the 16 super types

[Joy]

If each type had a super power, what would it be?

Ideally the super power should have an inherent weakness (as super powers generally do), and dual pairs' powers cover each other's weaknesses. One's conflictor could also be one's "natural enemy" (like fire and water). If someone's feeling really ambitious, activity partners could make each other's powers stronger, and relations of supervision/benefit could also be worked in.

This is meant to be something of a brain storming session though, so don't get too caught up in making the intertype relations fit. (:

[Mediator Kam]

this is a really cool idea conflictor!

[Joy]

Good to see you.

[munenori2]

ISTp: ninja skills
ENFj: pirate skills

[Joy]

I was thinking "crowd manipulation" for EIE. Like, if they're in a crowd of people they can get people to look at, listen to, and support (obey? ) him/her.

Maybe, as a "natural enemy", SLI's could get people to go to sleep?

One Ni type could see the past, another the future, etc. Fun stuff.

[Khola aka Bee]

IEI: Easy...Mindreading/premonitions.

[crazedrat]

INTp: the power of confusion
ESFp: ability to charm opponents

[MysticSonic]

INTp: summon buckets of cold-water at will
ESFJ: inducing headaches
INTj: getting headaches

[Joy]

ESFp: ability to charm opponents

ESE should have that ability.

A Se type should have regeneration (like Claire from Heroes), and another should have super strength. LSE's could have super speed, perhaps? (The other Te dominant type doesn't want it. )

[Joy]

ESFJ: inducing headaches
INTj: getting headaches

Sounds like a match made in Heaven, lol.

[Mediator Kam]

ENTp= Escape any trap?
ISFp= Make Friends? Cook Food?

[Joy]

Oh, there should be a mechanical genius, like Mr. T from the A team. SLI is an obvious choice for that... perhaps too obvious?

[Joy]

oh oh oh oh SEI's should have the ability to heal people

[Joy]

LSI's could be genius tacticians... *shiver goes down spine thinking about the fearsome combination of this LSI with the aforementioned EIE*

[munenori2]

I was thinking "crowd manipulation" for EIE.

Well, my first idea for EIE was that they could genocide people, but that seemed a little off base. And overpowered.

LSIs should lose their tactical skills if someone shaves their mustache, like a samson sort of deal.

Well, the LSI's tactical power is useless if they can't get anyone to enact them. The EIE enslaves the masses, the LSI guides them in battle. Perhaps the EIE has to be in the presence of the people (s)he's controlling though or the power would be too great?

[crazedrat]

then you have to give INTj the power of confusion. Si is superstrength, not Se. Se could be superspeed or some kind of motion.
ESFp: the ability to phase shift from one place to another
INTp: any kind of attack passes right through them

[07490]

I am not good with almost everything but I think i can sell off an idea and get people to believe a concept.

[UDP]

alpha SF: "heal"
gamma SF: Attacks
Alpha NTs: Magic, especaially time/red/blue strange magic
GammaNTs: Magics, attack magics

NFs: ????
STs: Attacks

[crazedrat]

NFs can be useful items

Unfortunately, this is only partially creative, since BnD is already making a socionics video game. An LSE is the end boss, lol.

INTj - Ability to incite mass confusion
ENTp - Ability to take something and make it something else
ESFj - Powers of epic nagging and/or shaming resulting in pain, nausea and anal retention
ISFp - Healing properties

ISTj - Lie-detector
ESTp - Ability to control reality
ENFj - Shapeshifter
INFp - Psychic ability to see into the past present and future

ISFj - Human Bulldozer
ESFp - Cupid
ENTj - Midas Touch
INTp - Ability to absorb and regurgitate knowledge at will

INFj - Hypnosis/telepathic abilities
ENFp - Mind-reading
ESTj - Ability to control people like robots or puppets
ISTp - I choose you, Snorlax!

[Jarno]

ILI: Fortune teller

[1981slater]

If types had super powers then there should be super teams as well, like x-men:

Alpha quadra types would be the good guys.
Beta and gamma make good villains

[Creepy-Cyclops]

ISTp's: the ability to slouch comfortably

[redbaron]

this thread reminds me of the show "Heroes". And of course Hiro, who travels back and forth through time, is IEI.

[redbaron]

some of the other powers on the show are: mind reading, the ability to produce fire, the ability to heal others, the ability to produce electricity, running so fast you can't see the person, the ability to recover/heal from any wound yourself (so basically the person never dies), the ability to predict the future and paint the predictions, ETC.

does anyone else watch it? I love it. It's so comic-book-esque.

Is his main character going to be able to use "Fagic" as his special powers?

In the words of Tenacious D:

That's telekinesis, Kyle. The power...to move you.

is he really making a video games? I haven't talked with him in a while.

no

I was reading a book by a guy named Hiro the other day and my friend went into this discussion about the show, though.

[Joy]

this thread reminds me of the show "Heroes". And of course Hiro, who travels back and forth through time, is IEI.

After having seen the last episode, I was quite confused about how Hiro somehow always seems to manage to fail at everything. He's a very entertaining character and everything, but he's not very good at anything besides being enthusiastic.

If he's IEI, what type is his dad? I was thinking LSI (which wouldn't make much sense in terms of intertype relations), but perhaps that's just the Japanese businessman stereotype.

What about LSE for Hiro's father?

Yeah, Hiro always has the best of intentions but somehow manages to screw things up. I guess traveling through time isn't as great as it seems like it might be. he's cute though. I find him very endearing.

[munenori2]

What kind of bothers me about Heroes these days is that the people with good hearts seem incompetent, and anyone who knows what they're doing have iffy moral compasses. Sometimes I wonder if Peter has a learning disability.

I guess Mohinder sort of walks a fine line there, but overall that theme has slightly begun to bother me over time.

IEI Strengths

Mindreading: perceived as able to see even the darkest (hidden) areas of the psyche, mind, soul, or whatever you want to call it (Example: "They don't hate you. They fear you. Even in casual contact you seem to see things they hide even from their friends")

Charisma: perceived as able to inspire people to transcend their own self-interests for a greater good and as capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on people (Example: "You always seem to know the best thing to do.")

fwiw, I'm really good at mindreading as defined above. Especially people I know fairly well. I think I've freaked people out in the past with this.

[crazedrat]

ILI strengths:
Whiskey and Fire Cannon: sprays enemy with whiskey then ignites, causing them to incinerate
Pocket Factory: drops a small factory near enemy which produces tiny crawling mechanical bombs. these bombs crawl onto ILIs enemies and explode them

ILI weakness:
zombie man: ILI receives damage from any kind of healing

ILI favored sexual position:
The crouching soldier. ILI enjoys using this position on ESFps

ILI sworn enemy:
ENFj: These manipulators will enslave ILI using the power of speechcraft

ILI pistol:
ILI packs a desert eagle pistol at all times

ILI religious touch:
ILI has the power to stir up a small following of religious zealots who worship him as a God

Zombie Wall:
ILI can summon a wall of zombies to pop up from the ground and block any progress through said wall for an extensive time

War Stomp:
ILI Slams his foot down in anger, causing surrounding enemies to be temporarily stunned and unable to react

Reincarnation:
If ILI is killed, ILI rises from the dead

well....yes. It's not over yet though. Let's see what the end up doing in the end. I hope the show will have an "end" like Lost.

Yes I adore this show. Hiro and Peter are tops. I also like Jessica and that sparky chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshal.
