You're right, I don't understand nonsense.



Just because you see a contradiction, doesn't mean it exists.
#1 is true.
#2 is true.

Pop Quiz: How can a homosexual man prefer a heterosexual woman but still be homosexual?
I assure you, there is no contradiction there either.

What one prefers, is not necessarily who they ARE.
Preferences can easily be taught, if not downright pounded into people's head.

An intuitive can choose S as their preference.
A sensor can choose N as their preference.

They can "prefer" whatever they damn well please.
But it doesn't mean it's who they are.

This is why putting so much effort into typing other people is absurd.
I agree with Katsuni 100%.
Only the person can type themselves.

What a person is becomes how they behave. Behavior is a product of type and preference. Behavior can be observed.

One may argue that type itself is BS.........but if one accepts the validity of type, one accepts that it's result can be observed.

MBTI is based on what you prefer though isn't it? I think the distinction, is that you may prefer sensing at one point, but you only prefer it because of peer pressure... so really, you don't exactly prefer sensing, you've always naturally prefered intuition.

Like anything else, some outlying data point doesn't refute general behavior. If a person acts one way only in a specific situation, but acts an entirely different way 99.9999% of the time, one can conclude that person generally has a preference for a certain behavior.

What a donk play. You've just pointed out that type is not determined by preference, which falls exactly in line with my point that "type is determined by preference" and "we can prefer a process not associated with our type" cannot simultaneously be true. :doh:

Listen n00b, this is an obvious definitional problem. If you're going to define type as whatever the person's true ability is, you can't then turn around and also say that type is determined by preference. Duh.

If you don't agree with the idea that type = preference, then fine, but surely even you don't have such tunnel vision that you can't see the obvious conflict here.

You've insisted repeatedly that "TYPE IS A QUESTION OF PREFERENCE NOT ABILITY!!!" in any number of threads, and now here you are directly contradicting that.

I happen to agree that type is more dependent upon your strongest natural abilities than upon which abilities you prefer to use, but the quoted post obviously contradicted itself by simultaneously claiming that:

1) Type is determined by preference, and
2) One can prefer an off-type function.

Only one of these can be true--evidently you've chosen #2 (which I agree with), but you've also missed the point, which is simply that both cannot simultaneously be true.

I think they have this class called "Critical Thinking" for this kind of shit, buddy.


Just tell him he's a unique and special snowflake, existing beyond type, and avoid the argument. ;)

didnt ben franklin write a whole essay about how not to waste time and how to make every minute of your day count? and he went to bed early?? Hmmmm.....

Amazon.com: Doing Nothing: A History of Loafers, Loungers, Slackers, and Bums in America (9780865477377): Tom Lutz: Books

This book (which I highly highly recommend) describes Franklin as a secret slacker... although he said, "Early to bed, early to rise," he didn't actually practice it himself. He even wrote that it's more important to appear busy than to be busy

In a slightly related subject, I'm reading Oppenheimer's biography right now. There is no way, in this or any parallel universe, that this man is an E

Tycho Brahe :laugh:


Tycho was said to own one percent of the entire wealth of Denmark at one point in the 1580s and he often held large social gatherings in his castle. He kept a dwarf named Jepp (whom Tycho believed to be clairvoyant) as a court jester who sat under the table during dinner. Pierre Gassendi wrote that Tycho also had a tame elk (or moose) and that his mentor, Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel, asked whether there was an animal faster than a deer. Tycho replied, writing that there was none, but he could send his tame elk. When Wilhelm replied he would accept one in exchange for a horse, Tycho replied with the sad news that the elk had just died on a visit to entertain a nobleman at Landskrona. Apparently during dinner the elk had drunk a lot of beer, fallen down the stairs, and died.

I'd describe Henry VIII as more of a sensor personally, having read about his hobbies and motivations- that man knew how to LIVE! :D

he showed a lot more Se than Ne, to me anyways :)

I watched a show about historical Henry the 8th and seems to me he was quite an intellectual, I mean he wrote a book repudiating Martin Luther.
Was eager to debate theology, spoke several languages. He got bored fast but kep variety of hobbies, seemed to be quite loyal friend for the most part of his life. He does no strike me as a big S guy.
Maybe more like Captain Kirk with a looser moral compass.

I think I'd lean to ENTP on Henry the 8th. But maybe somebody who knows his history better can have a deciding voice:)
