$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')STJ, baby!! Normal!


Right you are! :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')STJs have an acute sense for orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is "normal" and what isn't.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Grimnir', '
')Myers-Briggs has eventually come up on every messageboard I've ever read, and it always turns out that the majority are INTX. It's not that INTX's get peak oil; it's that they get messageboards.


Classic case of flawed reasoning here, then. I wonder if there's some non-biased way of studying if there's such a thing as a "peak oil personality". Any ideas?

Oh go ahead and say it, it's the rigid, middle-class personality type typical of a small-town business owner, Depression kid, etc.

I don't think it's my original personality type, it's what I've been forced to develop to survive.

I'm not sure it's incompatible with being a hunter-gatherer at all, I was one heck of a little hunter-gatherer as a kid, good at gathering, fishing, finding, scrounging, and as hard working as any 2 other kids. And my biz now is essentially finding stuff, electronics surplus, that I either know, or more often, I have an idea, people want and are willing to pay for. I'm not sure if that's called intuition or whether it's just very good rule-following. I know a lot of it is just by feel, and learning to catch enough fish for the family was sheer stubbornness and learning by feel. It sure wasn't easy at first.

If all of these predictions are true, the kind of person who's going to do best is going to be something like that, part Ishi, part Hooverville brat.

I wouldn't have said rigid -- those all seem like extremely desirable personality traits to me! Very adaptive in the real world among real people. The ESTJ profile includes all the skills I covet but do not have.

I've always been a strong ISFJ. And while I do love order and structure and closure, I've also "thought outside the box" all my life. While my public lifestyle looks very ordinary, my private life and thoughts are anything but.

I think most of us peaknics share an openness to non-mainstream ideas on a number of dimensions, regardless of personality type.

Wow, seriously am I the only ENFP okay admittedly I waver between I and E

Middle of the road I or E
99 N
90 F
99 P

ENFP -- Though fits me to a T

General: ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another.

Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature ENFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they're a wonderful and fascinating person.

ENFPs often have strong, if unconvential, convictions on various issues related to their Cosmic View. They usually try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade people gently of the rightness of these views; his sometimes results in their negle cting their nearest and dearest while flitting around trying to save the world.

Work Environment: ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack.


ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice; they will always make a point of launching one of their crusades against some aspect of it.


To be honest I am somewhere in the middle when you look at infp and enfp, I have traits to match both, though neither is too dissimiler

Okay, I just got done taking the humanmetrics one (i didn't before, I was going off of the bloginality one I took before)

Now I am a INTP

I = 56
N = 12
T = 12
P = 44


Though I have taken a lot of briggs meyers tests and I have always been an F before --- Does this mean that peakoil has made me harder?

INTP here. I'm pretty familiar with MBTI and the common variants. I find the whole concept of temperament pretty interesting. I also see it as no surprise that NT's tend to be more prevalent here. (I also see it as no surpise that SJ's tend to be more prevalent among the 'debunker' crowd) Exceptions notwithstanding (I'm a strong P, after all).

Hi there ... Central missouri is great. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this area worrying about the future and plotting and planning :) Personally, I think columbia has been very recession resistant in the past (due to healthcare and education) and is about the right size city to be in (excepting the urban sprawl developing to the south/southwest... ). Im hoping to get a larger lot to allow some serious gardening and provide some wood...

ENFP here, too... I've heard ENFP's described as the "creampuff" type. Whatever, I think we're damn likeable. :roll:
