Actually, it's something like: Hug the World and Carry a Big Slith Spear. EDIT: And you raise the point of any typing system, which you know at least as well as I do, considering your background in MBT. It's limited and tends to put people into boxes they don't appreciate. MBT uses four axes (that's plural of axis, not weaponry), which intuitively suggests how limited a breakdown it is. It isn't about to get at the nuances of anyone's personality that an 8 axis system might do a bit better, for instance. And there is no system which comes close to truly pinning down inscrutable, irreplaceable, one and only you after all.

quote:True. Personally, I find that the whole system is most useful when used as it was designed; to describe and identify the cognitive functions. As a side note: An MBTI workshop teacher I know recently clarified that many experts consider F-T, at least, to not quite an axis as some view Fi, Fe, Ti, and Te as somewhat independant rational processes. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

quote:I personally agree. I am a strong F, yet I do a hella lot of analytical thinking too, so that some people who usually don't know me well yet comment on that aspect. I don't think of T-F as part of the same continuum as it may be presented, but both are independent qualities. One could be high in both, and therefore relate well to a strongly Feeling person or a strong Thinker, but it would chart out as a middle of the axis rating after an MBT test. -------------------- A4 Items List A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List G4 Insidious Infiltrator NR Items List Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

*nod* to what Alex said. In my eyes, Fi and Ti are points on the same continuum, and likewise Fe and Te; there are really two functions at work (say, Ji and Je). -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I am a consistent IS_J. Depending on mood, I'll be F or T. F is the result I get more often, and whether or not I end up F or T, it's always 50% for that. [ Monday, February 13, 2006 18:28: Message edited by: dareva ] Posts: 437 | Registered: Sunday, July 13 2003 07:00 |

All the Keirsey/MBTI tests I've seen, which have been mostly but not exclusively disreputable, have suffered from confirmation bias. You tell the test what you're like and then, lo and behold, it can tell you what you're like, on average! Well, mostly what you're like, but the wrong parts aren't so important, right? It's entertaining, but I'm not sure I have much faith in the MBTI's psychological underpinnings. —Alorael, who could arbitrarily come up with any number of axes upon which judge people and divide them into 2^n categories.

Well, it's nothing to live your life by. Merely a thing by which you can amuse and divert folk. It's always fun, for example, to watch someone who believes in these things wholeheartedly to try to come to terms with results that don't accord with what they think they're like. You can almost hear the sound of their brains exploding. Posts: 437 | Registered: Sunday, July 13 2003 07:00 |

Thankfully, I did not get any.

I didn't receive any. I didn't even get to spend the day with Alyssa :( . But we spent saturday together and I got a kiss so I guess "Valentines Day" was better than usual. Posts: 15 | Registered: Saturday, December 24 2005 08:00 |

Being in highschool I see the whole "Valentines day is so stupid I'm glad I didn't get any valentines/ a date". Kind of sad that it really tears them apart. I guess thats a way to keep yourself from getting hurt. Pretend you didn't want it in the first place. Playground Psycology 101. Posts: 15 | Registered: Saturday, December 24 2005 08:00 |

Geez, Ash, if I spend time playing with my friends' kids or playing with my nieces or counseling teens, is that creepy too? I enjoy people of all ages, but I'll state plainly, if it helps, that I love women, not girls. Haven't you seen me razzin' a certain someone around here all the time about his little fixation on Rosycat and Japanese girls? That's not some kind of weird displacement going on. It creeps me out too. I do find Nico very amusing. So sue me, I guess. ;) -------------------- A4 Items List A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List G4 Insidious Infiltrator NR Items List Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |
