Well you may be an "Architect" but I'm cooler boy-o, I'm a Composer which means I'm "attuned to sensory variation in color, line, texture, aroma, flavor, tone-seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and hearing in harmony".  I don't see you attuned to anything but worrying about failure, while I have "a natural grace of movement".  Ya I rock.

Whatever...  You also are a kindred spirit with Cher, which takes away any coolness.

But this is me:  "[Architects] think of themselves as the prime movers who must pit themselves against nature and society in an endless struggle."

Arrogant, perhaps, but cool.

[Spriggan]

Psh but I've got Mel Brooks which negates any possible harm from Cher.

my "senses [are] keenly tuned to reality" which means the Gnomes liveing in my closet are real and everyone else isn't "tuned" enough to see them.

[Fellfrosch]

I'm a Teacher, which puts me in with Gorbachev. That explains the birthmark.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm a performer artisan. That makes me a prima donna. I'm in with Ronald Regan and Marilyn Monroe. I rock

[fuzzyoctopus]

I'm a counselor Idealist.  

Which makes me .... um a freak of nature?

[stacer]

Me too, fuzzy. If I remember right. It's the one that INFJ fits in, at least.

[fuzzyoctopus]

If we're both INFJ's how is it that you're a Marianne and I'm an Elinor?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I'm the ideal Idealist.
Go figure.
But not enough
to tell me so.

[Oldie Black Witch]

I'm a rational mastermind. Does this mean I'm going to take over the world?

[stacer]

If we're both INFJ's how is it that you're a Marianne and I'm an Elinor?

That is a very good question, for which I have no answer. But I don't think it takes into account how your motivations manifest, just what your motivations are. Perhaps?

[The Jade Knight]

Hmm.  I'm rational.

Last time I took one of these sorts of personality tests, I think I was borderline INTP/INTJ (architect/mastermind)

So being stuck in the Rational category makes sense (that website wont give me more detail unless I pay for it).



And Old One, seeing as you're a "speaker of undead languages", do you speak Cornish?  Or Manx?  Or modern Hebrew, maybe?

[stacer]

I'm also borderline--sometimes I come out as INFP. So perhaps that's where the Elinor/Marianne difference comes in, fuzzy.

[Oldie Black Witch]

JadeKnight,

I'm thoroughly tempted to start on Cornish, but it'll have to wait until after law school. Otherwise you got the language family right. I speak Scottish Gadhlig, Welsh, and and Irish Gaeilge. Considering how near extinction Welsh was, I consider it an undead language that is reviving with heavy language necromancy. Irish, however, is undead and is starting to fall apart, despite the power (and lack of understanding) of the language necromancer (the Irish government).

Edited to add that Scottish Gadhlig is rapidly dying out and is predicted to become extinct within the next 50 years. Thus it is undead and beginning to smell.

[stacer]

Well, depends on where you go. There are some serious movements in the Highlands to bring it back. About the only thing I can say in Gadhlig is "Co as a ha siv" which is probably spelled atrociously. I tried to learn it a while back--joined the Highland club at BYU the year before joining TLE, and there was a guy in the club who taught it once a week. Highland Society pretty much broke down the next year, so I was free to join TLE.
