    Default Why is the ethics symbol shaped like an L?

    ... and not the Logic symbol?

    That always bugged me.

    The Rational elements are based on squares. The "corner" of Ethics is actually a square (of Logic) with a piece missing, because apparently anyone with Ethics is retarded and a lesser human being, or something. I'm actually not sure what Augusta's reasoning was for making Ethics "Logic with a piece missing", but hopefully it wasn't *actually* what I stated

    Or maybe its the small logic square that is missing from the larger ethics block? Heh, no. But I think she meant that ethics is more intricately subjectively personalized, so there are technically more possibilities of which gateways could be switched open or closed in an judging sense, and the block isn't necessarily smaller than logic, especially ideologically. It just looks that way physically.

    I actually remade 2 of the symbols a few months ago:



    I turned the N element on its side to look like a play button symbolizing along the lines of "process," mentally, and the E element into a heart symbolizing basically what I think it should, elements of attraction, passion, desire, one's feelings, whatever you want to call it. I forgot the exact reason I did it. I also confirmed the other two as spot on, for whatever reason. I think S had to do with focus, or something. I wish I would have written it down. But I use the traditional ones anyhow; I'm sure there's a good reason for them.

    ethics are always messier and more 'artistic' like than logic, or sensing. They are like eternally incomplete. It makes sense, that way I think.

    logic is logic. there's no arguing with it. 2 plus 2 just equals 4. it's not OMG SHOULD WE LET FAGS GET MARRIED OR NOT?' sensing is also different. its just what you....sense. So it's a complete circle. and intuition as a triangle makes perfect sense cause that is what the charka in your head is like.

    my brain as an infp is almost innately 'argue-like' I'd be a good lawyer.

    The Intuition triangle is actually inscribed within the Sensing circle (sirkle?) because it gets less of a complete picture than does Sensing, but it comes to sharp points of insight.

    L for == ethics?

    Or maybe it's a test to see who's actually paying attention to the theory
