If they say you are NiTe, then this is who you are. I tried to resist them too. They don't change their minds.
I haven't resisted actually. Personally I'm still in the beginning, just learning to do this kind of typing, this differs so much from MBTI and Socionics for example. I'm just delighted to have all this discussion What do you think is your type then and what do you think is mine if not NiTe, want to share?
Your last video was looking like it was intended to bring you some different outcome from what you already have. No matter how much you fake it, they know it all.
As for the answering what I think about my type...well I don't think I am mistyped. Lol! I can't even visually read people to fake it. I think their assessment is accurate. What I find odd about it all is how it fits with this this whole ENTJ picture. ENTJs are supposed to be successful people, whereas I am not much anything else but a series of serious failures.
As for what I think about your type...Well resisting these guys/gals assessment is futile. I thought we have been through that already
I think what he meant was that on the MBTI tests you tested ENTJ (TeNi). So you thought you were TeNi already, then it was visually confirmed.
No argument there. But in another topic after that what you have pointed at, I have dared to question my type again in an defiant act of futile resistance....for which I was (righteously) quickly corrected. I just try to help our new member to save her time. Don't repeat my mistakes type of help.

@mv - I'm sorry if it came across that way. It's no secret on this forum that we're all learning including Alerith & I, and we all get a bit confused from time to time. There is no "authority" on this matter that you have to be afraid of. That's because, like science, we're exploring an actual phenomenon that is bigger than any one person's opinion. It is possible you were mistyped, ...in which case I simply showed more support for my opinion, which is the only reasonable response to have. I didn't shut you down, I presented more data/perspective and that's all.
edit: It seems we've gotten on your Fi's bad side somehow... If you'd like to argue our methods being unjust, flawed, etc, that can be done more civilly in another thread. But please don't spread venom around?

I think you take it wrong. I think you perceived my sarcastic joke as a serious concern.
I actually have no problem with being mistyped. In fact, I mysteriously even welcome it. I think I would feel relieved After all, I find TeNi shoes a bit larger than how I perceive my real social standing.

This one has gone so wrong
I have no problems with your methods. I spread around my "venom"? Wow.

I must say this is exactly the opposite experience I had here when I was VRead. They initially thought I was SeFi and they changed their minds as I gave them more evidence and info. And from I vividly recall from your experince as being VRead on this forum, they typed your correctly right away - they said you were the exact type you thought you were. And if what you said is due to something else that happened on the forum, your are not 'solving' it this way: at the wrong thread and at the wrong time (which really looks like venon - or at the least, childish behavior lacking vision of implications to others, centered entirely/solely on yourself). I have been watching all the VRs that happen here and there is absolutely no evidence/data or rational/logical base to back up what you said. Your comment was vividly motivated by subjective shadow aspects of your psyche that I highly advise you to investigate - it will make your life sweeter, easier, lighter and free from sad and obscure so-called "sarcastic jokes".
mv, I have no preferation for outcome so that's incorrect. I do admit that making a video for purposes like this could easily affect how authentic I can be. I might not even be aware of it even if I wanted to give certain impression. But don't you think just that would tell something about me? Don't you think having those expressions is still something I cannot really control but comes naturally even if I was trying to give some kind of special impression ie faking something? Just assume I really, truthfully, was NiTe. Could I still fake it as much as to come across NeFi based on what I look and how I behave and act and move? That would be very cool but I really doubt I could transform myself into something else that strongly If these people say it's NeFi, not NiTe, I believe them. I would have believed NiTe too.
I don't think you have enough information to fake anything. I was quite nervous when I made my first video too. But when I made a second video, the signals of my type have become even more clearer. They are pretty good at reading your type even if you are nervous and unsure. At least I base this on my personal experience.
I have no problem with people trying to make more videos to type themselves even better. I might even do one for myself. But the point here was and is...to not be much hopeful that a new video will accomplish anything. After all, they are pretty good at reading it. Perhaps calling it "resistance is futile" is a bit strong, or leads to misunderstanding. Perhaps if I said "Don't place much hope, they get it quite accurate at first video too" would not cause this tsunami
PS: I really dont want to be considered as TeNi. I think the shoe size of it is too big for me

And what else on this forum can possibly be a reason of my "venomous" "sarcastic joke" that leads me to question their typing method. Where does that "questioning their typing method" comes from? I do not see anything in my comment to Calla that suggests that I question their typing method. In fact, I do quite the opposite of that. I suggest her to stop "resisting" it...which in turn means that "you should accept what they type you as". It is a stance of total agreement with the people who developed this typing method. Not an act of defiance. I can't even think of any "possibility" of something like that even happening.
I have never seen anyone being mistyped. At least, not until the moment that I made that comment to Calla. You might be mistyped once. It can happen. But it certainly happened before my joining this forum. I cannot know everything. And besides, I do not try to look argumentative when I make "sarcastic jokes". That is the point of making a joke. If I wanted to be argumentative, I wouldn't throw it on this topic. I would have another one.
The only reason why this topic looks "venomous" is because of the people who perceive it that way. My comment to Calla was a joke. And other people took it as venom and started derailing the topic. Not me. If you look for someone to point fingers at...I suggest you to look at the mirror.
PS: I have no problem with my topics being derailed either. If you have an argument. Bring it on! Anytime. I love that.
mv, it is not necessary to try to defensively twist it into something that 'is about arguments'. it is about self-awareness and awareness of the impact of your carelessly chosen words even when you are trying to make what you consider to be "sarcastic jokes". As you develop more self-awareness and become more familiar with your bitter Fi (and also more familiar with the dynamics within you that feed your lust for unreasonable fighting), you will inevitably become more true to what your consciousness really want to convey and even (as an inevitable consequence) become a more fulfilled and effective businessman. As I said once in another thread, the world is giving you the hints.

Hello,
I do not know what do you mean by "self awareness", but I somehow believe that I am quite self aware of what I say. Except the circumstances where my social mobility is limited to analyze the situations and people from more objective perspective. Other than that I am quite self aware (at least my stupid self thinks so). I do not really know if my fighting is unreasonable for other or not, but for me (generally speaking) its not unreasonable. There are serious reasons behind my fighting that I seem unable to carry out to the visible light spectrum. I do not believe any of that happened here on this forum yet. I am speaking in general terms. If you think that this side of me somehow manifested itself in my speech on this particular topic, I suggest you to reconsider your reasoning. I am not on fighting terms with anyone here. Including you.
I am not trying to twist anything. And the proof for that is this: I am unable to twist anything. Incapable. What I say is what I believe. And what I believe is what I say. There is no double talk here. If you believe that my words have some negative impact on people, I cannot see how that happens. Although the reaction from people in that particular topics would suggest so. I do not understand why. It certainly wasn't my intent to make them so. My comment to the girl who wanted to be typed was just in a "suggestive" manner. And it was half jokingly. I do not understand why people would take this as "spreading venom".
Edit: Maybe I can help you with something here. I can speed up some time into future and tell you what your outlook about me would appear to you. You would simply think "This MV is an idiot (and probably rightly so). Why have I ever tried to explain things to him? He certainly a stupid ox. Leave him alone. Or better yet, just ignore him and hope that he will leave someday. Thank goodness that I finally realized that." Perhaps that helps?

When conflicts arise on a forum whose aim is to help people better understand and maximize their cognitive differences, it'd be helpful to isolate those differences and focus on the why. As in--why is this conversation getting personal? Whose/what values and/or principles were overstepped such that we ended up here? Everyone originally involved in this communication is judgement-lead, unlikely to be of insignificance.
Starlit, that conversation was basically (if we try to isolate) a commnunication between my heavy Te straightforwardness (together with my Fi values of fairness and transparency/authenticity/self-investigation) and his Fi (that started the whole thing, in a bitter Fi mode, as Erifrail had pointed out at the beginning. And his Te too). There is a funny/interesting dimension to it. We share the same functions, which is interesting.
(Isolating can be interesting, yes. Bearing in mind that people are more than CT too, as I always insist hehe. There are always many variables involved.)

Ah yes, I understand the nature of the conflict, but do others? Could you explain this dance between your Fi-lead Te and his Te-lead Fi? And---how his Te/Fi overstepped Erifrail's Ti/Fe. Mv did not consider himself to be spreading venom and was unlikely to be aware of the potential for such perspective. So many people come to typology because they don't understand the nature of their conflicts between themselves and others, and CT(I think) can help illuminate the reality of the functions as they interact between people.
Yes, always keeping in mind that CT is not everything and interactions between people will always be more complex than CT. Let's attempt to utilize CT to its greatest extent--first with eachother--and deal in the world of CT terminology vs. the more personal, which is what I mean by isolating.

Just my thoughts: i find very interesting the points you are bringing up. the forum could learn CT from meta-analysis of what happens on the forum. However, I believe one could not explain the specific phenomenon of this thread strictly through the dance of functions, once there was denial of things involved (we were not speaking the same language. We were talking about completely different realities, and that's why I gave up lol - there were many unconscious personal contents involved that I wouldn't dare investigate/dig deep here because they don't belong to me), differently from the conversation between peppergirl and I, in which there was no denial involved... It was more a matter of different focus but there was effective communication.
