I do this subconciously because I like to try to determine how much guts the person has who I'm looking at. If they don't even meet my gaze in the slightest, I usually consider them a pussy and move on. Same thing goes for people who see this and immediately look away. The best thing is when the person in question happens to be another ESTp, because they'll usually take up the challenge and fire a long-ass stare right back at you. I've noticed that other Betas (especially ISTjs) tend to go along with it, and Alphas/Deltas do this a lot less.
The thing that made me think of this was this ESTp :Ti: subtype guy at school who did that to me for like ten seconds this morning. I was like "lolol" and I stared right back at him to see if he'd back off, but he didn't! So I've met a worthy challenge, and I'm going to try to do this again tomorrow. Fun shit. :lol:
Any experiences on this type of thing?
