I'm not sure...somewhere in between. Mithalwen taught me to distrust my instincts, but I never go in for deep and multipaged analysis, and I do not pick up on details. Someone always points out my post count or some such nothing as though that proves my guilt and my response is always "huh? You're COUNTING? Why?" I am very definitely a big-picture person. So when I think someone is guilty, it may be a very reasoned, thought out thing, but I can't point to the myriad of little things that caused me to think so. It's not a random gut feeling, I just can't articulate what I've noticed, because I don't consciously notice things on that level.

But I am also very very careful with my phrasing, whether innocent or guilty. It's always been my opinion that words are fairly arbitrary and it is a speaker's duty to narrow down the pool of possible meanings as much as possible. That almost got me in trouble last game...I confessed to taking meticulous care with every post, and Firefoot thought that seemed wolvish...but it wasn't. I'm just very careful with what I say.

Well I came out as ISFP so that's:

Introverted - that's pretty much right. It's why I don't post all that often. I prefer to sit back and watch others interact without posting myself and talking about my inner thoughts.

The others are about half right I think. Or at least I hope!

I remember this test. Instead of usually taking it in a psychology class ( This test is based on Mr. Jung's original personality theories), this was an assignment for english class so our teacher could learn of even more ways to get into our heads...

I came out as an INTJ from my original score, and not being a big fan of Jung, I don't really reguard it that much as I should like too.

Lovely link dear, I almost forgot about this thing. I believe I shall explore more of this.

I was reading through this site when I came upon my name. I totally agree with this! Thanks Lalaith! I find that I am an Artsy type of person, I think in images and such and find analysing useless. I always find any "evidence" I find could point to either side. I usually make seemingly strange connections in my head that are hard to explain, but they seem to lead me in the right direction most of the time.

Ah, yes, I've taken that test more than once. It was given to me when I was eight years old and then again my senior year of highschool. Then in a psych course last year I took it again. I'm getting sick of it.

I came out ENTP every time.

E won by a good margin over I, as did T over F. P and J were a bit closer. There was no contest between N and S.

So Kath, as an SF, (facts and feelings) do you play more by instinct or by system? What about Ka and Phantom, who are the opposite, both NTs?

Well, I tend to come out as Introverted (though not always), and I am one of the loudest players out there, I think.

But I am quite contradictive that way, in real life as well. I prefer mostly to stand aside and observe other people…and yet I am always longing to be in the spotlights and hate it when people do not pay attention to me. Odd.

I am definitely Intuitive, while the other variables seem to differ. Often I’m a Feeling person.

By the way – I think Formendacil is a very intuitive player and has admitted to being that himself a few times. He only pretends to analyse. I am the same way. I reason a lot and try to get all the facts straight, and yet in the end I vote purely based on intuition and experience. I am not sure why – I like logical thinking and ratio but when I am under pressure, I always resort to senselessness.
