RWED has finally rubbed off on D, I see

Congratulations on joining the rest of the pissed off human race

I'm in a bad mood and tired. Chemical warehouse fire 4am Tuesday and me and my branch got steam burned and my shoulders and back are itchy like I got poison ivy, but I can't even rub it let alone scratch.

Also tired of people who act like an idiot rather than actually read and take the time to understand or think.

How's the leg? Hope you are on blood thinners and not like me when I got hit by that drunk back in 2012 and broke my leg. I got clots and swelling so bad just before I got out of the splint the skin on my leg split.

Take care.

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face;
With stars to fill my dream;
I am a traveler of both time and space;
To be where I have been

I gave you the author and title of the book that includes her references to studies by the APA, National Sciences, a number of University psychiatric and psychological professors, and even two national head hunting agency directors, most that can be found at the APA web site or University libraries and in an actual book store.

Oh wait, silly me, you want interweb sites that are free because you're too cheap to buy an actual book and physically read something besides an executive summary on some web page.
Sorry, her book is $13.00 (easily found at Chapters if either of you can get your fat lazy asses off your computer chair) and some of the research papers on the APA website are up to $30.00, but I'm sure neither one of you will ever spend a penny on actual verified and validated documents let alone read and understand them.

In fact, both of you can take your shit attitudes and your lack of reading skills and any intelligence and go f*** yourself.

Both of them must be like 150 years old and just miserable all the time. Sick of seeing their BS on the forums... can't be an intelligent conversation on the forums without one or the other posting their BS.

Wow. I hope YOU don't think you have any insight into how people tick! Because you really missed the mark!

Personally, I went to google scholar, found a number of links to research papers and skimmed through them. But YOU seem to think you know a lot about the topic, so I was hoping for something that would be relatively immediate that would be a fair representation of what YOU know.

I gather from your response that what you know, and can specifically point to, is one book --- and only one book?

The test probably shouldn't be used for any serious things like career building, at least not on its own merits.

It may have been state-of-the art a few decades ago. It was administered - along with IQ tests, the MMPI, a job-satisfaction test, and a number of other tests, by genuine psychologists, when I went to pick my next career, back in the day.

As for actual books ... my eyes have just about given out. If I can't super-enlarge it, I can't read it. At least, not very well, or very quickly.

Speaking of attitude - you did a pretty good job taking a mild request for links, and what COULD have been an interesting discussion, and turning it into an opportunity to attack someone you really don't know. You have problems, the very least of which is you're an everyday sadist who likes to troll. So what's with you REVERSE? You seem to feel threatened.

Also, I sure hope you don't have professional access to anyone's psyche. And I truly feel sorry for your family. My god, what they have lived with!

Care to try addressing the facts, again?

Or do you shoot nothing but blanks?

No, unlike you I don’t judge people, but I recognize an idiot when I see one. But thanks for proving my point that the only research you do is on the internet, (really, google scholar?) and are dense enough to believe whatever you find there.

Again, you are still unable to read, to understand or to think and post drivel in order to reply rather than to demonstrate you actually have any intelligence or insight. You must be one of those people who read something and take it at face value and never look at anything else to verify or confirm. Have you ever followed up and looked at references to see that they say? I suspect you are one of the former rather than the latter type individual and why you suggest I only read one book and can only point to one book.
I hope your job is something mindless and simple and no one has to rely on you for anything that takes any level of intelligence or insight. Hopefully, something involving handling feces with your bare hands.

Myers-Briggs was never “state of the art”, it’s a simple test used by simple people who don’t have any ability to think – and yes I am referring to human resource people and career counselors (and really how much of a failure in life are you if your job is career counselor?).

And if you must know, a very intelligent young man I know who is currently being scouted by the NFL was advised by a “career counselor” that he was more suited to pursue a different career based on the results of the Myers-Briggs test. I also found out that the City where I work uses it as part of the hiring process for fire fighters and a very intelligent young man I expected to see hired and on my department last year came and saw me again recently to gain some insight into trying to “pass” the test so he can get hired as a fire fighter (my department is currently hiring again). Apparently, some HR drone seems to think he wouldn’t be a “good fit”.
So I went to the University and met with the Academic Head of the Department of Psychology and not only did he discuss the test with me, he gave me the book, provided me his access to the various research papers and answered all my questions and even offered to help both of the two young men I know in pursuing their chosen careers.
Why? It’s kind of a perk one University professor does for another even though we teach (I should say “taught” as I retired in February 2017 to allow a very intelligent young lady to gain a position that I am sure will lead to tenure) in different departments.

And if you have gotten similar results from the test over a long period, then you really must have absolutely zero personality because you have never changed.

So again, take your crappy attitude and how you think you are so superior in intellect than anyone else on the forums with your obtuse posts and shove them.

Yes it's true. The two of them have made it impossible to have a real discussion. What they do is different from what the ideologues do. At least they're consistent. Nuts, but consistent. SIG and 1kikis' opinions on similar topics are inconsistent from thread to thread. That's because they cut and paste lies and subterfuge. It's easier than actually trying to understand a topic and converse honestly on it.

Again, it's nice to see you here. Another voice of reason is always appreciated.

You mean like original research done by actual psychologists published through pubmed? OH! I GET IT! YOU would much prefer the armchair psychology of a popular paperback! Written by someone who's not even a psychologist! "Annie Murphy Paul is a magazine journalist and book author." Yes, THAT'S your intellectual speed!

Is that your non-judgmental trait again? Or your complete inability to comprehend what people here are actually like? Or both?

All the time.

Career counselors? Do they administer and interpret in-person IQ tests? MMPIs? The JSS? Speaking of not being able to read ... or think ...

So, oh wise one - show me where I said the Myers-Briggs test was a good thing. I never defended its use in this day and age, or its sole use in any setting, or the results from it. But you're such a dolt you never noticed.

I chose dumbfounded amazement. Then, I see, you decided to double-down on assholeness with this little gem

Wow. Say, did YOU "pass the test"??

But, back to your personal situation

Yanno, we have a group of volunteers in our lab who take person-portable GC MS FIDs on incident response to look for strange chemicals in the air. We're not even qualified or trained to go into the hot zone but even then we're a little creeped out by the chemicals that MIGHT be in the air. Firefighters boldly go in where chemists fear to tread. I hope you took proper precautions. Firefighters have higher rates of cancer than the general population. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/pgms/worknotify/pdfs/ff-cancer-factsheet-fin

Wow, that must have sucked. I had an injury that I thought would split the skin over my knee, and comforted myself by thinking "that doesn't happen". Good thing I didn't know then what I just found out now!

I wondered that myself!

I posted an innocuous post about a personality test ... just like I posted an innocuous post about Acrush .... repeatedly try to cool down the rhetoric .... and "certain people" decided to go into "personal attack mode" ... which seems to be a reflex with them. It happens every time, no matter HOW inconsequential or harmless the post. Honestly, it's like they can't control themselves.

Seems to happen to the hag sisters a lot doesn't it? Say, you don't suppose there's a connection? Like, maybe their really good at pissing people off? You think it's a gift or just natural talent they have? Kind of ironical it happened in a thread about 'personality.'

==============================

Yes, it is. This whole forum is a personality test, and we found out who the bullies are. People who are so righteous they think it excuses bad behavior.

I admit, I did that myself, but now I only bite back when I've been bitten.
