Asmongold

[Oaky]

I think asmongold aka zackrawrr is an INTP. Someone else countered me saying he’s an INTJ. I can see INTj in socionics but I’m blind to INTJ in MBTI.

Anyone have thoughts?

Could give a good idea of the way he is.

Disclaimer: I don't play very many video games, although I do enjoy them. I am very ignorant of the internet culture centered around gaming as a consequence of this.

I had to watch this video twice to understand what is going on. It looks like this video is meant to be some kind of hit piece on asmongold. I don't know why someone would want to come after him, but it seems as though people are trying to portray him as something he's not. When they show the clips of him reading both quotes, it never comes off as him sincerely believing in him. The visuals and audio are not right. The comments suggested that he's reading something someone else said, which seems probable.

Which comes down to the way he handles the response he's getting; I think he shows more Fe, if I may say so. For, an INTJ with Fi, they would be more focused on staying true to themselves and their sense of authenticity. That's awesome, and extremely important, but I don't think for INTJs it's as adept at dealing with these kinds of attacks as an INTP would be. The way he pivots in this video shows more flexibility than we might see in the Fi of an INTJ. In this video, even though I think it is meant to be a hit piece, he come off as nonchalantly brushing off the attacks by calmly exposing them as bullshit. Simply put, the claims against him seem to be baseless bullshit that people nevertheless seem to believe, yet he seems to be able to figure out how to come up a response with regards to what would "play best" in the situation that seems to defuse them (and just because something "plays best" doesn't make it a lie). He figures out a good way to show people what is actually going on. Fe can help with that.

I really like INTJs so I hope this doesn't come off as an insult; it's just an observation.

I would say he's a healthy, well-developed INTP; healthier than me, I would say.

1.5 minutes of Asmongold isn't really gonna tell you much about him, especially when he's just laughing at a hit comment someone put out about him.

I never really thought of him as an INTx at all, he seems to really enjoy having an audience and pumping out a ton of content. He definitely doesn't care what people think about him, he's willing to say anything outright and has often made big splashes in the gaming community (at least WoW but whatever else he does too, I imagine) with just throwing his thought out there. I tend to lean towards him being more extraverted and more feeling (he's done a lot of things just based around his own values, including even talking to Ted Cruz about outlawing loot boxes from games, and a lot of his comments seem driven by how strongly he feels about something), but that's about all I can say. He's really comfortable being in Twitch world and having a large audience.

Would you say ENFJ? I noticed Fe there and just focused on the available options. I must admit, it is hard to imagine either an INTP or an INTJ being a superstar YouTube personality.

Yes, I agree. He's satirical. The video is him responding to what other people say about him and clips of what he says. I'll respond to Totenkindly regarding the Thinking/Feeling part but I definitely see more Fe than Fi in him.

I've watched him for a while. I have to say I must highly disagree on both the Extravert and Feeling part. He enjoys his community but that's no different to an introvert enjoying the community of typologycentral and it becoming his social outlet. It's a 'community cave' of his own making where he makes the rules. He does not reach out further than this. Secondly he has no emotional connection to his audience. He certainly enjoys the ego boost of the agreements his audience gives him but he has never shown himself to be capable of making a connection to them and brushes off anyone he finds a nuisance. With regards to doing a lot of things based on values, he also does a lot of things based on practicality/efficiency or what he likes to call 'min/maxing', at the cost of both emotions and sensing.

He is definitely a Fe inferior, and he ignores Se (his house is disgusting). I would peg him as an INTP. A LOT of serious gamers are INTP.

 

[Maou]

Lol, you must not watch a lot of gaming youtubers. Many of them are also redditors and or use 4chan. Many of them are INTP or mistyped as INTJ. They do not get popular for their charisma, but for their gaming narration and how to play the game. Inferior Fe everywhere.

 

[Totenkindly]

Why are you asking us, then, if you have such a strong perception of the guy?

I don't feel much kinship to him when he speaks, honestly. Nothing like the INTP-click before I even knew what MBTI was, when I would run into other people I would realize a long time later were also INTPs. He seems to have a strong sense of his own values. Just because he holds people at a distance or brushes them off doesn't mean he's a T. I wonder what his earlier life experiences were like that might have contributed to his persona now.

He does sound like an introvert in that video, before he even describes himself as such.

As for T or F, I do, or don't do, a lot of things based on laziness. I'm not sure if that's F or T. Am I not doing something because it's more rational for me to not do something, or am I not doing something because I just don't feel like it?

 

[Maou]

You guys might find this video interesting to try and type him, because this one is dedicated to talking about his life and how he became what he is today.

 

[mgbradsh]

ENTP. I've never seen a type that likes getting people riled up for sport like ENTPs.

The guy is raising a stink now for saying Gaza is a terrible people and inferior to western culture in every way. He seems to really get off on trolling the crowds. Not really concerned about nuance in his presentation.

He's got this overt troll thing down pat, he sounds totally sure of himself making emphatic comments easily with conviction, while maybe next week he'll change what he says with as much conviction.

I was just coming in here to say - isn't this the twat that supports the Palestinians being genocided? But I'm sure someone in this thread will say *I'm* the one misunderstanding him. Don't care what this cunts' type is or why he can't clean his room.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Hey, I never even heard of him before this thread. This thread was more about my feeling nostalgic for the old days of this, forum really.

That's why I put in a disclaimer about gamer culture, just in case something like this surfaced.

 

[Totenkindly]

I just know him because I've been playing WoW for years. It's kind of hard to not know who he is, even if he isn't involved in WoW now seemingly.

But..but..he went on Reddit and posted a half-hearted apology where supposedly because some people called him out and took a shot at his fragile ego and threatened some of his corporate sponsorships, he suddenly gained empathy for people of Gaza and we should all move on from it now because he said he's sorry now!

Well, don't forget, he also seemed to be a miserable SOB who could have moonlighted on Hoarders and was now in the process of "cleaning up his life" and maybe his shit attitude will improve after taking out the trash lololol
