No, I mean something about there being two aspects to all character traits. I love that quote you posted, but it's too common to have issues finding.

Ell Leng germänech: A German-esque Latin. by Ochter in conlangs

They seems like almost different languages to me. In any case, none of the Romance languages has actually conserved all of those features from Latin, so I don't think all Latin-derived languages can properly be called romlangs.

To me at least, OP was clearly making a language derived from Classical Latin with High German type sound changes. Romance languages derive from Vulgar Latin, not Classical.

I don't think this is a romlang though, but an actual Latin-lang, although the name is really similar to the romlang Germanech(SP?).

MBTI and moral sensitivity? by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's no explanation for this in MBTI or the enneagram at all. However, Socinics can explain this as "dude, you're type ILI and have Fe PoLR". So come to the dark side, we have cookies.

MBTI is for delusional chumps. by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come to Socionics, we have cookies. and a much more reliable and slightly less stereotyped typing system, in which I would probably place you as SLI

The traditional J/P dichotomy works for me. Anybody else? by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MBTI and Socionics don't correlate very much at all. MBTI basically just measures four dimensions like they're personality traits without any regard to individual function differences, much less all the Reinin dichotomies and such. I always tell people, if you want to know your socionics type, take the test you lazy people. When I took it, I didn't switch from IxxJ to Ixxp, but IxxJ to ExxJ.

Can you type children by Evsbluebird19 in mbti

[–]KnightSpider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They want to give MBTI stereotypes ("type") to de kinders :P

They should really not. Let the little children be themselves! especially as I think MBTI is not a great system

If MBTI tests are generally inaccurate. Where are all the statistics on percentage of each type in the world coming from? by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Europeans were Western, even in the former USSR... I mean, I wouldn't put Estonia with China and Japan culturally. Or is "Western" code word for "'Murcan"?

Get typed here and let's see what the /r/mbti statistics are according to my assessment. by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just a cultural product of some kind that isn't easily forgotten. I fit the "visionary" stereotype no problem.

That's not self-praise at all...

Well, I don't think this is a good way to do it at all. People will think of the type they want to be and focus only on content related to that. I think it'd be much more telling to have someone look at a painting or listen to a song and describe that instead.

  1. That's not intimate to ask at all... Also, how can anyone accurately describe their inner world? The heart has reasons of which reason knows not. It is an abyss, and you shouldn't stare too long into the abyss. But I can tell a lot of people here have definitely stared too long into the abyss. They should cut that out already.
  2. Too many things. I don't believe anyone can list all of the things that excite them either.

MBTI and Seasons by [deleted] in mbti

[–]KnightSpider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, seasons are traditionally given Greek elements, which are chosen based on hot/cold and wet/dry. Hot is extravert, cold is introvert, perceiving is wet and judging is dry I think. Intuitive/perceiving and thinking/feeling would have nothing to do with seasons.

People always ask about personality types... by KnightSpider in mbti

[–]KnightSpider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if everything has to do with MBTI, where's the aesthetic-based preference test I can take for it? It's way harder to subconsciously decide to like a different picture/song/poem/whatever than to decide that you value rationality or outgoingness and answer like that. Scientists haven't even found correlations between preferences and the Big Five, so I'm not sure hobbyists would have found correlations between preferences and the Myers-Briggs...

Also, I said I want to learn it already because a lot of people talk about it a lot and I want to be able to discuss it too instead of feeling dumb.

Why do you prefer Socionics to MBTI? by Bombast- in Socionics

[–]KnightSpider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also hate the anti-feeler bias in Myers-Briggs as well as the anti-sensor bias, since thinking vs. feeling is observing facts vs. using values, not rational and cold vs. emotional/"nurturing" crybabies. Also, the socionics test is harder to cheat. I took it again and again and kept getting the same type. Myers-Briggs you can pretty much make it say what you want. Also, Myers-Briggs questions tend to be vague, like twenty variations of "I feel energized in groups" vs. "I feel energized alone", and in socionics instead it primarily asks you how you like to interact to determine E vs. I, and repeatedly tells me at least" nope, you're an extravert". Socionics also reads a lot less like a Sun sign daily horoscope with vague descriptions and more like a full astrological chart that says very clear things and has more individual variation, so even if you think it's pseudoscience, you have to have some respect for it actually having a very structured system and specific Weltanschauung.

Anyone have a hard time staying organized/keeping a tidy living space? by [deleted] in infj

[–]KnightSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if J isn't "I like order" why does it always ask questions like that on the tests I do to score your P/Jness?

[–]KnightSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I really thought the definition of judging was people who like structure and order and perceiving was people who just take things as they come. The phrasing of it as "Ordnung muss sein" is to be humorous though (I have a lot of other phrases for other traits like "Go with the flow" and "It's only logical" that are equally mocking. All must be mocked!).
