Keep at it Anime! I think you're doing really well. Even in cases of brain injury, neuroplasticity has the ability to rewire parts of itself to function perfectly fine, from what I know. I have a nephew who had a stroke some days before birth, and for the first 6 months or so he couldn't really...

[Merged various threads together, on Animekitty's type] @Animekitty - I have yet to find someone with your exact vultology, to compare against, but you approximate very clearly as Ni-lead. In the majority of your videos (and forum posts) you are engaging in a flavor of data-dump activity...

@Hado - How's the group been since your last post? What you wrote sounds really healthy; really how I think children learn to "get along" and be social, integrated humans. Isn't it odd how our systemizations can be far less intelligent than what our bodies and biology know is best for us? We...

Re: The Typology Domain Yes, that's precisely right. Most people know this, intrinsically, even though they never think about it too deeply. For example, do a google search for "contemplating" and you get results like this: What do we see? The posture is withdrawn (I) away from the...

It's ok. I'm a freelancer web designer so it works out. :) Sorta. :ahh04: Oh, I don't have a very firm opinion of your type yet... I was just being tongue-in-cheek. But if I had to say, you sound like an mbti ENTP to me (or a CT NeFi-Te). If extroversion is understood as a magnetic...

Hi there! You must be very brave to come out and face the scrutiny of the skeptics and non-believers. *gives Silina a plad scarf* *gives Set an invisibility cloak* Welcome~

Some people believe, incorrectly, that the "MBTI" is a unanimous description of a single system. The truth is there are many sister typological systems involved in this domain, and depending on which one you're talking about -- what you mean by it can be entirely different. Here's a chart I put...

Welcome, oh competent one, to the cave of the incompetents! Whatever type you are, I'm sure it's more rewarding than being whatever we are. I'm allergic to work, it gives me anxiety, makes me tired, fatigued and sweaty. Err.. they say it's normal, but I don't trust 'em doctors.... so I...

Oh, all the better! Welp.. she communicated a complete indifference to etiquette, and an unwillingness to change, while she was here. Preferring to go out in a glorious bang of defiance, than to give an inch... So my guess is, whatever she's doing over there right now -- you only have more of...

Err, sorry about that. :cat: Heads-up, don't wait as long as we did! Tell your mods before it's too late.

So I'm hoping to continue the trend of introducing 1 new type per day. For #3, today's type is FiSe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAwRZ7kxIiI Fortunately, MBTI and CT seem to agree on this one pretty well, as I believe Michael Jackson = ISFP, Marilyn Monroe = ISFP, Prince = ISFP, Kate Bush...

I can try to convey what I presently know. Here is one example: These two are NeFi (white+female chosen deliberately, to better highlight the differences) Notice the heaviness in the eyes of the girl with depression. The non-depressed girl (Quinn) has a sparkle in her eye; they're more...

Here's a quick primer on these two. Introversion & Extroversion These two psychic dispositions are excellently described in Jung's opening pages of Psychological Types as a magnetic attraction to the 'object' (E) or the repulsion of the external for a gravitation toward the subject (I)...

Aren't they? Yes, Miley is a different shade from most of the others. I couldn't really capture her shade in the vid properly. In any case, I'm glad you're seeing something!

Mhm. :) I estimate I've done about 600 typings, personally, if I factor in all the private readings I've done, and that of family members and friends. But a lot of those are in my own memory or otherwise inaccessible to others. About 350 of those I actually have online videos for -- and...

Oy. I really hope not to turn this into a member typing thread. How about this... i promise i'll try my hand at member typings after the thread's reached 30 posts, if it gets there. That may give me a bit more time to explain the theory. 'Cuz the problem is, without an understanding of the...

That's exactly the right way to do it. Notice similarities, and see if they cross over into psychological similarities. If there is no connection, break the association. Keep track of the degree of fidelity between signal-to-psyche associations you make, and drop any that aren't more than 50%...

@Gopher - There are potentially infinite types, depending on how granular you want to go in your compartmentalization. If you notice the mind-map in the OP has various "shades" (over 80 i'm sure), because even within types there are more and less similar people. The amount of granularity you...

@Metrics Yes, indeed. CT has such a thing. It's called the vultology code - although it's not yet completed online. (workin' on it) It's a codex of 110 signals that are unambiguously defined. Each signal has: A written definition of its visual constitution (down to facial muscle names) At...

(On purpose, yep, to help the pattern come out at first. until we've gotten the hang of it.) @Grayman - pretty perceptive! so to summarize your post... * looking off diagonally when remembering * scrunching faces (as if really pronouncing their words) in expression of disgust * lips flexed...

Gopher scores 5 points! That's one signal present across Pe users. Pe adds a bubbly energy to the body, which manifests in a swaying body/head rhythm (proportional to its degree of strength in the psyche.) Psychologically, "loose body swaying" demonstrates a relaxation of Judgment, a fluidity...

Ah... yes. ): Nasty things were said both ways; neither side's entirely innocent.

It wasn't just your post moved; I'm not signaling you out. I thought the derail was amusing in a way. I made sure to keep your point here, about RedBaron. (Unless your 'point' was that intp's=boring pot smokers, or that the members here are fake-intps. both of which I thought were obvious...

inb4 jumping to the TiNe part of the mindmap to look for personal correlations. Starting with yourself is *not* the way to understand CT. This is because we have the most degree of bias involved in our own self identity. Oddly enough, CT is not a model designed to easily give people...

Hello! As some of you may know, I've been involved in the creation of a new typology model for the past five years - with the help of Renee Bayard and a few other core developers around the world. I've shared maybe about 5% of the theory on this forum some years ago, at most, as I've preferred...

Oh, nothing was 'silenced'... I just split off the tangent posts here, since it got way off topic. Feel free to continue the post chain there.

When the sustaining of a principle comes at a practical cost that is too high and ultimately leads to worse outcomes; that's when practicality must override principle. For example, "in principle" ...we should always value life and preserve it. But what if preserving a life comes at the cost of...

Laying cozily on my bed or chair with earphones on. I don't like to broadcast my sounds, and I get self-conscious and turn it down or off if someone else is in the room. Music is a very personal thing for me. I am quite taken back by the immense volume of high quality music which globalization...

lol, i'll see if i can bribe hado or kuu for the arcade. :cool: :pueh: i do understand your point, i think. yea.. the ....unfortunate thing about 'management' (of a forum or any other place) is that it forces a degree of compromise between ideal principles and pragmatic solutions. the...

I wonder about this too. Relationships are like movies; they go through phases. And what's the next phase? Where are people 'at' now in their lives? And what would that 'phase' want to have as an experience? Maybe meaningful interaction now means starting business enterprises together. Or more...

The standard MBTI falls into the category of a psychometric, which creates category delineations that are useful for measuring differences between people. The validity of these categories, in some more fundamental biological sense, is contested, with the most optimistic conclusions being that...

Briefly, it's my estimation that Eastern thought has truly mastered the skill of holistic relativity. That is, having a view of reality that is not disproportionate/lopsided; one that is temperate, wise and very accurate as a whole (though vague on the details). The East, while presently...

I like your thread topics lately. +1 Well, what a packed question! How can one master an artform without a cohesive understanding if its containing medium and environment? Wouldn't the most perfect deductive/inductive thought necessarily require omniscience? Our thinking is flawed to the...

I just spent my whole evening looking into these two, especially Summerhill. My head is still tingling. How did I not know about these... I can't even... *tosses hands up in the air* my work here is done!! I feel so happy to know these schools exist. I honestly had no idea. I'm still processing...

Ditto. Though I've been getting into Jordan B. Peterson's work a lot lately, so I hope I can contribute some thoughts. He is a pragmatist, I'm pretty sure. And he extends that pragmatism to human studies. It's not really that he's arguing for the validity of religions, but often he speaks...

Interesting. I think I get what you're saying.. It is problematic, though, when one can't just disengage their mental or emotional preoccupations, as with things like (social) anxiety disorders. I think a healthy person would have the capacity to reorient their attention to the present stimuli...

Ah, reputations are so difficult to manage... I'm quite an ignorant, disenchanting human just like all the rest. :) But to clarify, I was happy to see this test type me as something different because said tests are only functional in accurately typing people who fall on the one-sided spectrum...

I think the level of tolerance one has for these scenarios is related to a person's own inner psychological health. How exhausting it is, is a sign of how much energy has to be spent to be "outwardly present" when the psyche wishes to invert itself by default. For some people, even just...

LIE-1Te TeNi (ENTj) http://www.sociotype.com/tests/result/est/207150 ILI (INTp): 97% as likely Ah! This is the first time I've gotten anything other than INTj, or the occasional INFj. It's directly related to recent changes in my development which I've been working on.

I love the model! (then again, i'm a fan of models) While his talk was about gaming, I think his octalysis concept is less about gaming and more an approaching/description of human psychology and human motivation in general. It begs the question.... what is gaming? ...if not just humans...

Ty Blar. My terribly inept brain. I think I asked the wrong question. :p I knew an expanding universe would dilute the energy density of the universe, but always wonder why. (i.e. why isn't it a closed system instead -> why does space expand at all) As in; in one form or another, everything...

Sounds like an interesting book! Wouldn't it be interesting if energy was turning into space? So the Big Freeze at the end of the universe is actually all of the energy of the big bang turning into spacetime. I always wonder why the universe would ever 'go cold' if --as a closed system-- it...

@nanook - Yes... I think I know that (sterile transhumanist) mindset well. What I seem to be up against now, in my own personal journey, is the task of practically and meaningfully connecting with the outer world in precisely those simplistic ways which I previously disliked. And also to take...

whoops. i misunderstood the humorous intent in your post... ! err, well i was actually debating whether or not you were just havin' some funzies, but then i realized your post had a lot of deeper meaning and i wanted to reply seriously. then i realized if i did, it'd turn into a topic derail...

So much to say here... The typology bit's quite related to this, yes. It's not so much an excuse as an explanation for why different people struggle with different things. For those of us who are high Pe+Ji, the tendency in life is always to reconsider and re-evaluate. The Pe function (no...

great posts lately! your posts often leave me ruminating; i really appreciate them. ...i'm trying to compose a response; hopefully my words will decide to come out. ;p ..you weave so many subjects together that i can't decide what angle to respond from. i'll just have to flip a couple dozen coins.

I wanted to continue this tangent too, so I hope it's ok to move this bit into this thread. (: Are those quotes you've written previously? Oh it's a collection of quotes by various members. And a rather succinct compilation of the soft protesting which the more serious members have made. I...

What are some of those dreams, ..if I may ask? ..why worthless? and would it truly be a good idea to accept a feeling like that? o: or wait, maybe you mean acceptance in the zen sort of sense, where we are humbly at peace within ourselves? It seems there are a handful of responses to...

This thread is about demotivation, mental paralysis and stagnation... whether in one's personal growth or outer dreams. I wonder how many forumers here feel like they've gotten stuck in a mental swamp? an emotional quicksand from which there seems to be no escape? Often, the ironic thing is...

Yep ^^ Simple, right? :angel01: Maybe this thread's just more of an "FYI... someone's at the helm again!" Not suggesting revolutionary ideas, but letting members know so they don't get too shocked when they see their precious fluff piled outside the forum dumpster bin. :rolleyes:
