Lie about my type? Why not. (whatever's coming out celebration)

[The Ü™]

Based on our conversations, yes, I'd stick with the ESxP reading.

ENTPs are completely different animals.

... not that it matters. I still like having you around, Whatever.

Hey, if she scored ENTP on tests ever since high school, then it's entirely likely that she's an ENTP.

Which brings me to this: Can you fake a personality?

I just don't think so..

I don't think so either. I think people can pretend to be some other personality or otherwise they have some real mental issues. MBTI types are desinged to describe healthy personalities (so I have read).

I tend not to believe there is a such thing as a healthy or unhealthy personality. That's more of a socially created perspective. Certain types are considered more unhealthy in society at large than others -- mainly N types -- even though, universally, that is untrue. And let's not forget that on the Internet, it is much easier for a person to pretend to be someone they're not.

Whatever, don't listen to anyone here. If you confirm you're an ENTP, then you're an ENTP. There's a difference between a person's observable behavior and what goes on in their inner psyche. You're an ENTP on the inside, and the inside is what's you.

I wasn't suggesting Whatever couldn't be ENTJ.

You can try lying to yourself about your type

Ns don't fit in at all where I'm from... I'm nothing if not adaptable- funny how some people picked up on it and others didn't... I almost convinced myself

and Introversion and Extroversion- that was genuine- I explained that around here somewhere after starting a thread asking a question

please realize- nothing I did was out of malice

Well, she likes to be evil!

I think I agree with Mom here. The MBTI describes an adolescent version of that type, fairly undeveloped. As soon as development comes into play it gets quite murky.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

You did a good impression of S in my eyes, by keeping the trail of thoughts more linear and less branching - you avoided to connect to all relevant issues in all situations. I don't consider myself fooled of your personality with that, I was evaluating persona in any case

^^^ EP. Can't see the lamp-post bearing down on their noggin cause the floor has interesting bits stuck on it and the clouds are pretty etc etc.

I agree with that.

:steam: I don't want to be described as Mom.
I'm not your mom anyway.

 

[Carebear]

I should be surprised. I'm not.

Since I've met you I've been thinking: "Hm... seems ESTPs can really seem a helluva lot like ENTPs online. Impossible to tell some of them apart." This makes more sense.

They do anyway. The ENTP and the ESFP I know sound similar it's just one is working on pattern and the other on instances. It makes for great arguments.

 

[wildcat]

You are a naughty ENTP!
I believed in you!


I still like SP's.
I do like ENTP's too even if some of them are wicked.

How many else here isn't what they say they are?
Probably quite many.
I'm sad now.

She did not give you a choice, did she?
A double bind.

Of course you knew.

 

[miss fortune]

wildcat!

I've been rather amazed at what influence a person's type underneath thier avatar has... I've been amazed that people frequently overlook posts with double meanings...

 

[nightning]

*mouse is now sad that she has to look at another ESTP for behavioral modelling*

Kidding! Very ENTP of you to run experiments on us without informed consent! I do admit there's a lot of sensor bias around. Or rather just plain type bias. I know that I respond differently to people based on my perception on how the person will react. And those labels... type, gender, avatars mess with my mind.

Question would be how might you go about changing such?

Can't change the way authoritariann types think... they'll always need a yardstick of some sort. If not that, it will be something else. Someone even said they see post-count as a status thing. I'm here to learn and need those types there... and, thus far, place no value judgement on them.

Edit.. I'm actually workingit out between this and the other thread.. doubt I ever will place a value... not on type... but individuals for sure.

Can you explain this a bit?

 

[Jae Rae]

I'm not friends with any ESTPs in real life, but I have a good friend who's ESFP and I love her. Her lively, fun, spontaneous, always running late personality reminds me of Whatever's on this forum. I also get along with a number of ENTPs, so the fact that I clicked with Whatever isn't surprising to me.

In any case, I have to say it was a pretty good masquerade, although that quote about how people weren't picking up her double meanings should have tipped us off.

I have never seen it in a profile.

They're not gonna put that in their profile!
