Bain is different... I don't know how natural he'd be; I may actually have an easier time getting close to someone than he would. But his is more intuitive: he's shown, often indirectly, some very fine understanding of character as well as forum dynamics. Not just because of this, I have a hard time seeing them as the same type. I'd type Bain EIE and total SEE if I had to guess: this I'd say simply from VI, but it checks fine with what little I've seen of them: as EIE, Bain would have the strongest Ne of the three of us, as the only rational type he'd be more reserved in that way, etcetera
I type both of them as LIEs.

If you are ILI then you may be appreciating their Fe role vs your Fe PoLR.

I have never seen @Bane showing the very fine understanding of character or of forum dynamics beyond what Ni creative is capable of. @oldwhiskey has a similar fine Ni understanding.


Thanks, because if it isn't a truism my argument falls apart



Yeah, I guess. Hinges on wording...creepy question. What kind of logic is this, that twisted around itself until it stopped making sense
Wording matters.


Don't have time right now, but remind me? I can probably think up some good examples in classic literature, at least from my country
OK.


I think it was just a perspectives thing? Like if you grow up in a place where nobody is rich and you don't have television, you don't desire wealth.. but then with the advent of globalization, people begin to desire... Want can be created, as in imposed, but it's never more than a void, a new yearning with no hopes of being sated: hence creating absence
I'm still thinking of logic as a deductive/inductive process and the third answer can't do any better than Least Illogical, but it's this thing, you're talking about something that never existed and the assertion you make is "welp I committed genocide" ..creating a dead species is like creating a void? (it made sense at the time)
I explained it before, I don't know how to explain better, yes, if you want to state something about something not existing, you can deduce anything, and no, it's not going to lead to anything neat, but the point here is precisely that you are allowed to state anything about the not-existing object, hence that conclusion in the test is logically true in that sense. Lol I get it why you find that crazy though. You can look at it as a really ironic statement, at least .


YEAH YEAH
By the power vested in me by Dunning and Kruger I hereby question my worldview, which has some roots in my supposed intelligence. Augh what if I'm a moron this entire time
You're fine


By the way, I'm probably not IEI. Maybe I'm a stupid ILI, or an SEI/LSE who's incompetent at taking care of herself, let alone others, but I think I have an explicit function in my ego block, at least one. I'm too prosaic for Beta NF, got very little inclination towards high art or anything that's not purely hedonistic and self-interested, purple prose makes me squirm...and I just feel somewhat competent in the practical world, considering my incompetence..there are so many things I miss, about situations and people...IEI should be master of implicit fields
I didn't drop the ILI consideration either. You aren't all that prosaic but ILIs can be poetic too.

I don't know what you mean by purple prose. I don't know what things you miss about situations/people, either. IEIs can be somewhat competent in the practical world by way of lots of effort put into it. Relate to that?


Eg, I don't know anything about law, but I'd almost be more comfortable making a chilly "legal" argument than I would making some type of personal appeal. Both SEI and ILI may have trouble asking for things but IEI should at least know how(even if they employ the skill judiciously)
If only you hadn't put the word "almost" in this sentence.

Hahaha.. like that, sure.

Well I don't know if the context in my post for that wasn't clear for you or what, the issue with that conclusion was that the Gormagians could be dead because someone else killed them, not that person who claimed it originally.

If it's just nitpickiness for you in terms of not confusing two people for each other, well... I did say before in this thread that I'm anal enough for this test though =)
