We all have Personality Disorders nowadays?

We all have Personality Disorders nowadays?

1) Have you ever been accused of being insulting or hurtful to others without realising that you were causing offence (acid bath murderer syndrome)?
2) Have you ever been accused of over-reacting to events?
3) Have you ever turned up an event wearing the wrong attire?
4) Have you ever felt that you were an outsider to the group?
5) Do you get paranoid about organisations trying to control you?

If you score Yes for at least Four of the Five allocations above you are suffering from the Personality Disorder known as ??????? Superior Detachment Disorder

1) Have you ever been accused of living in an unreal world of fantasy?
2) Have you ever been accused of getting hurt and upset over minor criticism?
3) Have you ever been accused of winding people when you have never intended to do so?
4) Have you ever answered a question with a question and inadvertently caused offence?
5) Have you ever been called eccentric?

If you score Yes for at least Four of the Five allocations above you are suffering from the Personality Disorder known as ??????? Information Deficit Fantasy Disorder

These allocation do not differentiate between Intuition and Sensing. In other words the political agenda is removed.

Superior Detachment Disorder? Information Deficit Fantasy Disorder?
What the hell?
Those dont even exist!

Hm... Maybe he have a Superior Fantasy Disorder?

Well, this user in question is a weirdo. For one, he seems to prefer referring to the Types with some fictional animal categories that he made up or something.

"Weirdo" is the wrong word here. Try "deluded". He seems utterly convinced that his interpretation of the Myers-Briggs types and the Keirsey temperaments is correct, but to everyone else it looks like a bizarre misinterpretation.

Perseus, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say, for example, that INTPs always think rationally, and when they think romantically or idealistically, that means they must be temporarily shifting to NF mode?

That might explain why I never understand his posts...

I kind of like a bit of eccentricity here and there.

INTPs are always at risk of coming up with systems that do not fit reality. Our introverted thinking loves to turn over information and build it into structures. If we don't develop, or simply ignore the input of our auxiliary intuitive function, we stop gathering new information that helps us refine our ideas to fit into a framework we can apply.

Most of us have been guilty of this. All I'm encouraging is taking time to apply these theories to reality and see how they match up. What changes can be made to make them better? Do they need to be scrapped or with some revision do they describe something important?

I think I get the message of the post though. With the creation of Aspergers we increase the ever growing list of how different than the perceived "normal" is sickness. How someone who develops social skills at a slower pace than others is handicapped. Soon those who have trouble understanding how to convert numbers on a page into meaningful concepts quickly and easily (i.e. extraverted sensors) will be called disabled. Its a sad state of affairs for the medical psychology community these days.

I think they call it parody, the literary critics.

For me (a card carrying INTP, when I discovered Keirsey about a month ago) parody is a natural response which is misunderstood by the Guardians or the Psi Cops (psychiatrists who believe in such nonsense).

Your style of writing is at the very least extremely intriguing.

Weird is the fates that be.

Yep, the second paragraph seems standard Keirsey from the book (which had to go back to the Library).

Hmmm, some of us here are failing to recognise ourselves reflected in the mirror of humour. (And missing an opportunity.) Squint sideways a little harder and you'll see it ,
