During my daily Google session I found this very amusing piece of work:

Spots are common!?! (http://www.adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.10.9.111543.378.html)

By the way, I apologize if this has previously been posted. I am new (hello), and I tried my best to scan/search to see if someone had already brought this to your attention.

That sounds familiar. Regardless, it's a pretty good satire. I especially like, "INTPs have a high boredom threshold."

heh heh. I think the author confuses NT with sociopath.

anyway, the article's not half as funny as the serious reactions people had to it.

Indeed. Unfortunately, the person with the most serious reaction to it (madscientist) actually claims to be an INTP.

"Your post hurt the feelings of many INTPs and INTJs, not only for the inflammatory remarks you posted about us, but also because you posted a lot if misinformation about us. I would like for you to apologize to all of us. "

Yikes. I guess we can't all have a sense of humor.

Yes, this has been posted before. I have posted it in the past. That's OK, though. It is still humorous (at least, all of the negative responses to it).

It all depends on what kind of society that one wants to create what order one puts the hierarchy in. An INTP/INTJ society would definitely be quite different than an INFP-led society.

"The INTPs are the lowest of the low, and can also be quite dangerous" - On this they are correct - we may write books. Ooooh!
