@reckful is ISTJ

It's crossed my mind.

[Lark]

I think I may be mistyped.

I think I may be mistyped.

Why do you think that?

Why do you think that?

The MBTI and Enneagram result, I was thinking the socionics would allow me to triangulate but the quiz keeps crashing.

@reckful is ISTJ

Would be interested to know what makes you think that. He seems N to me to be honest.

1. @reckful gathers lots of exact evidence for posts, which yes INTJs can do, but you know ISTJs love the details more than INTJs. INTJs need to have a good reason to include specifics, and a forum is often not a strong enough reason.

2. He once said that dealing with aesthetics was an N thing, but it's actually an S thing. I think he may be into aesthetics, so he shoved it in the N framework so it somehow fit to avoid cognitive dissonance.

3.He doesn't seem abstract enough

4.He doesn't seem like others Ns on this site such as starry and coriolis

5.He doesn't vibe as an N

It sounds like somebody could benefit from reading this post.

Interesting, that was not particularly apparent from the single interaction I had with him, so I'll have to investigate it further.

Aesthetics as in what exactly? My parents are Art Historians and both are N types, I don't think that excludes someone from being an N type (or an S type for that matter). IMO

3.He doesn't seem abstract enough

In the interaction I had with him he was talking about dichotomy vs functions and it was almost entirely theoretical. It may not be his norm. What is abstract enough though?

4.He doesn't seem like others Ns on this site such as starry and coriolis

Well not all Ns are alike and especially on the internet, not everyone who thinks they are one is. But lets assume for a second that everyone who claims to be and intuitive on here is, in what way isn't he like them that makes you think he is not an N?

5.He doesn't vibe as an N

I don't really know what this means but I assume its more of a sum of the parts thing, in my interaction with him I'd say it was the opposite, but again maybe it was not the norm.

Not trying to start an argument, and you don't have to elaborate if you don't want to, I'm not convinced yet but I will do some research and maybe what you said will become more clear.

I disagree. I don't think mbti statistics are accurate, and neither are tests. MBTI is about mindsets, not about cognitive machine.

Are you worried about people thinking you aren't as smart, imaginative if you were ISTJ? Are you worried about typing as ISTJ because people will think you are a mindless sheep? Don't worry. You can type as you truly are. Don't pay any mind to people who criticize you.

Well there are different methods to type people. We may just use different ones.

That post gave me an aneurysm. The N bias is too real. You are part of the problem.
