What are the stereotypes about your type that are true in relation to you?
I'm boss at selling things. Literally. I could sell lava to Eskimos.

Easy Day
I'm good at taking thing apart and not being able to put them back together again.
I like to watch tv, eat bacon cheeseburgers and lay around doing next to nothing as much as I can.
ILE
7w8 so/sp
Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
can I smoke your cock Vero?
I'm a little bit obsessed with death (tho not many people know this). Er, maybe that's more a stereotype of enneagram 4? I dunno.
IEI-Fe 4w3
I get what I want.
I've been called weird so many times it makes even the INTjs cry. Half the people I know are afraid to go out in public with me.
Maybe that's not a stereotypical ILI trait, but it's stereotypical of me.
Binary or dichotomous systems, although regulated by a principle, are among the most artificial arrangements that have ever been invented. -- William Swainson, A Treatise on the Geography and Classification of Animals (1835)
Nerdy, socially awkward, unaware of my surroundings, head in the clouds, aloof, intelligent, boring
LII-Ne with strong EII tendencies, 6w7-9w1-3w4 so/sp/sx, INxP
I let other people do the talking and observation, and I just edit what they say. Sometimes I just go along with what they say to see if it poses any merit. I'm also not good at paying attention, multitasking, etc. so that all translates to socially awkward. And it's not necessarily "awkward" as much as it is incomprehensible and lacking in verbally external thought.
What I'm saying isn't necessarily a stereotype anyway. I'm just trying to see if anyone else agrees so that it may become one. I don't think I'm always socially incomprehensible, for instance around family, good friends, quadra members, I am known to display good humor and input unexpected jokes. I have even been known to ramble once in a while, to where I instantly shut up when given facial cues, but I usually am quite mute. Ah, enough about me.
Lazy and I don't like people.
You look extremely similar to an LII ex I once had. Interesting. Needless to say, that relationship was a total farce
To the topic at hand -- I'm the most idealistic, romantic son of a gun you'll ever meet. Writes poetry. Daydreams. Listens to 'indie'/hipster music. Likes having pseudo-philosophical conversations at night, under the stars. All that bs.
- I'm swell at thinking of possibilities
- I am suck-fail at telling how people feel about eachother
- I'm messy, lazy, need someone to take care of my surroundings
- I'm hilarious
- I fit the role of clowny geek.
- I'm perverted (kinda, not in some dark way though)
- I'm a spaz
- I often argue just to argue
- If someone tells me there is only one way to do something, I will die trying to find another way to do it.
The end is nigh
Now I will have to prove you wrong, great!
See what you did?
The end is nigh
I like spending time in cemeteries, because they're beautiful and peaceful.
Wait.
I think I'm doing this wrong.

FINALLY! I start this thread with the sole propose of getting some one to ask that. now *cracks knuckles* So glad you asked.
Being as witty and clever as i am, I've decided that i am indeed better than the old adage "Selling ice to Eskimos" implies and thusly I needed a new old adage. It took me a bit to come up with something that would be harder than selling ice to Eskimos, but in the end. I decided that selling Lava to Eskimos would be much harder. Here are the pro's and con's of each.
ICE-pro
Used for building materials, could actually sell an Eskimo a New house.
When melted creates water, an essential life necessity.
ICE-con
It's everywhere!
Lava-pro
Could possibly be used to build a new type of house when it solidifies (the house however would be very porous and I think be less insulated than a Igloo)
Lava-con
MELTS THEIR HOMES!
MELTS THEM
SMELLS LIKE SULFUR (Rotten Eggs)
Now looking at that list I'm sure that you have realized that selling Lava to Eskimos would be much harder. I however, could do it. And that's why i say i could sell Lava to Eskimos, because Selling Ice to them would be far to easy for some one of my caliber. *brushes dirt off his shoulder*
Easy Day
I'm good at organizing and sometimes do it for fun.
I love lists.
I'm a grammar nut.
I rather enjoy the constant use of needless large words.
I make too much of little things if they appeal to my unusual sense of humor.
I plan out everything before I do it (including how to phrase what I'm typing).
I have trouble being sympathetic.
I'm somewhat a control freak.
I kept retyping "freak" different ways until I found a way that looked correct.
Me too.
I can angry enough to make a volcano look calm

- I am able to finish off anyone's sentence before he/she completes them (Bad habit, I know.)
- I enjoy chilling out and listening to jazz, rock and instrumental music.
- I am good at coming up with new ideas, but bad in following through.
- I dislike doing housework and tend to delay doing it, hoping that someone will take charge of it. This applies to all unpleasant stimuli.
- In a work situation, I am prone to overwork at times. =(
- I may not be very intellectual (eg. good in theoretical subjects), but I am observant and astute in finding trends and patterns.
- My career is related to the field of Human Resource.
- I am always on a lookout for something better to reach my potential, but I tend to hesitate in taking action and prefer to think before I leap just in case I made the wrong judgement.
I can master any technical or scientific field I make a point of mastering, faster than almost anyone else I know.
Sometimes, I join (or start to work for) companies not knowing much of what they do.
In 6 months, I will be listened to by most of their experienced people.
In 2 years, I leave them all in the dust, sort of as I make things up as I go along.

Well, *I* meant that in the bullet directly above that, you asserted that you are a grammar nut, and then went straight on to make an error in grammar.
I was jus' kickin' up dust anyway.:wink: Well, since my attempt to be a dick kinda bombed, let's actually make a list of my own.
* Have worked on cars. When I was married, I would change the oil in both cars. And I actually had a short-lived job at an oil-change center.
* Am fairly sexually promiscuous. Haven't ever cheated on anyone, but let's just say I don't bother to count how many partners I've had through the years, because if I come up with a number, doubtlessly a few hours later I'll be like "Steve! Did I count Steve? Jeez, I haven't seen that dude in years, wonder how he's doing?"
* Have a tendency to join and leave a group while skipping all fanfare. A few friends have called me out on this through the years, and I've learned to at least say bye so they don't freak out when I'm suddenly missing ...
* Drive like a crafty bastard. I've toned myself down a lot since I was a teen, and I still tend to be one of the fastest cars on the road. I also don't back down to dipshits; just the other day some car behind me honked, and since I felt I was in the right I honked right back at 'im. And the last time Elro and I hung out, we went for a drive down some backroads of Knoxville, and I kinda scared him by how fast I would go around curves. Didn't mean to, Elro!
* Am the laziest person I know who still gets more done than the next three folks. Apparently my tendency to get shit out of the way so I can relax makes tedious and/or challenging tasks look effortless. What can I say, smoking pot and napping are fucking important!
