:shocking: BlueWing makes a very good case here.
All bluewing is doing is telling us about how poriferan didn't lay out each step of his 'arguement'- and in doing so, BW again displayed his own obvious Te preference yet again.
On the other hand, INTPs often DON'T seem very logical to others, sometimes they don't even seem logical to other Ti's. Ti=INTROVERTED thinking.

which is true
furthermore, he referred to the Ti and Fi as interchangeable

By the way, while putting on my pyjamas it just come to my mind:
1) You should think about putting your own stones together before, throwing them on someone else
2) You should think about, what you want to accomplish here for anyone, if not for yourself
3) You should now that we all here are out of the same reason, so great differences cant be
4) And important of all, you should think that MBTI is only something that gives hope to hopeless people not a scientific guideline
4th is hard and I dont like it, but it's true
I disagree with this. I think many INTP display their Ti in their postings.
I never said they don't display thier Ti.

Well, I(obviously) feel like defending my title as an INTP, but that doesn't mean I feel much loyalty to anyone else that's an INTP. No gang mentality for me. But yes, if you just throw in a little mention for people like me and haphazard, you basically have an accurate picture of the MBTI community

Every person possesses all functions to varying degrees of preference. So we all contain facets of every type. The way we choose or are made to prefer to behave gives us a type, but with maturity and experience we can access all the others. That's how we grow :)
Re: BlueWing's typing of MP
I can totally see why one wouldn't want to be branded an F by BlueWing since he has a whole set of lore about Fs that isn't very flattering. Still, I've long thought MP seemed more INFPish (not an insult) than INTPish. Never bothered to build a case for it since *ahem* it doesn't matter, but after subtracting the anti-F bias from BlueWing's posts he makes a pretty solid one, IMO.

Thank you Ivy.
The problem in this thread is that so few people truly understand typology well enough to tell the difference between Ti and F.
Magic Poriferan does frequently, admit it or not, make value judgements. Regardless of visible emotions (which he dismissed as non-F or... inconclusively mistaken as F... whatever bullshit he was trying to throw down) there's still plenty of evidence -- more than just what BlueWing posted quotes of -- showing that he's more F than T.
Feeling judgement can be displayed in a number of ways. Sometimes by raw emotive action, or sometimes by professing values just like Thinking can be demonstrated by mean behavior, or can be identified by their thorough diagram of a concept.
They're not always present in the same situations.

Ick, don't go there.
You're not allowed to use Te if you're an INTP?
Making an argument in a post where you lay out various steps is now grounds to dismiss an INTP read?
That's unrealistic. How else can you make an argument?
I have to say, if you also grow up in an environment that is antagonistic or seeks to devalue your opinion, you quickly pick up a Te-mentality in order to defend yourself, regardless of your type, at least if you're in the 'thinker' camp.
(As one example from my personal experience, the conservative church values Te thinking and devalues Ti in an argument, because it likes clear and detailed "proof" of your position and doesn't like ambiguity or conceptual thought very much as a basis for faith. I realized why I felt so awful much of the time in that environment; and part of it was that I was being forced to Te my belief statements when I just don't work that way naturally.)

I think in writing the Ti is far more obvious. In person or in casual dialogues, usually the Ne is much more visible, and since the Ti is always processing new information, it's hard to want to commit externally to a particular argument (which keeps it hidden too).

This is precisely my experience. Before getting into type, most of my time was on a Christian debate board, and it is all Te-land. They can take scripture ["proof"]-texts and make the Bible say anything anyone could possibly want it to say. They treated it just like a jigsaw puzzle (an analogy for Te use) with each individual "verse" as a piece, yet if you just take things in context and look for underlying frameworks and principles, then things begin to make more coherent sense.
And then growing up in an STJ environment, it was easy to learn and apply the argument skills. And then consider that Te is the "oppositional/backup" for Ti, Ne also seems to "project" it outward, it will be easy for the NTP to use Te. As I say, if you take ideas and theories apart, you have to put them back together again.

well, at least in terms of Te expression.
(The two ENTx types use different functions.)
That's how you can tease out the difference.
An ENTJ is Te + Ni + Se + Fi
An ENTP is Ne + Ti + Fe + Si.
An ENTP with Te forced on them could look like:
Te + Ti + Fe + Si
or
Te + Ne + Fe + Si
or some other weird combination.
But I think "Te" forced on someone usually squelches out the fuzzier/softer functions first. Eric B seems to suggest this as well -- that the Ne gets supplanted or channels Te outwards, rather than existing as itself per se.

Thinking is generally condsidered "objective", based on logic and facts, while Feeling is considered subjective "values".
"extraverted attitudes" (outside use) is also considered "objective", while introverted attitudes are considered subjective, because they are taking place within the person. (For perception, the attitude is the "source" it is taken from, and for judgment, it is the "realm" it is used in).
Sensing (concrete perception) is also considered more "objective", while iNtuiting (abstract) is considered subjective, because it involves the person drawing from patterns and stuff.
I then came up with an idea of shorthanding the processes with "o" for "objective" and "u" for "subjective".
Se objective data from objective source O/O
Si objective data from subjective source O/U
Ne subjective data from objective source U/O
Ni subjective data from subjective source U/U
Te objective judgment in objective realm o/o
Ti objective judgment in subjective realm o/u
Fe subjective judgment in objective realm u/o
Fi subjective judgment in subjective realm u/u

But why would an INTP use much Te in writing? One has all the time in the world to respond, and in general, writing leaves tons of space for expression of introverted functions.
You could argue using several principles and frameworks, without ever fully mentioning all of them.
If you feel so drawn to using Te in your writing, maybe you are a different type.
In general, I must admit I'm very dissapionted by how people are falling for BW's nonsense. I read MP's two long posts, they provided an EXCELLENT explaination, and one that looked a lot more like Ti than anything BW has ever written. In fact, MP may be one of the few "INTP"s who actually is an INTP.

No, honestly, if you were brought up in a hostile environment, it filters into your writing. Were you brought up in a religious environment like I mentioned earlier? This was my experience directly: I felt like I had to "prove" my faith and would try to Te everything, get stuck in apologetic cycles, and generally feel shitty after awhile because it just was far too much detail and focus on external argument.
And this was in my WRITING.
It really gets in there and screws you up.
(Can you imagine trying to force Ti concepts through Te writing? You have to be extremely detailed... but you still have that 'web / big picture" thing going. So there's no end to the detail you need... and realistically there is also no way to translate a mental model into 2d Te-style linear terms, although you try and try, so you always feel inadequate and like you're failing.
True Te people don't care about a consistent big picture as much. They're more fine with choppy, little bullet-point proofs that only settle their particular point and then are just assumed to cover everything somehow. not as much need for nuance.)
The writing I was not ashamed or conflicted over was far more Ti and/or Ni in nature.
In general, I must admit I'm very dissapionted by how people are falling for BW's nonsense. I read MP's two long posts, they provided an EXCELLENT explaination, and one that looked a lot more like Ti than anything BW has ever written.

I guess that's your opinion.
I've known BW for two years, and in a few other contexts and situations, so it doesn't appear to be nonsense to me. But you are entitled to your opinion.
And I see the point being made by those discussing Magic's type. (Personally, I don't know him well enough to involve myself, but I see why they are saying what they are.)

That's one reason he's not INTJ.
He doesn't have one.
And if he did, it would be screwing with his Ti pretty badly.
Ti needs a frame of reference to work within.
Ni inherently believes that frames of reference are arbitrary.
Thus, in a nutshell, Ni resorts to Ti's arguments with a, "Well, YOU say" response.
Ni "trumps" Ti in the functional equivalent of "rock, scissors, paper."
BW has total faith in his conceptual reasoning process and expresses none of the doubt that Ni usually cultivates.

Right! If he had both, it would either make him an NFJ or an STP, and in both of them one either has a lot of Ti and not much Ni, or a lot of Ni, and not much Ti.
For some reason, I don't think he's an STP or an NFJ, and if Ni was on top of Ti in his case, I have a feeling his writing would make much less sense than it does.

His style isn't like many of the other INTP's on this board (Haight, Jennifer, Xander..) but he is still an INTP- his long philosophical posts show strong Ti..
A Ti is intolerant of stupidity and he thinks y'all are stupid for not understanding his posts..at least he perceives it as a lack of understanding. I don't think that's the case for those who have been arguing with him.. but I think that's what he's thinking.

It's only impossible in the archetype roles, but not in the strengths. Ideally, you would think the strengths would fall into the familiar order of Myers-Briggs, but the Cognitive Processes test suggests they can be in any different order. However, the archetypal roles will still be the same, and that's what those "places" (dom, aux, ter, etc) really are. Te will still be "oppositional" (5th place, and very "shadowy, associated with stress and requiring a lot of energy to use). Ne will still be "supporting" though there may be other functions apparently getting ahead of it in strength.
I'm wondering why again, people are saying BW lacks Ne. Someone may have mentioned it before, but I forgot.

I've made my case. I'm entirely confident that I'm not an INFP, even if I'm not an INTP(hence the INXP consideration).
I'm tired of this whole "don't feel bad about being an F" thing. It's like mistaking a straight-man for being gay, and then telling him not to worry about it. No, there's nothing wrong with being gay, but it's pretty annoying to have everyone think you're gay when you are not.
Putting my case so far aside, I'd point out that no MBTI test has ever made me an F. I've taken plenty, many several times, and I've never been an F.
I've also done a great deal of reading on type descriptions. I've taken many different samples of that, and I've never found the INFP description more identifiable than the INTP one.
Aside from BlueWing's first ramble, and a few, small jabs from Nocapszy, no one else here has provided any comment other than me "seeming like an F" whatever that means. Again, I think it comes around to an emphasis on superficial, irrelevant qualities. Nor have you responded to my case.
And, more than me even being incorrectly perceived as an F, I'm taking objection to the idea that BlueWing has put together a great piece of work. It's just really long, not even as well presented as I would have made it, and mostly relies on completely misusing my words.

I've made my case. I'm entirely confident that I'm not an INFP, even if I'm not an INTP(hence the INXP consideration).
I'm tired of this whole "don't feel bad about being an F" thing. It's like mistaking a straight-man for being gay, and then telling him not to worry about it. No, there's nothing wrong with being gay, but it's pretty annoying to have everyone think you're gay when you are not.
Putting my case so far aside, I'd point out that no MBTI test has ever made me an F. I've taken plenty, many several times, and I've never been an F.
I've also done a great deal of reading on type descriptions. I've taken many different samples of that, and I've never found the INFP description more identifiable than the INTP one.
Aside from BlueWing's first ramble, and a few, small jabs from Nocapszy, no one else here has provided any comment other than me "seeming like an F" whatever that means. Again, I think it comes around to an emphasis on superficial, irrelevant qualities. Nor have you responded to my case.
And, more than me even being incorrectly perceived as an F, I'm taking objection to the idea that BlueWing has put together a great piece of work. He has. You disagree because you don't like the outcome. You're attached to being a T.
It's just really long, Because it's rigorous... yours was long... not even as well presented as I would have made it, and mostly relies on completely misusing my words.He doesn't misuse your words at all...
Did you really even read his damn post? If you did, I'm guessing you were too aggravated or upset to pay enough attention to what he said.
For the record, I never said I think you're INFP. I think you're INFJ.
Lots of INFJs confuse themselves for INTPs. Ask SH.

You need to honestly check yourself.
You have explicitly taken numerous pot-shots at me in the past week.
This is true. I tried to be factual and honest in my last comment, not insulting, but it was criticism..
He has. You disagree because you don't like the outcome. You're attached to being a T.
I'm convinced that I'm a T. I don't like it because I think what he's saying is bullshit. A lot of you seem to forget that I was the first person on this forum to make topic questioning my type. I've already offered the possibility that I'm an F. This is not a hard concept for me to handle, it was that I've simply concluded it to be wrong after thinking about it for a good long while.
Because it's rigorous... yours was long... He doesn't misuse your words at all...
It was JUST long. As in, the length is one of the only things it can say for itself, and that doesn't amount to much.
Did you really even read his damn post? If you did, I'm guessing you were too aggravated or upset to pay enough attention to what he said.
Pointless rhetorical question, maybe just for annoying me or amusing yourself.

And I still disagree. I'm sure lots of INFJs do confuse themslevs for INTPs. I've seen all kinds of mix ups. It doesn't make me one.
EDIT: and he definitely did misuse my words. I've already well explained that. He made a case of "true" vs "right" where it didn't mean anything, and obviously didn't know what I meant by an intimate instinct, and so on.

Now this is an informal fallacy. You have just made it impossible for me to be right in your world of reasoning. If I ever disagree about being a Feeler, you can just say it's my silly Feelings getting in the way. It's inescapable! I will always be invalidated, because of something you claim about me, which I can't deny because you'll use that claim to invalidate me.
This is basically the No True Scotsman fallacy, which you might have heard mentioned around here lately. It's because both you and BlueWing seem to love it.
Edit: There might actually be some well-poisoning going on here, too. It's a common one-two punch.
No, it wasn't a rhetorical question. Skimming.... technically counts, but it doesn't really mean anything in the long run. Either you didn't read it, or you read it and colored it with an F lens.
No, I did more than skim it. Again, you pose the only alternative is that I'm not understanding because I must be an F. The same fallacy as before.

Well, here's what's interesting.
You and I have disagreed in several threads on several different topics recently, yet it has been *you* not I, who has taken to personally criticizing me, i.e. engaging in/committing an ad hominum abusive, rather than critiquing a perceived faulty point of view.
To be honest, both T's and F's do this, but I have been personally attacked mostly by INFJs (namely Kiddo and Peguy), and a few INTPs.
When engaging in any form of heated discussion or debate with you, I can't help but notice your positions to be firmly grounded in/on your feelings.
And by "feelings", I mean that you seem to be incredibly defensive and take neutral or relatively benign opinions/statements, personally.

First, let me summarize why I'm actually defending MP this time: Nothing I've read so far is remotely good evidence of MP being an "F".
What just kills me (at a thinking level, actually) is that suspicion was first raised about MP's type by bluewing, an obvious Te-prefferer. And now people have forgotten about questioning BW's obvious typing, and gone on to bother MP. And you know what kills me even more? MP's posts have a ton of Ti in them! And yet he's the one being questioned instead of BW.
And by the way, Kiddo is very obviously NOT an INFJ. He has one of the most obvious Fi-prefference of anyone on this forum--- a definate __FP type.

I think this is selective observation.
When comparing this to my life experience, I can't help but laugh in a "amazing how people give me no way out" sort of way. Again, I know that I can't prove this to you, but in personal life I've been subjected to criticism for being insensitive and detached, excessively analyitical and pedantic, and not being aggressive enough. So, facing this current subject here, is extraordinary.
Now I've already said many times, all over this forum, that I'm emotional here, than in normal life. Because, 1: there's safety in anonymity and distance, which allows me to let my guard down and experiment. 2: this forum is dedicated to a subject on which I feel that I'm in my element, and that I am dedicated to. I have found that Ts and Fs, Ps and Js alike, have a tendency to get pretty fierce when dealing with arguments over subjects that are important to them.
That being said, while admitting to being more emotional, I don't think I've been nearly as aggressive or presumptios as you say. Maybe I just coincidentally happened to do more of that lately, but I think I've been my normal, passive, open-ended self for most of my time on this forum.
Also, as another little note, CC, it seems like you tend to mistake my hypothetical propositions for things I actually believe, which might cause confusion. I have tendency to play devil's advocate for the sake of argument. Maybe you didn't realize that.

based on my observations of others, thinking and feeling are not always obvious. considering our society, i would expect a "thinker" to recognize the advantages Fe has to offer, and, as nocap points out, feelers may be emotionally inclined to appear more logical for whatever reason.
it's in the source for decision-making, not appearances. thinking tends to refer to calculation of objective data, feeling... personal experience, instinct, who knows what else. that is the question to ask when determining whether a person is one or the other.
personally, i keep my logic to myself in day to day life. that's logical, after all. ;) <only weak, overly emotionally-expressive people use these, right?

Extraversion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion) is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self. Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious.
I realize the irony in dissecting your nature via an online forum - especially when coincided with my previous post.

They say that with age comes development of inferior functions. ;)
Just an aside, but I would never take test results (online tests, most exspecially) as evidence of anything. I've scored all over the place on all kinds of tests. Unless it's an actual-factual MBTI sorter that you paid green money for, which I would consider to be marginally more accurate. And then only marginally. "Accurate" is just not a modifier I would attach to anything regarding measurement of MBTI.

I don't buy this post-count argument, as one could (and will) argue that a person is in their element at the forum of their choosing, and is thus more inclined to participate in social exchanges with greater activity than in most other situations.

Thank you. :) But you're right about the online forum part, as is Dana:
I don't buy this post-count argument, as one could (and will) argue that a person is in their element at the forum of their choosing, and is thus more inclined to participate in social exchanges with greater activity than in most other situations.
I think that's right on, and if I am understanding anything about these cognitive process dealies that you folks like to throw around, then everything I do has to sort of pass the "Fi Test" before the "Se" kicks in. Once it does, it's hard core. But not until. If the "Se" was truly dominant, I would likely not be sitting here typing on an internet forum, I would likely be in jail or at my night job, trying to earn enough to pay for the child support of all the drug-addicted kids I'd fathered with different women. :D
Of course, I'm probably way off, and someone will be along shortly to tell me that I don't understand that function stuff, and it doesn't work that way. ;)

Well, like this thread plainly displays, the determinants for type selection are often as varied as the individual.
Indeed. At least I peresonally have been writing things down in text files to help me work-out the criteria of type as I understand. I think most people have something for less consistent, or even defined in the first place.
(As a funny aside, I just thought about how doing so would probably be considered Ti. But I don't use that! No!)
And Captain Chick, indeed, you must remember that someone can definitely use Fi to support something you totally disagree with. There's a similar occurence in the Enneagram. You know Ones are staunch about their beliefs, and usually frames things in some kind of ethic/honor system, right? Well, that may be true, but two different Ones can have dramatically opposed systems of belief. So they will both staunchly beat each other up over it.

Apparently it's not that obvious.
I think there is some confusion here over what Fi can look like online in a series of posts, versus Ni+Fe. Also, I have no idea how strong Kiddo's Fi is; he wouldn't have to be INFP to have a developed Fi along with Ni+Fe.
I remember him saying on another forum that he didn't understand why he got so angry. Inside he would not feel like he needed to say anything, it was sort of formless... but then someone would do something and he'd feel compelled to argue.
I can't say that's Fi. It also sounds possibly Fe -- internally he's stable, externally if someone "breaks the rules," he goes ballistic even when he doesn't want to.
In any case, it's interesting to consider... but I would not say that makes him an "obvious Fi."
Very true. I think Jennifer has more posts than probably anyone....
That must be because I'm a closet ESFP. ;) Yeah. Uh huh.
There's a lot more involved in post count than extroversion. Posting things online is not nearly the same as real life engagement -- it's this weird blend of "interaction" that is still detached from real engagement. And my posts aren't necessarily based on wanting to interact with others but could be just my own mind searching for ideas to analyze and spit out answers on (Ti) or ping around and play with (Ne) or compare to other ways of seeing (Ni) or determine the value of (F) based on consequences, or.... I mean, really, an online forum is a like a candy store for an introvert, who deals not with the "real object" but is always more interested in the subjective impression inside their own mind CREATED by the object.
So quantity of engagement with the internalized IMPRESSION of the object is NOT the same as extroversion. Probably something for all of us to keep in mind.

You sometimes get that feeling too that there is an idea that is so clear and inherently factual ? Like MBTI i.e. you get so obsessed about and you dig soo deeply into it that you are about to forget where you started from ? That you have made the idea's own weird entanglements to a new point to start with about life. And furthermore you start to become the idea, with your own set of rules what makes you inconfusable different from anyone else, cause your starting points have started to overtake your own process of digging. That's the point when it needs someone to step up and take the lead, to start a World War !
I've moved some posts over to a new thread (http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/fluff-zone/7107-s-mystery-moved-what-s-my-type.html). Very mysterious. Almost spooky.

Because other people go all over the place on certain functions, it makes me all the more confident that I'm T that my T has never changed.
What it confirms is that you highly value T traits (also confirmed by your strong reaction to your type being questioned) and, as such, answer that way on online tests. It doesn't necessarily confirm that you are T.
Having said that, my general policy is to say something once and after that only reiterate it if asked, and to try and trust people's self-perceptions if they seem convicted of them. :)
(I do want to underscore that F doesn't at all mean "emotional dummy with retarded logic skills," or I wouldn't call myself one. So I don't want you to take my questioning of your type as a pointed finger in any way.)

As nocaps says, people do think things of themselves that are not true.
However, the recourse is not a lot better: People also think things about OTHERS that are not true as well.
As far as a 70% statistic, well, numbers are useless without qualification of what they are specifically referring to and knowledge of how the number was generated.

Actually, I never mentioned it, but I think that the whole "Fe-Ni looks like Fi" argument is bogus and was developed as a false explaination of the fact that most of the "INFJ"s on this forum are NFPs.
What I remember about Kiddo's posts is when he tried to pull his whole "homophobes are Fi's" thing. By the way Kiddo (if you're reading this), I didn't like the crazy lady in that youtube either, but that doesn't make it a shadow reaction. It just makes her a crazy bitch. (duh!) Then he mentioned how he thought it was so bizarre that they seemed to think he was miserable, and I though "aha! opposing personality Fe". What else... his response to my "obesity myth" thread was totally Fi. No true Ni type has "wisdom at the cost of sanity" as thier signature, not even Nietche(if he were alive) (in other words, it's a fairly obvious sign of an extraverted perception preference).
And I would love to discuss this further (including with Kiddo). I am %100 percent sure he prefers Fi, and I think he's an I_FP.
And your "Fe" example could easily be inferior Te in that context. And I think it is.

If someone believes they're Intuitive (by definition, erroneous or correct), why would they be offended to hear from their friends that they think they're a Senser? I've seen precious few Sensers who've been upset by an implication of Intuition.

The forum culture here generally values the abstract over of the concrete (most likely due to the subject matter), and I can imagine that such a preference is rarely found the majority of wherever most of us find ourselves in our daily lives, so this place serves as a sort of safe-haven, and in order to protect this ideal atmosphere, sensors are out-grouped, if only implicitly.

Excellent explanation, Dana. That's pretty much what I'd thought too. Like the incorrect emphasis on N being "better" precludes Ss from joining in on forum life without having to take a defensive position. You're out of the clubhouse, so to speak. In waking life, Ss have domination, so it must go to type for Ns to congress in their own world where Ns are dominant.
The psychology of it is certainly interesting.

If someone believes they're Intuitive (by definition, erroneous or correct), why would they be offended to hear from their friends that they think they're a Senser? I've seen precious few Sensers who've been upset by an implication of Intuition.
Why are Intuitives/Pseudo-Intuitives so touchy about that?
I think part of it is because they may have been berated as children for N traits and they tried to change but were not able to and so to suddenly be accused of not being N creates a feeling of "well then were the hell would I fit in?"

Actually, I never mentioned it, but I think that the whole "Fe-Ni looks like Fi" argument is bogus and was developed as a false explaination of the fact that most of the "INFJ"s on this forum are NFPs.
All right. That's your thesis.
Let's see how you supported it.
What I remember about Kiddo's posts is when he tried to pull his whole "homophobes are Fi's" thing. By the way Kiddo (if you're reading this), I didn't like the crazy lady in that youtube either, but that doesn't make it a shadow reaction. It just makes her a crazy bitch. (duh!)
Assertion.
Then he mentioned how he thought it was so bizarre that they seemed to think he was miserable, and I though "aha! opposing personality Fe".
Assertion.
What else... his response to my "obesity myth" thread was totally Fi. No true Ni type has "wisdom at the cost of sanity" as thier signature, not even Nietche(if he were alive) (in other words, it's a fairly obvious sign of an extraverted perception preference).
"Arguing from specific to general" fallacy.
(How is a tagline representative of someone's true personality? It's not. It's a very very small and somewhat insignificant piece of data that has no direct bearing on type.)
And I would love to discuss this further (including with Kiddo). I am %100 percent sure he prefers Fi, and I think he's an I_FP.
Assertion.
And your "Fe" example could easily be inferior Te in that context. And I think it is.
Assertion.
...Come on, Gabe.
This is all assertion -- where's the support statements?
i.e., where's the beef?
(and I wonder why type I could claim you are, for making a case styled like this.)
Again, again, AGAIN!!!

I didn't drop "P" from my type. I'm using "?"'s new type coding.
Huh, I mean, if the whole community were to switch to his (better) coding that would be one thing, as it is, people will keep misreading the codes for the irrational types and just think they're unsure about the last letter. Oh well.
Go ahead, question my type, I am very interested in hearing about it :yes: (but you do know what I think of that "directive" "informative" bussiness)

I had forgotten about that system for the moment, and didn't realize anyone had actually begun using it.
It just seems that Te is being used as some sort of pejorative that people's writings are being accused of almost critically, while Ti is this elusive function that everyone aspires to, but no one measures up to in the critics' minds. I wonder why that is.

I also think Jack is ENTP, but my reasoning would include mention of functions, something he doesn't believe in.
I must have made a mistake by practicing what I preach--That we need not follow any "rules of our type!"
Though I believe the concept of the functions is flawed, if you want to define my brain, you could say I do have a very capable extraverted intuition, but what about introverted thinking? I would say it's more potent still (and I don't believe I've ever tested as having higher Ne than Ti, and the only other type I've tested as is INFP--once, on a bad test), but the operation of the introverted function is not as obvious to others. I say only what I choose to; you can't read my mind.
As I age, I become more capable at acting how I see fit: a way I see as proper for the situation. If I'm at a bar, for example, I'm not going to impress anyone by verbalizing my intellectual contemplations, so I put on a "sensing" cover. On the net, where you don't exist unless you are engaging, I put on an "extrovert" cover.

Despite the temptation being to say "sure thing, fight! the more he says the more he incrimminates himself!", I just wub him too much to fight with my recently adopted honorary brother pal buddy type thing. And besides, mom will only take our toys away. :cry:
Since when did *you* ever care about social conventions, eh???? :tongue10:
Oh, alright - FINE! I thought I could enjoy a good, manly fist fight. Ferk.

He's just buying time now with some classic Ne redirection, so his Ti can catch up and think of a plan. A better one that is, than starting to ignore me only after I pointed out it'd be the best strategy to disprove his extraversion :evil:

Someone on here recently guessed INTJ or ENTJ for me.
I think you're a healthy ENFJ.
Sometimes I think Hmm is an xNFP.
Wow, the SJs got a promotion to N! :cheers: It certainly took long enough. :dry:

I value every perspective.
I test ideas off everything.
I am hardly ever representing myself.
Its cool, I'm not offended I have just questioned a lot what this forum assumes an ENTP does?
Incidentally I think being EXTP would offically make me ruler of the world!!!!

off topic I know, but I can't resist saying that this put me in mind of the times I've born witness to a bunch of D&D geeks arguing over what colours certain types of mythical creature are. MYTHICAL creatures. Arguing over details about them. Like they were real. For real. :rofl1:
