.

Are you saying that "cairns" is pronounced "care" or "cares"??

"carens" if that makes sense.
