What group do you identify with?

[entropie]

I'm surprised that your choices mirrored mine.

I'd agree that I'm not particuarly cliquish on purpose, though I admit to being clique-avoidant when it comes to Roughnecks. I end up keeping myself away from a lot of enjoyable and interesting people/activities, because I'm so ridiculously terrified of running into that particular clique and its values (due to bad experiences with them). The rest of them I can usually deal with or relate to on some level. I don't know why, exactly.

Because you like pragmatism

 

[Cady]

Elitist.

I spent way too much time trying to be more casual-esque in high school. It wasn't worth it.
By the way, you might get more accurate results if some of the categories weren't named with such determinately negative stereotypes.

I know it's a quote from somewhere else, but you could just name them group 1/2/3/4 and voilà, much improved.
Unless the names of the group are some secret part of the experiment I don't know about yet.

Just a thought.

I thought I gave them all sufficiently negative names?

But yea, now that I look at them they're all pretty negative.

Redneck to me just sounds pretty lowbrow.

 

[wolfy]

What's negative about craftsman? The name and the description both sound perfect.

 

[Frank]

A combination of all four with the heaviest leanings towards elitist and roughneck

 

[Frank]

Well, because you give off this "strong, self-confident" vibe I'd tend to associate with that group of people. Yes, I can understand wanting more substantial conversation after a certain point.

Anyway... my theory is that the majority of the forum population consists of Casuals (with Craftsmen as a close second), if anyone is curious.

I'm curious. What is the reasoning behind this theory?

 

[The Outsider]

Casual.

Roughneck, not Redneck. Redneck is pretty offensive. A roughneck is just a rowdy person.

Well, Craftsman could be viewed negatively by some snobbish people... but there are more that would value it. Darn. I guess that reveals that I had the hardest time saying anything negative about that group.

All labels tend to unearth some sort of bias, both positive and negative, based of personal observation or life experience.

If MBTI typecasting took into account your like or dislike of the label associated with your group I think results would be less accurate. For example, ENTP's are often called "the inventor" which to me invokes the image of an old man hunched over a machine trying to get it to work. I don't like building physical things, and it's just a preset bias that the first impression I get when I think about inventor's is one of a builder.

Life experience... well thats a long way

I do? Huh... I guess that's right. They're unfocused and silly, and place unfair expectations on people. They seem to have the worst combination of traits.

 

[Cady]

Hehe, my bad. I scanned over the titles to start and for some reason saw "Redneck". Roughneck is much more in line with the negative level of the other titles

 

[entropie]

I do? Huh... I guess that's right.

You cant ask "I do?" and then admit to what I stated in one sentence. Things like that let you appear really stupid.

Stop being mean, ESTJ.

I have to go to bed now, unfortunately. If you like to discuss your not awesomness further and why I think so @Aethian feel free to please never PM me

Still waiting for the answer to my question Athenian.

 

[Athenian200]

The reasoning? Well, if I told you that, it would ruin the experiment.

I'll give you a hint, though. It's got to do with the atmosphere of the message board in general, combined with the types of the majority of members.

I knew there was a super secret reason.

So you ask us if we are curious and then tell us you can't further explain. Pretty mean for an nf.
