    Default Hello from Snail Rider

    Hi, I'm Snail Rider. Just joined but have been lurking for around 10 years.

    Question I am most often asked, "Is this another one of Snail Rider's rules?"

    Pieces of advice I am most often given:

    1. Stop overthinking everything.
    2. Get out more.
    3. You would be happier if you had more friends.
    4. Don't think, do.
    5. Stop playing the victim.
    6. For God's sake, learn to multi-task.

    Things most often said to me as compliments:

    1. You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
    2. You are so warm and engaging. (Some people label me cold and aloof.)
    3. You are the most interesting/knowledgeable person I've ever known.
    4. You can be counted on to have a different take on things.

    I am also known for my obsession with privacy. Biggest reason I've only lurked here for 10 years.

    Really confident that I am an Enneagram 6, but even after all these years, just not sure of my socionics type.

    Have a hypersensitive limbic system, but also scored in the 93rd percentile on the LSAT. From the inside it seems like I'm both a highly ethical T and a highly logical E. (Cue eye rolling and lip curling from Sergei Ganin)

    Hope to have some enlightening interactions with some of you, discussing how the dynamics of the socion manifest themselves.

    Till later.

    Welcome! Lurking for 10 years, that is pretty damn long. What are your favorite and most memorable moments for the past 10 years of this forum?

    Thanks for the welcome!

    I don't think I can pin my favorite and memorable down to moments, but . . . I do have some favorite posters.

    I soaked up anything ExPat had to say. Always felt he was on my wavelength, hardly ever resorted to ad hominems, and usually put an obvious amount of thought into anything he had to contribute. Especially liked his attempt at explaining hidden agenda.

    Maritsa always made me smile. Her understanding of socionics often seemed completely turned upside down from the way I was comprehending Aushra Augusta, but she always soldiered on complete with copious examples that, to me, seemed to contradict her point rather than support it. Then occasionally she would come out with something that was so bang on I was stunned. And her personality . . . so very aggressive while professing a complete lack of aggression. Hands down, the most colorful character in the mix.

    I really got a kick out of Korpsy Knievel. Displayed a very sharp mind and even sharper wit, but could nonetheless be so easily baited by those who weren't getting it and who felt threatened by his superior reasoning. Completely in awe of his verbal expression. Never wanted to miss one of his posts.

    There was another person who didn't post that often, called something like Yarislov(?). I think he/she was Russian. Had a very mathematical and scientific grasp of socionics but had a hard time explaining his/her ideas in comprehensible language. Also, extremely condescending and impatient with those who were only interested in socionics on a more prosaic level. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to follow the theory from that technical level. Wish this person had posted more.

    I remember when DarkAngelFireWolf69's cognitive styles were being discussed on the forum. None of the posters seemed to understand what he was talking about, but put forward their analyses with such vehemence. It was almost enough to make me want to come out of lurking to contribute something semi-coherent.

    I always felt like choking the posters who couldn't get that socionics was not just another way to label and describe MBTI typings. GRRRR.

    Well, as you can see, this site was as much infotainment for me as it was a place to learn socionics theory. Kind of like a thinking person's soap opera.

    you mean him with the Reinin calculator. He had catchy slogans like, "Do you consider, you cannot mistake?".


    But you know a lot about Socionics, and you've been lurking for a decade. Why haven't you found your type?? Is that the project for the next 10 years?

    Yes I also get allergic when MB is mentioned. Like we are sitting here with the best typology ever, and people have to dig up some outdated system that is not even correct.

    EDIT: I almost forgot: Welcome!
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
