    No, I just answered the survey truthfully. I really don't care what the point of the survey is or was. I just did what I wanted to....

    That escalated quickly.

    What if its 50/50 across the uncertainty error margin

    The truth is, I've never thought you were smart either, so we're on even ground. I think you're gross and cheesy, and tacky.

    So I suppose you, or whomever is taking the poll, knows what percentage your/their preference is, if it's 51% one way or the other?

    To me, neither is a good fit, and that was the point of my original post, which apparently, you missed. I'm a combination of the two. I generally don't fit into neat, simple little boxes, if you haven't noticed.

    I think the OP is trying to convey a meaning, but missing at description. At the same time, I think he's possibly the only one here who fits perfectly into one of them lol..... He's explained himself if you notice in his initial post.....

    I don't care. Honestly. Get your daily drama from someone else.

    So I suppose you, or whomever is taking the poll, knows what percentage your/their preference is, if it's 51% one way or the other?
    I just "estimate" it's like that right now. It's not unchanglable.

    No, we all got that point, very clearly.

    I'm a combination of the two. I generally don't fit into neat, simple little boxes, if you haven't noticed.
    Everyone is a combination of the two (hopefully!). This is just a survey not a final categorization of human beings?

    Or perhaps the survey is too polarizing or too simplistic? Or maybe even only applies to very simple people?

    For example, a poll on "How do you primarily eat food? For nutritional value or for taste?" Simpletons may have such black & white values for their food intake (and likely die early because of it), but health minded or more adult people take both into account with every food choice.

    Are you trolling? Everyone here knows it's simplistic. All polls are, especially dichotomous ones. It's the point to choose one of both options, despite the mixed impression you might have. If you answer with something like "a bit of 1, a bit of 2" there wouldn't be any reason to make a poll. It's about priorities.

    I think you missed the point.

    Then based on that logic there was no point in making the poll, hence you are illogical for participating in the poll.

    Meanwhile away from la la land, no one is holding a gun to our heads I hope if someone decides not to choose either/or.

    Nah, the illogical(?) bit would have to go the thread maker first and foremost and only then to participants in it, especially the ones who are ambivalent and can't make up their mind between an apple and carrot.

    Simply put it is judicious/decisive dichotomy Park plays with here. I can be wrong though - it's still a Socionics forum last time I checked so...

    But like I said, I can be totally wrong.

    I would pick "with a fork."

    Following orders isn't an excuse, unless we want to blame Reinin not threadmaker (blaming Reinin for his crappy dichotomies is not a bad idea). Well spotted though even if you are wrong.

    I thought most people follow orders in their line of job, not unless they're self-employed and acting as a sole trader.

    Yes. That's the point of such a survey.

    No. You can always reply with an approximated preference.

    For example, a poll on "How do you primarily eat food? For nutritional value or for taste?" Simpletons may have such black & white values for their food intake (and likely die early because of it), but health minded or more adult people take both into account with every food choice.
