Arguments in a blatany fallacious format are pretty sure fire to trigger that in me though. Before even thinking about and spotting a fallacy, my brain automatically and instinctive picks up on the fallacy based upon how it perceived the argument. It's like having a sixth sense for logical fallacy. I perceive there's a fallacy first and instantaneously, then I need to think about it and pinpoint it's location. An explosion occurs causing my body to get a jolt, and then I notice it came from the northwest. I still think that instinctive, immediate response to a factual contradiction or logic contradiction is the cause of humor. It's a brain tickle of sorts. Humans can't know facts outside our own minds so really it's more so a contradicted in what is believed to be fact; thus, the things that either contradict what we believe will either make a person laugh or angry depending on how important the belief is to them.
The reason I keep bringing up this concept of what is "logically possible" vs what is physically possible is because the implications are huge. The laws of physics are only abolsute laws so long as no result of repeated experiments dispproves them. This extends to all commonly known and held facts about our world and universe. Facts are only facts because they've always been observed to be true so far; They're dependent on observation. If one day something that contradicts a fact is observed, it's no longer a fact; In science, it's no longer a law. The conclusion of this, is that there is basically no way to know that anything outside of the human mind is true and exists; so, people, can only believe and hold as true that there is a in fact a world them and that what they themselves and society observes in the external world is true. The Matrix. This doesn't mean we shouldn't believe in, live, and be very much lot in the world. This doesn't justify denying the physics. I''m not saying whatever a person believe is true; There's no need to be Buzz Lightyear, but I am saying everything outside of personal experience in the mind is taken on belief. The only reason the human mind is able to take video games and stories seriously at all is because it has no way of 100% proving directly to the mind it isn't real, so it keeps tabs on it, in case it's. The more a story begins to ressemble, coincide, and reaffirm facts we already believe the more the brain believes it's real. It pays attention to this information more resources to it. Sidenote: This brings attention to the fact that people don't have full control over what they believe. To a certain extent, the mind must be conditioned and coaxed into believing something. Getting the brain to believe something it doesn't want to believe can be frustrating. I've experience it, and I can imagine such. Now let's apply this to Kingdom Hearts and you.
Your brain doesn't want to believe Kingdom Hearts is real, but as you, Roger (your consciousness), wants to enjoy yourself, you want to believe it's real; however, because the information presented before you is causing so many contradictions in your current embodiment of beliefs, you'd have to get rid of them or think about how the two can coincide. Either way it's a frustating situation for you, So, you decide, "Screw it" and you don't take it seriously because you've decided you don't believe it's real. Perhaps you'd grant in some other universe with different rules it could exist, but it doesn't or couldn't exist in your universe. This causes a lack of care, and that's fine. I'm not judging or making an argument for what you should do. I enjoying explaining things because as I type out and explain something to someone else. I gain a ton of insights, and am able to better understand the topic myself. It's the benefit and reward of teaching. Huh, it's pretty interesting that there is one because I've wondered why someone would want to teach. It sounds absolutely awful to have to repeat the same information that I alright clearly know, over and over again. That's insane, but I guess this isn't really the cause at all most of the time. It seems to be true that as someone teaches something to another they learn something new.

Mental Health
I was thinking about something. I don't get sick, my mom doesn't get sick, my ESTP brother doesn't seem to get sick another ESTP guy I used to home teach said he doesn't get sick. Now, all of can get infected and sick or get diseases. You get sick easily and get allergies and so does your dad, but you personally, claim you aren't affected by anything, swearing, crudity, dark humor, etc. things that can be equated to mental germs, which cause mental sickness, poor health, and diseases. I think a person's type is genetic, considering it's basically the software-operating system, running inside of the brain, what else would it be; Resilence to germs and disease may be genetically greater for sensors; thus, sensors may be in part born resistentt to physical toxins while intuits may be resistent to mental diseases.
I hypothesis we can compare the body to mind and say that the laws of physical health can be applied to the brain as well.
Laws of Health
1. Eat immune system strengthening and cancer fighting foods which contain immune system and cancer fighting minerals vitamins and minerals. Vitamin c from Lemons, Limes, and oranges, vitamin A from carrots, vitamin E, K, Herbs and spices, orengano (Italian seasoning), etc.
2. Build up the immune system through gradual exposure to toxins. Pretty straight forward and explanatory. I would say using hand sanitizers, and washing hands and cleaning foods and touched surfaces too often hurts a person in the long run.
3. Exercise to release toxins from the body. It releases toxins through the pores and sweat. When overwhelmed with toxins, fat is stored and created in a body deal with the excess ive amount later to protect the body; to engulf and pacify toxins to the body such as chemicals, viruses, bacteria. When that fat is burned off the toxins should be burned off and exit the body throught the digestive track which the body can do now that it isn't overwhelmed with toxins to eliminate; Also, the increased body temperature during exercise likely also helps kill harmful, viruses, bacteria, and microrganisms. This is probably another reason I like to take really hot baths so much. The high heat: first, kills the bacteria on the skin and surface of the body, then increases a person's internal body temperature killing germs on the inside, anf finally the high heat as well as the waters expands and loosens the pores to allow toxins and germs to exit into the water. So the water doesn't just deal with macro germs and dirtines (dirt and visible stains), but micro-germs and dirtiness.
So then the mental laws of good mental health are....
1. Strengthen the minds mental immune system with immune building and nutrious mental food. When thinking about what mental food is we have to understand how our minds work. First off, our minds are basically the embodiment of all the information we've taken in and how they are connected in the brain. So this makes the information itself the food and how it's connected is the digestion of the food. This concept that information, like nutrients, are the primarily source of nourishment for the brain that strengthens it. So, if the information is mental food, then it's we need to be careful about what we physically drawing from our environments as well as how we interpret it which is digestion. So what's healthy and opposingly unhealthy?
Healthy mental food is, thoughts and ideas that are: positive, powerful, uplifting, motivating, and helpful etc. Imagination is the ability of man to see in his mind what is possible. If something is impossible, logically imposible, we can't even imagine it. A square circle can't even be imagined.
Here are some supporting examples for my hypthesis that exposure to information is literal food. There was this story I heard from a video with black and white pictures of the father and girl. The father kept the girl locked away inside away from other people with scarce and few interactions until she was around 10. When social services or someone, found her she couldn't talk, I'm certain of, or do basic things kids her age could do like walk, dress or feed herself, I believe. Then, I'm pretty sure they, overtime, they were able to teach her these things; so, there you go; if a person does take in information: ideas, and thoughs, from the outside world, then there brain atrophies, and they become inept. Of course the properties and amounts needed are likely different than food and water. A person may be able to go longer without mental food and water than they can physical food, but as seen in people who develop alzheimers and other brain degenerate diseases in old age, the brain will suffer and break down, if a person ceases, to feed, nourish or exercise it. Social interaction seems to be an excellent way to feed and exercise the brain which is probably why I love and need it so much and frequently. I haven't looked anything up, but from what I can observe at all the churches I've been to as well what I know and have observed about the apostales, the development of alzheimers and other brain degenerative diseases is lower inside of the church than outside. There are plenty of super old high priests, bishops, stake presidents, and apostales their minds fail none of them. The information of the Gospel is very nourishing studying it requires a lot of exercising, and system 2 thinking. So, there is inherent worth and value in the gospel afterall. It isn't simply about the reward in heaven to come. Living the gospel brings physical and mental health.
The Gospel gives us not only a physical health code, but also a mental one. This is a personal gripe that I probably shouldn't have and need to work on. My gripe is when a general conference talk, general authority message, or anything said at church, is critical, chastizing, and negative. Because and when I'm hungry and starving for mental nourishment, it can at times hurt a lot of be lectured and scolded at the dinner table. Well, hmm, vegetables don't always taste good. Perhaps positive thoughts are sweet and tasty foods like are fruits, nuts, and honey, that are good for the body in only in only if you don't each too much. On the other hand negative critical thoughts are vegetables, perhaps some forms of beans, fungus, and meat. They're foods that don't taste good, but are good for you. Huh, so maybe there is such a thing as eaching to many vegetables. Vegetables are high in fiber, so perhaps if you eat too many vegetables, and too much fiber, then the body won't be able to digest it. The fiber and the negativity block out the positive and physical nutrients. Hmm, so positive thoughts and ideas are fuel; they are sugar. All food in the body is converted into glucose which is sugar; however, if a person eats too much sugar they'll get fat. If a person is never constructively critisized they'll get mentally fat. On the flip side, too much negativity can block and prevent the sugar from being digested
2. Build up the immune system. So, gradual exposure to harmful mental food with toxins makes a person mentally stronger in the long-run. Going to public school probably actually makes a person mentally stronger while home schooling kids, or even possibly really strict private or charter schools probably makes them weaker.
3. Mental exercise, solving problems, using creatively to build or create something helps expunge toxins as well.
I'd add the pure knowledge, sensations and definitions of words, compare to proteins and carbohydrates which seem to be the foundation and staple of a healthy diet. The common analogy of "It's my meat and potatoes," seems to be based on what conventional wisdom has discovered through experience; that protein and carbohydrates are the bare minimum, essential nutrients of a diet. My nutrition class at school I'm taking confirms this. Alright, well that's about it.
In summary and conclusion
All people should be aware of what information and intepretations come into their mind if they want to be mentally healthy. They need to monitor, sense data, thoughts, and any form of communication.This shall bring all ultimate happiness and glory.
I hypothesis we can compare the body to mind and say that the laws of physical health can be applied to the brain as well.

Your Enneagram Fear can be Conquered
I'm don't believe that the negative fear aspect of enneagram always remains an huge issue your whole life. In my experience once you conquer your fear it, it sort of stays dead and will only come back to life if you allow it.
I am an enneagram 1w9 or 9w1 and so one of my main fears is being flawed or morally corrupt. At the age of 14 I had to accept two things that I considered major flaws at the time:
1. having a flawed appearence because of really bad acne and a newly realized crooked nose likely do to an trampoline accident as a kid. It didn''t show until my nose grew more.
2. I decided that I needed to confess certain sins to my mom and my bishop.
For the first one, my acne went away with accutane, but the crooked nose remained. It put me in a depressed and low self esteem spell for a few years, but I learned to not be so judgemental of others for their appearence, and to not care so much if others found me odd looking.
The second one did bring me an intense amount of fear the first time I had to tell either of those, but after that I wasn't afraid to confess my sins to a Bishop at all or even a crowd of people or more if necessary.
It's the same way you overcome anyfear you face it head on. Like the fear of public speaking. Once you've done it a few times, the fear goes away.
If someone conquers their Enneagram fear. They become virtually untormented by it and much healthier. Then their enneagram just becomes the positive side, their key motivation, and then they are now able to focus on it.
Perhaps, it's like Helen Keller and the moment she finally figured out the gestures her teacher placed in her hand, symbolized other objects. You're always going to be blind and deaf, but once you break through your barriers, they no longer hold you back and you are free to advance.

The 4 Caterogires of Humor based off of Myers Briggs 2 (Simpler)
Easier and simplier because why not, I talk about stuff here that I failed to talk about stuff in the other message, so Hooray, centive.
Humor can be put into four catergories.
1. Sensation
2. Intuition
3. Logic
4. Emotion
Reductio ad Absurdum (reduce to absurdity in Latin) is the root cause of all genuine laughter, but there is a shortcut. You can signal absurdity is to follow. This will trick your mind into laughing even at the statement or conclusion even if it's true, and it's all through abnormality.
Abnormalities sticks out in the brain, and cause it to anticipate that absurdity is to follow. If you can successfully trigger this physical anticipation in the brain, then you can make someone laugh without observing an actual reductio ad absurdum. The statement or conclusion is true, but the person is laughing out of pure anticipation.
For all of these the idea is that you want to do something that differs from the perceived norm.
The Sensual Way
Convey abnormality through the senses.
-Visually: change how you look; e.g. animate your face or body with silly faces and gestures
-Auditorily:
Change how you sound; induce abnormality in.tone of voice, inflection, tempo, volume, and any others. e.g. high pitched voice, speed up chipmunk voice, slow deep voice
-Kinestectically: change how you move and behave e.g. crazy dancing
Any other sensual oddities, though most other senses such as taste or smell don't have language or communication based off of them. You're more than welcome to make a taste and smell based language, but it'd be impractical.
The Intuitive Way
Convey abnormality through interpretation and meaning
Sacrasm- mean the opposite of what you say
Irony/ Inappropriate Association- Two things that don't go together e.g duck in suit, cow eating a hamburger at McDonalds (Your favorite analogy.) reference jokes
Satire/Parody- indirectly say something is absurd. Satire is a reductio ad absurdum where the premises and conclusion are hinted at or implied rather than out right stated. Parody is satire through demonstration.
Spoonersyms, uh other ones
The Logic way
State logical fallacies
The Emotion Way
Surprise or Shock someone. This is the one type of humor that 95% of Google search articles say is the main and only reason we laugh. We laugh because we instinctively want to warn others of the perceived danger was false. e.g Spontaneous and random anything. Spongebob throughs Gary over the bathtub and he pops to the ground.
Karma-
Unfitting emotion- Have too much or too little emotion for the situation. e.g. screaming at the tops of your lungs because you got a paper cut, Win a millions dollars with confete and a cheering crowd yet have a unamused Squidward face.

The 4 Catergories of Humor Based off of Myers Briggs 1 (Deeper)
First let me explain what I have deduced laughter to truly be.
The mental experience of laughter is the mind immediately perceiving the falsity or absurdity of information.
*immediate perception in philsophy and my use here is what is instantly knowable without any other means necesary. It's what takes place in the mind. *Note: that you can immediately perceive something is false through laughter, but you may be misperceiving the facts. You can laugh at things that are actually true, but it would be because you misperceived or misintpreted the information. Had you accurately perceived the information, you would for certain know that it's false should you have the experience of laughter.
*mind. e.g. Sensations, thoughts, feelings, imaginations. Note that laughter is a perception, which is very different from an interpretation, in that intpretation is how your mind understands information which is perceived.
You can reach this conclusion by realizing that
1.Genuine laughter cannot be forced
2.An individual can deeply examine their own experience of laughter and everytime will conclude that the fundamental cause is a sense of falsity or oddity in some way and on some level.
A genuine experience of laughter is caused by an internal mental event or external stimulus. You can sort of force yourself to experience the perception of laughter, a forced laugh, but this truly is just recalling a stored experience of laughter once more.
I received this insight into humor based off of my understanding of psychology through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It deals with the deeper level of the indicator, the functions theory. So first I'll need to give you a crash course.
You don't need to know the details of how the indicator works, but it'd certainly be helpful. I'll make my point and then give more details about the indicator with a wikipedia article link after it, so if you find your self confused or in need of a further explaination skip down to the bottom of the message. It is a useful tool for understanding people and characters.
What you need to know is that it give us four psychological catergories for the mind called "functions" Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling. Each person is 1 of 16 types and each has four functions in a specific order. The functions occupy different parts of the brain, so everyone can use them just not equally.
The 4 Psychological Catergories of Humor
1. Sensing
2. Intuition
3. Thinking
4. Feeling
What is Sensing?
The sensing function is focused on what can immediately be perceived to be true. The most common and powerful tools for immediate perception are the senses though the sensing function is not limited to this. People who strongly use this function have a strong sense of physical, "real life" reality. Their perceived reality based on what they themselves have observed. There are two directions for each function, introversion or extroversion which determines where a person prefers introversion or extroversion when using a specific function. It's represented by an i or e next to the letter so Si means Introverted Sensing while Se represents. Intuition functions are represented by an N so it's not confusing with Introversion, which is represented by an I.
Sensing Humor- sensation is the foundation of knowledge, so false statements, lies, and abnormal behavior.
Examples,
All forms of lying, including exaggeration. " I was so hungry I ate 1000 eggs."
Funny faces, odd dancing, harmless slap-stick and socially abnormal behovior for light humor, and extreme violence and crudeness etc. for dark humor. Dark humor is basically taking delight in the harm of others or making light of it, it can be any form of harm, physical, mental, emotional etc.
What is Intuition?
Intuition is naming, catergorizing, organizing, and intpretating information. It's the part of the brain that stores information not acquired through the senses, hypothetical knowledge, such as language, imagination, or other abstract concepts. Side note: What I learned from my logic class is that no one can imagine what is logically impossible. No matter how hard I try, I can't imagine a square circle because the definition of a square and a circle contradict each other; So, under that premise, anything imaginable is logically possible. You can know something is true purely through hypothetical examples and logic, called dedecutive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is the basis of mathematics; it's the reason math can tell you information about the world without testing or evidence /end side note. Intuition is heavily meaning and understanding based. It's very semantical rather than syntactical. Sensual perception is what you see, and intuitive perception is the interpretation of what you see.
A second side note: When a person's learning style it's most likely based off of the sensations the person initially used to create their abstract concepts. For exampe, a person who has a verbal learning style must have learned language and abstract conceptions through sound predominantly.
Intuition Humor- , perceivabled false intpretations of information and interpretations that lie outside of what one perceives to be normal interpretation; unfitting, uncommon, or abnormal associations and connections
Examples
Mistranslations, improper word use,
What is Thinking?
The thinking functions lie in the part of the brain that enables the perception and use of logic. People acting out of their thinking function have a strong desire to be challenged and achieve.
Thinking a.k.a Logic Humor- perceiving or interpreting information as logically fallacious in some way.
What is Feeling?
Emotions, morals
Feeling humor-inappropriate abnormal emotions, intensly sobbing and wailing because someone offers you icecream, Shouting joy and victory dancing when you find a penny on a ground. Most swearing humor is emotional humor because it's swear words are expressions of extreme emotion, but extreme emotion rarely fits the situation. The same effect can be achieve by using other words that sybolise extreme emotion. " You ate the last cookie?!! I HATE YOU!!!
Karma jokes are emotional humor too, as it's moral based, and morals are more or less emotion based.
Shock value, laughing at the unexpected, that's what you mean by "Shock value" right? There are levels of deepness to emotion so not all emotional humor is weighted equally. Peceiving something will hurt you, but then it doesn't so you're brain laughs as a cool down from the stress. It tends to be the cause that nothing phases me, so it's rare for me to genuinely laugh from shock. I'm not very emotional, so this all makes sense.

You can laugh at things that are actually true, but it would be because you misperceived or misintpreted the information. Had you accurately perceived the information, you would for certain know that it's false should you have the experience of laughter.
*mind. e.g. Sensations, thoughts, feelings, imaginations. Note that laughter is a perception, which is very different from an interpretation, in that intpretation is how your mind understands information which is perceived.
You can reach this conclusion by realizing that
1.Genuine laughter cannot be forced
2.An individual can deeply examine their own experience of laughter and everytime will conclude that the fundamental cause is a sense of falsity or oddity in some way and on some level.
A genuine experience of laughter is caused by an internal mental event or external stimulus. You can sort of force yourself to experience the perception of laughter, a forced laugh, but this truly is just recalling a stored experience of laughter once more.
I received this insight into humor based off of my understanding of psychology through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It deals with the deeper level of the indicator, the functions theory. So first I'll need to give you a crash course.
You don't need to know the details of how the indicator works, but it'd certainly be helpful. I'll make my point and then give more details about the indicator with a wikipedia article link after it, so if you find your self confused or in need of a further explaination skip down to the bottom of the message. It is a useful tool for understanding people and characters.
What you need to know is that it give us four psychological catergories for the mind called "functions" Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling. Each person is 1 of 16 types and each has four functions in a specific order. The functions occupy different parts of the brain, so everyone can use them just not equally.
The 4 Psychological Catergories of Humor
1. Sensing
2. Intuition
3. Thinking
4. Feeling
What is Sensing?
The sensing function is focused on what can immediately be perceived to be true. The most common and powerful tools for immediate perception are the senses though the sensing function is not limited to this. People who strongly use this function have a strong sense of physical, "real life" reality. Their perceived reality based on what they themselves have observed. There are two directions for each function, introversion or extroversion which determines where a person prefers introversion or extroversion when using a specific function. It's represented by an i or e next to the letter so Si means Introverted Sensing while Se represents. Intuition functions are represented by an N so it's not confusing with Introversion, which is represented by an I.
Sensing Humor- sensation is the foundation of knowledge, so false statements, lies, and abnormal behavior.
Examples,
All forms of lying, including exaggeration. " I was so hungry I ate 1000 eggs."
Funny faces, odd dancing, harmless slap-stick and socially abnormal behovior for light humor, and extreme violence and crudeness etc. for dark humor. Dark humor is basically taking delight in the harm of others or making light of it, it can be any form of harm, physical, mental, emotional etc.
What is Intuition?
Intuition is naming, catergorizing, organizing, and intpretating information. It's the part of the brain that stores information not acquired through the senses, hypothetical knowledge, such as language, imagination, or other abstract concepts. Side note: What I learned from my logic class is that no one can imagine what is logically impossible. No matter how hard I try, I can't imagine a square circle because the definition of a square and a circle contradict each other; So, under that premise, anything imaginable is logically possible. You can know something is true purely through hypothetical examples and logic, called dedecutive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is the basis of mathematics; it's the reason math can tell you information about the world without testing or evidence /end side note. Intuition is heavily meaning and understanding based. It's very semantical rather than syntactical. Sensual perception is what you see, and intuitive perception is the interpretation of what you see.
A second side note: When a person's learning style it's most likely based off of the sensations the person initially used to create their abstract concepts. For exampe, a person who has a verbal learning style must have learned language and abstract conceptions through sound predominantly.
Intuition Humor- , perceivabled false intpretations of information and interpretations that lie outside of what one perceives to be normal interpretation; unfitting, uncommon, or abnormal associations and connections
Examples
Mistranslations, improper word use,
What is Thinking?
The thinking functions lie in the part of the brain that enables the perception and use of logic. People acting out of their thinking function have a strong desire to be challenged and achieve.
Thinking a.k.a Logic Humor- perceiving or interpreting information as logically fallacious in some way.
What is Feeling?
Emotions, morals
Feeling humor-inappropriate abnormal emotions, intensly sobbing and wailing because someone offers you icecream, Shouting joy and victory dancing when you find a penny on a ground. Most swearing humor is emotional humor because it's swear words are expressions of extreme emotion, but extreme emotion rarely fits the situation. The same effect can be achieve by using other words that sybolise extreme emotion. " You ate the last cookie?!! I HATE YOU!!!
Karma jokes are emotional humor too, as it's moral based, and morals are more or less emotion based.
Shock value, laughing at the unexpected, that's what you mean by "Shock value" right? There are levels of deepness to emotion so not all emotional humor is weighted equally. Peceiving something will hurt you, but then it doesn't so you're brain laughs as a cool down from the stress. It tends to be the cause that nothing phases me, so it's rare for me to genuinely laugh from shock. I'm not very emotional, so this all makes sense.

Feelings are an Imprecise Sense
Senses are how organisms understand the world around them, and their own bodies. They
are precise, vivid, and immediate ways to obtain information.
Feelings are reactions to information that our mind has received through the senses or intuition. They are imprecise, vague, and not instantaneous ways for our minds to receive information.
Understanding a bit of sensory information is as clear as night and day, literally. With my sense of sight I can know with 100% certainty I'm seeing what I know to be "night".
Feelings are not precise. No words can accurately describe them. All descriptions of emotion are general and vague at best. Happy, Sad, angry, but anyone who's felt such emotions knows there are many forms of happiness, sorrow, and anger, and so the words used are not good enough. Words could be added into languages to describe emotions better, but even then they are not being described with precision, they are merely being categorized. The point is that feelings can't even closely convey information so easily as the senses can, but this doesn't mean they can't convey information.
While feelings aren't very precise, they are the quickest and arguably the least energy-consuming way to understand received or incoming information. Feelings can be completely wrong! They can be no where near the truth! No one should make important life decision based off of emotions alone. You'd get people kill, raped, murdered, and mugged! Yes, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point; Don't do it! So what are feelings good for then, isn't it better to make every decision based off of logic?
Yes, it would be, if that were possible for us to do! But we can't so it isn't. All across time, life has never been so simple, as to allow for their to always be one correct decision at all times. If we all had God like brains and knowledge, sure, every decision we'd make would be the best ones, but LIFE'S NOT THAT SIMPLE! What do I where to school today? I hate this question because there's not a clear best choose. I have to go with a gut feelings, and it sucks because I don't like having to use emotions to decide ANYTHING because they're SO DANG UNCLEAR! So, we're all weak, lesser beings who have to use emotions to understand the world because our brains and knowledge pools aren't good enough, and that's the end of the story, right? WRONG! Get ready because here comes the nitty-gritty, the deep unwater recess that goes down to the lowest point of any and all oceans.
Feelings, Can, Be, Trained. They can be TRAINED! and fine-tuned, through careful introspective and attention to each individual emotion and how it differs from another, and this allows the introspective feeler to ACCURATELY UNDERSTAND information and USE and APPLY it. Being able to understand anything QUICKLY and ACCURATELY? That's pretty much a super power! And all I have to do is follow my gut feelings? Boy golly, I've been living my life the wrong way. Hohoho, oh, silly, Billy, don't you know things are never as simple as they appear to be? Didn't you read the part about Careful Introspection, and study it out in your mind? It takes work. It doesn't come easily. It's only with a lot of practice that a person can quickly and accurately use emotions to understand information, but the ability can be trained. Try it out sometime Billy.
Another caveat, Feelings can informed thusly in two distinct ways. They can inform us about what is external to ourselves, extroverted feeling, and they can inform us about what is internal to ourselves, introverted feeling. Extroverted Feeling, Fe, is good for decision making, and introverted feeling, Fi, is good for learning as it aids our understanding of concepts. Both, together, give the person a larger pool of information to draw on and a better understanding of that information. And that is pretty much why emotions are useful. They allow for an understand that otherwise could not have been easily achieved. Thinking and data collection take a lot of energy. It is emotions that separate human beings from computers.
Emotions allow us to learn, develop, and improve ourselves. So there you have it. Emotions are useful, and focusing on them is not a waste of time or energy, but is the building up of a great strength vital to every organism's survival. If there was a information processing contest between a thinker and a feeler, and they both were equally trained and skilled in their respective field of thinking and feeling, then the feeler would outperform the thinker because he would be able to more quickly understand and process the information while still being accurate enough to not be completely wrong about all the information he/she process. Given enough testing, overtime the think would prove to process infomation more accurately and would be wrong about less, but he'd definitely be slower about processing, in fact if he tried to process the information quickly because he was losing the competition because he was going too, slow, he'd be extremely inaccurate because he had not trained his feeling side.
So, it depends on what a person's role in life, what job they will have, and so forth. No one person is completely weak, no one person is completely strong, but everyone is balanced in some form, in some way. In fact, every person that is, ever was, and ever will be, equaled, out on, on net-balance, are equal. They are. All men are created equal. I believe this is true, so it isn't what a person is born with it is what they do with what they have that counts. No one is born superior, but we can become superior through effort. Even then it's not conclusive to being superior in all ways, but only in that one specific way because every action has a consequence; thus, every inaction must also have a consequence. So, no matter what a person decides to do, or not do, some result is being achieved.

Why people have the urge to socialize?
to have people help them survive, sort of. It depends on level of needs an individual is experiencing. Is a person experiencing starvation? Then, yes, they'll feel compelled, to get help, but if they can easily survive then the urge is to socialize is due to a desire to fulfill higher needs. Let me refer you to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.

The Route Cause of All Laughter
*Laughter Spoiler Alert* If you are concerned, that knowing what causes laughter will ruin it for you, then DON'T READ THIS!
The core reason any thought, perception, sight, whatever it is, is funny is due to two key components.
A firm belief in what is perceived to be normal, correct, or appropriate for a situation, and a supposition that contradicts what is perceived as normal, correct, or appropriate for that situation.
The feeling/experience of laughter is when something is perceived to contradict what the brain knows, so profoundly, that the body causes a chemical reactions to occur in order to tell us that what we just perceived is completely untrue.
So, the cow jumping over the moon is "utterly" false.

What Truly Causes Rationals to Hate Sensors
It starts in childhood as the rational children try to interact with others but are unsuccessful because what comes to their mind to communicate or do for fun comes off as odd to other children since the sensors are always more prevalent in societies and do not easily accept what they perceive as an abnormality or significant difference in others.
The rationals may initially be depressed or morose about this; however, as they grow, and develop their personality more they are highly likely to conclude that the failure to connect with others is due to majority of children (sensors) being too stupid to interact with what the rational has to say and to do. This can turn into grandiosity, an unrealistic sense of superiority.
It isn't the case that sensors are less intelligent as commonly believed by rations. Sensors are very capably mentally. The key is that sensors and intuitives have different kinds of intelligence. One type of intelligence cannot be truly deemed the best. Anyone who says otherwise is looking at intelligence in a superficial way. On computers CPU , RAM, and memory storage are all very important. They are all useful and prudent for different tasks and different situations. The one aspect of a computer cannot be generalized to be worthless based off of one scenario. Large amounts of memory storage for example, will be useless to the common PC users, but suppose a business needs a computer to store records. Then, the memory storage is the most need aspect in that ONE SCENARIO, not all scenarios.
People relate to computers in this way. Each person has a unique type of intelligence. This allows for a diverse and prosperous society since every person has a role to fill that fits their natural strengths. Differences are not a valid reason to hate or think less of others. I enjoyed a world where more people understood this.

Memory Connects to People's Outward Behaviors
My long term memory is not as good as my short term memory, not by a long shot. My long term memories don't completely go away, but I have a hard time remembering things at an identified time to remember them unless it is vital for me to remember. I forgot to bring an onion to make spicy chili because it required long term memory.
This is basically why I benefit greatly when I operate out of habit or routine.
I know that I don't lose the memories because as soon as I am reminded of them I remember them, but I basically am only focused on area of my memory at a time, I guess.
I observe that how a person's mind operates, will be outwardly manifested by their external actions and decisions, so a person does not need to speak to you in order for you to know how she thinks. Specific what I have observed, is how the people, of their own free will, choose to keep their room.
I'm an ISTJ with Si as my leading function. I know all my stuff is somewhere, but I don't know exactly where that stuff is off the top of my head. I have to search for it.
An INTJ has their room messy, but knows where everything is. The draw back is if the INTJ had his stuff moved around, he'll have a hard time finding anything, and will rip his hair out.
Artisans either have their room a complete mess and they lose stuff all the time or cannot find it, or they get tired of feeling cluttered so they dispose of as many belongings as they deem unnecessary. Artisans don't have the best memory's because they aren't good at holding onto information they don't use on a regular basis.

Ennegram, My life story, and how my Ne become very developed for an ISTJ
I don't believe the ennegram system is measuring born-with traits. I think it's describe how the born with personalities develop in different ways.
I, for example, can almost directly link the environment I was raised in and the events in my early life to having a lot of Ne development. An ENTP father that spoiled me and gave me a lot of attention, thus, he spent a lot of time with me, thus, there was a lot of time for him to rub off on me.
Then there's my mom who after around twenty years of marrriage to an ENTP and after raising five children before me; she was and is very Ne focused, so she raised me in a very Ne manner. A special blanket she made for me, had me watch a lot of different shows and movies as a kid, bought me a lot of toys and stuffed animals, took me to story time activities at the Sylan Oaks library, had me draw and do arts and crafts, and there are probably others.
Our family moved a lot so I learned how to be adaptive, and I experienced many differ cultures and people. I was born in New York and I learned their customs, as well as California customs. I moved 4 times in California alone, one time we lived in a camp ground for several weeks, and 3 recently, but that' not about my childhood development.
Oh, we can't forget all the video games that I played that had a lot of Ne put into making them. Nintendo games are very Ne flavorful.
Our family would go camping a lot, and every Saturday, or many Saturdays, my dad would find some place to take our family to go one a day trip and eat lunch or dinner out. We did a lot of activities on holidays, and Christmas was always magical for me. Every summer, our family would go on a week long vacation to some where special and do an activity that we normally would not such as going to Disney Land while staying at my sister's apartment, or doing to knot's berry farm and staying at a World Mark resort place in palm springs, a desert place with Joshua trees.
I was always helping with some project my dad was working on around the house doing assisting jobs such as holding nails or holding a flashlight.
I had to make a lot of new friends because they kept moving away.I had to adapt to a new school
There was always something going on that shook life up. It all affected my development as a person and has left me rather used to an eventful and changing life. I'm definitely much more extraverted intuition focused because of it.

Arrogance
Arrogance is commonly defined as : offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride dictionary.com
I define it as: Believing one is correct without a thorough knowledge, or understanding.
In the Myers-Briggs system, an extrovert is someone who is externally focused while and introvert is someone who is internally focused. Both can be divided into two groups, Perceivers and Judgers.
Perceivers focus on external information and internal decision making. This means that they will put off drawing a conclusion until they have enough information to be certain that conclusion is correct, and then they are only going to make the conclusion relate to themselves or to one thing because they would need to acquire more information before they could draw the same conclusion about someone or something else.
Judgers are the opposite. They focus on internal information and external decision making. This means they will draw conclusions based off of information they already have and then later, if necessary, they will acquire more information.
How much perceivers put off conclusion, and how much judgers put off carefully acquiring information to make the right decision will depend on their level of arrogance.
If a perceiver is arrogant, they will believe they know what decision is the best for them to make at all times. This is why perceivers tend to be impulsive. If a perceiver is arrogant, they will believe they are aware of all the information that is presently available to them. Once a perceiver believes they have enough information, they will not hesitate to make decisions; thus, they impulsively act on the first thought that comes into their head.
If a judger is arrogant they will make decisions without considering new information. Judgers, can be known as people who are stubborn, inconsiderate, rash, and it all has to do with this. Quick judgements save time and energy, so it's very tempting to make them for judgers; however, one that is not arrogant will consider many different angles before reaching a single conclusion. The problem an arrogant judger will have, depends on their level of arrogance, : 1. Not considering new information at all when drawing conclusions, and 2. taking new information into consideration, but only acknowledging the information that reaffirms their judgements/conclusions.
A healthy, well rounded individual with avoid the pit-fall of arrogance. If you are a perceiver learn that even though the information may seem to clearly point to one course of action or conclusion, that you may be interpreting the information wrong. If you are a judger, learn that while the information you have seems to affirm your decision, you may be missing key bits of information that could alter your decision. All types are the risk of becoming arrogant, so all must be self aware and mindful.

ISTJ! ISTJ! ISTJ!
ISTJs that's me!
Introverted
Sensing
Thinking
Judging
Some things
-ISTJs will have the most approiate emotions while ESTPs with have the most appropriate reactions.
Our emotions are the most appropriate. What do I mean by that? Well, basically our functions go in the same order that the creation of emotions go in. Sensing, Thinking, Feeling. Emotions are terms reactions in objectivism. This means that they are the result of information we have received and analyzed which tells us how to respond. Si takes in information, Te processes, and Fi tells me what the information means for me. This is the reason why ISTJs are so dang practical, and resourceful. We can make good purchases because we take in the facts, think about them, and decide an items importance.
ESTPs will have the mos appropriate emotional reactions, or reactions in general sense emotions are the core basis for our decision when it all comes down to it. This is why ESTPs can be so smooth talking and good at scaring you. They see you before you see them, they are analyzing things quickly, and getting responses quickly. They are really good at disciplining children because they can talk the children into submission without ever having to be physically abusive. ISTJs just get forceful when disciplining. We can see the same things ESTPs see, usually, but we aren't good with words, or thinking on our feet so we use physical force. I have never harmed children, but I have quickly resorted to picking them up or physically preventing them from doing wrong.
-Everything sucks!
The world is a horrible place we see all the problems in it and none of the good things because those good things are good, so what's the point in acknowledging such; problems, however, are worth mention because something must be done about them.
More to come later.

This is why ESTPs can be so smooth talking and good at scaring you. They see you before you see them, they are analyzing things quickly, and getting responses quickly. They are really good at disciplining children because they can talk the children into submission without ever having to be physically abusive. ISTJs just get forceful when disciplining. We can see the same things ESTPs see, usually, but we aren't good with words, or thinking on our feet so we use physical force. I have never harmed children, but I have quickly resorted to picking them up or physically preventing them from doing wrong.
-Everything sucks!
The world is a horrible place we see all the problems in it and none of the good things because those good things are good, so what's the point in acknowledging such; problems, however, are worth mention because something must be done about them.
More to come later.

Why I, as an ISTJ, want to be with an ESFP
A relationship with an ISFJ would be a stable one, but that is not what I value the most. I am more interested in someone who challenges me; Someone who pushes me to grow in a way I probably would not if they never pushed me; Someone who will cause me to take a different path in life than I would otherwise have taken, and someone who I can cause to take a different path in life if they weren't with me. This is why I want an ESFP or maybe an ESTP.
We could say, that perceiving functions focus on what and judging functions focus on the how. For example an ISTJ would use Si to identify he is hungry, and he would use Te to decide he needs to eat spaghetti.
ESxPs and ISxJ with be traveling to different places in life.
ESFPs take the path to the right leading to a playground and I take the path to the left leading to a garden and the paths lead to different places. I like playgrounds some of the time, prefer gardens, and ESFPs enjoy gardens some of the time, but prefer playgrounds. If an ISxJ and an ESxP decide to travel together, they will have to comprise the where they wish to go. So basically ISTJs make the focus of life work, and ESFPS make the focus of life play. When two people with different focuses in life learn to widen there focus, the result is to make each person more rounded and able to handle different situations in life.
In the example of the ESFP and ISTJ, both would be able to see the value all diverging areas of focus if they spend their marriage learning from each other. The specific example is work and play, but this isn't the only way the two would improve.
If I, as an ISTJ, was to marry another ISTJ or an ISFJ, I would be able to grow less as a person because the ISxJs are going to be going to the same place (carrying on with my earlier metaphor). ISTJs ans ISFJ are both heading towards a garden, they just have different ways of getting there and they have preferences for different gardens. Te and Fe are the different paths and the different gardens. Both draw similar conclusions about life and will have similar goals, but their methods of arriving at those conclusions and their methods of reaching those goals with be different. So any compromises between an ISFJ and ISTJ would not cause either to go to a park some of the time and a garden at others, but a compromise would involve taking turns going to different gardens.
When faces a problem, the Te user's approach will be different than the Fe users approach. If the Te and Fe play strong roles in roles in a person's personality, a union of two such individuals is likely to cause arguing or one person dominating the other.
3 young nieces of mine. live with me. My approach to raising them is different than the approach of my sister, the mother. We are both strong Te/ Fe users, so our convictions about our approaches is very firm. Because of the firmness, it has caused arguing.
When approaches differ in marriage one partner must accept the others's solution. Solutions will work the best when they are mutually agreed upon. Some who enjoys making decisions is better off with someone who enjoys accepting decisions. Js go with Ps. J to J will cause fighting and P to P with result in a shortage of decisions and solutions.
There are some hole in my metaphor. Maybe a better example would be you cut two papers in half with a zig zag cut. There will be two paper halfs that are identical but they won't fit together naturally.

Information and Functions
Independently acting here is how the functions work. The perceiving functions (Se, Si, Ne, Ni) are about acquiring information, and the judging functions are about processing information.
Se-
Questions asked:What is this...? What is that?
Function: Observes the facts of a situation.
Si-
Questions asked: How does this past situation compare to this present situation? How do these past situations compare to each other.
Function: observe similarities between situations by comparing the facts of each.
Ne-
Questions asked: What if ...? What if Spongebob was green instead of yellow?
Function: combine information. Take known objects or facts and combine in some way with another fact or object.
Ni-
Questions asked: Why? What caused that to happen?
Function: compares facts and situations with other facts and situations to imagine the cause or reason.
Te-
Questions asked: What is the meaning of this? What is the point? What is the conclusion?
Function: makes an indirect connection of facts to a general conclusion.
Ti-
Questions: How does this work? What makes this happen?
Function: makes a direct connection of facts to a specific conclusion.
Fe-
Questions: What effect will this have ? Will this cause a negative or positive effect?
Function: .makes an indirect connection of facts to a general effect.
Fi-
Questions: Will this be beneficial or harmful? Does this cause a reaction? Was that effective?
Function: makes a direct connection of facts to a specific effect.
Se-
Questions asked:What is this...? What is that?
Function: Observes the facts of a situation.
Si-
Questions asked: How does this past situation compare to this present situation? How do these past situations compare to each other.

The Hobbit: The Case of Bilbo Baggins
Frodo- INFP
Gandalf is an INTP. The P is obvious when he is compared to Saruman an obvious INTJ. When Gandalf tells Saruman about the Necromancer and the potential return of Sauron, Saurman is highly skeptical and assumes it is just a human dabbling in witchcraft. Gandalf is drawn to the innocent and weak Hobbits. He sees character strengths in people that are not visible on the surface. This is why he enlists the help of Bilbo and Frodo both of whom are physically incapable of dangerous combat.

Functional Attraction
Personailtypage.com, a Myers-Briggs website, draws on the concept that a person gets along the best in a relationship with some one of "the same dominant function, but a different attitude,"(introverted or extroverted). A person with Introvert Sensing (Si) as their dominant function is best coupled with someone who has Extroverted Sensing as their dominant (Se). A relationship between an ISTJ and ESFP would be an example of this ideal pairing.
https://www.personalitypage.com/html/partners.html
https://www.personalitypage.com/html/relationships.html
Defining and analyzing what seems attractive according to the dominant functions seems to support this claim.
Fi- Introverted feeling seeks to maintain an internal balance. It dislikes anything that disrupts this balance. It perceives the world through an emotional eye. Everything is understood by how it makes itself feel. Fi perceives things through its feelings. Fi 's perceptions are not attuned to the standards of anyone else. A hairstyle could be widely excepted and Fi will be bothered by it. Fi will desire mates whose appearances and characteristics do not conflict with their internal world of emotional perceptions. This means hairstyles and clothing, as well as offensive behavior can make a big difference in how a companion and others are viewed.
Fe- Seeks for external harmony. Fe dominants will want others to project themselves in a delight-some way and because of this healthy ones will try to project themselves in a pleasant manner as well. They will go to great lengths to dress and style their hair in a fashionable manner. They have instinctive perceptions of what does and does not look good, but they mostly desire to please others and be pleased by others in return. Because of this they are more sensitive to the standards others have for appearance. They will enjoy others who have a sense of style in their outward appearance and in their personality.
The Fe fits in perfectly with the Fi because both will be mindful of the emotions appearance and behavior will cause, yet is allows for grow. The Fi user will learn to care more about how others perceive them, and the Fe will learn to care less.
Ni- Seeks to draw meaning from all it considers and internalize it. It compares everything to this internal framework of data and meaning. Ni values others who can express themselves in a meaningful manner, and have something meaningful to say. Ni dominants value good looks in companions, but there has to be something captivating about the person inside the body other than appearance. Untypical physical characteristics are more likely to be seen as unique and attractive.
Ne- are hopeless romantics. They dare believe a spouse can be perfect. Looks, talents, and brains are all on their list. However, they are more likely than other types to have cross racial marriage. While they value looks they have the ability to over look it if they like the person inside;
Si- The ability to focus intensely on an object or the physical features someone has makes it difficult for looks to not matter; however, Si users understand that they will notice flaws in appearance regardless of how attractive a person initially appears, so they will not require a person to look perfect in order for them to be considered for a relationship. The two Si doms will differ greatly in what they want however. ISTJs will value a partner for there capabilities and loyalty. ISFJs will value an overall togetherness and pleasantness of character.
Se- Finite details can take some time to be noticed. A person may get away with an otherwise unsightly aspect of their appearance so long as it has not grabbed the Se user's attention or they have never deeply considered it a flaw. Se doms do not simply go for good looks, but they need them ( I am exaggerating a bit to make a point)! While they need to like the way their partner looks, their definitions and perceptions of looks are so broad, random, and scattered, that there is no telling who or what they will find attractive.
Ti- full of steam and analyses. Someone equally full of steam and analysis is a must for them.
Te- "I don't care about a pretty face, I want someone who makes me feel good." quoted from an ESTJ, I know, the Lord blessed him with a super hot wife anyway for being so good. This ENTJ girl I know is not the best looking but dates very attractive men. She uses her Se and needs as hot a man she can get and her outgoing Te Ni personality, is resourceful and wise about getting men (Even when she goes to an all girls school!)
Closing words until I update again (which I will!). Dating is not pure luck or talent, but a carefully calculable game. A person with a great strategy and determination, *cough* ENTJ *cough* can get what they want from it. The rest of us have to suck it up and be as smart and hardworking as they are.

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator Explained Simply
Your personality is identified by a grouping of four letters. Each letter has two chooses that depend upon which you naturally have a preference for. To get your personality, decide which letter fits you better than add those up. It looks like this ENTJ. Being both is not an option here. Just decide whichever one fits you more closely.
I or E
S or N
T or F
J or P
which stands for
Introvert or Extrovert
Sensing or Intuition
Thinking or Feeling
Judging or Perceiving
Now let me briefly explain each one.
Introvert or Extrovert
An introvert is more comfortable in a small group than a large.They will keep a lot to themselves unless they are only will one other person or a small group.
An extrovert loves to be around other people, and will feel more comfortable when having a group conversation rather than a one on one.
Sensing or Intuition
A sensor focuses on what they can identity with their senses. They are concrete rather than abstract.
An intuitor will be focused on the meaning of something rather than what they take in with their senses. They tend to be creative and unorthodox.
Thinking or Feeling
Being a thinker does not mean you are emotionless, but that you are less sensitive to emotion. Thinkers often are blunt and gruff, but they have emotional control and find it easier to be objective. Their view of the world is somewhat detached.
A feeler views the world from a more personal angle. They prefer to what makes themselves as well as others happy and are willing to sacrifice objectivity if they feel is it ruining there ability or the ability of others to enjoy life.
Judging or Perceiving.
A judger prefers to have structure and order in their lives. They are happier when the world around them is organized. Because of this they will enjoy having a plan so future events go as smoothly as possible. The down fall to the judging preference is when they have to act without a plan. Most have trouble acting in an reasonable manner when this occurs.
A perceiver prefers to go with the flow. They tend to focus on the present moment. Too much thinking of the future can be tiresome as well as too much seriousness.
This is only the basic and I encourage further research.
