Mistyped TypeCentral Members

[Elfboy]

This is my last post to you on this subject. But it occurs to me that maybe you need to actually read up on what you think you are an expert in:
Source: http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/TypeFour.asp

I'll draw a picture for you: Not all Fours act the same. (You can also substitute ones, twos, threes, fives, etc in for the word fours.) Not all Fours are unhealthy. (Once again you can substitute any other number for the word "fours.")

And, yes, you are being both pushy and ignorant in these matters. I fail to see how someone with whom I have had almost zero interactions with, is more qualified to tell me who I am. Especially taking into account the fact that you a: don't know who you are* and b: don't like women to begin with.

*Evidence is based on the 2 dozen "what type am I?" threads created by you and about you that are floating around on just this forum. I shudder to think what has been created on other boards.
TL;DR: You know nothing.

when did I claim I was an expert? far from it. apologies if I was a little pushy, but please don't put words in my mouth

I believe @Saturned's comment meant "end of discussion", good sir. Her post was not about the little details, like whether she claimed you were an expert or not. It was about general trends.

You just got Te/Si-bitchslapped and didn't even know it!

This is why I don't prefer these threads in general. It's kind of strange to me, people trying to type one another based on the teeny tiny bit of knowledge we get from people's posts here. Saturned has known Saturned for x amount of years. (I know her age but not sure if she wants it announced.) Elfboy doesn't know Saturned at all, they don't even get along in this setting.

This is one specific case, but it happens to everyone all over the board. I like typing people who ask for help because it's fun. Other than that, murky waters.

^ Great post. My feelings exactly.

So after giving some thought to my personal history, I would say that I fit the profile for INFJ slightly more than INTJ. But I think much of this depends on my mood.

WTH was Saturned bitching about anyway? She's typing everyone else left and right "with certain accuracy" while barely knowing some of them (like me), insisting that because someone's possible use of a function doesn't click with her use of it, the person doesn't have it. She's got a right to her opinion, but hey, it's fair game for people to dish it back to her in return. Big fucking deal.

EDIT: anyway, sounds like you're all laying this to rest, so w/e, it's not my concern hereafter.

An evil tongue could say, saturned could be due to that^ be an E.

I've a few typologycentral individuals in mind I believe may possibly be mistyped however it is also possible my perceptions may fall to inaccuracy at times.

The question that remains is: how can one at all type other people ? Given the mbti test is a test of preference that would mean if you would type someone else, you'ld dictate what that persons preferences are. But that can only be known by the person in question.

I'ld be careful with typing other people. The scientific rational background of such an action is more than questionable.

Indeed however there are times in which contradictory information is given. If a person were to type himself as an INTP and then tells you everything he does is based upon how he feels about it would that not be a contradiction? Do you believe his self-identification or his statement? Cognitive dissonance occurs due to inconsistent information about the individual and to remove that, one will self-choose which to believe about the other person based on one's own perceptive and judgement system.

No, you are of course right. I am concerned in such a situation (intp example) a bit more with the general picture. if a guy who is totally a feeler does present himself as an intp, I dont know if it helps him if you type him "right", cause it seems as if he would have other problems. In that moment you cant really tell what his true self is; according to his present actions he seems like a feeler, but it could very well be his situation ( problems in self-reflection ) that make him an unbalanced intp who acts out from his 4th function.

Imo the idealized nature of mbti is that everyone can type him-/ or herself in the end. And that nobody should force a type onto another, cause that is in direct violation with the intention of mbti ( a test of preference ). If you have an intp like you described him, of course you need to show him that his behaviour contradicts with his supposed personality type, but a person like that would have other deeper conflicts that need to be resolved. And just by posting in the mistyped thread: this and that person doesnt behave like its proposed in pattern A, I dont know if thats a real help or doesnt on the contrary make things worse.

I mean that just as a thought to keep in mind.
