I will type you

[Darkworker]

Anyone who is uncertain of their type lacks self-awareness and understanding.

"What's my type?"
"Can you type me?"
"Type me please."
"Type My Cats!"
"I done test 5 times"

I notice what all these pitiful statements have in common, that is: Looking outward.
To know yourself, you gotta look inward. Think for yourself. Take responsibility, be willing to honestly look at yourself. That's where self-awareness is, inward!

And as I promised in the title name, I type you as ignorant, unaware, irresponsible, but intelligent and capable human being. That's why I suggest you to do this:
Study, Understand, Reflect, KNOW.

[ashlesha]

wait so are you going to type people or not?

No, that was sarcasm.

Extroverts don't do that, bro.

[Darkworker]

I'm sorry if anyone finds this irritating or offensive. My way of expressing myself is horrible and I'm working on this.
You might perceive this as attacking or even hateful. This is not my intention.

Feel free to borrow some of my posts until you get the hang of lighthearted and uplifting dialogue.

It's not enough to know oneself in order to know ones type. One has to study other people also so that one gets some kind of feeling or concept of what type is. Then one can go back to oneself.

You have to look both outward and inward.

[Darkworker]

Extroverts don't do that, bro.

I believe they are capable of self-awareness as much as introverts are. It might manifest differently though. In my mind "looking inward" and "looking at yourself" are synonyms. Extraverts might just have a different way of looking at themselves, but I believe they are capable of self-reflection and self-awareness as much as introverts are. I wish to believe it's a fair game.

I actually liked it. Most people probably click it and think "Yay, storytime again. About me." But then there's you telling openly what it's actually like to use the opinion of near-strangers for somthing that intimate and complex as personality analysis. Nice reality check.

but I believe they are capable of self-reflection and self-awareness as much as introverts are.

Sure, I was joking.

[willekeurig]

Thanks for the advice. I never thought of this, but now that I know all the answers really are inside me I finally found out my cat's type is ILE.

[Kalinoche buenanoche]

you don't sound like a darkworker,darkworker

[ashlesha]

it wasn't offensive, just preachy and boring.

[Darkworker]

Why? I thought the post is evil enough.

I agree with you.

I don't think most people are that naive. Asking others for help doesn't mean they aren't aware of the limitations of online communication or that they can't judge whether what someone says about them makes sense or not. They might not know much about functions/IEs/types/younameit, and having other people analyse you and answer your questions can provide great help in learning about them. Plus people tend to be self-interested and it helps learning if you can somehow connect the things you're learning about to yourself and your own life. Putting much time and effort in reading tons of articles and descriptions alone about some random non-scientific personality theory that might not even work isn't usually very motivating.

[willekeurig]

No, you just had indigestion. So much for looking inwards.

Yes, and my post is so stupid.
People are different, have different learning styles and motivations. Some just want to casually study socionics, learn their type and spend all their time socializing on the forum. Some are serious about it, are interested in self-discovery, deep understanding, self-development, and they occasionally they get in a state of exalted arrogance and create thread "I will type you."

[willekeurig]

Yes, that is my personal opinion.

Yet you typed all the people that ask others for help as "ignorant, unaware and irresponsible" for not using your preferred methods.

In the OP you were talking about how people make threads to get others to type them, not about people who make threads to type others. I don't see how people spending time differently on the forum is relevant to the topic.

[JWC3]

What those statements also have in common is a general trend toward ignorance in the individual expressing them.

We are all noobs once and admonishing others for this perceived slight is ill advised.

[Darkworker]

I am sad because you failed to understand me.

I'm sorry, didn't intend to.

I didn't see them being admonished for being a noob. Maybe you shouldn't read between the lines so much.

Are we being serious right now? This forum doesn't have a golf clap emoticon? I guess I'll just have to settle for; touche.

well you want to get up on some kind of speil about whats right for everyone, be nice to the noobs guys! ignoring any actual personal implications or the fact that people might actually be bothered by him coming in and presumptuously taking aim at people. not v. gamma.

[Absurd]

You heard that, korpsey? Be nice to people and lick them when they come in.

[Ryan]

inb4 op makes a "type me" thread

[Aquagraph]

If the theory itself is as steady as polonium, it is unreasonable to assume any firm typings.

I wouldn't call it being nice so much as advocating a progressive attitude.

[Absurd]

I thought people are unstable as polonium, not the theory, that is, the moment one actually starts radiating no theory is going to keep you stable if you're already are unstable.

That coming from a Hitta-looking guy sure made crap. Why don't tell your alleged identical, Darkworker, how socionics actually ought to be done - all I see right now and did see before was you and now him, screeching and scratching the surface with your claws how it supposedly wrong, and the same time compiling lists of your duals.

[Beautiful sky]

wait so are you going to type people or not?

LOL

I saw a very lovely ESI on the train today. She was with her friend and they were speaking French and speaking about two adorable twins within their vicinity.

I agree here. In my opinion everybody is capable of typing himself and it's not that hard.
