Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.

This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it’s just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you’ve driven away someone who could’ve been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.

There’s nothing prideful about this to flex over.

      I got that outcome from MB a couple of times and happened across an entire INTJ web forum. It was a hive of insufferable incel twats. Next time I did business person astrology I got a different result.

        I don’t understand the strong drive people have to be put into a box in general. I get how getting a result that says only 2% of the population share it and that can make you feel unique and rare, but it’s still really stripping away a lot of the complexity of being human, no?

        I remember getting ENTJ as a young teenager that completely bought that this was real and valid and being low key kinda hurt and trying not to show it.

          I often play devils advocate and I get your feeling but then there is also peoples drive to understand themselves. Who they are and how they function. this technically does that. I mean the trans and neurodivergent folk do it all the time along with furries.

              what makes it not real. that people have personality tendencies? I mean I don’t really know what that thing is I sorta assumed it was like disc or being a type A or whatnot.

                I bet you get a lot of people really, really mad playing devil’s advocate for things you know nothing about, but I do appreciate the honesty lmao

                  well context in conversations suggests things. Like this suggests a personality testing type. So yeah assumptions were made.

      The only personality test I will accept is your ideal Magic: The Gathering EDH deck and commander.

      Nothing exposes someone’s whole soul like that does.

        Damn. You’re dropping truth bombs.

        But I’m not sharing mine, both because it is embarrassing, and I would dox myself as the world’s 3rd worst MTG player.

          You’re in a safe space, my perfect deck is a partners Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist and Bjorna, Nightfall Alchemist running an izzet Rube Goldberg of edge case artifacts with obscure rules that build 4-8 piece combo engines that only sometimes win the game after I twiddle a bunch of cards.

          My follow up and less messy deck is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death with a toys theme from duskmourn. I want to do alters for all the cards so the legends look like creepy children and everything else looks like toys.

      That whole personality test thing is bullshit anyways. Any quiz online that claims to evaluate your IQ, your personality .etc are no different than the many many social media quizzes we saw, that determined what Harry Potter house you belonged to.
