My answers to Limit's questionnaire

[Nicodemus]

I dunno - I can see the advantages and drawbacks of all of them...

If you fail to decide, ten innocent children will die. What now?

 

[mmhmm]

If you fail to decide, ten innocent children will die. What now?

can we spread them across 100 trashcans?

only if you're doing the cutting and the spreading.

Optimum Trashcans

1,000 trashcans?
10,000 trashcans?
100,000 trashcans?

No. They will all be nailed to a bonsai.

wtf, where are you going to get that a million bonsai plants from?

Okay, Nic, be honest: is that your way of saying I'm being an attention whore for making this thread so long? I'm earnestly asking.

It's a self typing system. Not a decide by 'communual ease' system Viridian... this isn't PerN where the lords and masters decide the types of the mere plebians.

I realize that, Jim... I just need a little help disambiguating things, that's all... As a non-American Generation Y child, I find that some things about most profiles don't quite click with me.

No, that is my (apparently ineffective) way of coercing you to make a decision.

Your bullying ways would have worked on me.

Viridian, you definitely strike me as enneagram 9w1 but as to MBTI, I really couldn't say.

Ah, well, it was worth a shot, bud.

Thanks for the input, senza! Why 9 over 6 or 5, though - that's the million dollar question!

 

[Nicodemus]

Ten children had to pay for it with their lives but, yes, I agree.

 

[Asterion]

The only other option from 9 is 6 imo. It is possible.

Is your perfectionist-ness like... no perfection, lack of care and effort followed by getting started sorting/organizing/making everything right and then just never stopping until it's perfect (potentially engulfing an entire day). Like, I will have my bookshelf in complete disarray and then suddenly out of the blue, I will start rearranging it, sorting the entire lot alphabetically, taking the whole bookcase apart and reassembling it where I want it to be, cleaning it from inside out. It's the opposite of type 3, who can get started but have trouble keeping it going, 9s hesitate to start projects, but when they do, they're all in.

That sounds a bit like me... I can get pretty engrossed when I'm interested in something. I also have some problems with high standards... For example: a few days ago, I passed my driver's test; most people would be happy - I was worried that I might have done a huge mistake the examiner overlooked and thus didn't really earn my license. Sometimes I feel like a little grey cloud... :/

lol

I wonder though whether 6s can be like this or not. If not, then the 9 is strong in this one.

 

[Nicodemus]

I am not satisfied with the current state of affairs. Can you give us at least one more letter?

Do I look like Vanna White or something?

Well, if you want to suggest some questions to help differentiate between the types/functions, I'm all for it.

 

[Nicodemus]

Well, then not.
