It started as just trying to write a joke and my main priority was finding words that would a) spell a pronounceable syllable in every configuration b) make sense as opposites c) sound kind of esoteric and open to interpretation
But then I found I could actually sum up people I know pretty well with it and decided to see if I could come up with labels that feel like they reflect those combinations in some way, just as a challenge
I landed on interpreting S as being precise/adept/calculating, G as expressive/inexact/intuitive, E as proactive/present/assertive, A as thoughtful/ruminative/passive, L as inward/contained/solitary, R as outward/social/connected. P and M are pretty self explanatory, just whether you lean towards/identify with positivist and/or rational thought or magical/strange thought more

The concept is interesting but I object to some of the labels you have ascribed to the initialisms. For instance, why did you choose the label "Philosopher King" for SARP? Change it to just King or Administrator or Rex (in following your esoteric motif). Philosophers are metaphysical/unworldy/spiritual. Kings are physical/worldly/temporal.

[Anonymous No.14651833]

>>14651791
Yeah I’m not 100% satisfied with all the labels, mostly warrior, philosopher king, and elder. The things I’m trying to get at are specific and my vocabulary’s limited
My thinking for SARP was that it’s someone who’s very analytical, logical, enjoys spending time thinking, but is also very interconnected and sociable, so often has a deep understanding of people and their needs, plus how to interact with them

[Anonymous No.14651868]

>>14651606
How is theurgic S or E? Theurgy is about attaining unity with the One, after the self dies, through contemplation with intuitive thinking; transcendence means suprarational, and it happens after the self dies, and doing this is not really an exact science, something you can just deduce.

My reasoning was SALM = esoterist = careful mystical thought, SELM = theurgic = performative mystic rituals
And GELM = tantrist = primal, experiential ritualism, SELM = theurgic = structured, procedural ritualism
You’re right that it’s a stretch though

>This is no more snake oil than MBTI is
Fucking duh, it’s even less valid because I know nothing about psychology, I’m just taking shots in the dark
MBTI isn’t unscientific because it can’t meaningfully express something about a person, it’s based of self-reporting. It’s a summation of statements a person made about his or herself. It’s unscientific because it has no predictive ability whatsoever, is discrete instead of continuous, and doesn’t cover widely observed personality dimensions like neuroticism

You just said yourself that it has no predictive ability whatsoever. MBTI wouldn't be any dumber if it was made by a guy living in a tent under the manhattan bridge.

When did I say anything otherwise?
