Define Badass?
Noun: A tough, aggressive, or uncooperative person
Example: Hemoroid the Great was a badass king.
Define Badass?
Martin Luther King Jr. pictured above is not badass in the slightest.
I guess I just have a different definition of being a badass...
Define Badass?
An ass that is experiencing flatulence.
That my friend, is why you're probably an INFP.
- not caring what other people think is not selfish. it's called being secure and doing what you need to do no matter who is with you or against you
- getting things done does not have be at the expense of others, most of the time it is to their benefit. I don't mean this as a personal attack, but good luck attaining any form of success if you think this way. there is nothing noble nor heroic about poverty.
- rebellious = lack of self control and respect? you are aware that we would still be ruled by kings and treated like cattle by the ruling class if there weren't rebels. by this measure, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Joan of Arc, all of the founding fathers, and virtually every famous person in history had no self control or respect.
PS: please do not put words in my mouth. your interpretations of my post were both accusatory and baseless. accusatory is fine if you have evidence, baseless if fine if you're giving praise, but the 2 combined pose seriously communication problems
i think the deal with INTP badassery (or what seems like lack or it) is that well, we are calm, chill and if someone comes to our face, we remain calm and not lose our temper easily, but not run away and ready to attack in defense. at least personally if someone starts to fuck with me, ill just do it back(with triple the force) to them until they attack or flee(been in the situation few times with some drunktards and they always fled). im not a violent person, but if someone starts to fuck with me for no reason, hes a total asshole and i treat them like that(look down on them and laugh at their face on their attempts to act big), but because im not interested on getting sued by some asshole i want to make them attack me, so that i can "self defend" with bit too much force.
It could be selfish though, that's the point. It's not necessarily positive.
It very much opens the possibility of ignoring the needs & desires of others to do what you want, and that IS selfish.
If you don't care what people think, then you're not going to value their thoughts enough to even know what benefits them. A person who acts in the interests of others has to know their interests, and that means caring about what they think, feel & desire.
And yes, you did mean that as a personal slight, because for some unknown reason you took my last post personally when it had nothing to do with you.
You're twisting my words....there was not an equation sign. Those were all separate qualities that were used to show how your description is not necessarily of an admirable, noble person. Those traits can turn ugly fast.
I'm using rebellious here to mean someone who causes trouble for it's own sake; rebelling just to rebel, not in the interest of others, as we had already established that badasses don't care about what other's think & just do what they want. Rebelling for a cause that benefits others does NOT fall under that kind of rebellion, and it certainly doesn't make you a badass. It makes you, well, a "goodass".
I wasn't putting words in your mouth or accusing anyone of anything. Calm down....the winking face was there for a reason; this is a light-hearted thread. I was just showing that these supposedly positive qualities you listed may not be so positive. You can put whatever spin you want on these behaviors, which is why being a badass does not mean being a hero. It might mean that for some people at certain times, but in and of itself it is not necessarily a good thing.
That's why "the least badass type" has no reason for shame, and might even view it as a compliment.
Introverted + informative. INTP, INFP, ISFP, ISFJ. I agree that SP adds some badass-ness, as does T. So INFP and ISFJ are left. I voted for the latter because I think Fi is slightly more likely to be badass than Fe.
Someone actually voted ESTJ and ISTJ over all other types? Sure some of them can be a pain in the ass (like Mr. Sell, the 90 year-old ISTJ substitute teacher who ranted everyday about how kids these days have gone to the devil), but even he was more badass than any ISFJ or INFP I know.
INFP bad asses:
Joan of Arc
Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho)
Johnny Depp
Helena Bonhem Carter
Hellen Keller (you have to be pretty bad ass to make a name for yourself being blind and deaf)
Peter Jackson (he direct Lord of the Rings, that make him a bad ass in my book )
Neil Diamond
Spiderman
....and several video game characters I'm guessing you wouldn't know anything about
they're out there, just harder to spot if they're not famous
