If INTP's had their own Reality Show.............

[David Carolina]

I think it would be called "Brain Swap".

The contestants would be forced to share a hut with an extroverted multi-level marketing troll named 'bob'.

WIth electrodes attached to their genitals, the INTP would try to think about selling toilet brushes, and the salesman would try to think about how to stop compulsively bothering people.

Whoever got the erections wins. ANy other ideas for reality shows?

[CoHo]

I'd make a reality TV show called CROSSBOW

It would be just like American Idol except people would randomly get shot with a CROSSBOW

And then people would be like "Oh shit, no, not the crossbow" and then BAM! CROSSBOW!

[kikthinking]

if INTP's had a reality show, it will be about a group of INTP's sitting in front of the computer, creating a second identity and building a community on an internet forum.

I think a better idea would be to put one of each type in the house. 16 might be too much, but 8 would work - half of different extraverted types and the other half of different introverted types.

Or do a Real World v. Road Rules competition with 8 different sensor types on one side and 8 different intuitive types on the other. The competitions would be evenly divided between physical and mental challenges.

The challenges could be focused on forcing types to encounter their weaknesses: an ESFJ could be confronted by an abstract logic problem while an INTP could be forced to pick up a girl in a bar!

My idea is to put an ESTJ & an ENTJ in a place where he/she can't talk and the only way to communicate is by writing everything down. Some INTP's would then analyze every bit of what the ESTJ & an ENTJ would write and correct it w/out objections. Whichever breaks down first loses.

I got one :)

Take 4 INTP's, lock them in a vault.
Blare hip-hop, songs about love, the recorded musings of narcissistic teenage girls explaining why yesterday was like the worst day ever!, Sarah Palins alaska projected on the floor, walls, and ceiling, and just for good measure add one rat sized chihuaha (I failed elementary spanish) which runs about the room during regular blackouts, preventing confident movement due to fear of smashing the poor thing.

And then at the end of each week, we lower in a .45 caliber semi automatic pistol.

Last one living wins, unless it's the chihuaha, it would be taken to the set of my other game show where we force a PETA member to fast a full month with nothing in the rooma but the chihuaha and a george forman grill.

^^^Are the INTP's together? In the same room? Do you only add one pistol per week? Will it have bullets? I expect the game would end one week in, and not the way you might have thought when drafting this scenario:

1. The INTP's would band together and break out through a MacGuyver worthy device cobbled together using the return spring on the pistol, fulminated mercury from the primers in the bullets, the paper cones from the speakers, and the chihuahua. It would be inspired by a line from a narcissistic teenager about how the AC going out lead to the worst day ever.

2. Three INTP's would be strangled in their sleep. Ironically, the second INTP strangled was the one who strangled the first one. The third dead would be strangled by a trained chihuahua.

3. First one to the gun wins. Even without bullets. Gun Kata. It's a passive class bonus.

I watch a lot of reality TV shows while I'm on the exercise bike, I especially enjoy the ones where some poor sap has to work in some horrible conditions like a fishing boat, and gets abused by his boss for his pains. Because of this I find myself playing out a little drama in my head where I'm in my own reality TV show.

I think there's still some elbow room for a no-holds-barred, knitty-gritty dumpster diving show.

Goodwill acceptance = 3 points

Pawnshop money = 1 point/dollar

Coolest Item Bonus = 15 points by arbitrary host's decision

Maybe you'd get a point for every bite of something that you swallow on camera, too.

It's an allegory for reality TV, or something.
