That doesn't describe my behavior or motivations at all; I have no clue where you're coming from with that, tbh. It says nothing about jumping around or "moving on;" in fact it implies quite the opposite: the fact that I move around so much implies that I'm not deeply attached to much of anything, which is also more consistent with my overall life experience.

Yeah, but I don't think any 7's would attach themselves the way you do, regardless. Whether it's transient or not, you still do it. People like Ashton, Fabio and Allie seem too...insouciant...too detached from their experience (in a happy-go-lucky way) to even expend the energy necessary to attach themselves to anything.

I identify much more with a sort of inner discontent that I attempt to slake, whether it be with an idea, a relationship, a form of entertainment, a drug, etc.

And this could be related to any type - the 6's inner anxiety, the 4's inner feeling of worthlessness, etc. You seem to always find a way to bend the semantics to fit whatever type you have currently decided on. Seriously Gilly, why the fuck have you jumped from 7 to 6 to 3 to 4 and back to 7? This suggests either a vast misunderstanding of yourself or of the enneagram. You choose, but there's no evading the reality.

To be honest I just think you are a massive noob and should never try to tell me anything. You always wind up looking stupid.

Well, considering what I said above, I don't think you're in a position to say anything about anyone else's type, let alone your own when you get in these delusional phases. You're the only one who ends up looking stupid, whether you realize it or not.

This is a fair point of contention. However it relies upon exclusive criteria, which I see as an inferior method of typing; what matters is the best fit.

Why not compare me to some cp6s? Do you really see me as being like discojoe? Christopher Hitchens? Or, lol, House?

Or fours? I know we have our similarities, which I personally am willing to chalk up to comparable upbringings and Socionics types, but what do you see me as having in common with other fours, like starfall, glam, anielka, kam, christy, etc?

Also I think it's fair to say that, at least to my knowledge, I have more varied life experience and have faced a good deal more adversity and personal challenges in my 20 years than any of the people you mention as benchmark 7s have, which could lend to the obvious outward differences.

I think that both my flexible interpretation of semantics and my inability to accurately categorize what I experience subjectively is mostly due to weak Ti and an over-focus on Fe. The only truth that I see is that my subjective reality changes significantly over time, and I exhibit motivations and external characteristics of many types; the "dominant" mode is hard for me to isolate, but personally I think 7 works best.

It has nothing to do with anyone else's type. My falability in self-typing is due to my constantly changing self-perception; I think I have proven over time, at least to myself if not you, that my perceptions of other people are actually rather reliable. Was I not the first to pin both unefille and Mimosa Pudica as Beta NFs?

[Gilly]

And stop defending Allie. Unless you admit that she's a noob and can't fend for herself.

*sigh* 6s, wanting to defend and be defended...oh nicky....

[JRiddy]

Gilly, I don't much like you anymore. This air of superiority has the distinct odor of a thin pretense.

Riddy, I never liked you, and my indifference has grown from distaste since seeing how pretentious you can be, to outright dislike since you've been suckered into Model X bullshit. I guess I have an air of superiority sometimes, but if you want to call me pretentious, I can only laugh.

Then do something about it, Mr. ENFj.

[Gilly]

Then do something about it, Mr. ENFj.

What?

[Jarno]

I think Taurus and Scorpio is usually a 6
Males are mostly 2's
And Unicorns are absolutely the greatest 9's of all.
Ofcourse Unicorns are always ETFJ, unless they are older then 16.

Nick, stop defending me. And Gilly, you're nowhere near as flexible as you think you are. You're extremely attached to every typing you have. The only reason you move on is because you get shown how wrong you are.

Gilly's OFFICIAL Type Cycle

1. You pick a type. (Example: GillEIE)
2. You attach and argue for it unrelentingly. (Example: My Case for EIE-Ni cp6w7)
3. Someone points out you are wrong. (Example: Peopl who think I'm ILE)
4. Fail. No type for Gilly? (Example: Gillytype)
5. All hope is lost. (Example: ILE is Me)
6. You pick a new type. (Example: Gilly IEI 4w3)

(Then back to Step 2 for you!)

*Note: These examples aren't necessarily from the same cycle, just of the specific steps. Nevertheless, so predictable!

[Gilly]

I never claimed to be flexible, so don't put words in my mouth. I don't see what this has to do with me having object attachment relations. Show me?

I choose something that works for me, I get disenchanted, I move on; you're just furthering the case for frustration relations.

Oh, and if you wanted to establish a pattern, you might want to start by actually giving a coherent example rather than cherry-picking threads and placing them out of sequence. Maybe you're right, but you sure don't know how to show it.

I tried. If you're trying not to see it, you won't.

Oh, and if you wanted to establish a pattern, you might want to start by actually giving a coherent example rather than cherry-picking threads and placing them out of sequence.

I believe I mentioned in my post that I was showing examples of each step, not necessarily one cycle. I'm not going through all of your 9587340t9842y09 posts to get them in chronological order, etc. I don't care that much.

Maybe you're right, but you sure don't know how to show it.

Sigh. I never do. Nor do I care enough to try.

[strrrng]

Frustration object relations is about searching for an ideal, and always becoming disenchanted with the present reality. How the fuck would this translate over into a socionics type? Was your past self-typing of INFp some attempt at fulfilling an ideal?

The reason that it demonstrates attachment object relations is because socionics types are not about future/past ideals, but rather, present realities. Being able to conclude on a type for yourself more or less produces a good, secure feeling, which is exactly what attachment types search for. The fact that it is typically transient does not detract from the motivations at all. It only demonstrates an internal sense of insecurity, lack of self-confidence in assessing things, and a strong emphasis on public approval and the opinions of others - all traits that are common in so 6's.

[Gilly]

Fair enough. On mention of those 4's, it made that typing very unlikely in my mind. As for the 6's, eh.

As I thought.

I doubt you would know, and I think it's presumptuous to make such assertions about people. And how would experiencing more/harder things make you seem less 7'ish? Because of the happiness thing?

That, too, but mostly I was trying to account for the obvious external differences between myself and the people you mentioned. And now that I think about it, yes, it is mostly because I am probably a bit more jaded than they are.

Your "flexible interpretations of semantics" are nothing more than subjective, ego-driven distortions which you use to justify whatever type you currently have latched onto. And your inability to accurately categorize subjective experience isn't weak Ti; I have no problem doing that. Seems to be more like lacking self-awareness or something.

Well, your Ti would be stronger than mine as an IEI. As for the rest, obviously you're entitled to your own interpretation.

I don't know about you being the first to "pin" them lol (not even sure on mimosa's type), but whatever.

Well, I was, as far as I know.

I would have responded the same, regardless of who it was.

Sure.

lol, even if my sole motivation was to defend her, it had nothing to do with being a 6. Nice skewing of semantics again, bud. That seems to be the only thing you've proven you can do consistently with types. I find it ironically humorous how you're attempting to project all the insecurities I obviously effectuated in my previous incessant comments about you being a 6, as if by doing so you are making me doubt my self-typing or "belittling" me - which is what you said I did to you lol. Not everyone else's self-concept is as precarious as yours, Gilly. And lol @ how you were the most consistent defender of my 4 typing in the past, rivaled only by Ashton, but now suddenly you're trying to call me a 6. It's all too transparent, Gilly. Go find someone else to indulge you in your self-loathing, emotionally-unstable games; you only look like a fool to me.

I didn't skew anything; I'm harassing you, and given that this is the longest part of your post, it obviously worked. Take a freaking chill pill. I don't think you're a 6, so you can sleep soundly.

I tried. If you're trying not to see it, you won't.

I see what you're trying to say, and the reality is that most of what object attachment relations entails does not apply to me. Superficially, yes, I "attach" myself to a type, but the reason and the process are both better explained by frustration relations.

You move on because you get disenchanted by a typing?

Yup. It's an identity thing. The reason I got into typology is because I was unsure of what behavioral traits were consistent in me, who I "really am," because I feel that I am different things to different people.

I believe I mentioned in my post that I was showing examples of each step, not necessarily one cycle. I'm not going through all of your 9587340t9842y09 posts to get them in chronological order, etc. I don't care that much.

Sigh. I never do. Nor do I care enough to try.

Ok, you don't care enough to be right. Fine by me.

I would have responded the same, regardless of who it was. You were using ad hominem to try and discredit her position, even though her points were valid. It was also another one of your pathetic attempts at inciting one of the emotional games you love to play, trying to drag someone down to your level.
