well i would think it's a compliment and a curse at the same time. Being an idea person has it's ups and downs, the downer being that you are so damn rare there are very few whom you can relate to, thus you become alienated from the rest of society.

@ intj123

Alienation factor is greatly reduced by Youtube!

[parispeter2]

The obvious - and philosophically deepest - origin of this is the three classes in Plato's "Republic". The big question is whether these classes are natural or man-made. I tend to think they're a mix, but mainly man-made. What's your source here, by the way?

[cropperb]

No source. Just a saying I heard years ago.

personally i don t like that version it is trying to relate intelligent to social class also it falls into the trap of generlizations i never heard the 3 type thing before have you ever tried to relate it to the 3 levels of the brain

[cropperb]

The association with social class is just a metaphor for the relative intelligence of the three idffert types. Obviously there would be rich aristocrats who gossiped and there would be poor people who are geniuses. But the metaphor is a nice way to "visualize" the relative distinction of the "type" of person you are. See?

No theres 3 types of people,

Dicks... Pussies... and Assholes.

[REBELMINDFUCK]

fuck you, you slow speaking mother fucker. i hate your guts, and the fact that you think you are a superior intellectual; makes me want to punch you till you cry and ban you from society.

ah, no better schematic than this one to insulate 'thinkers' and 'reflectors' from the real world and convince themselves that their tasks are of a higher, purer cloth. I dont think the list is exhaustive. there is room still for a higher human. one who acts, but knows the significance of his actions. one who feels explosively alive and is constantly improving himself, overstepping where he was before. one who does not have time for youtube or wondering where he fits in in the world. he is comin

@intj123 True, I feel at times it becomes challenging to find idea-driven people like oneself...

[MsVenaLuna]

Then there's the people who generalize too much.

there are 5 types of people in the world

[BenderBurgers]

I talk mostly about ideas,then things and hardly ever people.i do talk about other people's ideas but not so much about them.people are pretty boring for the most part.I mean how many times can you have a constructive or meaningful conversation about dicks and pussies.Can be fun sometimes but after say the age of 20+ ,and for some people 30+, its fucking stupid but for the most part thats what most people talk about.Either their genitals or other people's genitals.

[darkmeaaster]

i talk about all three

[TheAlexagius]

Acording to team america (the truth on the world) there are three kinds of people dicks assholes and pussies, pussies let eveny dick fuck them and so do some assholes but in the end asshols come and shit on your dicks and pussies
