What did you type as before? What do you type as now?

2+ years ago I was initially typed as NeTi II-I (Directive), and I agreed (and continue to agree) with that assessment. There was a brief period in which I was typed as NeTi IIII, but that was a result of over-modulation…Read more

Thank you for taking the time to post this. It was admittedly painful for me to read at some points, because you expressed your troubles so clearly and sincerely, and because I can empathize with doubting your own instincts and intuition, with feeling shame because how you've experienced yourself doesn't line up with what you're being told…Read more

Maybe I’m completely ignorant to what this actually is supposed to mean, but from what I’ve gathered it seems like without a solid ego, you’re left without an inner compass and vulnerable to manipulation and control.

I have a much different conception of this. I'm no longer a Buddhist myself (I no longe…Read more

I am sorry to hear that you've been feeling hopeless. Based on what you've shared here I think there are some really helpful things to consider that you may or may not have already, so my apologies in advanced if this advice is unwanted or unhelpful.

All people can experience nostalgic sentiments but for V, less feels “lost” because all data is still in the same Vortex, in some sense, which will loop around, and there is less fear of losing specific local data, because the…

The fact that we are primarily culturally informed tells us that culture serves the genetic interests almost all of the time.

I think this statement of Weinstein's is less true than it has ever been. Most of the billions of human beings that exist on the planet today live in artificial environments so far removed from natural selectors that it…Read more

“Hey, he looks FeSi, double extroverted. And his affect looks weighted”

versus

“Hey, he looks FeSi double extroverted. And his affect looks fallen.”

You're almost certainly correct that 'fallen' is easier to incorporate into sentences in general, though I find the first example rather easy to rearrange for concision and reduced clumsin…Read more

‘Weighted Affect’ seems to come close, yes– as a baseline downward contraction of the face muscles. ‘Heavy Affect’ also came to mind to me, as well as ‘Fallen Affect.’

Of these three options, 'Fallen' is probably the most accurate if looking directly at one of its specific definitions: "(of someone's face) show dismay or disappointmen…Read more

@auburn - if what we're describing physically by 'Flat Affect' is a pulling down of the facial muscles, could 'Weighted Affect' be a better term for this phenomenon?

I find myself (and others) making these kinds of macro groupings all the time, even though I’m unsure if it’s even correct or ethical to do so.

Mm. Generalized thinking along typological lines is something I used to engage in quite a bit, but the more I looked at the thoughts and tried to find where they were leading, the more I realized they wer…Read more
