Nonsense, it means nothing. Its what people say when they really mean to say "for all intents and purposes".
1. For all intents and purposes = Correct
2. To all intents and purposes = Correct
3. For all intensive purposes = WRONG! You should have paid attention in English class!

When you let out a small fart and think no one will notice, but then you are the first to realize that it was a fart to be reckoned with, and deeply regret the coming accusations by peers.
John: (to himself) I think ill let out this fart it seems just like a pocket of air.
(several seconds and it disperses)
John: (to himself) Oh shit damn! (he experiences intense farting remorse) That fart was the real deal. My ass is grass.
John's Boss: John, was that you? Holy shit how do you expect me to conduct a meeting after that? Just pack your shit and get out of the office by 3 PM
Nearby Attractive Women: We will NEVER have sex with that man and we will also tell our friends not to.

Originally used in common American/English vernacular as 'all intents and purposes' by just barely unintelligent people trying to sound as if the 'intents and purposes' surrounding them are highly important.
This phrase has since been changed to 'all intensive purposes' by people who do not listen carefully to the original phrase used in poorly written movies and who have also never seen it in print in equally poorly written books.
Also, the person listening to a speaker who says 'all intensive purposes' is likely to overlook it.

Tanar: Yeah, you're pretty much by best friend, but for all intensive purposes we'll just call it a tie between you and Kelsey.
Alyssa: Okay!

de facto: The phrase is a corruption of "for all intents and purposes" by persons who have heard the phrase, but have not read it in it's proper form. It means "for all intents, and for all purposes."
de jure: Taken literally, the phrase means "for purposes which are intense. All purposes which are not intense are not included." This is almost completely opposite to what is meant by most people, and is why it is imperitive that persons use the proper phrase.

Frequently spoken by a complete fucking retard, usually from Alabama, who intends to say "For all intents and purposes".
Not sharking layer 2, for keybros errors in authentication for all intensive purposes renders remedial remediations virtually worthless. Errgo, a waste of your time.
