[MENTION=21976]Hyoid[/MENTION], if you wouldn't mind, I'd wonder if you could select two choices from the two questions below, as part of a little typing method I have thought of, which is based off of the perspective of Beebe's archetypes of the anima/animus and the trickster (and their Socionics counterparts, the Suggestive function and Vulnerable function). If none of the following apply, let me know, as these are only 4 of the 8.
What are you most suggestible to? Which of these seem to influence you the most and even attract you?
Are you easily swayed by promises of power, immediate material gain and abundance of resources, or the determination/vindication of another person's argument or cause, as well as trust in straightforwardness and candidness?
Are you easily swayed by the emotional atmosphere put out by others, appeals to social ethics, or physical/vocalized expressions of emotions toward you?
Are you easily swayed by the logical purity of an argument, the mental frameworks and theoretical models presented to you (which are seen as mostly veritable) which have been built by others, or detailed analyses of topics provided by others?
Are you easily swayed by the presence of empirical evidence, knowledge indicative of society (common knowledge), the believed efficiency of systems, logical order and organization, or any argument/claim/evidence made/provided from any source (regardless of credibility, which isn't typically looked at)?
Which of these creates feelings of suspicion and often make you want to turn a blind eye towards?
Displays of power and vindication, promises of power and immediate rewards, straightforwardness or candidness of any kind. It just seems too straightforward and in your face to be taken at face value. (Nothing is as straightforward as it seems)
The perceivable emotional atmosphere, emotions that are being expressed towards you physically and openly(they might be a facade, for instance), any kind of argument derived from social constructs or the general ethics of society, others emotionally supporting (empathizing/sympathizing/relating) what you might value or what they think you value.
Theoretical systems and frameworks that do not possess an actual, realistic manifestation, a lack of trust in most theories as they are seen as too idealistic, models might be seen as over-complicated since they seem to be unable to be related to physical reality (think String Theory, all mathematics, virtually no empirical evidence), detailed analyses made by others.
Empirical evidence put in front of you, common knowledge indicative of society, evidence or arguments provided by sources ("Don't always trust what you read" adequately describes this) of any degree of credibility (be it farmer Joe or Dr. Joseph), the logical organization and management of resources.
