I'd have to say casual, followed far away by elitist, then craftsmen. But overall, I don't hang around in large groups so it is very hard to say. (Generally I find myself socially only in one on one situations if at all, or among a very small group of friends.)

My guess:

Casual = FP
Roughneck = FJ
Elites = TJ
Craftsmen = TP

This is socionics quadras, so I'd have to say elitists, even though the way the groups are named will surely cause a bias in the selection.

:doh:

You weren't supposed to TELL them, FDG!

Great, now everyone will know where they came from.

I somehow knew that if someone blurted out my secret, it would be you.

Experiment failed. :(

HUH :huh: I object.:azdaja: I can't identify with roughneck in my personal interactions. I love one on one sharing, caring and casual relaxation. BTW I replied to your post on another thread.. :blush:

Oh I wanted to ask you are you the one that posted roughneck, hairy walking around campsites type of thing?? LOL

I'm surprised that your choices almost mirrored mine. :shock:

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.

What I mean is that I don't like being associated with a group. It doesn't mean that I can't like people within said group, but it pisses me off when people falsely attribute polarizing traits to me just because I'm in said group. Therefore, I purposely avoid identifying with a group because I know it will get me somewhere bad.

I think your experiment is still going on because I have no idea what the fuck Socionics quadra are anyway.

Identifying myself and others with groups has definitely gotten me into trouble, causing me to reject or accept too many people at once without clear reasons. If I didn't have to do it because of how my mind works, I probably wouldn't.

You're probably right, most will vote before seeing that anyway, and some may not even care enough to look it up.

Ah, but your problems come from association. I never see myself as a part of a group and yet it's others who group me anyway, causing the problem.

Sometimes we find it easier to generalize about people and accept, reject, and react to those generalizations rather than focus very much on each individual person. It's actually rather efficient, and takes a lot less attention and time. The problem is that it's arbitrary, unfair and often throws the baby out with the bath water.

Craftman - Elitist
Casual
Roughtneck

Having said that... I did sort of identify with the Roughtneck's desire for group atmosphere, but the casual definition of atmosphere also covers it. Engage in small group discussions but overall an introvert within the group. Depending on the number of people at hand, it'll switch between talking about serious stuff to just enjoying the mood. Overall maximum group sizes are around 6-8 people. Group activities have to be focused around some form of activity or the idea of being together, otherwise it'll break apart into the smaller ones which is similar to the idea of the craftman. Don't identify with the desire for decentralization so much.

You pretty much made roughtnecks to be the jocks of highschool, but maybe that wasn't intentional. >_>'

Edit: Oh... socionics. Goes to show that I don't remember much about the system. But hey it's nice to have an extract about each one. I still haven't figured which one I am within that system.
