    Default Temperaments

    I want to do a temperament thread and start fresh. What characteristics do you observe with the EP, EJ, IP, IJ temperaments, and how would you personally define each?. It's late right now so I'll post my two cents when I get more energy

    I have the wiki to go off.

    Out of interest, was it just Expat who wrote that, or did, for example, Rick or niffweed make a contribution? How widespread are the traits observed in each temperament typical to their respective temperaments?

    I wrote the bulk of it, with Rick, thehotelambush, machintruc and niffweed, and probably still others, also commenting.

    Temperaments have been described at length by Gulenko, Lytov, and there was a very good article (whose author I forget now) that Kristiina posted. The wiki is meant to be a distillation of those, plus bits of personal observations here and there.

    The bit on explaining temperaments via Static/Dynamic and Rational/Irrational is my own understanding, but anyway that's not necessary to understand the other points.

    As for "how widespread": that applies to anything regarding socionics. For instance, in your case: you say you don't seem EP, but you seem to write a lot here out of boredom and/or impulsiveness, which to me is very EP.

    This isn't the case. It's part of my morning routine. And I actually enjoy learning about and discussing socionics. I'm rarely bored, and I limit my impulsiveness to shopping for books, games, DVDs and CDs.

    Is this attributable to all SLEs? And what do you mean by it exactly?

    I do wonder if you being Ij temperament influences that view of Eps. Personally I don't really notice that which you've said, but then again I'm wondering if that's because of the dual temperament.
