Very cool work with the table. The next step is writing biographies for each one and then titling them![]()
The Madvillain [Ti Si Fe]: Often fitting into the role of Mad Scientist, or Mad Doctor. The Madvillain often scores extremely high in rationality and introverted thinking. Combining Ne and Ti to create a wacky, almost comical, personality type. The Madvillain loves to play with people, often views the world as a little game or experiment, and is probably the bluntest of the Snowflakes. However, this does not make him the most honest. The Madvillain will always do what benefits him the most. He doesn’t take sides and will often not believe in Good & Evil instead replacing it with what is interesting and what is boring. [Correlation: Chaotic Neutral]
The Madvillain Quote: “There is no right and wrong. There’s only fun and boring.†~ The Plague (Hackers, 1995) [Or: “I was born with a heart two sizes to small†~ House MD]
The Trickster [Ti Fe Si]: The Trickster is often shown as the dominate type of ENTP. This type makes of the most of what ENTPs are and is most often seen in articles relating to ENTPs. The Trickster is the equivalent of the Coyote Spirit. It loves playing with people, more so than the madvillain, often its pranks are riskful for itself, and the person being pranked. The Trickster is not all bad though. With Fe as a a secondary it can connect with its victims and know when it has went too far. One of the most famous tricksters is Wile E Coyote (Road Runner). The Trickster views the world as a stage, and loves the spotlight. [Correlation: Chaotic ——-]
The Trickster Quote: “Right, too complicated. But what if I built a Burmese tiger trap?†~ Wile E Coyote
The Doctor [Fe Ti Si]: The Doctor is definitely the nicest of all the ENTPs. Think of them as Lucifer before he got kicked out of heaven. They are just the right combination of real Gentlemen, New World Explorer, and Party Animal. They often love meeting new people. Their Ti rivals their Fe. This allowing them to connect with people in a much deeper manner. They’ll bite their tongues if they feel something they’ll say will hurt someone else. They are pretty much the exact opposite of The Madvillain. The Doctor has a view of the world that is more idealistic than The Trickster. It believes it was put here to help people with its cunning brilliance. It wants to learn & often engages its friends in group decisions on topics they’d normally not talk about. [Correlation: Chaotic Good]
The Doctor Quote: “They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine.†~ Doctor Who (10th Doctor)
The Professor [Fe Si Ti]: Oh, have you ever had an ENTP Teacher? Somehow they managed to be more Social with your feelings, Traditional with their rules, and Innovative with their logic? Yep, that would be The Professor. A Ne dominate with strong Fe and Si. The Professor is a teacher who will seat you by names and then call you to the front of the class to preform a play with him (or her). They’re outside of the box traditionalists. Extremely creative social gentlemen. The Professor is all about teaching, because like The Doctor, it only wants to help. [Correlation: Neutral Good]
The Professor Quote: “So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I’m doing that, then I snap out of it.†~ Gene Wilder
The Hero [Si Fe Ti]: Every type has a Good and a Bad; perceived by the public’s eye; The Madvillain was already shown as “The Bad Guy†so its only right that “The Hero†be the stereotypical good guy. The Hero somehow manages to combine an extreme background in Traditions with the sporadic craziness. This type can often be confused for ESTJ due to its strong need to correct people who it thinks is in “The Wrongâ€. It’s the ENTP that would create a safe way for little old ladies to walk across the street. The can’t restrain themselves when it comes to something they feel is wrong. [Correlation: Lawful Good]
The Hero Quote: “He called me irrepressible. This is a man who is truly irrepressible†~ Q (Star Trek)
The True Neutral [Si Ti Fe]: Almost robotic in terms, not much is known about this type for two reasons: A) They don’t appear to have any personal opinions or feelings; B) This is the rarest of all ENTPs. The True Neutral is the guy you turn to when you want the truth and nothing but the truth. Strong in Traditions but has a weak morality. It can easily get the job done on pretty much any Job. The True Neutral can easily be confused for an INTJ. [Correlation: True Neutral]
The True Neutral Quote: †‘You’re out of my mind’ That’s between me and my mind. Let’s start with these rooms.†~ Jubal Early (Firefly)
Article by William C. [Liam Wulf]
Well, for example, an ENTP is just as much defined by having inferior Si as by having dominant Ne.....
Why? While i agree that Ne necessarily means Si (i see them as two sides of the same coin) i don't quite see why the location of one can be used to determine the location of the other. or in broader terms:
this pattern:
EP: Pe>Ji>Je>Pi
IP: Ji>Pe>Pi>Je
EJ: Je>Pi>Pe>Ji
IJ: Pi>Je>Ji>Pe
what is the cause of this?
on what basis do we assume it?
If we're going to jumble them all up, I like think of myself as more Ti>Fe>Ni>Se, really.
[MENTION=15291]Mane[/MENTION], I'm curious as to why you grouped me with the INFJs.
Well....... it's basically for one to rise at the top it has to always push the other one down. (Going along with the first example) Intuition and sensation are opposites, one dismissing the actuality of things for what they could be, and one dismissing the potential of things for what they actually are. Both of these things are going on for everyone, but when you're talking of an Ne dom, you're taking about someone who most habitually is dismissing the actuality for the potential, and for this to habituate, the reverse of that must be repressed. Thinking and feeling don't have to be repressed because they are working on an entirely different dynamic of their own. Se has to be rejected entirely because as another extraverted perceiving function for it to be present it would have to take the place of Ne entirely..... but then Si isn't quite that threatening so it's kind of kept on the border of accepted and rejected, of conscious and unconscious.
This is the state of the inferior. Ne decides to keep it around but treats it like a toddler, sits the kid in the backseat, plays a movie, but still there's the occasional poke on the shoulder, trying to climb into the front seat, having to stop to eat or to go potty or find a teddy bear...... Anyway an Ne dom can't just let Si in the front seat because Ne will want to turn left and Si will want to turn right and they'll both grab the wheel and end up either going nowhere or swerving off the road. (Again, the T and F functions can sit in the passenger seat because they have no rejection of the driver's ways) The only way for them to function together is to keep them in different rows and for Ne to be able to go its own way as dominant but still listen to the little Si in the backseat and keeps its complaints in mind and in check.
Because i've noted your use of Ti and Ni, which means you'd have to be an NFJ/STP, and my impression of you, though perhaps somewhat shallow in the amount of interaction i had to go by, is that you are very much a Judger... though like i said, most of the above "non MBTI-kosher" typing's are half-witted shots in the dark when i was looking for examples. i've had no problem editing a few people's location within it based on the feedback.
You are mixing up only loosely related theories.on what basis does the MBTI assume they can't exist?
Yes. This is embedded in the notion of dichotomies. If you remove dichotomies, type becomes meaningless.The prevalence of a particular way of perceiving and judging, necessarily pushes the "opposite" ways of perceiving and judging into subordinate roles.
This was meant satirically. It adds nothing and subtracts a good deal of clarity. It's helpful to recognise that strength of preference is non-trivial, but to convert that understanding into sub-types is just a joke (or at least, should be).INTPCentral did it (kind of)

you know, these unbolded folks right here:
Who killed them? Or rather, on what basis does the MBTI assume they can't exist?
You are mixing up only loosely related theories.
Function order is mostly meaningless and unproven. It doesn't produce type. Type only tells us about Dom/aux (and inf by implication).
All that can be meaningfully said about functions within MBTI can be expressed thus:
Ptypes
[Ne / Se ] + [ Ti / Fi ]
Jtypes
[Ni / Si ] + [ Te / Fe ]
Everything else follows from these principles (and if it does not, it's invalid or at best, speculative).
Less is more.
Yes. This is embedded in the notion of dichotomies. If you remove dichotomies, type becomes meaningless.
Your scheme disregards the dichotomous nature of type. Which is fine to do, but you are left with continuums rather than discrete types of endless variety. (Essentially, your logic is kinda fucked. )

Edit. To visualise the logic of MBTI, I find it helpful to consider it represented in 3-dimensional space as a cube (or a nested cube, to include E/I dimension). Then the operations that are 'permissible' / meaningful become immediately apparent.
The midpoint on any axis = X, other combinations do not resolve to a "type", they float somewhere in the void.
To answer that you have to unsertand the way the functions relate to each other. To do that you need an accurate understanding of what the functions are. I'll use Pe and Pi to explain.
Pe is an explorative urge, a desire to experience things and act spontaneously. Se explore based on what is there, Ne is more motivated by what things represent. Pi is the urge to plan ahead, review what is known and consider implications.
Now, the more time you spend sitting on your ass thinking about what you intend to do, the less time you spend actually doing it. Extensive preplanning precludes spontinatity. The more time you spend considering if something should be done or not, the less likely you are to do something off the cuff, just to see how it turns out.
Pe and Pi preclude each other, which rules out many of the combinations you've listed. Ji and Je follow a similar pattern. Ji is to do with assessment of value based in ideas of worth, where as Je is assessment based in ideas of utility.

see but we do know that Ji and Je, as well as Pi and Pe, can follow each other, that is ingrained in the current system as the auxilary and tertiery functions, so the assumption is, as Morto said, that the dominant function innately pushes it's corresponding "sister function" to the inferior.
to apply it to your theory, we do know that people with (EJs and IPs) can have a "more balanced" level of planning (Pi) and doing (Pe) to the point of having those sit side by side each other as the auxiliary and tertiary functions. so why is it possible for them, but impossible if Pi/Pe doms?
Because a balance is different to lots of both. You can have 90% Pi and 10% Pe, or 60% Pe and 40% Pi, but you can't have 90% Pe and 60% Pi, because that gives you 150% of your mental efforts and time devoted to the Pe/Pi combination. Don't try that because it makes your brains explode, which is messy.
The primary function has to rule, followed by the others in layers. Why? So you can make decision and prioritise. That's what the functions are about - what you want. If they are all present at too similar levels then you have trouble telling what you want, or even what you don't want because everything has equal priority.
The other thing you need to understand is the balance between action and contemplation. To be a functional human being, you need a bit of both. Too much of either makes you ineffectual, either because you do nothing, or because you do the wrong thing and never learn from it.
Once the primary is known, the auxilary has to take the opposite action/contemplation stance to create the balance.
