I'm an ESTJ. WATCH OUT.

Watching out, watching out!


Okay, if I had to guess the order of BlueWing's functions, they'd be Ti + Te + Si.

That's impossible according to Myers-Briggs. Or maybe Bluewing is just trying to extrovert Ti, and is coming up with limited success.

If BlueWing is an INTJ, where's Ni?

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.

If he had Ni, he wouldn't have much Ti.

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.

Which leads us back to Elfinchilde and Wildcat?

BlueWing is an INTP!!!!!!!
I think it's just that a whole lot of you don't want him to be one...
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.

I think BlueWing's and my own type are skewed because of whatever internal influence knowledge of typology has on us, hence the confusion.

in his vivid imagination that he's not showing us. He's all about playing the movies in his head, but the problem is that they're dumb 1950s movies. That's why what he pretends to describe about the real world sounds more like a scene from "The Honeymooners".

This is an interesting discussion on INTPs and anger. Could one of the madmins be so kind as to split the relevant posts off into another thread? If you don't, I'll be really, really pissed. :steam:
Fine!

Moved here, Dr. Banner.

What? :huh:

...and your evidence is, "all the stuff in his head that we can't see... but I know it's in there."
Interesting.

Maverick, since when are you an ENFJ? Can we paint each other's toenails?

Lovely :smile:

Since I finally realized that it didn't matter if I was "rational", I'm interested in people and relationships first and foremost! :yes:

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.

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.
