When you read PerC members' signatures, see a lot of quotes in Latin, so you decide to register for a Latin class, just so you can understand what sayings are what without having to look stuff up online...
And Latin is fucking awesome.

when you hear a new song that is just right, so you listen to it on repeat for hours because of the beautiful mental imagery that plays in your head, in beat to the song...

You know you're an intp when you find an awesome song for the first time, then you look at when it was made, and say "damn i've been missing out on this for that long!?"
Boss: Proteus, it says you haven't signed into IM in 67 days?
Me: I know, we already have one IM client so I turned that one off.
Boss: But it turns on automatically? Even if you don't use it, it should still sign you in.
Me: I disabled the autologin since I never use it.
Boss: Oh?...Uh...You were out of the office on Friday?
Me: Yes. You approved it a few weeks ago.
Boss: Oh..I must have forgotten to put it on the calendar. You know we had a meeting then right?
Me: Yes. (that's why I took the day off)
Boss: Well, you were being recognized for being here 5 years. I had this whole thing I was going to say! Well here it is now (hands me a cheap plaque that wound up in a drawer I chuck all the miscellany they hand out for remembering to wash your hands after pissing and such)
Me: Alright...thanks
Boss: You have something in your hair (string thingy from a banana I had eaten at least an hour beforehand)
-When you decide where you'd like to navigate to, while on PerC, or just the computer, and you try to find the way there using the least amount of mouse clicks. (Perhaps it's just me, and that fact that my computer takes for-eh-VER!)
-When you think of something brilliant to post in a particular thread, by the time you get there and you're ready to type, you've forgotten what it was. Then you try to bring yourself back to that particular train of thought and trace your way back.
-When you leave PerC for the moment, because you realize Jeopardy is on, right now!
When you start contemplating something in one place, finish contemplating it in another, and have no recollection of how you actually got from point A to point B in the meantime.
When you get a mild degout for the oversimplifications in early sociology and instead you spend a day braingasming about
RSA Animates - YouTube
these lovely suckers.
You end up watching every single one of them, being driven to considering the points they bring deeply and wanting to add and discuss things more and more, instead of just sitting there admiring these folks as brilliant minds and yes-nodding in overwhelmed awe.
When you study ethology and single-handedly decide that some of the models proposed are constructed in a way that's mathematical bullshit and devise your own alternative notation that in your eyes sums up the theory a lot more understandably, and can actually be translated into proper maths rather than an amalgamation of unmeasurable, nondynamic abstractions.
I mean jesus, when I look at a formula I want to be able to pick it apart and figure out for myself what the predictions are, not stand there having to wait for whomever to explain to me what they meant to sketch because they're multiplying apples with pears.
When everybody at a class pre-graduation party uses the one time when you are drunk (ie. weak and not in full control of yourself) to hug you repeatedly (fully conscient of the fact that you hate it) , take photos of this great 'event/achievement', make whole albums of it on Facebook and use the photos as profile pictures which "will never be changed no matter what" .....
When someone wants to see what you're like when you're drunk...
When you're sitting on the toilet pooping and thinking about your kitten pooping, then wondering, "Why do cats bury their poop?" and look for the answer online afterwards...
When you image google random things just to see what will come up...
