To Gigi, your type

"I will gladly satisfy your curiosity, but please carry this question to any other board together with your views on the following:

1- How would a 3 behave *on the boards,* (not in real life) according to you?
2- What am I doing to give the idea, feeling that I am some type other than a 3?

The answers to these will make my reply more to the point."

Ok,

1. It would depend on what that Three wants to be and what s/he would find like a desirable image. So, in that respect it's more about having a certain style, maintaining it and getting positive feedback for having it.

2. I'm not saying that you necessarily are of some other type, just that the feeling I get from you is not that I'd expect from talking to a three.

But some things that make me think: Your reaction when I started moderating the board. I wouldn't have expected something like that, and the power issue is the only possible way I can explain it. You reacted to someone having control over you.

That thread where you talked about privacy and the nightmarish situation of a Four blabbering everything said in a private conversation to everone else. Now, why would a Three tell anything s/he wouldn't want to spread in *any* kind of conversation, private or otherwise? I'd assume that a Three's wish to maintain an image would be constantly present, that there wouldn't be an "image on, image off" switch.

You have mentioned that you have gotten very angry in certain situations, in traffic, for example. Now, it could be you're just saying that, but I don't think so. I also know it is possible for a Three to be very hostile (in fact, that's one of the traits of a Three under stress) but the situation sound like something where it would be unlikely.

I haven't really seen anything that I would label as self-image validation but I've seen some strong opinions that necessarily won't cause any positive response.

That's what I'm thinking at the moment. Next I want to see your reply before saying anything else.
