[Other/Multiple Temperaments] Do you notice people's Myers-Briggs or their username first?

I do a scan to see what type of post it is. It might be too long and dense, so I'll skim it. It might have nothing but a gif. People who tend toward one style become "that wordy person" or "that irrelevant gif person" in my head.

The stuff I usually notice:
Language (tone, structure, etc. which is sometimes enough to know who's behind the post)
Avatar (this might come first, depending on the avatar)
Username (sometimes just the shape of their name)
Maybe signature

I double back at the end to see what the person's MBTI/enneagram if I don't already know it. Sometimes midpost I'll guess the user's type based on how they convey things, and then I'll check their listed type to see if I'm right.

Would you refer to the person as INTP Great_Bay or Great_Bay INTP.

For me, you'd be "short post guy."

Usually their avatar stands out to me first.

Cool avatar. Do you like emus?

Thank you. My parents made the content themselves.
They always seem like they know something I don't, but I like them.

Emus are the second largest bird in the world after the ostrich and they eat fruit, insects, and seeds.

The post, and I usually check out the rest if the post stands out to me, either by being really good or really bad. Then it's usually profile photo, username, then MBTI, Enneagram, join date, etc.

unless one had some visual/reading disorder, I'm not sure it'd be likely that one would notice the mbti type first considering its placement and size.

True, but there is the odd time when my eye has gone there only to find there is no MBTI listed. It appears my eye knows where to look for MBTI type only in someone's profile.

Avatar, post, username. Triangular view oriented clockwise 90 degrees. But eyes follow in a counterclockwise 360 degree view.

Username > avatar > post > MBTI/ennea type most of the time.

If I'm especially engrossed in a thread, it will be post > username> avatar > MBTI / ennea.

It just makes sense to me since it's more linear. I tend to notice username/avatar at about the same time since they're right next to each other.

I've lost notice of people's MBTI type generally, I usually notice their post, then avatar, then username, and if their post is peculiar, I'll look at their type.

I probably read the username before the MBTI, but I find the MBTI sticks in my head more, because it's interesting to think about. I'll probably find the more time I spend on here and get to know people better and better their names will stick slightly moreso, but the MBTI will never stop sticking in my head.

I suppose I look at all three, the avatar first, then the name, then the post. But in the end, I only notice what is notable.

Avatars come first for me, because it's the biggest and most noticeable thing (besides the post itself). IF the avatar doesn't give it away, I glance up at the username. Generally after that I look at the typings.

I first look at the avatar and then their typinging, then their username. I usually remember people by their avatar unless I see them a lot or they change avatars often.
