Reply To: What I've learned after being mistyped for four years

[Septimus Rosa Chalier]

Oh, it makes a lot of sense… Your posts, @hrafn, were always the ones i found the most relatable.
At one point i even wondered how i could relate so much given that we only had 1 axis in common… I also considered the possibility of being an alpha (it doesn’t fit, though)… The irony…
So, yes, you being a delta seems right and i’m glad you’ve finally found a description/explanation that suits what you know about yourself.
As for the questions you asked :
1) i typed myself as TiNe at first. I was typed FiNe and i still think that’s accurate.
2) About my ‘true type’ : In the framework of CT theory, i think i am indeed an FiNe. But i also think over-identification is dangerous. Theories are good tools to help you navigate the world and understand it roughly, understand your own position and the positions of others in this world in a
schematic way. But there is something ahead of it, and a good theory necessarily collapse in front of all the nuances, the layers, the complexity of reality. Grasping is also simplifying.
About the process : It was alright, I don’t really know what to say about it. I think the desire of knowing our true type can become an urge and turn into an obsession when we go through
uncertain times… Trying to have a stronger sense of ourselves, trying to know who we are in order to find out where we are…
3) I think it allowed me to accept emotions better.
4) Suggestion : Well, i would advise people to not over-rely on any framework of understanding.
CT is a very exciting quest, Auburn is really dedicated to it and i admire is efforts to uncover some
aspects of reality. But, first : this is a theory in the making, so nothing should be taken at face value,
and it’s also ‘only’ a theory. By that i don’t mean to undermine the project, i just wish people to be
aware that, as for any theory, this is not the key of everything, the true way to see reality, the super￾theory that will encompass everything. The world is too nuanced, too thick, too ambiguous and paradoxical, and if you push a theory far enough, categories blur and melt.
