@Bronto Thanks. *performs masculine curtsy*

Perhaps to better understand the roles or just for novelty, I tried thinking of of what types made of function orders that went against the theory. So, perhaps to help better understand the roles or just for novelty, I decided to post them. TiNi: Because this type's dominant function is...

Something that's been brought to my attention from my attention is that there are small, ideas, mental processes that seem to be memetic (possibly a common solitary development? not necessarily spreading) but you don't really notice until you're looking for them. I'll give you an example or two...

Most interesting. I'll read up on these. Thanks for divulging.

Could this be expanded upon? My puny mind is having trouble finding a possible hypothetical that aligns with this.

^ ^ ^ After not being able to come up with a good answer myself, I like this one.

Yeah TV is evil. Also magazines for the same reasons

Yeah that's what I did for creepy noises like this. I think it's my fan now. We should throw a party at my house to celebrate. It's 221B Baker Street, London.

^ YES. Thank you. This is why I don't read fiction often. I've read the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy series a couple times(except for Mostly Harmless), but other than that I may have read one other thing that wasn't for school.

The title includes kind of what I want to express, but I'm not sure exactly what that is so I'll reserve a final judgement until maybe I DO know what I want to express. ANYWAYS I was thinking, or recognizing how boring a lot of things are because they all hold patterns that no one ever DARES...

^ I'm sort of the opposite. If someone was just yelling and trying to hurt me, I probably would try to summon a piercing witticism or just plan something really passive aggressive but not actually get 'hurt' per se, just provoked. If someone was actual expressing genuine complaints about me, I'd...

So a wall? :) Sounds nice though.

@ Minuend Sounds nice @ Da-Gophinator I have a suspicion that if I read C&H when I was much younger, I'd be a slightly better person now. I could see myself enjoying that, too.

Also, I don't think I've responded to this yet, but I'm bored and possibly useful. As people have said, you can excel in the activities and output of that function's "domain", however that doesn't determine how strong a function is. To all who haven't, I very much recommend reading Jung's...

@ Blarraun yey Oh, I should have picked up on that, huh? @ Rook Simple

Ha I don't understand what you're saying there.

@ Blarraun You posted kind of an impressionisticy picture and I said that you didn't give me the *impression* of someone who would pick something so *picturesque* I will not cease until there are reluctant giggles being had.

Blarraun, I fear you missed my joke :) Sounds really nice now.

You didn't give me the impression of someone who'd pick something so picturesque. Seriously though it looks nice.

Right. I'd have more canned refried beans than I would realistically be able to eat. I miss tex-mex food so much. I'd own explosives for sure.

@ yeller That's sounds absolutely lovely. I didn't think about secret things. Now I'd add a secret cave in the side of one of the plateaus for secret operations and whatnot.

@ Cog All 3 sound nice, I'd like those as well. All of these are making mine sound so unambitious :) ♥ the new pic btw @ the rain-meister Sounds nice too. I've thought about China. I'd have to do a ton of research before I considered it though. @ Analyzer Noice. If I...

Are the lower dimensions not posh enough for you? I'll have you know people of ziggledink-2C are quite pleasant, although you can never really tell where to look when they speak. Now mine sounds SO boring. Look what you did.

@ Ryan Yeo What she said. Again, just because it's a possible course of action that you technically can't regret, it by no means makes it a *good* decision. Yeah, it's been answered a few times at least. Just read back and read considerately and carefully.

@ MrBeans no prob @Happy I like your user name btw; I love minimalism in usernames. I wish I had chosen something with less than 4 syllables, something concise. Anyhoo, that sounds lovely.

What comforts, leisurely things would you like to ideally acquire/maintain? If you want to just list material possessions that's fine, but I'm emphasizing general living conditions. Me: A smallish house in one of the drier and rockier parts of Texas surrounded by orange plateaus and 1 foot...

Sure, I may have phrased it weird. It's like something starts to worry me- it used to be intrusive thought stuff that got me, so I'll use that as an example. 'What would I do if I committed this horrible crime?' 'Whoa-whoa-what? Why did I think that? I must deep down want to do said crime...

I've already whined about this before, but now there's a thread dedicated to it so whatever. Basically, my anxiety almost always comes in the form of "pure-o" OCD wherein I come across something that worries me, then I obsess about it to convince myself that I don't need to worry (it wouldn't...

I was actually going to write something like "Oh no, you've summoned them! I hear a herd of'em now swatting wooden kitchen spoons at all the hooligans and relaying matriarchal guilt!" but then I decided to go the non-stereotypie, realistic route. Which is admittedly less fun, but I didn't feel...

It's compatible inner-happenings of an NP, however the definite ESFJs I've met would respond with something incredibly trite with a virtuous twist for sure. Ditto

Ooooh! All the possibilities. Although, we'd have to be careful to not actually (hypothetically- actually, y'know what I mean) arrange these things because else it'd just be assisted suicide, yeah? Hmmm... idk Oh, we need to just get toghether and form a support group. It'll be called "I...

Would a non-intp need to imprison us? We need @ProxyAmenRa methinks

Alright, alright. In all seriousness though .... how do we break the intp suicide reincarnation cycle? Do we form imprisonment pacts and lock each other up in 2'^2 foot, cells that are upholstered in soft, thin stuff (to ensure that you can't bash your head in the wall or suffocate by latching...

It's *a* choice, but it's shouldn't be favorable (or rather more favorable) just because you can't feel regret for it. Think back to my buffet analogy. Just because you won't know what you missed doesn't mean it's favorable to do so.

Of course arguments hold no weight if you won't actually consider them because you essentially hold you're point as infallible in the first place. The choice/view/whatever is entirely subjective in the first place, but I'll do my best to bring logic into the argument. You say that because you...

Both look interesting, I'll look into them. Yellow: Nothing in particular, I just thought that this question would potentiate good books on other people's interests surfacing.

What are books that you'd blurt out immediately (or 5 seconds or 5 days later or whatever) if someone asked you which book is a great way to start interest/fundamental knowledge of a subject/field/whathaveyou.

I can't technically define someone else's personal values, but the good thing about being the same species and growing up/learning about/from the same society is we as humans tend to have common core values. Those being we value positive feelings and have a repulsion to negative ones - this is...

Oh goodness me word spaces are really terrible to me now. ImGoingToFabricateMyOwnLanguageNowThanks. Probably something like lojban but easier to get into.

It does make more sense to deposit more care to people unless they show themselves, that they're not worth it. People will feel more invested in someone that they know very well usually, and I imagine this is amplified when the recipient has shown itself to be innocently incapable of taking care...

Walk away and don't let yourself be riled up. That'll show'em! Call 911.

"Really, that's all that the OP seems to be complaining about -- stability taken to an extreme. All types have negatives associated with extreme forms of the type." Agreed. "Continuing, in my experiences, some SJs are rigidly stable, others are more flexible." Agreed. I'm trying to break up...

"When SJ's get too much power in any given society they don't improve on things nor innovate nor encourage either. Instead they imitate and eventually everything they accomplish ends up bastardizing itself in a downward spiral." Based on what? A crude expectation of stereotype?

To be attuned to the force peacefully (in other words without turning to the dark side) you have to maintain calm and keep emotions to a minimum (In my admittedly limited experience this is the least traveled route of the ENFJ) I think it's more the area of the INTJ because of Ni foresight and...

At first I thought nearfantastica, but then I realized Architect was a better answer.

@Architect I'm aware it's a difficult and common pursuit, I still feel the urge to design/develop something (although with a minimalist & reductionist sheen) polished with original mechanics. It's satisfying just to think about (I also have to keep in mind that that's can be a trap in itself)...

There's been a trend I've noticed with myself and that is that I tend to want to get into an area just to pioneer and perfect it. For example, I've been considering getting into game development/design just to make something that irons out all of the kinks out of what's already released. I've...

This isn't quite what I was looking for, but there's a study on the effectiveness on Jungian psychotherapy. http://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/3/4/562 http://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/3/4/562/htm <- full text

Something I've noticed being accredited to Si is specific recollections, and my claim is we should really assign this trait more to *extroverted* sensing or maybe just "sensing". For evidence: My Se dom relative, as I've talked about briefly in another thread, remembers actual details like...

So, I've come to a conclusion (yeah I know) to make a mega-thread of sorts that "rounds up" evidence that gives or takes credence to Jungian based typology. Here's why: I've been thinking about the functions and dichotomies presented by Jung and Myers-Briggs and whether or not I should give...
