thank god
Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

I'm sorry
I have this thing with having to be strong and clever and unusual... I really liked being ENTp. *sighs*

Dammit, people, when will you stop being slaves to type descriptions written by random people who perhaps know one or two members of said type and who are probably Ts and have a skewed perception of F-types like most of you T-types here? One type is not stronger than the other (and if I wanted to go by the stereotypes, ENTps aren't even said to be strong, uhm). One type is not more special, one type is not smarter (I cannot believe even that is still floating around), one type is not prettier, etc.
I think this CONSTANT bullshit is really what has been making me so irritable around these quarters lately....

Kim, I see your point. At the same time, people sometimes treat you as if you were a clichée [insert type here]. Heck, sometimes we even treat ourselves like that. I've observed that folks who declared themselves to be another type suddenly started to act different, as if saying "I'm an xNTx" frees them to actually develop theories, and saying "I'm ENFp" frees your whackiness, etc. So, in that context, why not be another type for a while? Perhaps it's about saying yes to one's inner ENTPity. You're ENTP for a while, take a deep breath, "wow, that felt good!" and then snuggle up into being an ISFP again. (Not that ISFPs are per definitionem snuggly. I meant "snuggle up" in the sense of "home sweet home").
I was on the slippery slope towards saying ENTPness. Note how I slammed my brakes and skidded to a halt just in time.

I think Cat pretty much nailed it, but I felt like it had to be said another way.
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...

yeah so I'm ENTp again
no, not really

fine, I'll just be typeless again
I think it's possible to explore different type modes; different configurations of functions aren't as inaccessible as Model A would make it seem. So, now in your ENTp life, tell us some wild ENTp ideas.

I can identify with that; I feel the same way. What I meant though wasn't exploring other type models (i.e., other theories) but exploring other type modes (i.e., going into various states of mind where you're similar to a different type, even if you're not aware of it).I can't explore other type models... because I can't afford so much time or attention to socionics.

It's impossible to change our information metabolism type. It's build in our brains!!! A type is just a vague description of information processing components the human brain has and how they work. Now, I don't know and I can't say if it's true or not and in what terms it's so or not so, but if something is a part of you physicaly, then it can't change unless you cut it or remove it from your body. If sociotypes describe information metabolism in a human brain, and if a type relates to exact parts of the brain, then it's possible to change the type by removing one of these parts (from your brain by cutting it out).
For example, several parts of the brain process "smell data", so if you remove one of these parts, your information metabolism changes from ISTP to ENFJ, for example. PPP
What a stupid idea.

LOL! No. Imaging is a type of social modeling. When you see the word imaging in social sceince then it is referring to what Im talking about.... not the latest function on your digicam lol.Originally Posted by schrödinger's cat
It is already psychologically and biologically proven that the brain IS plastic. It changes throughout time and does not always hit a set pattern. This is the flaw of any theory that uses dualism as it's base. Dualism fails to recognize time. It is far too absolute to recognize exterior data.Originally Posted by drake
