    Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    INTJs are actually one of the least common MBTI types, representing about 2% of the total number of people surveyed, IIRC. And, yes, Es, especially EFs, are far more common than Is, especially ITs.

    Anyone who has been online for a while understands how you can recognize sockpuppetry fairly easily. It's more of an art than a science, but I suspect we all have sussed someone trying to sock up before, and done so easily.

    You probably have a good idea who is using the "Anonymous" anonymous posting option at least 1/3 of the time, if you have read WWP long enough to get accustomed to different posters' word choice, favourite topics, spelling, phrasing, etc. You can guess with a decent degree of accuracy a poster's native tongue, education level, rough age (give or take 5 years), intelligence, aggressive / passive personality, conservative / liberal views, and many other things.

    It is not a perfect test, as my interest in logic / science topics and use of "thinking" verbs rather than "emotional" verbs skews much of my output as "masculine," and I suspect that males talking a lot about their passion for cooking / the arts or how they feel about family, friends, co-workers, etc., might skew as "feminine". Likewise, someone who uses txtspk excessively might or might not be bright, but they will skew as less intelligent.

    In short, you are far more transparent than you think, because you are typically at least partially unaware of certain perceived aspects of your personality other people pick up on easily, and how you "come across" to others (right or wrong). If only everyone could see themselves as others see them...but they can't.

    Simply choosing a different gender username to agree with yourself on a blog or forum is not sufficient to fool someone who has had even the most cursory examination of your output. Your inability to REALLY BE someone else, and to really "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" will always blow your cover. You can't demonstrate you know or have experienced something you don't already know or have not experienced. You can't unlearn what you have learned. You can't convincingly pretend to be from a different part of the country than you are, if there are regional differences in vocabulary or word choice or phrasing; imagine trying to pretend you are from a totally different country.

    Heck, Scientologists can't convincingly pretend to be non-cultists when trying to infiltrate critical websites and forums. Their mindset, vocabulary choice and gaps in knowledge / education (and not just a positive attitude about the cult) always out them, usually quickly. It's cute how they think they are fooling anyone for more than a second.

    Problem is the RFW "member" thinks sock puppets are when you fap with a sock over it, which is what he's really doing while typing out all the supposed different member responses.

    The INTJ is an introvert type personality, so that should reduce the likelyhood of having a whole bunch of them in one place.

    Whatever happened to that cartoon of the kid not being accepted because he's different, and the other kids tell him that L. Ron Hubbard said that the day we're all doing and saying the same things will be the day we can finally have world peace?

    Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    I do know of two forums online that have an unusually high percentage of INTJs. One is run by an extreme INTJ personality and the culture there is thus strongly attractive and welcoming to INTJ types (an MBTI survey--self-reported, of course--resulted in about 18-20% of the forum regulars being INTJs); one is ABOUT INTJs, thus the vast majority of posters are, of course, INTJs there to discuss their own MBTI.

    Also, online interaction is more palatable for extreme I-types. You are likely to find more INTJs looking for clusters of them online than just looking for them in general.

    That said, Random Guy and AnotherSock are correct: an entire forum of one MBTI type (especially INTJ, when the forum subject is not INTJ discussion) is certainly not what one would expect.

    Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    This gadget is great for assessing the 'character' of whole web pages. It's meant to be used to analyze a blog. To study the work of different posters on a forum, you have to make a 'dummy' web page where you copy and paste their entries in.

    And somebody already posted a link to the 'gender guesser'.

    You realize that we sound like a bunch of evil psychlos now? I'm pretty sure that clams aren't allowed to think about the Myers-Briggs Type Index. It would be considered perilously close to the 'Industry of Death', so they have to use the bogus 'Oxford Capacity Analysis' instead.

    Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    Huh! Never got categorized as an ISTP before, and I've taken and retaken the MBTI dozens of times over the years (including two days ago). :)

    Interesting.

    (As for "Weak MALE," I told you my writing skews masculine. Not a surprise. I threw a bunch of recent posts on another website into the gender guessing tool and 75% of them skewed masculine, no "weak" qualifier at all, and 25% told me I was possibly from YUROP. I WAS surprised that a quickly dashed-off, light-hearted post about a craft project and my pet was seen as MALE, while a more dry post about semantics and language in general was seen as strongly FEMALE.)

    I tested it on a blog I got bored with a few months back. It got my type completely backwards, ESFP.

    Again, interesting. Does make me question its accuracy more, though. :)
  27. Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    I got ESTP and weak female (possibly European) for my OP. Lol forever at that.

    Use a PROXY when going in there if you have to read shit.

    And trust me, there isn't anything to read, just some nutjob scilon talking to himself with a few nicnames.

    Tor + NoScript should do the job.

    Interestingly, some sauce files required for the functioning of vBulletin as an actual forum are missing from the server.

    Re: Dear Religious Freedom Watch Forums

    FYI The point of noscript is that it is elementary for somebody to embed a small script in a web page that bypasses your proxy to give you away.
    Then its simple correlation to identify proxied browsers from regular people (assuming that they get any visitors outside of us looking for our breakfast lulz) and mine just those specific IP's from their server logs.

    Weak Male with possible European.

    But no big deal as to a fair extent as the relevant speech patterns there are a learned behaviour. Years of trying to rigidly avoid effeminate behaviour due to abuse don't help.
    Also, I would not be surprised if an unnaturally large proportion of geek proud, interwebz savvy femanons on here show as weak male. Just due to the generally much higher incidence of reading and keeping up with male dominated internet language. A far cry from a few years earlier when the typical girls adolescent social contact was intensive sleep overs and huddled trips to the mall.

    A more interesting experiment is to take samples of your written work over several years to see how the results vary.
    I've noticed that from the time I started regularly attending Chanology raids, I've abruptly gone from about in the middle, but siding generally with female. To measurably more male dominated for example.
