Suspicious Minds

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 31, 2007

I once had a friend of the same age in high school who started out like any other innocent friend but soon became a teaser. In later years he mellowed and usually cares about my welfare when we seldom cross paths in public.
He has spent time in the army. He has also gotten onto the [...]

Keep It Simple Stupid

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 30, 2007

I once had a friend back in primary school who I considered to be my best friend for many years. We always shared what I can now call a ‘deceptive admiration’ for each other. I was young, my social skills were about as developed as a tadpole and for all I knew there were [...]

The All Seeing Eye

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 29, 2007

I have recently returned from the cinema having seen the new Transformers film. I don’t consider myself much of a film critic although I do like a bit of passive escapism every once in a blue moon.
I have a relation who sometimes wonder why I haven’t wrote the next Harry Potter style masterpiece rather than [...]

Opposites Attract

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 28, 2007

I shall always remember a particular young lady from high school who liked me. In retrospect I would conclude she is of the socialites club thus narrowing her down to one of four *SF* types. I can quite confidently say that she fits into the type of Sensory-Ethical Extrovert (SEE), otherwise known as a [...]

Don’t Throw Soap in My Face

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 27, 2007

I once knew a girl or two whom I could narrow down as an extroverted rational. We could have conversations over the phone which usually turned into a one-sided soap opera. I would later conclude that I am dealing with an Ethical-Intuitive Extrovert (EIE), otherwise known as a diligent Actor.
The female variety tend to have [...]

Overthrowing a Sociopath

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 27, 2007

What is a sociopath?
It’s an old psychiatric term that has been superceded by the less negative connotative label of Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD).
Although I would like to remain a bit crude for the sake of this post and prefer the title I have given as it summarises my dreadful experience with this particular relationship.
And it [...]

Simplifying Socionics

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 26, 2007

In order to make each of the types, clubs, quadras and temperaments sound layman-friendly, pseudonyms are used.
What is a pseudonym I hear you cry?
A ficticious name or alias invented by the community to summarise what may look like complex theory into something human-readable. The pseudonyms for the types have changed a few times although [...]

Take Me To Your Soul Leader

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 26, 2007

I have a friend I’ve known since high school who has always had a relaxed and slightly feminine demeanour. He usually appears calm and unruffled by new interpersonal situations. He has always looked out for my interests though not necessarily a close friend per se.
Through years of interaction and observation I decided that [...]

Respect My Authority

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 25, 2007

I don’t know why some people I meet for the first time exhibit signs of a particular type more identifiable in a matter of minutes than others. Of course with my ego I’m constantly observing reality in accordance with principles I’ve previously identified.
A few weeks ago I went for an interview for an internet [...]

Knowledge Will Keep Me Safe

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: July 25, 2007

It’s time to come out the closet for I am a representative of the Logical-Intuitive Introvert type, otherwise known as a perceptive Analyst.
Two attitudes dominate my ego: To maintain an understanding of the world and to keep a mind’s eye on the inherent possibilities that rest within.
In reality this equates to the distinct chance that [...]
