OK, so I've read Oldham's book, but I tried to unbias myself by clearing my conscious of what type the question is looking for and clicking my mouse around to keep my unconscious busy....

I have never really like these personality tests, too many difficult questions and all too much wild guessing. I would say leisurely type is not all wrong either, I really do not need much to enjoy my life.

Where Are The Discussions On Oldham?
I just realized that this site is suppose to be Oldham related also, but I only see Socionics.
If you want to discuss Oldham, make a thread on it. Simple, eh?
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...

Which do you best identify with?

I'm "solitary".
But if there were an "extreme lazy" oldham style, I would have definitely chosen that one.
So "leisure" seems nice too.
Inventive and Leisurely.

Conscientious and Idiosyncratic are my top two, more so the former. They're both bad fits though. And of course I can relate to parts of other descriptions as well.

Joy, I apologise. I just made a thread which brings to attention what you said in one line in that thread, and which takes me a whole thread to explain.Originally Posted by Joy
I also explained that in Oldham's theory, we're all a little bit of everything. Only unbalanced, unhealthy individuals relate much more strongly to one than the rest. It's not possible to just pick one.Joy, I apologise. I just made a thread which brings to attention what you said in one line in that thread, and which takes me a whole thread to explain.
One the other hand, according to the classic Socionics theory, each of us only has one type, no matter how healthy or unhealthy.
The idea that each Oldham type should correlate to a Socionics type (and vice versa) ignores this. In order to make even somewhat accurate correlations between the theories, it is necessary to correlate each Socionics type to several possible/probable Oldham types. See example of these types of correlations below.
i said i would take a look at those because i don't like some of the correlations you've made (especially with some of the different emphases).
i never did. i probably won't. but know that i, as of now, say that it's something i am thinking about doing (for the next three minutes, anyway).

Vigilant and Adventurous.
IEI - the nasty kind...
I'm inclined for artistic, love creating things, dramatic, love doing that for a joke, and sensitive cuz of my dislike forand conflict.

Oldham descriptions
Hi All,
I was looking for the Oldham description pages that this site used to have earlier. Could someone tell me where I can get that information?

I moved this thread because it belongs in the Other Typologies section, seeing as it is not Socionics related.

The interesting thing for that test for me is how broadly my results can vary based on my current mood and stuff happening in my life.

lolwut.
These two fit best:
Idiosyncratic
Code: IDI
Disorder: Schizotypal
Enneagram: 5w4, 4w5
Variant: Sexual
Myers-Briggs: INTJ, INTP
Function: Introverted Intuition
Description: Idiosyncratic men and women are not like anyone else. They are dreamers, seekrs of the spirit, visionaries, mystics. They march to a distinctive beat, different from the conventional rhythms that most people follow. They are true originals and often they stand out, sometimes as eccentrics, sometimes as geniuses.
Inner life. Idiosyncratic individuals are tuned in to and sustained by their own feelings and belief systems, whether or not others accept or understand their particular worldview or approach to life.
Own world. They are self-directed and independent, requiring few close relationships.
Own thing. Oblivious to convention, Idiosyncratic individuals create interesting, unusual, often eccentric lifestyles.
Expanded reality. Open to anything, they are interested in the occult, the extrasensory, and the supernatural.
Metaphysics. They are drawn to abstract and speculative thinking.
Outward view. Though they are inner-directed and follow their own hearts and minds, Idiosyncratic men and women are keen observers of others, particularly sensitive to how other people react to them.
Inventive
Code: INV
Disorder: Compensatory Narcissistic (not a personality disorder in DSM-IV)
Enneagram: 3w4, 4w3
Variant: Social
Myers-Briggs: ENFP, ENTP
Function: Extraverted Intuition
The following description was written by Dave Kelly. A bibliography can be found here.
Description: The following ten traits and characteristics are typical of the Inventive personality type.
Idealized self-image. Individuals of the Inventive type develop highly idealized images of themselves with which they identify and which they love. The person is his idealized self and seems to adore it (Glad, 494).
Subdued demeanor. Persons of the Inventive type are energetic, but phlegmatic in temperament. "They can be quiet, rather private, subdued in demeanor, and have artistic interests and aesthetic sensibilities (Riso, 102)."
Attention. Individuals of the Inventive type have a tendency to behave in such a way as to attract attention. "They can be subtle show-offs, but show-offs nonetheless (Riso, 103)."
Openness to culture. The Inventive person has unusual thought processes, values intellectual matters, and judges in unconventional terms. He or she is aesthetically reactive and has a wide range of interests (McCrae and John).
Intelligence. "Intelligence will typically be emphasized in their self-images and social dealings." They put great stock in their ideas and demand that others do likewise (Riso, 103).
Competence. The faith of those of the Inventive type is "in their ability to improvise something, and they display an unusual talent for rising to the expediency of a situation (Keirsey, 184)." Their focus is on competent excellence in performance.
Innovation. The Inventive type maintains an independent view and is "the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that is the way things always have been done (Keirsey, 183)." They are inventors and innovators.
Cleverness. They are mentally bright and quick-witted. For those of the Inventive type "to be taken in, to be manipulated by another, is humiliating; this offends their joy in being masters of the art of oneupmanship (Keirsey, 185)."
Status. They are highly competitive in pursuit of success and prestige. They want very much to be outstanding in some way (Riso, 103), to gain recognition, even fame and glory.
Self-consciousness Persons of the Inventive type look to others for approval (Reich, 47). They are very conscious of how others treat them (Riso, 103) and highly sensitive to criticism (Oldham, 89) and negative evaluation.
