Meyers-Briggs Personality Type

[Jasper]

I keep getting different scores from time to time.

Same with every other personality type test.  In the Big 5 I score anywhere from almost total neuroticism to almost none.  I took a quarter of personality psych, and the takeaway I got from it is that situations are the biggest prediction of behavior, followed somewhat distantly by beliefs and expectations.

Quit fucking up the paperwork! 

Stay in your box!  It took a lot of work to design and build those boxes.

[Jasper]

Yes sir.  I will requisition a prosthetic personality from the psychiatrist.

Yes sir.  I will requisition a prosthetic personality from the psychiatrist.

That's better.

Sheesh, sometimes I see NO gratitude for all the things done for you.

[Adios]

Sheesh, sometimes I see NO gratitude for all the things done for to you.

Ingrates.

They are pretty good boxes.  If I hack off a few appendages, I'll fit nicely.

Oops, i almost forgot every system of characterisation is inherently bad.

BTW, I'd like to remind people to refer to me with the terms 'em' and 'hir' to avoid being gender typecast.

Ah, but they are incredibly useful in certain ways!

if you take a personality test like the MBTI repeatedly over the years, you can document -- in very specific and internally consistent ways -- how your personality changes over time

systems that have more dynamic characterizations, like Leary's Interpersonal Circumplex, are really helpful for describing group behaviors

Or, more accurately, who you think you are over time. The test is flawed like that.

I'm a libra close the Virgo cusp with a Scorpio moon and a perilous fondness for lucious pieces.

Oops that's TOTALLY different.

INFP. Which, apparently, makes me an oversensitive whiny little pansy.

I think Dingo was being sarcastic. 

[Phox]

You answered your own question. 

Come now, humanity is fun. 

Depends how you define "fun". 

[Cain]

Introverts have more fun.  This is tautologically provable by any psychologist.  In fact, that's why introverts need more time off on their own, because they have so much fun they power down and need to recharge.

I am proof positive of that. I challenge any motherfucker to a fun contest. TO THE DEATH.
