What type do you really think that you are?
^INTP 5w6>9w8>?w? Sp/So
5w6 INTP.

Elfboy was reffering to me in the is the member above you accurately typed thread and Speed Gavroche was talking about my type in a 5w6 vs 5w4 ISTP/INTP thread about me and, in all honesty, I think they could be right.

After all, Elf and Speed are the renowned typing experts of the forum, so trust their judgment I will.

I don't think that the categories, the system, and the functions are well-defined. Off the top of my head -- there's not even agreement on whether we use all eight cognitive functions; how much in lock-step order the shadow functions play out; the accuracy of Berens' Interaction Styles; and so on.

All models are wrong, but some are useful. I'm not so concerned about the details as long as there is consensus around the general thrust of the categories (i.e., functions, types), which makes practical application possible.

We don't understand typology well--or, at least, we have vastly different understandings of typology. If had a common understanding, we wouldn't still be theorizing about the system to the degree that we do.

Again, you seem to be confusing typology and psychology. What we don't understand is human behavior, not the models we've constructed to decipher it, or they'd be useless models. I'm not arguing that any existing typological system perfectly captures all the nuances of human behavior, but they can offer some meaningful insights. Regardless of the doubts you've presented here, you clearly subscribe to what I've just said on some level or you wouldn't be on a site like this.

I can't find in this exchange where anyone has actually said that this is a put-down. Can you point that one out to me?

You said that my comments in my initial post regarding my interactions with mistyped Ts contradicted what I said later about it being unfortunate that type coveting is a thing on this site. I wasn't sure how else to take your comment except to assume you figured I was making some sort of negative judgement regarding Feelers ability to logical or objective.

Elf thought I was ENTP. :shrug:
FWIW, the Ne is fairly strong in you.

No confusion. I'm flat-out stating that we don't understand the models that have been constructed to decipher human behavior, at least to the degree that we seek to apply them. And also that we don't understand human behavior.

Why I'm on a site like this is immaterial.

So it's less "insistence" and more "sort of, kind of implied, maybe."

For the record, (a) my point was that the judgments were incorrect and exaggerated; not that they were negative; and (b) my point also wasn't directed at you per se--because we've clearly got an impasse there--but as part of this overarching, ongoing discussion.


And you are obviously too rational to be a Feeler, and too energetic in your posting style to be an introvert. So, ENTJ.

You just had to go and get your little barbs in, didn't you :mad:

That's what Te does, isn't it!? It just doesn't give a fuck, does it? :nono:

Well, let me tell you something. I'm going to get you back--in spades. You're not even going to see the social manipulation coming. You're going to wonder why everyone's turned against you, started e-talking about you behind your back all of a sudden. You Thinkers are so oblivious to that social game--it's like you have some sort of neural chip missing--so, guess what? It's going to be easy.

I'm sick of all of this hardassed, overly-critical, Thinking bullshit. It has to end right here and right now.

That's what you get for hurting my feelings. Don't fuck with me.

Pfft, facts don't matter! Be whatever you want to be! You would make a bad ass ExxP type breaking the mold of definitions so hard they would be powder before your glory.

But what if I AM ESFP or ENTP? It could be true if I've been in a perpetual shadow!!:happy2:

You very well could be! You know what would solve this? Just research a type, any type, and claim it as your own for no other reason than you can.

Go out and conquer, my dear, go out and CONQUER.

P.s. You will need jellybeans and spray paint.

I have a leather jacket and a motorcycle. Come around 9 or 10? I shall help thee. I'm ENTJ so I can shoot fireballs out of my eyes and may prove useful.

haha!!! I already HAVE a leather jacket (you know, ESFP's and ENTP's always do). So I'm one step ahead of you!! But your fireballs will indeed prove useful.

Since you just performed a biting parody of how Fi dom/aux tend to see Fe, you obviously must be one of them (the Fi users that is). I say ISFP. Case closed.

Did you install a passive aggressive widget to the site without announcing it? Because I fail to see how this is a productive contribution towards creating peace throughout the galaxy.
