There are two types of people in the world...

There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe

It's kind of sad the one crazy thing she does, people don't let it go.

 

[Kelly777]

Hhmmm...I don't fit either group. I think everyone should be able to get along and I'm always excited to meet a new person to discover. Invariably, they do or say something and I say to myself, "Oh, okay. You're one of those people." Then I'm off looking for someone else to discover. I'm a cat that thinks it's a dog.

 

[Kullervo]

I am a curious creature at heart and keen to meet new people, but I am under no illusions - there will always be someone who I just can't get along with.

 

[Forever]

I'm a catdog.

Everybody can always be in groups and mind their own business together.

We should be sectioned off into groups based on our similarities. It's exactly what I like about typology: the idea that we're in different groups, and that no group is better or worse than any other. Since we're not in groups in the real world, we're all expected to sort of act alike. There are desirable traits (friendly, responsible, confident, hardworking, etc) and undesirable traits (lazy, easily stressed, insecure, inconsiderate, cold, etc). What society fails to realize is that we all have strengths and weaknesses, and we can each contribute to society in our own way.

Cat + Dog = "Cog"

[Snickie]

Definitely not a dog person. That statement kind of disgusts me, actually. I want people to be able to get along, but I also know that in this world it's simply impossible.

We need groups to consolidate our beliefs. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that groups can get up to 150 people before differing ideologies invariably tear them apart (if they weren't torn apart sooner). I also remember finding that interesting due to the rise of megachurches, churches with regular weekly attendance in the thousands.

On the other hand though, personal experience and politics have shown that growing too attached to our groups can lead to stagnation because nobody can agree on anything.

Personally I don't feel like I explicitly "belong" in most of the groups with which I affiliate myself. All but one of my good friends are from different "groups," which here is very anti-cat.

So while I definitely lean closer to "cat" on the spectrum, I can't confidently assign that label to myself. Sorry guys.

By this measure I'd be dog, probably. I don't interpret that statement quite so literally as some people on here do, though--sure we can't get along with jihadists, but we should try to get along with Muslims, and certainly shouldn't throw their people under a bus because we're scared of what the worse parts could do to us (and that's not necessarily a pro-immigration stance, by the way).

Good is the benefit of all, not just us. And I'm not totally convinced that "Each man to his own business" really benefits all.

 

[Jeremy8419]

But.... ....I like cats

In Socionics, the two are consciously as the OP described; however, such is founded on the preconscious roots of the opposite lol.

By this interpretation, only "dog people" deserve life in the first place.

Nah, you can fail to support my agenda and still serve a decent purpose in it. And there are limitations on what I'd be willing to do to eliminate potential threats.

 

[Thalassa]

I'm a cat people.


I liked Alpine White as a 6th grader, but I want to be separated from Nestle people.

I also decided standing in line at the grocery store I want to be separated from meat people.

When I go camping I want to be separated from people who do stupid things like use flood lights and SUVs.

Could you also please separate me from people who learn better from theoretical scientific theory than The Vvitch, or Grimms fairytales?

The worst people don't know the difference between fact and political opinion. Can I have all Donald Trump voters, forcibly removed from me, and set in a pit, even while I enjoy Brenda K Starr hits from the 80s?

Because honey all people who like pop music or horror movies are not voting for Drumpf.

 

[Arctic Hysteria]

Then I guess I'm a dat or a cog person.
Because I think we should try to see the best in each other, but keep most people from most groups at distance.

 

[Jeremy8419]

Dog people should find better excuses for striking up conversations with strangers. Sometimes they even purposefully "accidentally" have their dog get right on you and annoy you just so they can apologize about their dog and then continue to try and talk to you.

 

[meowington]

I'm with the cat people. Thank god, or I'd had to change my nick to barkington

 

[Cold]

I'm a cat person then.

 

[IndigoViolet11]

Cat person wanna be and wanting to chase down those assholes first. Some just never wanted to get along with other types that tried hard to accept them.

 

[Galena]

I'm one inside of the other.

And I like cats and smaller dogs, but not larger dogs as much. Shallow but true.

 

[Cloudpatrol]

Tricky!
