Typology

I used to be super into typology and I've been thinking about getting back into it. I personally don't believe you can categorize people's personalities with 100% accuracy as not everyone can be shoved into a mold. But I still think typology as something fun. The whole reason I stopped being interested in it was because there were people who were taking it way too seriously. For example some people who claimed to be of xNTx (intuitive & thinking) were always pretending to be super apathetic and shi. I know that isn't everyone of course !!

For some reason, I've found analyzation of stuff like typing styles interesting for quite a while. Once you collect all the data you can find on a man or woman, and put it all together, you can collect an awful lot on them, which is both very interesting and absolutely terrifying depending on how much data is available. Especially once actual personal data gets involved, presuming the data isn't rather generic, but rather, actually gives you an idea of the person behind the keyboard typing the message.

It's funner to make guesses based off things which don't actually give blatant info about someone like their face or first-name+birthday, so stuff like typing+drawing styles. Also, the usernames used if they don't change their usernames across other websites 90% of the time, such as in my case as I've had the Digital Cheese name for over 5 years, and almost never use an alternative name, and when it is done, I often make it clear I am also that alternative name, with only very recent alt-names being the exception, specifically one or two I have sitting around.

I swear if a huge database was collected for all of this data, it would be hundreds of terabytes of seemingly random things, able to just guess a person down *exactly*. I know that something like that would very quickly be bad, but still interesting when done on a smaller-scale or only to analysis someone of actual, very significant interest.

Whats typology if you don't mind me asking?

It's basically just a way to classify the distinctions between people. For example one popular part of typology is mbti. Which will give you four letters that resonate with your cognitive functions. The letters are arranged in the order: I (Introverted) or E (Extroverted), N (intuitive) or S (sensing), T (thinking) or F (feeling), and J (Judging) or P (perceiving). Lets say someone is an ENFP, that would mean their cognitive functions more align with extroversion, intuition, feeling, and perception. I hope this explanation makes at least a little bit of sense...
