Seriously, what is his type? If there's a consensus, I'd like to know it. If not, this is the perfect time to discuss.

I think it's difficult to type someone who is that much of a nut case.
ILE
7w8 so/sp
Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
He's ILE. I think the Ne + Ti is obvious. And ILE > LII because of his completely shit Fi.
But, no worries ILEs, he is an anomaly to your general coolness.
EII; E6(w5)
i am flakey
I think he is ILE but he kinda looks like an LII. He doesn't seem particularly healthy at the moment though, at the extreme risk of stating obvious, heh..
POS
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
I agree completely. I have no idea why anyone would think he's ILE when he's the single most irrational person I've ever encountered. Even when he tries to make some kind of logical structure (alchemical socionics) when anyone tries to deconstruct the logical foundations he gets completely flustered and angry. All that is there is essentially obvious, he's completely incapable of logical justification, of constructing an argument.

Actually as sad as it is, I think he could easily be some kind of Beta NF...like the most pathetic EIE to ever live...

He looks kind of like Dave from Pure Pwnage.

o_O lol that's funny, because Dave (Pro At Cooking guy, right?) seems like a clear LSI to me.

I'm pretty sure he's either Ti INTj or Ti ENTp.
The end is nigh

Unfortunately, I think he's an EXFp.
Like glam says, he uses personal sentiments to justify or 'argue' his actions/beliefs. He also relies on the emotional appeals of his own as well as others to prevent him from ever having to provide any real reasoning. He is also more than willing to try to force others into 'abiding by' his whacked sense of ethics.
Ethical people don't always agree with each other.
Fi people won't always agree with other Fi.
Fe won't always agree with Fe.
I actually think that if subtypes exist, then he could very well be an Fi subtype.
He enjoys a sense of power and control over others.
He seemed to perceive himself as a benevolent savior of the forum when he purchased it. And even attempted to encourage that perception. And often played that card when things didn't go the way he wanted them to go.
And, when things didn't go the way he wanted them to go AND the savior card wasn't working for him, then he played the victim card....poor persecuted him.
And if that didn't work, he played the power card.
Even when he talked about his "gayness" it wasn't so much about liking men...as it was liking men that play the feminine roles, have feminine appearances, and played the submissive role to him. This is particularly interesting considering some of his childhood experiences in which he felt dominated and controlled by an adult male. (he's mentioned this publicly on the forum, so it's not like i'm bringing up anything privately discussed)
The guy has a lot of issues to deal with...issues he's avoiding, and issues he's refusing to acknowledge. These kinds of things take their toll, and can make a person become more and more erratic. It's my belief that even his erraticness follows that of an EXFp under stress.
When he was less stressed, he seemed comfortable with Ne.
The more stressed he became, the more erratic he became, the more Se-ish behavior came out.
But still...his own personal Fi was there, guiding him all the while.
Sometimes people assume that if a person is dealing with theoretical stuff, that it's a sign of Ti. But the person of topic didn't show any signs of strong Ti. In fact, he'd avoid it as best as he could, even going on the attack and/or tossing in red herrings when pressured to provide actual Ti.
Yes, he has a system that he built and set up into a visual mapping. But that doesn't mean that he utilized Ti to get that mapping. It's my belief that he more likely used his Ne+Fi to get the original connections he made, and then worked hard on putting it into a more Si+Te format. And because of this, that made it even more difficult for him to accept Ti criticisms and/or to provide any kind of actual Ti connections.
So, basically, as much as I really....REALLY..don't like the guy, I still think he's NeFi who was really fucked up as a child, and has a ways to go to overcome it.
(I admit that there is a part of me that sees him as a possible SeFi or FiSe, but that's when I know that my biases are showing through and I have to remind myself that the only time he showed Se was when stressed out. And while he became stressed out more and more easily...he hadn't always been so. When calm, he showed Delta values over alpha/gamma. And even when playing the savior/victim cards, it was usually done in a stressed out Deltan EP way.)

I still think he's IEE, as much as I don't want to claim him. That's mainly from before he went 100% nuts. He was only about 75% back in those days and therefore probably a bit easier to type.
I could be convinced otherwise. But he's a nutcase and that clouds everything else.

Eh, guess how often I encounter Alpha-NT's being that way, when they failure is factual understanding opposed to being logically sound. McNewb's theories are logically sound, that's why he's so convinced about them. They just don't make any sense when applied to reality.
Ti-PoLR, wouldn't even bother to try to construct a theory like that. They would consider it to be the lamest and the most boring thing ever to even try to do. And then post it in public so everyone can publicly critize the persons PoLR, and vehemently continue doing it, even after all the attacks at their PoLR? Definetly not Ti-PoLR.

I'm sure I can arrange something.
Involving fluffy handcuffs.
...what? Am I not allowed to use Ne?
I'd say Reuben McNew is an ENTp
ILE "Searcher"
Socionics: ENTp
DCNH: Dominant --> perhaps Normalizing
Enneagram: 7w6 "Enthusiast"
MBTI: ENTJ "Field Marshall" or ENTP "Inventor"
Astrological sign: Aquarius

I think it's obvious NcMewto is Ne.
However, I've always had this perception of Delta NFs as saintly; essentially 'good' people. With MN's bastard coward tactics, I just don't think it possible that he is an EII or IEE.
This is basically the only reason I'm in agreement with Alpha NT. Also, I think his social skills are bit too shit for him to be Delta NF.
does anyone else feel like it's a bit fucked to be doing a "type Mcnew" thread where we all talk about how disturbed and unhealthy he is right after he gets banned from the forum he used to run and can't in any way respond to what's being said? probably just me, the person who HAS to save drowning bugs from the pool... ugh. I know if he could say something, it would most likely be his normal dog and pony show shit, but still... there's just something about this that makes me feel kind of sick and bummed out.
(not that I'm any sort of saint mind you)
