FMBH

What's FMBH stand for? 

Hint:

INTP = I Need T. P.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Hey Cram, you'll know this.  Whats the name of that effect where people selectively ignore the negative or erroneous stuff when their personality is being described?  You know, like with astrology and stuff?

The Forer Effect.

Thats it!

I just wanted to mention it, so people would keep it in mind.

I'm sortof torn on personality tests.  I find them fascinating, especially of people I've known a long time, but I'm also suspicious of them, especially if its only the person themselves who can see the resemblance.

I actually am amused partly because that description of INFJ was the most flattering one I've ever seen. It completely omitted the dictatorial, pigheaded, contrary, elitist, steamroller aspects of the personality type.

Then again, I almost imagine that each "type" would require a whole book for really substantive description, and like you, I'm not sure how much stock I put in the whole thing (except that I've consistently tested INFJ for years, and it does describe me fairly accurately... or at least, it describes how I see myself fairly accurately.)

I'm INTP which seems rather popular here.  This is the third or fourth time I've taken this and have always gotten INTP.  My T is a lot stronger than it used to be.

Who is the freak who is ESFJ?

IIRC, INTPs make up about 1-2% of the general population.  We have 5.

It's been far to long since I've taken stats to tell if that is statistically significant or not.

Curious if there are some personality types predisposed to Discordianism.

Why on Earth would you want to assign yourself a catagory?  We have the "government" for that.

I'm pretty strongly an INTJ, but the description offered on this page http://similarminds.com/jung/intj.html is pretty suck and fail.

I much prefer this description http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/psychology/alt.psychology.personality/profiles/intj.html , which says I have the same personality type as Gandalf the Grey

ESFJ - "Seller". Most sociable of all types. Nurturer of harmony. Outstanding host or hostesses. 12.3% of total population.
Freak?

Curiosity.
And don't we place ourselves in a category when we label ourselves as Discordian?

One of the things that I enjoy about the "Discordian" label is that the definition of "Discordian" is really fucking hard to nail down.

Yep.

I didn't know that the words "superior" and "Subgenius" could be used in the same sentence.  And I don't think this one applies.

But I forgive ya
