Polarity test

[Hugo]

Below are 2 polarities. Each one has a strong and weak quality. Which polarity contains your strongest and weakest quality. Also which one is your strongest quality within the polarity you selected.

POLARITY ONE:

Generating idea----------------Boldness


POLARITY TWO:

Efficiency----------------------- Enthusiasm


Also, in the polarity you didn't choose, which quality makes you feel relaxed if that quality is possessed by a person you hang around with.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POLARITY TWO: Budgeting----------------------- Enthusiasm

INFp, me.

[Kim]

Works for me.

Great at generating ideas, horrible at following through...

[Waddlesworth]

that's a pretty cool one.

[Jimbean]

These things never work for me

I'm a budgeting ENTp

[Cone]

Really? I'm a generative INTp.

Although I prefer to call myself an "organizer of ideas". Maybe that's what is meant by budgeting?

[Jimbean]

it seems like that there is a big difference between and ; and and , but not between and , and and

[Cone]

It must be the deep, dark secret of Socionics. Or else someone has their type wrong.

[Jimbean]

Well, let’s see: I can come up with an idea on how best to work out a budget (organizing), I'm restrictive with my resources and I try to leverage resources (i.e. time) to produce as much as possible. I'm just guessing, but seems to push for maxium potential while can judge what it might be.

Perhaps, but I don't think budgeting is really an idea you can come up with, but rather an orientation in thinking. I think Ne is about what you said, maximizing potential, but it also has an element of action, i.e. it seeks to maximize potential by producing and revising (and that's what you basically said.) Ni also seeks to maximize potential, but in a way that delays reaction, i.e. by reflecting and revising. It's careful and very doubtful.

[XcaliburGirl]

Semantics will always get in the way.

[science as magic]

damn those semantics! we should put them on the moon with the lunatics

knows how to allocate resources for undertaking projects, as well as coming up with ideas and plans. It could also be intellectual, in that it is spatial. It connects ideas and fits them in to a model, it’s like fitting pieces of a puzzle, one at a time until the whole concept could be used to leverage yet even more potential.

is not necessarily action oriented

[Cone]

Right, Ne is actually "delayed action".

[Jimbean]

pushes for maximum potential in thought, but not in action. When the user of this function sees the potentail value in something (a process in which I cannot describe right now), it motivates the self to seek that value. also sees alternatives, I think that is because it preceives information before making a judgement, but the preception is not necessarily concrete.

[Hugo]

Should I replace the word "budgeting" with something else?

Somehow it seems out of place. Perhaps "economical".

[Cone]

"Economical" might work. I would have chosen that if it was up there.

[Hugo]

POLARITY ONE:

Generating idea----------------Doubtlessness


POLARITY TWO:

Economical----------------------- Enthusiasm

[false]

POLARITY ONE:

Generating idea----------------Doubtlessness


POLARITY TWO:

Economical----------------------- Enthusiasm

Economical: Te types
Enthusiasm: Fe types
Ideas: Ne types
Doubtlessness: Se types

Nothing new here. Something similiar:
Ne types, Ni types, Se types and Si types (sexualities)
or
Te types, Ti types, Fi types and Fe types.

Te, Fe, Ne, Se together - hmm....

[Jimbean]

I am almost certain that I am an ENTp, but every time I take tests that work for everybody else, the test does not work for me. I always test as ENTj, on rmcnew's test, on almost every one of Hugo's tests including this one, and usually on the socionics type assistant.

Is it possible that person can have behaviors that is not characteristic of one’s type, and if so, still be honest with oneself?

What are the link to your results? We can go over them and see ...

[Hugo]

Test edited.

[Heimdallr]

You forgot to edit the second part of the test. It still says "budgeting".

[Hugo]

Thanks. I've sorted it out.

[Heimdallr]

Now that you edited the test, I find the second pair of words much more appealing actually budgeting just sounds about as nice as being eaten by a bunch of pirahnas. Before I chose generating an idea without thinking about the rest. I will still do the same thing but it is closer. This might make it more appealing for the INTp:s and such to identify with it.

INTj BTW.

[Hugo]

Edited again.
