Howtofascinate Archetypes

[figsfiggyfigs]

I mean, you guys do realize there are 49 types right? Not sixteen.

I think I'm the only one who got The Victor so far, so that totally makes me unique to the lot of you

YOU ARE THE WISE OWL. YOU CAN NAVIGATE THE MOST EFFECTIVE PATH TOWARD A GOAL WITHOUT GETTING RUFFLED OR DISTRACTED.
You remain controlled and focused—without drama or emotional fuss.
You guard the details of your thought process and goals so that you can ensure results.
Your quiet, unassuming style conveys a thoughtfulness that others sense immediately.
You build success gradually, but with the strongest foundation.

I also got this

I just don't think this is anything like MBTI. It's more like Enneagram. Like certain types might be more likely to be E4, but this doesn't mean all E4s are INFJ.

LIKEWISE, the closeness of Passion and Rebellion in Catalyst and Rock Star would not make them clearly ENFP and ESFP. If anything, it would blur lines on ExFP. I think Senza is on to something with Interaction styles.

There are some loose associations forming ... INTJ's getting "Secret Weapon", INFJ's "Subtle Touch", many FP's as "Rockstar", etc.

I am still curiously questioning what kind of system puts the following together as "Trendsetters":

Me
Johnny
Halla74
Greenfairy
Eilonwy

I'm trying to suss out some underlying thought process, feeling, nuance, characteristic we share that would thus connect us together. So far, am not feeling or seeing it.

Again, like many tests, the utility of it is only insofar as you can align with the result is delivers back to you. With 49 possible outcomes, I would expect it should fit better, be more customized, than a system with fewer "buckets".

eta: I do feel ok with "Rebellion" as the primary energy, but neither the "Trendsetter" nor "Rockstar" description captures things "right" for me ... maybe 50%? I have to twist myself to align with either. And I think too, I shy away from any system that uses a "TOTALLY ME" or "NOT ME" option ... that kind of absolute polarity makes me squeemy.

They need to have a 'Totally Me' or 'Not Me' answer for the question: "Do totally me or not me options to personality questions make you squeemy?"

Dammit why must we correlate everything with MBTI?!
Freaking MBTI websites I swear...we should be focusing on the real issue; figuring out how to stop global warming from melting all our faces off.

My dormant was Alarm.

So was mine. *high five*

give them to meeeeeeeeee

Pork bones. This made me think of pork bones.

Oh, really? FP were rockstars? I don't see the connection either. If I take a Halla and Johnny out it is easier. Maybe they weren't paying attention. lol

TOTALLY ME!

Seriously though, interesting to watch for patterns as peeps post. All other trendsetters, unite! Let's blaze the path forward together!

And what I would LOVE to see are the overall percentages for each of these archetypes! Anyone have a link? Or know?

I knew it!

I enjoy looking at the patterns too. There are a few general ones, like, 'Secret Weapon' is totally linked to INxx, seems to be most common on forum, 'Subtle Touch' seems to be INFx, and yeah, 'Rockstar' to FP; a few others.

Was it Marm who thought there might be more ties to enneagram? Think I prob agree with that, vs. mbti.

*nods* I think marm mentioned it, yes. Yet, using myself as example: e9 = Trendsetter? Maybe social dominance? And Halla is e7, Eilonwy identifes with e4 etc. Seems all over the map. Have to check our instincts and see. And watch some more ...

 

[Totenkindly]

Oh, I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but where do people get "49 types" from?

Yes, the chart shows a 7x7 grid with 49 boxes, but you can't really GET the same secondary and primary, based on how the test is scored. (So no "Alarm - Alarm" types, in terms of the test output.) The test only seems to generate 42 combinations.

Or did I miss something?

PS. I thought my Dormant Trigger was right on -- "Power" was mine, and the descriptions of someone with Power in that dormant position described me perfectly.

My result (Blue Chip*) almost seemed like an introverted result, even though it was accurate. Which I guess makes sense for an enneagram type (1) that is more prevalent among introverts than extroverts.

*Only one so far! Who's the special snowflake now?? Huh???

I think you can get two together "Power - Power" etc. No one here has yet though. keeps watching.

I liked my trigger too. There certainly was stuff in the report that hit the mark, but for me anyway, almost as much missed. But it certainly gave me some interesting stuff to ponder on!

I loved your result! For a change, what could loosely correlate with STJ results is dynamically well-written! And I enjoyed how my husband's was written up too. (My results seem very flakey in comparison!)

I thoroughly enjoyed this test, it provides in-depth explanations for each of the 49 different archetypes.

For the access code, put Book2014, and you can be like me and fill in the information boxes with random places/names.

My Results:

YOU ARE THE SECRET WEAPON. YOU SYSTEMATICALLY PRODUCE CLEVER SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS, BUT ARE SLOW TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

You prefer working independently.
You are innovative and solve problems unconventionally.
You remain calm in times of pressure, yet always pursue solutions.
You embrace new challenges that serve your goals.
You keep your emotions and feelings restrained but have a complex and rapid internal dialogue.

My dormant trigger was Passion.

Dude, this test is AWESOME! Thank you for this, I love it! It basically confirms what I've been thinking about the last few months. "What do I bring to others?"

I got "The Ringleader" which is power then passion and my worst trait is trust, lol. So I start things and am very colorful and can get everyone excited for a new endeavor, and then once its started I don't feel like following through anymore, lol.

My question is: other than being a broke as fuck entrepreneur, what good am I?

I think you can get two together "Power - Power" etc. No one here has yet though. keeps watching.

On what basis would you suggest that, PB?

Look at how it scores.
It ranks the seven categories.
Each category only appears once in the ranking.
The caregories do not compete against each other.
I'm curious as to how anyone could get a "power - power" combo, the way the scores are presented.

Also, a "power - power" combination (or anything doubled) would, based on the description, simply be a "power" description (or whatever). The secondary is meant to differentiate the primary. If the secondary and primary are the same, it would just be an undifferentiated Primary -- hence, read the primary description and there you go.

 

[Azure Flame]

I wonder if we are all the double of our primary trigger?
