'Yep, Imperial Japan is one of the best examples of a culture with very prominent 1 traits, and it's also a good example of how a whole world of 1s would be a lot less peaceful and orderly than a lot...|||Hmmm, this is reasonably accurate for me, it seems. I have a low tolerance for people who I perceive as too-much of anything, which can range from too bubbly/enthusiastic, to too deliberately...|||I totally agree. Canada's been asking for it for 200 years. They'll never see it coming, either....|||Hmm. Well, societies are generally too large and complex to pin down to a single type, especially when factoring in pop culture, classical art and music, history, and so on. However, it seems like...|||Te-doms are generally very independent, and not the type to want constant feedback. That isn't how they operate. So if you wanted regular feedback, you would need to ask. You can't expect him to know...|||Yep. I see it.|||I remember back when the debate & current events forums had topics besides gender war bullshit. Those were good times.|||If you had to fight an Italian Renaissance painter (no weapons allowed), which one would you choose and why?|||When you wake up in the morning and you piss excellence.|||If there was a nuclear war, and this is who was left to repopulate the world... humanity would be fucked beyond belief. I can only assume an orgy would go about as well as post-apocalyptic survival.|||If you were forced to take part in a competition where the result of losing was your execution, which contest would you prefer:  1. Dance competition  2. Yodeling contest  3. Sumo wrestling...|||Okay, here are my best guesses for some GoT chars. I won't include all the major characters, only the ones I can make a reasonable guess on. I won't include my reasoning for my choices in this...|||I like this thread. One of the most interesting ideas I've seen here lately.  I'll tell you straight out which ones I'd go with. #1 (the community) as my first, #3 (the stockpile) as my second. A...|||ADHD/ADD are bullshit. It isn't a disorder, it's a different way of thinking.  That said, people who tend to think that way (me included) tend to have a 7 influence in there somewhere, either as...|||Good observation. The friend I'm thinking of is almost certainly 2w1, and *much* more of a type 1 stereotype than I am, weird as that sounds.|||This isn't as clear-cut as Type 1, at least speaking from personal experience. It might be that tritype plays a role in this, though. I'm likely 1w2-3w2-7w8, so I can give you my own perspective....|||Type: 1w2/7w8/3w2  I'm assuming when you're talking about fear that you mean an actual, serious problem. Generally, I stress myself out over bullshit. Whether or not I'm advancing quickly enough at...|||Sorry about the reply delay. Anyway, just read through your responses, and most of what you're saying makes me think 1w2 is your core. This section of your reply to me was important in particular: ...|||Yes, I'm quite aware that Ni and Ne aren't the same thing. However, that's not at all what I was talking about and it's completely irrelevant to the point I was trying to make, as well as the wider...|||Everyone is capable of taking a step back and trying to see if a single event fits into a wider pattern of things. It's just that this behavior is easiest for those with strong Ni, as they do it...|||Of course it's silly, which is exactly why I didn't say that only Ni uses context. Everyone with a brain does. It's just a matter of focus, and Ni instinctively thinks in terms of context, patterns,...|||It's less an issue of 'simple vs. complex' and more just the fact that Ni reflexively looks for context, patterns, and a wider frame to view something within.  As for closure, I don't think it's...|||From what I've seen of you on the debate and current events forums, I'd definitely say INFJ over INFP. I hate the whole thing where strong personal values must mean Fi. It's bullcrap. *Any* type...|||I'd agree with this. I'm not sure where equating the Social instinct with affection came from, but it doesn't make sense. If it means affection in terms of being strongly partial towards particular...|||So I don't check PerC for a few weeks, and this is the first post I see on the mistype thread.  Glad to see everything is as it should be.|||INFP.   DEAL WITH IT. :cool:|||well, as long as we're playing no-rules-enneagram....  I'd go with 1w3 - 2w8 - 7w1. Makes no sense... and yet it does. So, so much :ninja:|||An admin-- Promethea or TreeBob -- should delete the last few pages of unrelated posts. This thread had a good, unique idea and an interesting premise, and it was derailed by stupid unrelated crap...|||Based solely on descriptions like these, I would agree. However, that doesn't take into account what the motivations of the instincts themselves are, and after learning them over time I've realized...|||Just based on the descriptions themselves, I probably relate most to Social 2, weirdly enough. Sx 1, So 7 and So 8 would be the others I relate to.  I don't relate to what's almost certainly my...|||1. Tritype: 1w2 - 7w8 - 3w2 so/__  2. Paradise: Society as it is meant to be. Universal rejection of the vacuous meaninglessness that so many people mistakenly believe individualism to be....|||LMAO, that's one of the best songs ever written you know. This is perfect!  In fact, I approve of this so much that I think the Type 1 wing descriptions should be revised to the following:  1w9:...|||I'll probably go through those points you made one-by-one in a few future posts, as there's a crapload of info to go through. However, I can tell you that one thing did jump out at me right away. ...|||You aren't a 1-fixer. How's that? :3  No? Figures. Will elaborate when I have more time.   Also, lmao at you have a few values.|||If the person asks for assistance in finding their type, then suggestions are perfectly fine. But they shouldn't be treated as anything more than a starting point for the person's own reflection and...|||Goddamnit, I actually chuckled at this.  Well played.|||Why's that?|||Nah, I don't think it was making a direct link to intelligence. However, everything else you've said here, in terms of perfectionism, working hard, trying hard to make a good impression with the...|||Vanguard's post raises many questions. Are people projecting their types? Are others projecting their types onto those people allegedly projecting in response? Or has everyone, everywhere, been...|||Pretty much, yeah. I was referring to how 6s often aren't conscious of the desire to ground themselves and seek clarity, the same way 1s often aren't conscious of the standards they compare...|||Absolutely. As I said in my last post, a lot of the words used to describe the 6's mindset--insecurity and anxiety being the two most common--aren't very helpful for understanding the type....|||Forget what you've read from experts or authors or whoever the hell else. In my opinion, what I've bolded is a better demonstration of counterphobic 6 thinking than any of the dumbass descriptions...|||Drop the cutesy attitude, it's annoying. It was an unrelated ramble that made no actual suggestions to anyone looking for help. And *yes*, it was very passive aggressive. If you're having trouble...|||It was a post that didn't respond to anyone or make sense within the context of the thread. This is a thread to offer type suggestions to particular individuals asking for advice. My main point was...|||What's the point of this post? No one was being aggressive or obnoxious about someone else's type, and all suggestions I've read so far have been well thought-out.  I don't know what you're trying...|||Lol yes, we have talked about this quite a few times. And yeah, the more I read about type 7, the more I'm coming around to it as a stronger and stronger influence. I have the same hangup you've...|||LOVE THESE THREADS. WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR ANYTHING. Lol, and to think this was going so calmly, too! xD  Anyway, here's the deal: cores I've considered recently are 1w2, 7w8 & 8w7. Tritype would be...|||You certainly are a space cadet, I agree with you on that.|||As a totally impartial, non-SJ, ESTP arbitrator, I agree with the bolded sentiment. Luckily for the SJs, this thread doesn't have anyone bold and brave showing them who's boss, just an arrogant,...|||Only two of the things you wrote could have any relation to type. These:    Se-dominant types can certainly daydream and are actually prone to being easily bored and drifting off, but they're not...'
