I will have to read that Metropolis blog in full and carefully, it's obviously crucial to him. May need garlic and a cross to protect me from Si overwhelm.
I find him very hard to read too, pretty much always. Even that article about Corbyn actually.
Was trying to go back in timet in hope to find stuff that would be easier yesterday, but the older ones aren't really easier.
And yes i think it has a lot to do with Si overhelm, and it's not quite the same kind of overhelm i usually get from Si dominant people.

will read that soon too.
tbcd.

Really? :shock:

That one was easy as pie for me, Vincenzo!

And I have the attention span of a chicken for reading anything more complicated than Dr. Seuss. :madgrin:

Which suggests he is far more likely to be your quasi than your benefactor, let alone your kindred.

Quasis only understand each other when they're in the same game and agree on the rules of the game.

That Corbyn article is very Te heavy. So is a lot of his written stuff. As I said above, sometimes this stuff gets so Te and Ni heavy you'd think it must be gamma. But I don't. I think this has to do with his upbringing, legal training, and determination not to 'let things fall apart'.

I agree with this. And I also agree, after reading the Corbyn article and skimming his aborted blog posts, that if he's FiNe he should really be FiSi.

That was indeed a very good article. What made it good was his structured, organized articulation of the history and his markedly clear-sighted interpretation of it—basically, the Te and Si with Ni demonstrative behind it.
If I hadn't seen or read anything else about him, I could somewhat easily see him as NiTe—Si role and all—based on that article. But...it's REALLY Si heavy, and it seems specifically like valued Si as agenda, establishing where everything SIts with neurotic precision, and not just as a role to give way to an illustrative Ni 'collapsing.'

Roshan I agree that it isn't so clear he's counterflow. I'm not sure why others are so sure of it either. Personally, at first, he struck me as not Sp first despite the avarice, and even though I know I shouldn't be typing this way ONLY, he had a lot of the energetic signals of other So/Sp's and superficially seemed more likely Sx last than Sp last. There's also quite a few photos of him where he seems to have this...lustful, slovenly, predatory look that we've usually only seen with Sp/Sx: https://i.pinimg.com/280x280_RS/f1/4b/1 ... 49fb64.jpg

The only other stacking that seems at all possible is So/Sx, and I must say, there seems to be something really synflow to the WAY he lost it—like he got caught up in a So/Sx whirlwind of Walter Mitty-ish fantasies where he 'happened' to be here, suddenly got kidnapped, etc...

I'm going to continue watching and reading.

Yes, but what makes it excellent is that the central point it all revolves around is who is Jeremy Corbin as an individual? And as a consequence of this, the overarching Si lens is subordinate to a value judgement as to whether the current 'record keeping' on him is morally right or wrong.

Same as in the Bronte piece.

Fi frame.

Si is overarching, but Fi is overriding.

And you've been hoarding these early photos of him til now because...?

:roll:

In any case, they wouldn't have been relevant to how the typing votes were cast, but...?

btw this thread is private.

When you choose to leave a shadow thread where the original was, if you moved the orginal to a private section the shadow thread becomes private too.

(I assume this feature is for large forums where members may not have joined certain boards so they may not be able to participate on the moved thread even if it's still in a public section; linking wouldn't be enough).
