    You people are tools. It's called a fucking typo; it doesn't make her a self-contradicting twit, like you, Ezra.
    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...

    It's a theory based on the evidence that he replaced much of his Macedonian high command with Persians, his huge admiration for Persia, and a grand ceremony that took place whereby he oversaw the marriage of hundreds of Macedonians to Persian women exclusively.

    Go fuck yourself. I am far from self-contradicting.

    That actually sounds like he is just trying to integrate the Persians into the Greek society as a means of controlling his empire, but not anything based upon the Greeks being some sort of supreme race.

    Leave it to Diana, the injured.

    Oh shit, I made a typo on a pop-psychology forum. I should hang myself now.

    Default Alexander

    Alexander the Great.
    The film and the man.
    The film by Oliver Stone, Alexander played by Colin Farrell. (yes i'm aware of one typing from a certain x forum)

    The film pretty much sucked but I felt like he did sort of awake a feeling of greatness, of awe and glory not many films these days can convey.
    (I think it was he got the mindset of the ancient greeks pretty well weaved into the film, the tragedy of mans existence etc)

    I've seen some typings of the real Alexander that put him as SEE instead of SLE. Reinin seems to think so, anyway, because Alexander kept track of the names and personal preferences of his hundreds of officers memorized. I don't think that argument points away from an exceptional SLE, personally.

    In the film, his mother was EIE, clear as day, ambitious-manipulative subtype. Though maybe a little more controlled because Jolie is some logical type. Aristotle seemed LII and Parmenion seemed LSI from what I recall (and I don't remember that much). The Babylonian homosexual harem slave gave me an IEI vibe.

    SLE or SEE. Not altogether sure which.
    What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).

    For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

    Is being overly portentous a sign of SEE? What about looking like you need to take a shit whenever your men question your authority and judgment?

    The Alexander in the movie is SLE.
