Your volume is fine, if anything, we can raise the volume on our own computers if we have a hard time hearing, I only had to give it a little boost. Responding to your question, I can understand that not everyone is going to life the format, I most likely made it how I thought would be best, and knowing that Socionics exists, that means there will be people who find my way of going about this the wrong way. So I wasn't offended, I like suggestions I'm not sure how effective just posting randomly would do... Only because you can already do that. A lot of people also don't like improv and feel uncomfortable with cameras without something to talk about, which is why I provided the questions. I want to reemphasize that no one has to read word-for-word the questions and go strictly by them if they don't want to, they are meant for inspiration.
I'd really like to hear your ideas Scarlett, because my natural guess is not much would come out of random posting, or if people would *want* to randomly post videos. But I definitely wouldn't want to leave out room for fun, I haven't really lead something like this before, so I don't know where I'm making mistakes. If you could give me a little more of a lead than suggesting people to post random videos of themselves, I'll definitely see how I can work it in. If anyone else has ideas to make this more enjoyable, don't be shy about commenting!

The end is nigh
Well, I was going to pace posting my videos, but then I found out how speed up my uploading process by about 10 times, so all are just going to get all my videos I recorded these after work, so I'm tired and a little loopy, don't mind my appearance please
Alright! I went through each of your videos (except for tutu's, but you didn't really have much to work with ) and created a question each to further develop out discussion. Remember, don't feel obligated to answer everything or questions that don't really inspire you. I'm putting these up to get your mind going, and then you share your thoughts with the rest of us. I'm still looking for suggestions on how to make this process better, so include that if you'd like I hope everyone is having fun!
TOPIC QUESTIONS ROUND 2
1. How would you describe the way you type? Do you think there should be a standardized way to type?
2. What difficulties make Socionics hard to teach? What is the best way you found to teach Socionics, or, what would make teaching Socionics easier?
3. Since learning Socionics, how has knowledge of Quadra values help you in your offline experiences?
4. What games/exercises/topics have you encountered or thought up that would be good for viewing information elements on video or at meet-ups?
5. How easily does Socionics' intertype relations work out for analyzing your relationships? What is your stance on the thought of people believing they can predict the dynamics of your relationships based just on your type?
6. Do you think types type differently? What specific traits common to your type help/hinder the typing process?
7. What are your thoughts about ascertaining someone's type based on "vibes" or general intuition? How easily do you assign value to qualitative and subjective data relevant to type/Socionics?
8. How flexible is Socionics, or how flexible should it be? When can we be too rigid, and when is flexibility inappropriate?
9. Boxes. Do you likes them?
Mine was a mixture of #1 & #6 since I answered a lot during my first response videos. Enjoy!

My attempt to answer the first set of questions. I didn't see the second set of questions or ScarlettLux's comment about these questions being incredibly boring, because after reviewing my video, it is boring as dirt. But, here they are anyaway lol

I guess I must be a weirdo, I find all of these videos interesting... Thanks for posting your's, you brought up some really good points, similar to the line of thinking my NeTi best friend takes when I talk about Socionics around her. It's fine that you answered the first few questions, I really just post them as inspiration to talk, I guess I come off more rigid than I realize...
So I'm going to assume that my natural preferences are taking over the format of this discussion, and obviously those with opposing preferences are turned off by how I'm going about it. I still haven't received any suggestions to make this a more holistic experience for everyone. And it matters to me!
These are my goals for this "project":
- To use video as a medium for forum interaction and as a better medium for typing.
- To eventually build a library of videos that have good examples of information elements and types, as a more "hands on" resource for learning.
- To have an open environment that allows forum members to feel comfortable to express themselves and their ideas, but also to constructive and progressive discussion.
If your ideas forward these three ideals, I will definitely be willing to adopt others' suggestions into how I'm already running things. Those are all I really want to keep established, I don't really care about "rules" if it seems like we won't need them. I put up the guidelines only because threads in this forum have a tendency to degrade into what I perceive as nonconstructive bickering. I wanted to make clear to everyone what I wanted to happen so I wouldn't get flamed for making future decisions that people might not like.
But seriously, I haven't gotten any suggestions, only messages (that I'm very thankful for ) about how they like the discussions going on so far. This will be my last message about it because I feel like a broken record asking and I don't want to continue to worry about what people are thinking For all of you who are interested and enjoy these discussions, definitely post more videos!
Thanks!
Oooo, I think I'll do one of these tomorrow after work when my roomie isn't here to sing in the background. Believe me when I say that you don't want to be subjected to that.

OK, late to the party, but here's my response to the first set of questions. Gah I think I look & sound so awkward (especially that I apparently talk out of only the right side of my face) but fuck it, life's too short to be so self-conscious:

I really liked your video, I didn't think you were awkward at all! I like hearing how different types approach Socionics, the way you described your difficulties with typing sounded similar to Isha's. It's interesting to start seeing the similarities between people that could be indicative of the type they share... So I'm glad you joined in!

Ok, I've struggled to upload this video and I don't know why it's being so frustrating. Youtube only wants 2:50 of it. Photobucket is taking 5:00. The whole thing is ~7 minutes long in reality, but I think you guys can just deal with 5 minutes of it until I can figure out what my problem is.

That was a good vid, iAnnAu. Doing second takes vastly improves the quality I've found.
The end is nigh
I fish for words and I feel like I'm coming across as an idiot. The second and third video I made were not redone however.
I'd expect such from a 7, Vero!

Oh yeah, and vimeo has HQ.
I think the only caveat is that they police copyright more closely than YouTube, which shouldn't be a problem in this situation.
How did I forget vimeo?
This will be my last attempt to save the Video Discussions, if interest doesn't rise again, I'm just going to let them drop off the first page and into the abyss. If you do enjoy these discussions, please show your support so I know these are worth up keeping and that I'm not hanging onto something that's not working out. Remember that you don't have to answer all these questions, just use them for inspiration, as well, you can go back and answer past questions or whatever sparks your mind.
TOPIC QUESTIONS ROUND 3
1. Is there an area of Socionics the forum should focus on building up more of an understanding of? Or does the general active population need an overall brush up on Socionics?
2. Do you think the Wikisocion is a good resource for learning Socionics? What about the Wikisocion could be improved?
3. What details need to be ironed out to make Socionics more testable? How do you imagine Socionics being tested?
4. Have any suggestions to improve the Video Discussions?
Is Socionics something every type should learn about?
What about learning Russian, tovarich?2. Do you think the Wikisocion is a good resource for learning Socionics? What about the Wikisocion could be improved?
Most tests are crap, but this one is somewhat accurate
