ESE 2Wing3 proberly will be the best host.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

I think you basically have the right idea. I thought of people I know in real life and their types, and they all pretty much act like that exactly.

So good job.

Contradictions are really starting to bug.

I want people not to notice that I haven't bothered to clean my apartment. I always fail.

heh, to be serious I have never hosted a party, I'm not sure what it would be like. Hosting a party seems like a lot of trouble and effort.

I had my graduation party last year. But my dad arranged and paid the whole thing, I was more in a role of guest/observer there. So:

ESTp host mainly aims to impress people with money and influence. Doesn't care about pleasantness, for example might argue with the guests. Likely to get drunk and make ass out of himself (not this time though ).

That one's totally ISTp!

i dont like being a host. If I am I can be domineering, I guess. Im usually pretty silly and fun though.

[Bardia]

I don't really like hosting parties. I try to not to put to much effort into it but I always seem to put a lot into it. And turn out always varies so its hard to prepare. Then I spend all my time trying to talk to everyone so I feel like I haven't really caught up with anyone.

I think I tend to want people to try things I like or something I think they might like. Like try a food or music or game.

I don't like hosting things, especially at my apartment. When I do find myself in that role I do my best to quietly move from person to person catching up with them and making sure that they have everything that they want.

Hmm, I was thinking this topic was going to be about what kind of parasites live on each of the 16 host types.

An LSE I used to live with … she was very casual about everything – she would be preparing the meal while chatting to the guests, and invite them to help her. She’d hardly tidy up at all before the guests arrived … so people’d feel more at home lol. I found her a bit annoying when I was cooking. :-p She’d come up and peer over my shoulder – “What ingredients do you have in there?” “Uh, um, well, a bit of … Arghhhh! Sorry, burning!” Well, I’m not very good when I’m rushed. :-p And I’m no good at multi-tasking and being cool and non-flustered at the same time. Or timing things so that they are all cooked to perfection simultaneously. This ESE I know though – she is just the epitome of the perfect host - imo anyway. It seems she utilizes the perfect mix of planning and spontaneity so that everything runs smoothly without being too stilted and organised-feeling. She caters to everyone’s individual needs, e.g. she knows I like helping her in the kitchen so she lets me, and tells other people to “Sit and eat.” :-p And if something flops, she laughs and turns it into something equally as good.

If I’m playing host, I’m so wound-up by the time the meal’s ready that I just quickly taste everything and breathe a sigh of relief, then take a nap at the table (no, not really) … or else I go “Ack, that’s pretty bad.” *giggle* “Don’t eat that!” But I gradually relax as things progress.

There’s this other EIE Russian lady I know – she’s an awesome cook … even considering everything is laced with coriander. :-p She pressures people to eat too much though. :-p “Seriously, I’m really full.” “But you are too thin!” *grabs me by the waist and pinches my cheek* “Here, you must eat this.” lol

My EIE sister and I used to have fun times putting on dinner parties. She would whirl around attempting these exotic dishes, generally making a huge mess ... then order our brothers and I to clean up. lol This one time, she insisted that she wanted to serve mango smoothies with bananas and everything in them when the guests walked in the door. I was like, "But they'll be full before they've even started eating!"
"You're just lazy!"
"They'd take a second to make. I just think you're going overboard. Trying to impress everyone. They're our relatives for godssakes."
"You're so stingy."
"Everyone's just going to be embarrassed by the sheer amount of food. They'll be gulping things down just to be polite."
"I hate you! You're always so negative! They're going to here any minute. Start chopping these up!"
"Stop ordering me around!" *walks away*
"Get back in here!" *starts blender up with the lid not on properly and stuff flies everywhere* "Come and help clean up - quickly!"
*lololol*
"I hate you!!"
"Oh, you have to admit it's pretty funny. There's mango on the ceiling!"
*practically crying* "Please help me!@#$%"
"Yeah, ok. Calm down."

We make a great team! :-p
