test my Ti

Please? Just start throwing stuff at me.

Thanks.

What sort of stuff?

[pianosinger]

whatever people think would be a good test of Ti...

Alright, listen up: Imagine a small lake in which you put some extremely fast-growing seaweed. You put in 1 unit of seaweed and it doubles it's number every day. After 10 days, the seaweed covers the whole sea bed. Now, how many days would it take to cover up the sea bed if you put in 2 units of seaweed at the beginning instead of just 1?

PS: Don't smoke the seaweed, it won't help you to find the answer.

[Aiss]

^ a day less.

pianosinger, how do you feel about socionics and typologies in general?

I've always found personality typologies to be fascinating. If there weren't already some good typology systems out there, I might have been tempted to try creating my own at some point...though thankfully, I don't have to go to all that trouble since the hard work's already been done for me.

sometime during the ninth day, the pond will be full... ?

okay, so I edited my answer (originally said 8-9 days), but I did so before I saw Aiss's post...

[Pa3s]

^ a day less.

How can you dare to answer questions which aren't adressed to you? Ahh, I'm so not happy about this.

somewhere between 8 and 9 days...that is, sometime during the eighth day... ?

The answer is 9 days, as it was said above. It's easy because with 2 units of seaweed, you just got the situation like it would have been at day 2 if you'd insert 1 unit.

5. Should be obvious.

see, you obviously didn't even bother to do the math...

lol any type is capable of solving word problems

Anywho
There is no such thing as truth. All knowledge is subjective.

[pianosinger]

lol any type is capable of solving word problems

yes, but it's how one goes about solving it that matters...I had to labor with the math, but there was a much quicker way to solve the answer that I did not see...also, there's Aleksei's way, which was to not spend any time at all thinking about it, and just spouting off the first (wrong) answer that came to mind.

[Pa3s]

...but, I did it the hard way...

I told you not to smoke it...

lol any type is capable of solving word problems

I didn't say otherwise. :wink:

[Jarno]

whatever people think would be a good test of Ti...

there is none.

just comparison to other Ti types.

[Exodus]

there is none.

You're basically saying there is no objectivity in socionics. Out, heathen!
