@AbsurdEnough please keep your name whatever you prefer so that I can keep laughing at the comedy of people typing you your self-type and then once they find out that you are someone they don't like they retype you.
Maybe she's just looking at the LSE under your name.
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.
So you all seem pretty smart..what did u do to find out your type?
Five years ago, I was talking about a 4-type personality system with my family. (Ways of sorting people have always interested me.) My older brother (Brilliand) walked through the room and mentioned something about socionics. I demanded he come explain it to me. I got pencil and paper and a hard surface (I think it was an orangish-brown book) and had him show me what he was talking about. He explained basic model A and told me the sixteen types. I typed myself, then the rest of my family. (For those who can't type themselves, you either don't understand the basic system or you don't know yourself.) I even got my 9-year-old brother's type right (though it wasn't until years later that I realized his subtype), and kids are usually hard to type since their personalities aren't fully developed.
With Brilliand's help, I set up some charts to print out about socionics. The model A of the 16 types (sorted by quadra), cognitive styles, clubs, and a couple other sections. I studied that for a couple of months, then I joined the forum, where people spoke the language I had just learned.
I am the only forum member to have found a romantic interest from the forum. I am also the only female LSE to be active for more than a month to the best of my knowledge.
Heh, fairy convo. Anyway, DA, you better stab William with you knitting kit - it's getting worse...
