While pronouncing xor as 'ex-or' makes sense, since the x stands for ex-clusive, most words in English that start with x make the 'Z' sound. Xenophobe, xylophone, xanax. But once again, the regular 'or' in English is already exclusive, so there's no need to make a new word for it, but I admit it would be fun.

 

You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

Yes, it depends on the tone, which dictates whether it's rude or inquisitive. This is how I see it.

Why would you SAY that? = what you've said is shocking or offensive.

Why would you say THAT? = one wants to know more about that.

I also saw it as a bit odd at first, but it makes the most sense after thinking about it.

NT vs NF is a good division because intuition and thinking (NT) vs intuition and feeling (NF) are quite distant personality-wise. The former were coined "the rational(ist)s" as all 4 enjoy abstract, nerdy topics like MBTI itself. The latter... cry a lot?

NP vs NJ would've put INTP, INFP, ENFP, ENTP in one group which would be obvious nonsense. INTJ, INFJ, ENFJ, ENTJ in another. Uhhh, nope.

The main thing about the SP vs SJ division is that SPs use Se and SJs use Si. This makes most of the SPs (ISTP, ESTP, ESFP) seem very "JUST DO SHIT" and most of the SJs (ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFJ) seem very chill and or serious/organized.

Grouping sensors by ST vs SF would put ISTJ, ESTJ, ISTP, ESTP in one group, not quite seeing the commonality. ISFJ, ESFJ, ISFP, ESFP would go in another. Same hodgepodge dilemma.

16p's grouping of 4 types in 4 groups seems like a shitty version of socionics' quadras, which group types on common valued/frontstack cognitive functions. But in my opinion that's 16p's problem in general, disregard of the functions just to describe personality. That just seems like no fun at all to me!

Filler words is the most correct answer because words like "like" do actually have meaning, but there is also something called embololalia (also spelled embolalia), the insertion of meaningless sounds/words into speech, which would include "uh, ah, mmm," etc.

You've proven to me that the em dash is a bit of a Swiss army knife indeed; you didn't, however, have to diss my boy, the semicolon!

Not only does his design make logical sense for his specific job, but he also takes up no more space than a comma.

OK, my final guesses are... INTP? ISTJ? ENFP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Alright, here's my guess... ISFP?

3 more questions before I guess your type.

  1. What do you find so interesting in human behavior, or in other words, why are you interested in human behavior?
  2. Is truth discovered or created?
  3. Describe the feeling of anything you choose in detail.

Why are you interested in MBTI?
