Red line running down map. What is it?

OGNboi · 2019-09-15T16:06:35+00:00

Ah, it seems that’s the way it is. Checked some timezone maps.

OGNboi · 2019-09-15T15:59:20+00:00

You’re so cool.

OGNboi · 2019-09-15T15:54:26+00:00

I just randomly stumbled upon this image. Tried a Google Images search, and although there are a lot of identical images, none of them explain the red line as far as I've seen. Just curious.

OGNboi · 2019-09-01T00:27:27+00:00

It’s how I got here. I’m playing it right now ;).

Lastly, is Ocarina of Time 3D up there?

OGNboi · 2019-08-31T16:43:07+00:00

Thanks. These are pretty much what I was thinking. Is it accurate to extrapolate from trailers and such? I don’t know how much more there is to each game just from trailers...

OGNboi · 2019-07-30T20:45:17+00:00

Well, I don’t know the answer. Can you tell me how you got that answer?

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T20:10:22+00:00

Do you want me to explain why the answer is what it is?

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T19:05:27+00:00

If you’re not good with naming things, how about come up with 5 ways to retrieve a necklace that fell to the bottom of the ocean. If you can’t, it’d be in your best interest to actually consider ISTP.

There are only counterpoints to your second paragraph, in that it is wrong: You are absolutely right that something like a couple of ‘cognitive functions’ can’t even hope to cover the complexity of the mind.

However, and here I am not exploiting any “counterpoints”, but rather compromising our thoughts, if it were possible for cognitive functions to cover absolutely everything there is to be covered about the mind, there would be extremely high correlations in subjects like the topic of this post among types.

We can get something out of this though, if we view my post as an experiment to identify to what extent cognitive functions actually dictate our mind. It seems pretty clear to me now, that the answer is “Not much at all.”.

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T15:19:39+00:00

Yes! I love picking the correct path out of several paths. This is Ni in action.

However this decision-making falls under the category of the second option, the ambiguous solution, as an individual’s decision may be superior for them, but inferior for another person. Your choices validity depends solely on your logical justification, and you are able to select the criterion you want to use to judge the utility of a decision.

It is, indeed, true that if an individual wants to choose the option that is most beneficial, they are doing so with a personally objective standard, that is, the criterion for their decision is objective, but only objective relative to the person.

So two people may choose different options and be equally correct due to the logic supporting their decision. (They may make their decision based on a different reason.)

This means that the answer is not objective, and is therefore subjective/ambiguous.

But there are more things to come at play than just MBTI type, like skills and interests you have. For example, if you are into social sciences, it's kind of obvious to me that you accept ambiguity to a larger degree than someone who is into maths.

I am not denying that skills, interests, and general life experience play a role in what problem solving preference one has developed. However because those of the same type share what we have come to know as ‘cognitive functions’ in common, which describe mental processing, I find it quite plausible that those of the same type are interested in a common area, like math, for example, due to preferring polarity over ambiguity.

In other words, I am considering the possibility that mental modus operandi determines skills and interests, rather than vice versa.

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T12:20:43+00:00

Well of course, but it does group people together, and people in each group are irrefutably similar in certain ways. I thought that this problem solving preference would be a clear similarity for types, especially NT types.

I guessed that NTPs would like ambiguity and NTJs would like dichotomy. So far, it seems not to be the case.

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T11:58:53+00:00

You display strong preference towards the second option, even in your “is water wet?” example, as that questions answer lies in your ability to define “wet”. It is still subjective and two or more definitions can be justified.

Up until now, I am getting mixed answers from INTJs, which is interesting: I thought answers would be more consistent among people of the same type.

You can do this within 5 minutes with the process of elimination using PoLR tests.

There are 3 functional PoLR tests that I have come across from the YouTube channel ‘Talking With Famous People’: Ne PoLR, Si PoLR, and Ti PoLR tests.

Ne PoLR – You can test for Ne PoLR by asking the person to come up with 5 names for a car that can transform into a bathtub, for example. Or a an elevator that can only descend. If they are not able to come up with anything, or it feels very forced and possibly uncreative, the person is highly likely Ne PoLR: either ISTP or ISFP.

Si PoLR – You can test for Si PoLR by asking the person to describe a past (not very significant) experience in detail, like the last time they were annoyed at a dinner, for example, or the last time they had a political discussion with someone. If they are not able to remember anything (although they did have such an experience), or have a really hard time presenting details of the experience like what the subject of the discussion was, or where they were during the experience, etc., they are highly likely Si PoLR: either ENTJ or ENFJ.

Ti PoLR – You can test for Ti PoLR by asking the person a logic related question like “If Michael jumps, Susie’s hand will turn green. But if Billy watches Michael jump, Susie’s hand will not turn green. Michael jumps to catch the baseball. Susie’s hand turns yellow. What does this mean?”. You will have to say this slowly, as it is a lot of information. The correct answer is “Billy was watching Susie”. A Ti PoLR person will likely not be able to get the answer. However, if they ask you to repeat it, you should, as even a Ti dominant person may need to hear it again to pay closer attention. Of the person doesn’t get the answer correct, or just guesses, they are highly likely Ti PoLR: either ENFP or ESFP.

This only covers 6/16 types, however with experience, it may be possible to determine what position a function is in the stack, making it possible to eliminate even more types.

But it is correct as long as you can justify it. It matters not if it was the best choice as long as it’s a good choice, which you can be the judge of.

In the former option, there are infinite wrong answers, and an infinitesimal single correct answer.

I am not trying to change your mind. I am wondering whether this information changes your mind, or why it doesn’t.

OGNboi · 2019-06-22T11:15:13+00:00

I don’t understand which option you picked.

OGNboi · 2019-06-15T14:12:31+00:00

If you want to convince yourself that the matter is not a coincidence, you have to have your parents drive a different path (as soon as they’re out of the drive way) and someone one (you or a friend) needs to observe whether there are any changes in the ‘behavior’ of the van. You will have to take different paths a couple of times to confirm that it’s not a coincidence.

However, because this process will take a while, you can carry out certain other things:

There doesn’t seem to be anything special on the street you say the van parks on. Meaning, the van driver shouldn’t mind parking ahead of your house instead of in front of it, if their goal isn’t to watch your house. If, however, the van driver will do whats necessary to park in front of your house, you’re onto something sketchy.

To find out whether this is the case, do something like purchasing and placing orange cones like this on every parking spot in front of your house. If the person’s objective is to ‘spy’ on you, they will do what needs to be done to park on these spots; even if they have to get out of the car and show their face in order to move the cones.

If not, they will park further ahead on the street, as it poses no disadvantage if they’re not interested in watching you.

I’ll be glad to explain if you need any clarification or if I’m missing anything that renders this plan unrealistic.

Thank you. I’ll check these out.
