I'm aloof about the alignment systems, to be honest. And those Paladin debates on defining rigid LG systems are stupid. I stay out of those as it isn't worth my time.

It scares me that you selected implosion as your demise of choice. Hope it's not prescience...

EDIT: messy death as TotP??? Eeeps.

Somehow, you always have to remind me that my odd choices will come back to annihilate my characters.

I was struck how we want to categorize each other, both in RL and in PF

Tru dat. We also like creativity, synthesis, and running via overarching concept rather than nitpicky rules. Methinks the rules lawyer types will end up more on the "S" side than the freeflowers.

Hey! I'm not a rules lawyer! No, really. I'm not. Those guys drive me nuts. I do know the rules really well, but that helps me be flexible with them since I can quickly calculate the long-term results of deviating from them and weigh that against the fun factor in just a few seconds to come to a decision about whether allowing something will be a good idea or not. An ability my DMs exploit constantly. Along with my tendency to memorize magic items. Actually my fellow players exploit that one too. I actually hate levelling cause I have to buy everybody's equipment. :/

I think I don't like this test because my mother in law was a school psychologist, and she insisted I take that test, so I am not fond of this test.

Eh, you're too tough to be imploded... I think. At least, too tough for Pathfinder implosion.

lol. I know. But I'm usually the one in favor of loosening the rules. The guys running the game just want some assurance that doing that isn't gonna break everything. They like to take advantage of my ability to calculate likely scenarios quickly.

I don't know how to deal with the whole build my character for me nonsense. Gotta learn to say no more often. :/

Makes sense.

I've taken it fifty bajillion times at work. They always bring it in like it's the Holy Grail of productivity. While I do find it useful, I'm annoyed they won't let me say "I'm an INTP." No, its always "Take it again. People change over the years." Pffft, I took it last month. Morons.

I'm well away from cubicle land.

Is latent serial killer one of the 16 different personality types? :P

That would be the "INTP" type.

@Lynora

You're actually preaching at the choir in my case. I'm typically the first to want to loosen the rules as well. Your words actually echo mine in many cases; I'd much rather see everyone have fun than stick to the rules if the two couldn't coexist. I also find myself constantly giving "suggestions" as well.

I am an ENTP, apparently. Although I've come up as INTP before, so either I've changed a bit (which is possible), or I'm just in an E mood.

Exactly. And everyone has so much more fun that way. But I'm not allowed to play with rules lawyers anymore. The war of attrition after I lose my temper and smile and say okay have it your way and then proceed to break the game by following the rules exactly to the letter is pretty hard on the DM. Who has learned to intervene early as it usually takes at least three sessions before I lose my temper. :P

It's so nice out. Do I really have to work for 3 more hours? It's sunny about 73, and I'm inside.

Oh well, at least I got to enjoy it on my 2 hour lunch that I'm putting down as 30 minutes...

I guess I'm a bit of a dick, but there was no war of attrition in many of my cases. Another part of being INTP is the all or nothing mentality. <shrug>

Are you paid by the hour, or do you have to fill out a timesheet? That kinda sucks if you're salaried and have to fill out a timesheet.

Woodraven, I reserved the hotel room for PaizoCon!

"Weird" is one of my favorite words because of how it breaks spelling conventions. We all know "I before E, except after C, or when sounding as A as in neighbor and weigh." But "weird" doesn't fit. It also doesn't account for the "I" sound of some words derived from German, like "height", "geist", and so on. But I digress...
