[ Public'd this one and the last, because several people linked back regarding MB etc. apparently without realising that the entries were locked. Ah vell. XD]

I apologise for being tedious about this psych profile thing - an you like, unfriend me, or do what you will - but feel absolutely impelled to share the best gestalt-flash I've had in weeks:



This is the profile from which I took the music-appreciation bit in the last entry. Go read it, you may recognise yourself.

...Now, do this: replace "Thinking-i, iNtuitive-e, Sensing-i, Feeling-e" with "Crawford, Schuldich, Nagi, Farfarello".

Shines a different light on the team relationship dynamics, dunnit?



I need, like, one of those icons: "My Fandom Is A Metaphor For The Way My Mind Works."

EDIT -- You know what's also a 5w6/3w2 pairing? The fanon version of Harry/Draco. I'm starting to suspect this is a pattern due to cross-fandom population skew toward Type 5 females.** (Ron is 6, Hermione is 1, Lupin is INFP which the literature says is 4 but I think is 1w9. I'm sorry, I'll stop doing this soon, I swear it.)

**EDIT2 -- Because 5/3 is about the only dramatic pairing a 5 would end up in. I'm sure most 5s end up with 1s or other 5s in geek hivemind marriages, or relaxing with a 9, or being thoroughly whipped by a 2. But all those make for really boring romance novels. (4s are good friends 5s wish they had the energy to date; 6s are good friends they wouldn't even think of dating; 8s make them run away.) 3s and 7s OTOH can trip the 5 up, which is all the fun of fanfic, and 5/3 gives you a better chance at a coherent plot than 5/7, if plot is what you want. 5/7 makes for a luffly relationship that lasts 48 hours on average, until the 7 gets bored and the 5 comes to his senses.



Speaking of which I was hit on by a 3w2 in the metro yesterday. XD In the course of 30 minutes of conversation he managed to convey that he was the black sheep of a rich family from the United Arab Emirates, held a Microsoft network certification, liked classical music, was experiencing a bout of existentialist angst at turning 25, recently paid cash for a new Land Rover, plans to own a pit bull, and is currently being audited by the RCMP for running a telemarketing racket. Then he paid for my taxi, so hey, it's all good.

...sorry, I couldn't resist. It's yours, if you want it.

Completely unrelatedly, when the hell did they make it possible to do styles for the individual entry pages?!

Eee, thanks! :D

(I'm in S2 mode, which Rahaeli calls "in heavy beta" - the default styles include individual entry/reply pages, but OTOH they haven't set up memories or anything like that.)

You're quite welcome. :D

(*taps her foot impatiently* I wish they'd get S2 ready already! I know it's selfish and unreasonable, that they've got their hands full keeping the site up, period, but I can still wish. XD)

>Lupin is INFP

...So that's why I relate to him. Huh.

Is that what you are? Your Lupin is anyway, and I agree with you. *g* If I were writing I'd be tempted to make him a little more of an INTP, but that would definitely be authorial bleed-through.

Harry I'd call an ISTP, and my problem is that I can't find an Enneagram correspondence that satisfies. 5w6 with heavy swing along the integration/disintegration lines (7 <-> 8) is the closest I get, with 5w4 being INTP.

I am very textbook INFP. So much for authorial bleed.

Haven't yet tried this Enneagram business. It looks to be full of numbers, which is immediately off-putting, but I'll give it a whirl when I'm back from England.

SO disturbing. Even down to the databases thing.

Hell, now I'm a stereotype!

My favorite is the paragraph about duality in mental process, Ti versus Ne. This after I've been saying for years that I write Brad x Schu as the personification of the order-impulse and chaos-impulse warring it out in my head. And now I have pop-psych mumbo-jumbo to back me up!
