2015 Type Galen Thread

[anndelise]

Whiny in a way to attract attention from aggressors.

You think aggressors are romantically attracted to whining?
Wouldn't whining be more of a caregiver attractor?

Interest in current things already known does not = zest and enthusiasm for exploring new ideas. Ne I see as more open to the opinions and perspectives of others. Even if they disagree - take for example your willingness to even type out your response, even if you disagree with me. Every type will have NTR interests such as dance games, creating music, other theories, etc. That doesn't mean functionally the person is exhibiting Ne.

Creating music is a continuous development thing, not something one learns once and is done. There's always new things to explore when creating music.

Do you have a link to the post you are referring to?

I'll look for it. While you look for posts from Ashton, fdg, or Narc that demonstrate the candid sharing you say exists.

Coming across differently to IEEs could be interpreted as evidence that he's NOT IEE. Or considering your perspective that it's based on other factors in his life, his sexuality, his gender, age, etc. - technically every singe one of us on this form 'comes across' slightly differently - that's why I think it's best to type by function. How do you define Ne & Fi, ann? How do you see Galen using them?

Except you weren't totally typing by function now, were you. There was an awful lot of vibe talk in your posts. Even a touch of VI.

I'm not retyping socionics for you. Go to my blog and you'll see my views on the elements there.
The rest is worthless to type more than i've already done for you.

It's not that it's ignored - every type can exhibit 'playfulness'. It's the degree and nature and pattern of their playfulness which should be taken into account. One instance of borderline attention-seeking / narcissism is not evidence of a single type. Again, impressions like these steer away from the definitions of the functions and how information is interpreted.

Hmm, interesting, all those typing threads you did for yourself were borderline attention-seeking/narcissism eh?

I'd like to hear how you define Ne & Fi. Not all IEEs are the same. Your stereotype you impose is not true for all IEEs. I'll give an example - Simon Small or w/e his name was who used to be active, I believe is a male IEE who is NOT cheery. This blows apart any bias you think I have.

And yet you wrote elsewhere in this thread about Galen's difference to "cheery and perceptive" IEE.

No. That's definitely more typical of Galen. Do you care to provide an explanation why you think this is more typical of me?

Reread what i said, you obviously either didn't understand it, or are pretending you didn't.

No. But I still haven't heard Galen's official answers to my questions. I think I already have heard them though. Like woof said, drama and type-masquerading, too much for me at least.

I'm pretty sure he already hinted he wouldn't, in one of his responses to you, something to the effect of if he couldn't see something going anywhere, then he wouldn't bother wasting his time/energy on it.

@William
I found it, but after rereading it, and you being a bit of an asshat regarding how you're trying to interpret him, I'll instead wait to see if @Galen is ok with me linking you to it.

Go for it
