Ivy/Mac/Edahn/Geoff: Which madmin's harder to type?

[digesthisickness]

you're definitely enigmatic, ivy. there's no question about that.

you'd be winning this even if the others were more mysterious competitors.

Yeah, I didn't really think that was the part in question.

Geoff comes off to me as one of the more T-based INTPs, actually.

Martoon is one who seems more Ne in approach, where the Ne is allowed to bounce free without really being reined in ahead of time by Ti. (some people would say, "wait, isn't that ENTP?" but I'd say, no, that's just general theory... in reality, Martoon's still obviously an introvert, but life sometimes leads some of us to develop operating styles that focus on less on the primary as per textbook.) Geoff seems to use Ne only really in service of Ti.

Yeah, I would agree with that.

Or to put it more simply :

"Geoff's less crazy"

Edit : serious answer. Yes, Ne is used by me in service of Ti in a distance operation like the internet. In person, I'm all over the place waving my arms and trying to draw pretty pictures on flipcharts in a creative madness.

Agreed. Sometimes Edahn really is surprisingly sensitive and compassionate and seems to strongly sympathize with other people, which can in a somewhat significant way belie his T-ness. Overall, though, I think he leans more T than F; he just has an endearing vulnerability and a strong desire to help people.

Ivy really is the unclassifiable madmin. I really don't know what comes after Introversion with her. Inxx... Thinking about it seriously and trying to recall any evidence one way or another, I have a hard time. Sometimes she strikes me as more T, other times more F. Whether she's an F or a T, a P or a J, I really just don't know.

She used to test ISFJ. What makes you go for intuition? (just asking, not saying you are wrong...)

[Mempy]

I didn't think about the N that hard, but now I am. You know, now that you mention it.... I don't see very much evidence that she is an N. It's hard to examine for me whether her past behavior (i.e., "the evidence") is more S or N. Maybe I'll mull over it. I can see ISFJ; she really is practical, to-the-point, and straightforward (edit: and doesn't coddle people), which all give her the impression of being an STJ, but she seems to strongly empathize with people, suggesting some F. So ISFJ isn't a stretch. Edit: In fact, it might be her SJness that kind of looks on the surface like Thinking, which would explain why the F wasn't obvious to me. But in light of the ISFJ typing, it all makes sense now.

[booyalab]

Edahn.

Ivy seems obviously ISFJ to me.

Why isn't Night in the poll?
