View Full Version : What do you think of the SJ forum???

It (the SJ guardhouse) doesn't seem to move much and I was thinking is it because we don't really get into debates, does it seem to be just an advice board or are we all lost in our own worlds?

There are many more similar questions. I am sure you can answer more of them without having to ask and I would hate to ask more, since I hate those stupid surveys that ask the same questions -over and over - coming into my email box..

Opinions, thoughts, and feelings welcomed from all members of Typology Central.

Not active enough in my opinion.

yeah, ITS BORING!! SJs are lazy fux, for real.

I agree Recoleta, it really should be more active. Although it seems seems some of my threads get moved down to fluff. lol

I know I am usually busy in the real world, there is so much that needs to be completed or there are things that I wish to do.

So the more prevalent types on this forum, do they get on to communicate, learn or understand? What is it that makes them post so much? I'm wondering if they criticize others like they have done here. Is this the way used to start a debate? Maybe that is why we are boring. We don't get our feathers ruffled so easily..

Anyhow I will be off for awhile, there is a book that I haven't finished reading and there is work that "should" be completed.. :D

Be back later.. bye.

Yes reading between the lines is not my style, whoever talked about making assumptions (makes an ass out of u and me) must have been an S..
Could it be laziness, as one so elegantly put it, to bother using analogies and metaphors, or could it be honesty and bluntness??

Could you please define political hedging in more detail?

:hi: Blackcat!! Glad to see you here, as of now, I haven't much of a life. Unless, drinking coffee while browsing the net is living. hahaha

You could be on to something here...perhaps our belief systems and values are not as fluid as the other types. I mean, the SJs apparently get the label of "rigid" anyway. Usually when I do post I already have an opinion in place. People are welcome to debate it, but at the end of the day it's unlikely that I will change my position (not impossible, but also not probable). I like a good debate, but I find them exhausting. I come to the forum to escape the real world. The last thing I wanna do is debate about serious topics...my real life is serious enough. :D

What I find funny is that the other types will sometimes jump to the conclusion that my decision/belief was made based on following someone/something and without taking into careful consideration why I believe it...which is not even close. Every one of my beliefs I have examined and reexamined...we are the inspectors for crying out loud! We thrive on picking things apart and analyzing every detail. There is always rationalization behind my decisions. Just because another person doesn't agree does not invalidate my POV...and you're right, Eiddy, it doesn't ruffle my feathers to have someone disagree with me. Personally, I don't like conflict, so I'd likely just walk away saying "to each their own."

It's a combination of the fact that there aren't as many SJs as other types on here, and that the SJ attitude is more matter-of-fact and less debate-oriented than say... the NTs or NFs.

I can identify with you so completely. I come here to escape the real world. I love making friends and I just don't have the time or energy to have a conflict with someone.. I will just ignore it or claim ignorance. LOL

Analyzing every detail. I have always loved doing that. Looking at leaves and putting ants on them to float down a stream or looking at the tiny forest to be found in a tiny area of grass, interests me.

I know that I am not the person with a problem when others tend to disagree.. I am an ISFJ who can disagree with a person that is on your side to begin with in the first place. hahaha

I take it that others are just having a day (life) or whatever and figure if they knew me better than they really shouldn't take offense.. I can't function enough on the things I need to take care of, much less giving more energy to maintain a conflict just for the sake of conflict..

I'm going back to play a game in arcade.. Call me if there is an emergency. LOL

lots of hugs to you Recoleta..

All you gotta do is go here - Interactive Johari Window - take the test online (http://kevan.org/johari) (and here: The Nohari Window - Personality Flaw Map (http://kevan.org/nohari)) and follow the instructions at the top and bottom. :cool:

hahaha yes I have been there, but I don't know you well enough to give an accurate assessment of your personality. Judging from other ISTJ's that I have had in class, they were the best students from the boys. We seemed to get along great..

Now you oh so smarty pants how can I get one to have others assess me??? LOL

No problem.^^ And thanks for filling out my window.

I'm gonna use this opportnity to advertise my windows. Everyone out there, please critique and compliment me:

... and perhaps most of us live our lives out more in the real world...so maybe we don't frequent the forum as often?

Plus, we're likely the most-hated group on the forum and people think they know "all they need to know" about us since we are so prevalent in the real world, so they don't bother to come and ask questions. Of the few times others ask questions, it is usually asking for dating advice or something.

I'm pretty damn busy irl, but I multi task well. And I don't handle down time well. If I am waiting for something, it's very easy for me to respond to a post.

I don't hate you guys. It's really more that I don't understand you guys. Which is why I ask questions (I remember a particular thread about always getting the 3rd degree...)

So the more prevalent types on this forum, do they get on to communicate, learn or understand? What is it that makes them post so much? I'm wondering if they criticize others like they have done here. Is this the way used to start a debate? Maybe that is why we are boring. We don't get our feathers ruffled so easily..

Our (or at least my) feathers don't ruffle so easily at all. And I don't feel like we criticize each other. I come here to gain understanding. I do this through asking questions about a variety of different topics so I can get a clear picture about a person or a type. I find SJs often just ask the question they are interested in hearing the answer to, so the threads don't move as quickly. I was always taught that if you really want to know a person, never ask a question that can be answered with a yes or no.

You could be on to something here...perhaps our belief systems and values are not as fluid as the other types. I mean, the SJs apparently get the label of "rigid" anyway. Usually when I do post I already have an opinion in place.

I come to the forum to escape the real world. The last thing I wanna do is debate about serious topics...my real life is serious enough. :D

I rarely come to a decision, but when I do it's based on careful thought and I cannot be swayed. But I'm still interested in why others hold the opinions that they hold, especially when it seems so clear to me that it should be a different way. It's not conflict, it's curiosity.

I get on here to get out of the real world, too. So I answer topics (generally) about what interests me.

What things would you rather discuss? You should just start posting threads about that stuff...

Well, the SJs are certainly lacking in numbers compared to the NTs and NFs (do we have the SPs beat in numbers?).

Anyway, yeah, it is pretty boring because there really aren't debates or fluff going on. I think for the most part, the SJs here mostly get along and are pretty agreeable with one another, and perhaps most of us live our lives out more in the real world...so maybe we don't frequent the forum as often?

Personally, I'd like to see this part of the forum more active.

The SJs are out busy having a life. :tongue:

Yes .. More activity on this forum would be gratefully appreciated. :D

For the most part I think the majority type is ISTJ in regards to active members and all of us happen to agree on like... EVERYTHING. So there aren't many discussions and the end relatively quickly cause we are to the point.

Perhaps we just decided to agree to disagree.

It was the deciding factor to put the post count as the total to measure it. Plus I was hoping since it had to do with SJ forum, that maybe it would be logical to leave the post where it was. Someone, I got the great feeling, was looking for a way to move it to fluff.

Well it has to do with SJ's whatever we talk about and stands as an accurate measurement of how far we have come, or haven't. :D

True, but not true. I don't see to much disagreement and what there is we usually resolve pretty quickly, but in some instances, yes.

Think it's more to do with curiosity. The NT and NF boards frequently exchange questions to each other, where as exchange of interests in SJs and SPs seem to be more limited. Occasionally we'll get some NTs and NFs that come here to play with us. :D

But overall lots of topics can be found in the other sub-forums.
