Bold and practical experimenters, masters of all kinds of tools.

So I have been reading David Wilcock's articles for a few years now, and became more interested in them in the past year or so. I'm not signed up to watch his Cosmic Disclosure series because you...

I recently met an ENFP firefighter. He was a college student studying mechanical engineering. It never occurred to me in a million years to imagine an ENFP as a firefighter. He told me that on his...

By definition, it's physically impossible to say something you would never say. However, in spite of that, I'll give an example. I was in a different typology forum not too long ago, and somebody...

No joke, I seriously think it is the weather, if you are in the United States, that is. I *never* feel suicidal, ever, and if I do, I know it was caused by taking some toxic herbal drug or other...

It is, until and unless I can use the information for something in the real world. The goal is to eventually use the system to bring people together who get along with each other, to create a...

I found something in another thread. (*note, the person who wrote that has declared their type to be INTJ, the ISFP's socionic activator.*) Okay. I saw in several places that Nardi says...

The short answer is yes, I *think* that is what he said. I just can't remember where I read this. It might possibly have been on a Reddit page, something like 'Dario Nardi Ask Me Anything,' I...

That's odd, I never even saw this post. I saw your next one but not this one. In the mid-1990s I took a computerized MBTI test after my roommate told me about it. I got INTP (mistyped as an...

I've been trying to guess Diana Leafe Christian's personality type for a while, but since she's not a huge famous celebrity, nobody really seemed to be interested when I mentioned her in another...

I keep editing that post, but instead I'll just add another post. It's like someone could literally be a judge, wearing a judge's robe and a judge's curly white wig, sitting at a desk or bench...

The short answer is, it's all a huge mistake, but people keep doing it anyway. The long answer: It's complicated. If you take the MBTI test, and if you answer the questions as introverted,...

'Some college' is my answer, but then I realized, that also includes people who are currently in college and are likely to finish, whereas for me, it means, the 'some college' occurred decades ago,...

I once saw Jim Carrey typed as an ENTJ, and he's Truman, the hero in the Truman Show, one of my favorite movies. I wasn't sure of Carrey's type, but ENTJ is possible - I thought he was something in...

It's actually something you can see in the modern world. Every person who gets orthodontic braces needs to read this book to find out why their face was deformed. It's useful for anybody who is...

I like to try weird foreign foods sometimes, but I have to be in the mood for it. I love cooking for myself, but right now I can't, so I'm eating stuff I don't really like at restaurants. I was...

I used to enjoy dancing if I was alone in my room at home and I had my favorite music on. I am very picky about music, and I hate almost all the music at the clubs and bars - I can't dance to it. I...

I didn't mean to spew a wall of text and then suddenly abandon the thread, but I just moved out of my apartment and have no internet, so I have to only dabble on the internet briefly while I am at...

my brother John used to have every possible color of Converse shoes, and he's an ISTP.

This is my contribution to ISTP 'porn.' This book contains dozens and dozens of pictures of primitive people from all over the planet who have perfectly formed faces and teeth, and compares them to...

Random forum issues, such as not letting me post?

Windmill Slam I actually got a lot out of reading Rick DeLong's blog, The [Ex-]Socionist. He became disenchanted with socionics, and wrote a lot of blog posts in recent years about the reasons why...

The other idea is, how would each of the 16 types survive on a desert island, without society to support them? A feeling-type person is still capable of using logic, and an intuitive is able to...

I know one thing, for example. As I got older, I learned how to better handle the supervision relations - ESFJs, who often literally do supervise me in the workplace, as they often become managers. ...

This made me think of something. I seem to remember reading that feeling types will even attribute feelings to inanimate objects. So how the object is 'feeling' tells you something about it, which...

Yeah, the biggest thing that I want to write an article about is the nasty, evil J/P switch - except that I believe that it's not merely causing damage when people try to translate between the two...

lol... I swear, you people. I think I have a lot of explaining to do... but I'll have to come back to the forum in the next couple days, postponed for now... So far, to sum it up, I get the...

jinhong91 You are not the cause of my meltdown, by the way. I am having a meltdown because I'm under extreme stress from having to move out of my apartment and from taking over-the-counter drugs...

Sorry. Cup of coffee. Postpone rant.

What makes it even more complicated is, I myself don't even use the 'normal' socionics model, Model A. I actually use a weird model called Model B, made by Bukalov, and it has 16 information...

I'm actually coming back to the world of MBTI after being away from it for several years, so I have forgotten how the functions are ordered here and what the rationale is for ordering them that way. ...

In socionics, an ISTP's functions are actually written as Si Te Ni Fe Ne Fi Se Ti. It's different from the way functions are written in MBTI. In socionics, the ENFP is Ne Fi Se Ti Si Te Ni Fe. You...

I know from experience that if an ENFP breaks up with you it can be a horrible experience, because my old best friend cut off connections with all of her family and old friends, including me, due to...

Okay, is there any perception of socionics users as 'inferior,' 'stupid,' 'taken in?' Like socionics users are in a cult, or like they believe in astrology, or it's like a religion? Are they...

I'm curious how many other ISTPs here have heard of socionics and are using it. I myself ignored it and wasn't interested in it when I first saw the word 'socionics' mentioned in forums. The word...

I find socionics to be the biggest turn on... all the relations between all of the 16 types methodically described... ENFPs are actually the best type for an ISTP, the socionic duals. However, when...

I am going to have to make that thread necromancer card my next avatar.

I did not yet read the other replies in this thread yet. Somebody else might have had a similar experience to mine. Believe it or not, one of the most enjoyable jobs I ever did was working at...

I think every thread should be a sticky. Every thread is precious and must never be forgotten. I'm sorry, I find this very amusing.

I use socionics, so this might not be exactly the same description you would get from someone using MBTI/JCF. I'm pretty sure my mom is an ESTJ. She gets very upset when she doesn't know what's...

Thank you, Mr. Cafebot, for the ceremonial dance welcoming me to this forum. It makes me feel like I am somebody important. It is very nice to meet you and your family and your dog. This...

I'm introducing myself here, but I'm not actually a newbie. I've been interested in typology for a really long time and have learned about both the Myers-Briggs and socionics. There really is a lot...
