Why pity the chicken-eagle because it speaks and lives with the chickens rather than hunting and eating them? Should everybody lust for power and greatness? Why is looking down at others better and more worthy than getting your beak dirty? Should all dreams and aspirations be followed, period? Is the chicken brother a lesser being for being satisfied with his life?

I agree. It's that you're happy that's important. Not how or why.

The way I look at it is this. The Eagle can soar into the sky and be free of the mundane things of life, it can escape into its own dreamworld in the clouds. and that is consistent with my personality in the test. or as Oscar Wilde said, everyone is born in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars. why be a chicken when you can be an eagle? its nothing to do with power, its about freedom from earthly restraint, following dreams.

I took it a second time and I got the same result.

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

I guess that's not a million miles off.

unless we are on the Who thread. then altruism goes out the window.

Oh, I'm not so sure.

So, you're something in between Amarië and Figg.

its the same as mine. I thought it might be.

We're bonkers together Figgy !!

unless we are on the Who thread. then altruism goes out the window- Figg

I dont remember Altruism, which episode were they in? Bet it was the Master threw them out a window

have you done the test yet? mind you I don't think there is a Crabbiteer category.

talking of crabbit. I have the distinct opinion that I have absolutely no tolerance of other human beings. They annoy me, and I have no qualms about telling them they annoy me, and then they get angry, and then I get angry. But I cant stand people invading my privacy, taking the piss, getting on my tits and being noisy and inconsiderate in general. maybe its getting older, but I cannot put up with PEOPLE.

so altruism. not so much.

Nah, they had thrown themselves out, but it was hinted that maybe the Doctor had done it, having whispered to them that the Victorian skirts would make good parachutes. We'll know for sure in five years time when the story arc comes to it's end and bites itself in the rear.

That does sound.. Moffat-ee..

Well I took the test and the result was - ENTP ("The Debater")

Although it did say I had 100% intuition and 0% observation - which is a bloody slander- I notice when Figg is pissed at me- granted not until she starts shouting abuse and throwing things, but I notice.

I knew you would get that one before you took it.

Hey, we have our first extrovert.

That's.. not all that surprising.

how can you have 0% observation?

Ita a nice feeling to know that we've got a crusty old worrywart to turn to, Have we covered the spectrum of the different characteristics you can get ???

Not yet, but we're getting there.

Is there a category for people who don't have the patience to complete the personality test?

Took it again, today I am Defender (ISFJ-T)

Im not very happy with the description either-

'people with this personality type may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration'

What?!

'Very Argumentative'

I am not argumentative! I am rightfully crabbit

'ENTPs often misjudge others feelings and push their debates well past others' tolerance levels.'

People have tolerance levels?

people with this personality type don't really consider emotional points to be valid in such debates either'

Surely that should be 'no one really considers'? They are subjective, wishy-washy and you cant debate someones feelings thats why!!!

'Unless people are able to back up their ideas in a round of mental sparring, ENTPs are likely to dismiss not just the ideas but the people themselves.'

This one I really do take issue with, I would never dismiss someone because I dont agree with them on something, otherwise Figg and I would have stopped talking to each other long, long ago. But I both like and respect Figg, and her views even if I strongly disagree with any of them or not. And that goes for anyone else on here for that matter.

'Can Find It Difficult to Focus'- ok they've got me there, I do wear glasses.

I refuse to address the last one due to the now fantastically late Forum Awards.

I am going to assume it takes special talent, and leave it at that.

Oh, I don't know..

ENTPs' capacity for debate can be a vexing one – while often appreciated when it's called for, it can fall painfully flat when they step on others' toes by say, openly questioning their boss in a meeting, or picking apart everything their significant other says. This is further complicated by ENTPs' unyielding honesty, as this type doesn't mince words and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate. Likeminded types get along well enough with people with the ENTP personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general, are often conflict-averse, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies over unpleasant truths and hard rationality.
