Hey guys, one of the reasons why I do this is to get feedback and see how right or wrong I am in analyzing people. So please, tell me how I did. That'd be helpful.
By the way, Matt, I'm going to start with the people who are signed up here before getting to your two guys.
You're welcome. :D The UED and Conclave aren't races, but I'll let it slide.Quote:

Romance: Sort of, but not in the classic sense. You're more of a dark person, and anyone who is with you is going to have to have a darker, somewhat sarcastic view of life as well, so that the both of you can make fun of the serious/idealistic aspects of life together. Basically, you want someone you have a connection with, and you're not really interested in sensitive girls. You prefer someone very assertive.
Typing: You are absolutely not an idealistic type of person, at least in the normal sense. In fact, you sometimes mock idealistic, "imperialistic" things. You root for the underdog, hate organized religion, and prefer small villages to great civilizations. Your sense of individualism is not redneck in nature -- "you can have yours so long as you don't mess with mine" -- but rather more like a rebel's -- "I will destroy your institution should it violate my personal principals of morality". You prefer gaining things for yourself rather than expecting someone else to do it for you, and if you can't attain something, you go without and don't complain. I'm guessing you're an ENFJ or an INFJ.
Leadership: Sure, but generally you only lead people who think like you do. You're not a Rational (think Myers Briggs), and so your valuing of emotion over logic repels many intellectuals, while your grim, pessimistic worldview repels many classic idealists. However, that's more "large scale" leadership, which would come into play if you were a leader of many and influencing people based purely on your ideas. For day to day leadership positions, like school projects or work assignments, you generally just work to get things done. You're an efficient leader, who is good at balancing a good job without being an obsessive perfectionist. People like working for you in this way, because they get to show their individual skills and you never micromanage or nag them.
Dislikes: The statement "it's for the greater good" really gets on your nerves, as you expect that to be an excuse for poor behavior. You also can't stand it when people complain about their lives. Everyone's got hardships, so being a victim doesn't make anyone special. As a reverse to that, you admire people who overcome their hardships to gain what they desire. Those that blindly follow the machinations of others are idiots to you.
Personality issues: The trouble with your destructive, negative worldview is that it's not constructive. It doesn't lift anyone up, create economic opportunities, or encourage the depressed. In fact, depending on your actions, it can be very devastating to yourself and others, leading them in ways that only inspire bitterness and strife. You're very good at arguments, but not so good at ending them peacefully.
Advice: Apply your skills to good. Remember, it's foolish to destroy something purely because you hate it. Either there needs to be a replacement for the institution you dislike (society isn't as independent as you, and economics works when people work together), or a way for people to recover when said institution is gone. Good is not the lack of evil, but rather the existence of things that bless others. That's why people can be happy even in imperfect societies.
Notes: Liking of Zerg implies humor and non-idealism. Disliking the UED and Conclave indicates a hate of institutions, imperialism. The Overmind, Zeratul, and Infested Kerrigan are all characters who decide for themselves what they want to do, and go for it with absolute determination. They obey no one but themselves -- even Zeratul's respect for Raszagal is purely voluntary on his part, as she doesn't appear to control him, but let him do as he wants.
As opposed to DuGalle, Raynor, and Duke, whose goals are not at all clear, not even to themselves. They also obey things that are not themselves. DuGalle is bound by his duty to Earth. Raynor is bound by his sense of morality and lack of self-confidence. Duke cares more about surviving than achieving anything, even to the point of being willing to serve someone who very obviously sees other people as tools.
Bah, you're welcome. I better dang get some free cookies out of this.Quote:

Romance: Absolutely. You're lovable, cuddly, and care very much about women (assuming you're a dude). You're in touch with your sensitive side, and while you can be described as a little dorky, there's no reason why you can't date. Unless you're one of those wimpy guys that never asks anyone out. Seriously, if you talk to girls long enough, they'll be interested.
Typing: ESFP? ESTP? Something very friendly but not tolerant of bad things. You have a strong view of how life should be, and strong words for those that see selfish means as legitimate reasons to screw up society. You're also a very obvious person. You don't have dark secrets or inner wounds that are so devastating that you can't speak of them to others. Actually, you're really open, and don't mind sharing some of your dark side if it helps you understand others, and others understand you. You like to be surrounded by people who are fun, cool, and relaxed. You're not a literary personality.
Leadership: Sure. You can see where people are useful and know how they should perform to finish a task. Or can learn to. Your way of leadership is emotional, meaning you can get people to follow you if they feel that you sympathize with them. This won't work with everyone, but it will work with enough people to matter. It really hinges on how mature you are and how much you've learned to observe others. You're better at motivation than strategy.
Dislikes: You hate being tricked or lied to. You believe in fair fights, and when someone cheats or uses a clever tactic you didn't think of, that pisses you off. You hate being around those that stress out about details, or don't hear you out, or make you feel unintelligent.
Personality issues: You're not all that great at telling when people lie, and you don't really have a lot of tolerance for strong opposing worldviews. Not that a strong personality is a problem for you, or even someone who disagrees. But when they're both at the same time, plus unwilling to listen, it's hard for you to put up with them. While you want to like everyone, there are plenty of people you find unlikable. Now if only they would listen to you!
Advice: Be more flexible, and let go. Sometimes people are just going to disagree, and there's no point in getting upset about it. Getting upset is something that pleases the people you dislike being around, and they use it as "proof" that they're better than you (or so it may seem). Avoid such people until you can stop being paranoid about their intentions. Most of the time, such people aren't trying to attack you. And even if they are, don't focus on them. Focus on people who are cool, constructive, and fun. Also, it helps to show tolerance to intolerable people. They crave respect and esteem, and giving it to them makes them listen to you.
Notes: Liking Protoss implies idealism, good ideals, quests for better. Disliking none means liking and accepting many. Horner, Tassadar, and Fenix are all optimistic good guys, who, despite all odds, pursue good no matter what is ahead of them or how bad things may seem. Duke, Kerrigan, and Niadra are all selfish bad guys who give up on optimism to do whatever they please. Duke trades concern for others for his own personal survival and esteem, Kerrigan is fearful of her past and believes only in revenge, and Niadra too easily accepts separation from the Swarm to go on her quest to kill 'Toss.
Favorite race: Protoss
Disliked race: Terran
Favorite characters: Artanis, Valerian, Tosh
Least favorite characters: Narud, Zeratul (sc2), Kerrigan (sc2)
Ugh, I feel like poo.
Okay, I will do the two people I have left to analyze, but guys, let me say this. Part of the reason why I do this is to get feedback. Basically, I'd like you to say something about how accurate what I said about you is. And yes, cursing me out for implying weird things about your character does count as feedback.
For now, I'm going to chill and hope my head stops hurting. Be back later.
Well your assessment of me was pretty spot on. Not sure what else I could say. Except I fear no woman, and thus your statement to "ask the girl out" was incredibly off-putting.
Favorite Race: Zerg
Disliked Race: None
Favorite Characters: Abathur, Raynor(sc1,BW), Overmind(sc1,BW without SC2 retcon)
Least Favorite Characters: Selendis, Warfield, Zurvan
Ah, sorry. Well, nothing I said was meant to be taken personally.Quote:

Themes: straightforwardness, boldness, determination, ultimate optimism, light over dark, confidence over desperation.Quote:

You're the sort of guy that shows up at her door with flowers and chocolates, only to find out that she's upset about something you didn't realize.
Typing: You're probably extroverted. I'm guessing an ESTP. You're probably not fond of reading books, as you would rather do things than sit down for hours with your head in the clouds. You're not a complicated person at all, and you like being around friendly people who see the things the same way you do. While you can be determined about protecting who and what you love, you're not always the most serious person. Though you have high expectations for yourself, and you generally only do things you believe in.
Leadership: Yes, very much. Your drive and determination, as well as disdain for drama, means that you like to concentrate on the job at hand. You do care about people too, so if you sense there is a problem with your team, you like to try and work it out if you know how to. For you a job is not simply something you do for money, but rather a way for you to accomplish a greater purpose or goal.
Dislikes: You do not sympathize with desperate people. Too often they use their circumstances to justify bad ideas, and that doesn't sit well with you. You also hate working a job where you can't work on something which goes along with what you believe in, or working on something that proves ultimately useless.
Personality issues: You're too idealistic. There is a dark side to everyone, if they allow it to show. As it is, you have trouble with disagreements and seeing things through perspectives other than your own, and while you don't mind showing sensitivity when necessary, you don't always know how to solve disagreements with other people when these disagreements arise out of how to accomplish something rather than on an emotional basis.
Advice: Make sure you listen to others, so that you have an understanding of their opinion. Even if you don't agree with them or have no intention of putting their opinion into action, people will respect you more if they know that you will at least hear them out.
Notes: Your liking of Protoss indicates idealism and optimism. Disliking no one means you don't wish bad things on other people. Tassadar, Fenix, and Warfield are all optimistic, simplistic (from a literary perspective), and full of passion. Duke, Kerrigan, and Raynor are complicated characters who are often in situations of desperation, and are never fully in control of their surroundings, despite a desire to do so.
I used to be nervous around girls, actually most people, because I'm incredibly ugly yet brilliant, so pretty much everyone bullied me. But I eventually realized you can't reasonably hate someone for something they have little to no control over, which is why racism or sexism makes no logical sense, yet its perfectly valid to criticize someone on their religious or political beliefs because they choose that path. Once I simply accepted what I couldn't change and stopped caring what anyone else thought of me, combined with the natural maturation and acceptance of the populace post high school, I was able to open up enough to function in society even though I'm still an introvert. Which makes my tale so very common, it seems.Quote:

Romance: You could be, if you cared about it more. Right now you just want to accomplish things, gain knowledge, and seek out your destiny. Anyone you date or marry has to be on the same path with you.
Typing: You're definitely introverted and intuitive. You like to think about things and solve problems, and it can sometimes pull you out of the real world. You notice inconsistencies and illogic quite easily, and you are also good at telling when someone is talking bullcrap. You're very good at disregarding nonsense. Right now you feel like you're on the cusp of something greater, but you're not sure how to achieve it. You're very open and non-judgmental, so long as no one says anything overtly stupid. Then it's judging time.
Leadership: To a degree. You're more of a co-leader than a pure leader at this point, and people who see your intelligent side will listen. You prefer to remain a lower authority, someone who has another person to turn to when things get complicated or you're not sure what the best option is. You work well with other leaders, and if you happen to be working on a project with someone else who also has authority, you show them respect and don't get offended if they have ego issues.
Dislikes: Stupid things. No really, you can't stand things that have been corrupted and mangled into something illogical. You hate historical revisionists, or people who don't read books trying to correct you.
Personality issues: Chances are you don't stand up for yourself enough. You try to be reasonable and understand everything, but reason doesn't always save the day. There's a time and a place to be unreasonable, and to not let other people make choices for you.
Advice: Make goals and take initiative. Because you like to observe, you don't always take actions that change your surroundings. The purpose to gathering information is to act on it, and you're going to have to step forward if you want to do so.
Notes: Liking Protoss indicates idealism and desire for knowledge, as well as a forward outlook. Disliking none indicates the enjoyment of all things. Artanis, Valerian, and Tosh are all sub-leaders. Artanis is too young to have as much authority as he does, and he depends heavily on Zeratul during his few appearances. Valerian is a prince rather than emperor, and has no problem being bossed by Raynor or Kerrigan, as is appropriate for his particular situation. Tosh leads his spectres, but is subordinate to Raynor. Narud, SC2 Kerrigan and SC2 Raynor are all bastardizations of what were once complex characters.

Themes: Seems right, but I'm not sure what you mean by rising upwards movement.
Romance: On the contrary I care about it a good deal, but past romances just got in the way of the "path" I want.
Typing: seems right.
Leadership: I suppose I do try to be a co-leader, only in so much that I give input to those in charge so they make good decisions. With leave, I go about resolving problems by myself.
Dislikes: Nailed it on the head. Whenever I talk to others on the internet, like say making a comment on facebook or youtube, some donut chimes in with assbackwards reasoning and it becomes like talking to bricks (yes not even a wall).
Personality issues: I seem frozen by indecisiveness often.
Advice: Thank you for the advice.
Notes:I think you meant sc2 Zeratul instead of Raynor, but Raynor fits in there as well I suppose. It just seems the sins of their writing tainted Zeratul far worse than they did Raynor. And did you take into account I dislike terrans? I saw your bottom line read liking protoss and disliking none, but I'm guessing it was just a typo.
You are pretty observant
That only works on a certain kind a woman. A very specific and rare breed seldomly seen or heard from.Quote:
Talking to women respectfully and sensitively is the secret to never being alone.
All the other girls only respond to you if you're an absolute dick and treat them like they're shit. Oh, and money. Lots of money. If you don't have it, just fake it. But, above all else, be a fucking asshole. Ignore any good natured instinct you have and do the exact opposite of whatever you feel would be appropriate. If you ever get to where the urge to compliment her or to offer your help is too strong, save yourself some pain and just kick yourself in the balls before you make a mistake you'll regret for the rest of your life.

I've rarely pulled the asshole guy routine and still have had decent luck with women. A woman doesn't want someone who can be walked over, just someone who has a life of their own, ambitions, a sense of humor and isn't afraid to tease. Sure, the asshole routine will get some ladies interested, but those are NOT the women you want -- TRUST ME. O_O
Maybe you guys should stop aiming for depressive high school girls.
I see one who is bitter from the tribulations of the cliched bullcrap woman. Or you live in California (where I'm from, we call that the Land of the Fruit and Nuts). Any woman who is really like that isn't worth being with, or is for men who don't want close relationships.Quote:

All you have to do is talk to a woman with genuine honesty and expect nothing in return. You don't even ask her out until you've known her for a while. See, all girls instantly know before you ask whether they would go out with you or not. That's why men with good looks and money appear to have the advantage, because they make good first impressions (and possibly mess things up later). But even if you don't make a good first impression, being a sensitive listener and good friend will get her to change her mind.
@Jconant Oops, I missed the disliking Terran part. That's probably why I fudged up some of your stuff. All in all though, you were fairly easy to read. You're a lot like Artanis, except not militaristic. That is, you have some leadership ability, you think disdainful things about humanity, and you're an adorable doofus.
Oh, and don't worry about the themes part. That's more my notes to make sure what I say is consistent. The upwards movement part means something like you want more knowledge, and that you have a lot of potential to do good things and gain power.
Oh man, I am having a time. Being sick is awful. If I'm extra wonky this go-round, that's why.Quote:

Romance: To a degree. You're not super suave, but you're not a creeper either. You're not really into classic romance, like the whole "flowers and chocolates" thing. Sure, it's cute and all, but you'd rather have the type of girl where you guys do stuff like ride dirtbikes, talk videogames, and just chill on the couch with beers (or tea, if you prefer). Romance for you is not to meet some high ideal, but to find a girl that likes doing the stuff you like to do.
Typing: You certainly admire power and independence, but at the same time you're not hugely driven by motivations of your own. Basically you like it when people achieve high levels of success wherever they happen to be talented, and even like them if they fail, if the failure is due to outside circumstances. No one's a better friend to those who tried and didn't quite make it. You have no qualms in celebrating other people's success. You have a very "beer" personality, which means you're friendly, open, and unpretentious. You're very crafty, and you like figuring out how things work. Not in an abstract, intellectual sort of way, but in the pragmatic, "I wonder how how this machine works" way. Basically, you investigate to gain information about what is, not to estimate that which could be. Um, ESTP, maybe? ISTP?
Leadership: At most you'll lead your friends, and by "lead" I mean being the wild guy who happens to be in front, or the guy who suggests a road trip somewhere. You respect other people by allowing them to lead themselves, and find it disrespectful to try and take that away from them. At most, you facilitate your friends, not try to make them do what you say.
Dislikes: Trite cliches and mystic quotations. You don't see the world as a mystical collection of fate's whimsy. You just see it as a chance to do what you please. Therefore, anyone who is overly obsessed with mysticism and acting on idealistic cliches rather than on intelligent motives is dumb to you. You're also not all that big on history. However, you're usually pretty tolerant of even these people, as any person can convince you of his opposing viewpoint if his life proves that his ideas work out in real life. If his ideas don't work out, then he needs to stop trying to hypnotize you with his cliched voodoo nonsense. Words won't convince you where actions can't. And you very hate being told what to do.
Personality issues: Sometimes you question your own motivations and talents. Sure, you're a cool person, but character doesn't always translate to marketable abilities, and that's a thing you have to figure out. Also, your favorable personality traits lead to a form of tolerance -- essentially, leaving other people alone. You have trouble understanding that there are appropriate times to not leave people alone, and how to interact with a person whose behavior you know is unacceptable without arguing. For that reason, you generally avoid conflicts with people who aren't directly opposed to you.
Advice: You need to learn to trust, even when knowledge itself is unclear. You can't know everything when you make a choice, and all endeavors involve some form of risk. You need to trust your own abilities, you need to trust others, and you need to understand the importance of ideals and faith. If I say God, will you be offended? Meh, offending people is fun. Really, you need to enjoy the beauty and oddity of life, and take a break from being so pragmatic all the time.
Notes: Liking Zerg indicates humor and pragmatism. Disliking none means acceptance of others for what they are. Abathur, Raynor, and the Overmind are all people who are independent, and do whatever they want regardless of how other people feel. Abathur works on other species without asking permission. Raynor befriends Protoss and fights with them without care of how it makes him look to other humans. The Overmind, well, he doesn't give a fig for anyone's opinion but his own, and would have taken over the universe if he hadn't been stopped. Selendis, Warfield, and Zurvan are all cliche spouting, bossy, and shallow characters who attempt to emotionally manipulate the player into caring about them or doing what they want you to do.
I aim for the "top model chicks" around South Beach. I didn't even aim for high school girls when I was in high school. Perks of a famous beach being a few blocks away. I am sooooo the exact opposite of bitter you don't understand. I like it simple. All things simple. Especially emotions.Quote:
Maybe you guys should stop aiming for depressive high school girls.
Also, not sure this needs to be said (if it does, it shouldn't) but JOKE! At least, half joking. Call me George Carlin.
I don't even have close to enough time for that shit. My personality, circumstances, and career all require me to get ghost for weeks at a time on regular intervals. Plus, the share price of lady parts has plummeted in recent quarters. The market is over saturated and flooded with discounted inventory. Supply and demand. No need to overpay for a cheap, available product.Quote:
You don't even ask her out until you've known her for a while.
And, to Nissa, since you're new, just know, I am almost never, ever serious. If given the choice between stating something plain and not saying anything at all, I usually chose to just go do something else. I'm no womanizer although I do make jokes. It'll take time to get used to this I knoew. Khas, I dunno, he's been here long enough but he still keeps falling into the same traps.
I think it's endearing. Like in a 1960s slap-stick cartoon sort-of-way. :pQuote:
Khas [...]l keeps falling into the same traps.
It certainly is. But, it does also help keep me clear. There's a lot of hidden meanings in what I post that I'm sure almost no one gets. For example, in my last post, I doubt anyone caught the subtle commentary on society today with the phrase "top model chicks". With that, I was referring to the women who think they're hot shit and go out of their way to get meaningless attention. Pretty sure everyone read that as me going after just hot girls. Oh well, keeps everyone on their toes. You never know when I'll sneak up on ya!
Your problem is you're too subtle, or pander to the wrong demographic. Do you really think anyone here, on a dying SC fansite, actually cares about America's Top Model? Of course not. We care more about the other meanings of ATM. If you really want to get streets ahead on this site you need to chang your ways and embrace your inner nerd.Quote:

In this case, I was just showing how there's more to my comments than is immediately apparent using an example still in the conversation. I keep it subtle because, like your perspectives on the world, no one cares, not even myself, and it bogs down more meaningful conversation. I wouldn't have even mentioned it if Nissa weren't new here and needing an introduction before there's misunderstandings.
So, with that out of the way, I think the real question is, on a dying SC fansite, do you really think anyone cares about your obsession with fake, animated, deformed women, especially in a conversation about REAL women?
Yes. Yes I do. Case and point:Quote:

Okay then, Nissa, who's your favorite comedians?
I wonder why :D I can respect George Carlin but only in small doses and he's far from a go-to comedian for me. He'll be funny for a while, but then he'll reach a joke that was only made possible because he has so stupidly simplified the problem to the point of absurdity. His humor works best for me when it cuts through the bullshit and makes a point, not when he is purposefully dense and ignorant, which basically cuts out most of his recent work.Quote:

Neil Patrick Harris, though, I don't understand how anyone can not like him for his comedy. I'm curious, why don't you like him. This should be legen--- wait for it ....

Get ready to judge me in 3...2...1...
The real trouble with NPH is his hype. I hate few things worse than overpraised things. He's got this acting persona that presumes he can get any girl he wants, no matter what role he's actually in. Seriously, look at the roles he does. So it feels like he's rubbing everyone's face if he were after girls, he'd put all the rest of the guys to shame because they're scumbags in comparison, while he's a sensitive little bunny. I don't know if this persona was created by him or his over-zealous fans, but it feels extremely arrogant. That, and so many people love him when he hasn't done anything that great. NPH and Alec Baldwin just make me nauseous.
To sum it up, I guess I dislike NPH because the Hollywood crowd expects me to. Alec Baldwin is pretty arrogant too, but he doesn't quite have the hype so it's not quite as bad.

You know NPH is gay married right?
1) Neil is gay. Very gay, in fact.
2) The persona you speak of is the result of his terrific work on the show 'How I Met Your Mother'. Just a few years ago his persona was mostly in black movies as just that annoying white guy that black people tolerated because he's entertaining. Then he went on to having some better roles, and then finally what we see today. The point being, is that he tends be known ONLY for one particular role at any given time even though he does much more.
3) His role is satire. Poor and simple. His lifestyle is not glorified in HIMYM since it mostly gets him in trouble, most of the episodes are spent laughing at him, and many episodes are spent building up to the moment where he repents of his ways.
4) He's the straight equivalent of the guys from Will & Grace or Modern Family. Straight guys playing guy guys better than gay guys can play themselves, and, with Neil, a gay guy playing a straight guy better than a straight guy can. It works very well in a comedic setting.
