Uhh...I like people who agree with me. All the time. Unquestioningly.

Oh, and call me "Great Leader".

(And chocolate.)

So if any of you are running for some kind of MBTIc office, you know where to find me.

Err, hello great chocolate leader!!

(did I follow the instructions properly?)

I think it's more like:

"Oh CzeCze, Great Leader (and chocolate) could you please make me popular?"

I think on this forum each participating member has a following of some sort. The extroverted people tend to stand out more because they are usually just as expressive online as they are irl therefore charming the pants off us online as well. ;) A particular pink omnivorous freshwater fish immediately springs to my mind as being quite popular round these parts, not to mention asstastic! :alttongue:

You've gotta admit, the 'net has it all. Found a website titled "How to Become Popular if You Are Weird and a Girl," which advises:
  • Be confident
  • Be nice
  • Practice good hygiene
  • Look cute
  • Learn to be a little normal sometimes
  • Have fun

It also offers the following tips:
  • Know how to handle gossip
  • Wash hair with lotion sometimes to keep it extra soft
  • Join a club, but not one of the creepy messed up ones that the popular girls wouldn't want to associate with
  • Don't pick on people
  • Never change your personality...Just cut down the 'weirdness'

There it is, folks. No need for further discussion. I'm off to vaseline my hair and shred my Dungeons & Dragons Lifetime Member card.

omg. How do you people just accept the system so readily? It baffles me that one would do nothing to fix it. A system that forces conformity, when nonconformity can be a GOOD thing, is an inefficient system.

What system? And what do you suggest as a substitute for it?

Setting an example. I am trying to be the change I want to see in the world. Are you?

I posted earlier, the fastest way to fame is by imitating me. CAUTION: this is also the fastest way to being ignored by some.

Whatever!!! I cannot believe you're posting on a "popularity" thread!

And what makes a popular poster?

...

And do RL popular people tend to be popular online, too?

Fe: Knowing what your audience wants, and delivering just enough to keep them wanting more.

Fi: Holding fast to yourself, come hell or high water, and attracting an admiring crowd. Or maybe, a popcorn-chewing crowd seeking to live vicariously through you.

Comes down to understanding. Others. And yourself.

... all F-skills. INTP's are doomed. Is that why we claim not to care? We do care, but always get disappointed and thus become cynical? Hm, that sounds so pathetic...:ohmy:
