This is a rather messy post, but I do not have much time, sorry. I can edit later

Big 5 is build on a kind of consensus among humans around the world that these 5 factors are universal and are traits that can exist independent of each other (that extroversion is high does not imply anything at all about the other traits, you can be high or low on…[Read more]

Yes, I the Indian head bobble is a funny “signal” – I also tried to do it  It’s  a bit of a stretch for a J-type, it’s a totally none-J movement. I might start doing it now and then when I am typing, I can feel it would be healthy for my neck.
I think that at least one would see more extroverted signals among Italians, but among men I would t…[Read more]

Yes, I think we copy from each other.
I dont think that gestures are in our genes.

My guess would be that one had to correct for this or one would get vultology reports with all too much Je in Italy.

Contrary there are environments where one…[Read more]

@Rochelle –  thats a pitty since anatomical signals (I thought that “anatomical” only referred to the form of the eyes, eyebrows, chicks etc.) like tension in the cheeks area are rather impossible to “fake” or copy from other people.  Italians as example have a lot more gestures than people of the north, so here can be a bias that wouldnt be s…[Read more]

Thanks @Elisa Day. I know that there are changes.  About a month ago it said:  “Taut Square Cheeks and Horizontally Split Cheeks have been consolidated into one meta-signal called “Four Point Pulling” — which is the famous “H” pattern” ,  but the idea is now to remove split cheeks?  Four point pulling must be the same as taught square, which…[Read more]

Thanks for the information @Rochelle and in my eyes you are so right in what you are saying, without this discussion afterwards at least I would have been left in total confusion.

BTW, regarding Ceema, I couldn´t see the rigidness in her either. I think she is so hard to type. Maybe that would reflect in her personality too and not only in…[Read more]

Its beginning to get difficult to ignore the total lack of response when posting something. This time the silence is of minor importance compared to especially one other instance, but this time it is just so obviously strange with not a single comment  to a topical post about a quiz that has just been going on and where I challenge the consensus.…[Read more]

I also saw here as TeNi II– based on what I ses as taught square and sassy movements.
(I didnt see the quiz before last night, too late to participate)

And after your post, @Rochelle,  I found this:

She is smiling a lot in this clip, fx from 25:50

Wobbling lips and split cheeks, here you go 😉

Makes very much sense.  I’m not sure I have seen it with anxiety though, but maybe Fa-2….
I hope there at one time will be a similar graduation of all functions/clusters(?),  since it is so apparent that there is a correlation between obvious expressive units and obvious character traits of the person.  Likewise there are those who show only ve…[Read more]

The degree of a signal would  be interesting to quantify.  I always think of the guru (Osho) at the front site of the website as he has extremely hypnotic eyes.   And it was part of his persona not to be shaken by anything but just sit there at his throne and make politically incorrect jokes about religion and other delicate subjects, which cou…[Read more]

I think that was very good observations,@Wolf00 .   Really helped me being able to make the distinction.

When I saw the old video of him I agreed with @Animal that he seemed much more introverted there. Funny thing, usually people move in the opposite direction,  those who are flamboyant in their youth gets more restraint as older.
It is for su…[Read more]

Ok, maybe it need explanation.   Tom cruise is used as example of directive Fe.   Yesterday I stumbled upon this photo and to me it looks like Te-taut square cheeks. Also seems like horizontally split.  Also it looks like Fi snarling.    If yes, it means that even this amount of signals at a given moment does not necessary imply the functio…[Read more]

Just want to add that I do not claim to have knowledge about development/integration of CT functions (which it could seem like if I did in the above) but I have many years of experience working with sub-personalities, and since uncovering opposites to conscious parts of our psyche (‘shadows’) and working on the integration of these follow a pat…[Read more]

@bera
“…how can I deeply empathize while imposing my views on someone? :))) How can I do sassy emphasis while leaving space for vulnerability?”
I guess two “parts”, two sub-personalities that are opposites – in this case Fi and Te – can be seen as thesis and antithesis and if there is no synthesis, then one is stuck in either one part OR in the…[Read more]

is it a contraction and not a lack of tension?    Heavy, Weighted, Fallen indicate slackness….

@Auburn – My english vocabulary is too limited for me to recommend a term, but I would suggest a synonym for reduced facial tension (unfortunately already used as a Ti signal).  Flat affect is very drastic. If a psychiatrist saw the examples of flat affect in the database he would not even call it restricted affect.

The word affect is in itself…[Read more]

I have always had problems with this signal, which I think must have its origin in psychiatry where the same term is used about a lack of emotional expression due to relaxed muscles in the face. Maybe the signal as used in CT is a bit different (btw, I think it then should have another name, for example diminished affect, as flat affect is a…[Read more]

@ Bera  Yes, it a more appropriate version of the Trolley problem you present.  Maybe your very careful attention to all the facets of the problem where you look at every little possibility of pain for all the involved, now and in the future, is empathy at work in Fi. I can almost imagine that a psychophysical measurement  would have shown em…[Read more]
