So Kath, as an SF, (facts and feelings) do you play more by instinct or by system? What about Ka and Phantom, who are the opposite, both NTs?

Well, I tend to come out as Introverted (though not always), and I am one of the loudest players out there, I think.

But I am quite contradictive that way, in real life as well. I prefer mostly to stand aside and observe other people…and yet I am always longing to be in the spotlights and hate it when people do not pay attention to me. Odd.

I am definitely Intuitive, while the other variables seem to differ. Often I’m a Feeling person.

By the way – I think Formendacil is a very intuitive player and has admitted to being that himself a few times. He only pretends to analyse. I am the same way. I reason a lot and try to get all the facts straight, and yet in the end I vote purely based on intuition and experience. I am not sure why – I like logical thinking and ratio but when I am under pressure, I always resort to senselessness.

Interesting...I think I'm with you there...although it's my opinon that intuition is 90% experience, anyway...
I think spawn is a very interesting player, a mix of S & N. In any game I've played with her she's often the player who is most careful with the facts, and usually knows exactly what's happened and when, but also uses intuition.

Btw, the link I originally provided, while explaining the different types very thoroughly, doesn't have a particularly good personality test (it seems to be difficult to come out as anything but an introvert!)

A more thorough and accurate test is here:

Well I think I do something similar to Cailín. I do post analyses and facts and try to make sense of things from that, but I'm working from instinct. My analysis is biased by my feelings about the player. So a mixture of the two really.

EDIT: However, using that new link I come out at ISJT.

Hhm, with the second link I came out with ESFJ, but I put myself more EIFP. Then again can 50 or so questions really determine how we are? Nobody is one way and not even the same way in different situations. I'm a fun loving laid back kind of parent but not when it comes to safety, obeying rules and sleep (my friends call me 'sleep nazi').

Getting back to werewolf and its implications. I suppose I'm more annalytical. I have to "see" a pattern. I don't (or can't) think of how a player's action could possibly turn out in a day or two or single/double/triple bluffs unless it has been established by someone else (also why I stink at chess). Also, with so many players I get easily overloaded with all the info and how it all correlates.
I don't do well in werewolf until the 3rd or 4th day when there is stuff to go back and look on and players have been killed off.
But I have learned to trust my gut, if I can't get a nagging feeling out of my head about someone I'll dog them till they're dead. Sometimes makes it hard becuse I may not have hard concrete evidence against them.

As far as "information for the enemy" I think we've all played so much that we have a good idea of each other.

And what if you could answer yes to all depending on mood?
