I believe if the German "geist" is used, "spirit" would be more appropriate. At least if it is used in the same general vein as, say, "zeit-geist" ("time-spirit", "the spirit of our times").

"Nationalism a spirit of our unconscious egoism" doesn't read well, though. I think "specter" is a better fit on this context.

I think it's telling that everyone on this Dwarf Fortress forum thinks the worst should rule.

Toady brain-washed us with shitty nobles.

The word in question could also mean damage. Who thought to use the same word for both intercourse and damage?

Anybody done one of these?
I met a banker who swore by these like they were word of God but I feel a lot of these are just obvious self-descriptions that you could easily learn by asking the same questions. E.g. are you willing to step on others to get ahead? Answering yes, no or I don't know is already self-evident

At any rate I got INFJ-A when I did this test years ago, and I did it again and still got INFJ-A. Supposed to be a special rare unicorn personality but I don't think it's as rare as they say it is, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that each of the personality "types" have traits which they all share in common - in which case are they even really "types?"

46% Extraverted - 54% Introverted
I expected the introversion to be much higher tbh

86% Intuitive - 14% Observant
This one is funny to me, because they define observant as pragmatic, focused on obvious realities, focused on stability, whilst the intuitive is big picture thinking, theoretical and exploratory. I do not see this as one or the other, as I have both traits in abundance despite the test disagreeing

44% Thinking - 56% Feeling
Objectivity (thinking) vs Sentimentality (Feeling)
This is another one of those odd things where I do not see why logic, emotion, efficiency or cooperation are viewed as exclusive things. They are all very compatible

51% Judging - 49% Prospecting
Decisive, organised (judging) vs Improvising, opportunistic flexibility (prospecting)
This is another one of those things where surely everyone strives to be decisive and organised, but still be flexible and spontaneous? Why not both?

90% Assertive - 10% Turbulent
This is probably the only one where I agree completely with my result, but with the obvious caveat that it's hardly rocket science to answer a test by saying "I am a pillar of stability" and the test concluding "yes you are stable." From my earliest memories I have had to endure many hardships and stresses, and it seems to have always been a core part of who I am that I remain emotionally constant, slow to passions and resistant to pressure. This tendency has only grown greater with time; there is simply no point worrying about whatever you have no control over. Do what you can and keep going. I remember having a funny discussion with one of my friends. I told him I only judge my past actions based off of the information I had in the past, so even if things turned out to be a mistake, I do not care because I made the best choice with the information I had. He asked with much incredulity - "but then you would never regret anything?" To which I replied, yes, I never regret anything

[Haspen]

I took one before pandemic (I think) and I was an 'Adventurer'.

Today... I got the same result. Huh.

I hate all social stuff, I'm easy to agree with other people's plans and I am easily excited by curiosities and new things? Checks out.

[dragdeler]

Why -A             infj-A? They're even less meaningful if presented like a spectrum. And it was allways a mystery anyway how this:

Dominant: Introverted Intuition (Ni)
Auxiliary: Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
Tertiary: Introverted Thinking (Ti)
Inferior: Extraverted Sensing (Se)

...shortened to infj. Yeah spoiler apparantly I'm one too and the fact that you too makes me kinda confident I could maybe tell them apart. I mean if the model is to believed we should raise eachothers neckhair since introverted intuition is the dominant trait lol... Yeah I'm not a fan of attributing types it's basically modern astrology... I did just enjoy reading up on the traits and their "hierarchisation", as a model.

[None]

Ah, MBTI/typology, guilty pleasure of mine.

Hypothetically, the tests that put you on the extroverted/introverted or thinking/feeling or intuitive/sensing or judging/perceiving axes are bunk, since current theory suggests we use cognitive functions in a stack (the Ni/Fe/Ti/Se in dragdeler's quote) and you can't capture that with the prior test.

You're defined as an extroverted type if your first/primary function is an extroverted one, and an introverted type if the second function is extroverted. You're a judging type if said extroverted function is one that makes decisions, ie feeling or thinking. The rest is just preference for intuition/observation or thinking/feeling, which sort of depend more on inner structure/source of values than it does how you may push your glasses up your nose and go 'acktyully' or for one to quantify feelings.

No clue about the assertive/turbulent stuff, I think that's a 16personalities gimmick?

I mean, it's likely probably all horseshit, but it's fun.

[scriver]

I am apparently an INFP-T, the Mediator. I think the -X part is chosen by your most weighty percentage. Turbulence is mine at 90 something percent.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And sure I too would like to believe the descriptions are just basic "pander to vanity by using general positive traits nobody would not call themselves" bullshit but the description of the Mediator do feel a lot like me. Maybe I'm just vain. I'd rather be Samwise than Frodo though.

I think we've had these before in the thread. Would be interesting to look back and see what I got then but as a Mediator my attention span is fickle

[TD1]

I used to get INFP on these tests. I now get ENFP.

This test was no exception. I'm an ENFP-T (Campaigner).

Emphasis on the T, unfortunately. I really need to work on the self-doubt malarkey   

Still, yea, the description is very accurate.

“Maybe I could…fly helicopters and be an oceanographer who writes songs and cooks?” Campaigners (ENFPs) are known for having a wealth of ideas, interests, and hobbies – to the extent that they may struggle to fit everything that they care about into their lives.

Hahaha, you mean to say the creative writing, PhD, engine-dismantling, piano, baking, bee-keeping, drawing and song-writing is too much?!?!

[None]

I used to get INFJ on these tests, this one pegs me for ENFJ-T.

I'm not nearly as much of a leader as it pegs me for, but I do kind of end up bubbling into leadership roles. But, well, we get this way because it's doing introverted/extroverted as an axis like the other traits and not the aforementioned cognitive functions, soooo. 16personalities is notoriously unreliable from what I've seen online.
