Werewolf and Enneagrams

[Lalaith]

Good question, here's some answers (maybe):

ST - Sensing-Thinking Types - Stress systematic decision making with quantitative, not qualitative data (Nutt, 1986). They establish order, set up control and manage with certainty (Mitroff & Mitroff, 1980). They prefer tasks that are structured and prefer to take very few risks. There is a focus on immediate problems, the quick fix, and the use of standard producers and playing by the rules. STs dive into the details and look for specifics and some say to find step-by-step progress (Haley & Stumpf, 1989; Haley, 1997). Once set with a decision, doubt and opposition do not deter them, and they may resist a reanalysis.

SF - Sensing-Feeling Types - these are people oriented decision makers. They welcome people's opinions, and concentrate on qualitative and more affective and evaluative information. More concerned with facts about people that about things. Short term focus on problems of today, but only with human implications. Harmony is preferred and they are quick to reconcile interpersonal differences (Haley & Stumpf, 1989; Haley, 1997).

NT - iNtuitive-Thinking Types (Visionaries) - focus on nonlinear problems and studying patterns in the data (Nutt, 1986). Head for the more general information rather then the details and specifics. Prefer analysis, but will make bold intuitive leaps into the unknown. More long-range in their thinking and strategic plans. Not big on implementation. Will dive into a complex problem and try to organize them into simpler ones. Can be quite idealistic and even impersonal, and will ignore the nay sayers around them (Haley & Stumpf, 1989; Haley, 1997).

NF - iNtuitive-Feeling Types (Catalysts) - focus on judgment and experience, and portraying their own personal views as the facts (Nutt, 1986). There are few rules in their decision-making and they rely on intuitive perception. They will construct open ended, non-linear, and ill-defined problems and seek fresh, human possibilities. More focus on the broad themes than on specifics and seek longer-term goals. May test their hunches

Some of these strategies sound quite familiar....

They do indeed. How interesting.

That should explain why I sometimes feel like voting for someone even if a decent case against him/her hasn't been done previously...

I've taken the test a few times, and I have always come out to be an ENFP.

I definitely play like an NF, though my gut instincts are usually pitifully off track (as just about anyone whose ever played a game in which I have participated can testify).

Its funny how many of the 'quieter' players are extroverts, while many of the more active players are introverts.
Maybe its because the extroverts are out at parties instead of at their computers...

was this what I be invited to, hmm? If so, here I am, and I want to sign up!!!

Legolas...I think you're probably looking for the thread labelled Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

This is a thread discussing strategy for the Werewolf game, the next round of which is being organized in the thread I linked to.

All right. Here's a few ENTP traits. See if you think they fit my WW style (you are familiar with it if you were in games 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, or 10).

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue

I suppose that's true.

ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this.

Heh heh.

Making, discovering and developing connections between and among two or more of anything is virtually automatic

Anyone who has read my post game summaries knows that I love to make connections between events. I'm always thinking things like so if he voted for him at this time then it is likely that she is not in cahoots, unless so-and-so turns out to be a wolf, in which case it would be probable that...

Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions.

I think that fits.

ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere.

This is certainly true. I can always come up with a theory for someone being a werewolf, no matter how innocent everyone thinks they are. I can also come up with a theory for why someone is innocent, no matter how guilty they appear to be.

To tell you the truth, that is why I enjoy the game so much. I absolutely love analyzing the verbal attacks and defenses, the voting, and the kills and coming up with possibilites, and trying to figure out what is motivating people to do what they are doing. Even if I am completely wrong I think it's super fun to come up with as many cool theories as possible.
