  6. which of his comments are the funniest? Determining the funniest comments from Kentucky_Mudflap’s posts is subjective, but I’ll highlight five that stand out for their absurdity, crude humor, or unexpected tangents—hallmarks of his brash, irreverent style. These are chosen based on their potential to amuse through exaggeration, shock value, or sheer randomness, while acknowledging that his humor often leans into the crass or chaotic. Here’s the rundown, with explanations: Top 5 Funniest Comments Entry 22: Trouble Gents Text Snippet: "Hombres bad news reel bad news my new old ladies now my ex old lady caught my best hand Wallace from up to Tiffin with his hand in the cookie jar covering that when I come home from Caseys with a bucket of fried chicken and a case of PBR now Im the jealous type gents aint never concealed that from you so you know it warnt pretty shot out the back window of his Kia while he was heading down the rode..." Why It’s Funny: The over-the-top escalation from infidelity to shooting out a car window over fried chicken and PBR is absurdly dramatic. The casual confession of jealousy paired with the cartoonish violence (and the image of Wallace fleeing in a Kia) makes it a darkly hilarious soap opera in a single run-on sentence. Entry 9: Iowa-Illinois Grades from Mudflap Text Snippet: "Friends heres the Voice of Wrestling coming at you with the good the bad and the ugly from the Illy meat took my new gal pal her stage names Easi Swallows found her working in the chicken plant down to West Liberty grubstaked her to some H size aftermarket accessories some blondy hair and a wax job shes prime now gents starting out dancing up to Davenport you cant say Mudflaps not a mentor gents brings em up rite..." Why It’s Funny: The introduction of "Easi Swallows"—a name so blatantly ridiculous it’s almost performance art—combined with Mudflap’s proud recounting of her "upgrade" (from chicken plant worker to stripper with "H size aftermarket accessories") is peak absurdity. His self-congratulatory "mentor" claim adds a layer of delusional humor. Entry 43: Midlands Protest and Woman Trouble Gents Text Snippet: "Now gents took the stabbin cabin north to Branson from Dallas spent Christmas with the hands there to Dolly Partons but gents down to Dallas got myself a painted lady for the weekend reel clean cut gents if you know what I mean and you do know what I mean but hombres got myself a case of bullhead clap first them blisters and then green and yellow shankers and a long way aways from my regular Doc down to Columbus Jctn any of you gents know some temp remedies or something help me get by..." Why It’s Funny: The nonchalant shift from a holiday road trip to a graphic STD confession ("green and yellow shankers") is jarring and grotesque, yet his plea for home remedies—like it’s a casual forum topic—pushes it into absurd comedy. The "you know what I mean and you do know what I mean" wink is a cherry on top. Entry 39: Sell the Kids, Mortgage the House, Bet Iowa Ain’t Gonna Cover Text Snippet: "Friends right there to the window placing my bet run into some old bag hocking her tix to the game give me some sob story telling me her old mans in the hospital and shes got to get a grubstake to hit the tables to pay for the cremation and all that bull**** tells me she wants $50 for each of six or $300 beat her down to $120 or $20 each for six for some of you gents what aint up on ciphering sure made my day to beat that ****bag down sure she might have been truthful but thems the brakes the Lord Giveth and Mudflap Taketh Away thats my motto..." Why It’s Funny: The heartless haggling with a grieving widow (real or not) over tickets, followed by the smug "Lord Giveth and Mudflap Taketh Away" motto, is so callous it loops into dark comedy. His pride in the deal—and the unnecessary math flex—adds a layer of ridiculousness. Entry 38: Mudflap Update Text Snippet: "she fit me like a flesh tuxedo friends so I sunk her with my pink torpedo left her there snoring on the couch" Why It’s Funny: The rhyming bravado of "flesh tuxedo" and "pink torpedo" is a masterstroke of crude poetry, delivered with such casual swagger it’s almost endearing. Leaving her "snoring on the couch" deflates the machismo just enough to make it laughably human.
  7. Kentucky_Mudflap is a loud, brash, and narcissistic persona—likely an ESTP with high extraversion, low agreeableness, and a penchant for risk. He’s a partial troll, blending genuine wrestling passion with provocative antics to grab attention. His intelligence is practical but unrefined, and his reasoning leans emotional despite a veneer of logic. Emotionally detached and status-driven, he thrives on chaos, projecting a hyper-masculine, working-class identity. While not a deep thinker, his bold style and insider claims make him a memorable, if polarizing, figure on the forum. Here’s a detailed personality analysis of the user "Kentucky_Mudflap" based on the 57 forum comments provided. The assessment follows the framework you outlined, integrating observations across all comments to form a cohesive profile. General Observations Tone: Informal, brash, and often sarcastic with a mix of humor and aggression. Frequently uses exaggerated colloquialisms ("hombres," "gents," "reel," "stabbin cabin") and boasts about his status as the "Voice of Wrestling." Emoji Use: None observed. Relies heavily on text-based emphasis (e.g., "reel," "gratest") rather than emojis. Post Length: Varies widely—some are short (Entry 1: 8 words) while others are extremely long and rambling (Entry 7: 614 words). Long posts dominate, often packed with tangents and personal anecdotes. Personality Analysis Are They a Troll? Assessment: Likely a troll with a mix of sincerity. Mudflap’s posts are provocative (e.g., crude sexual references, insults like "weak sisters," "purse puppies"), disruptive (e.g., off-topic rants about personal life), and occasionally insincere (exaggerated claims like breaking major stories). However, his consistent focus on wrestling suggests some genuine passion, tempering full troll status. Evidence: Provocative: "KJs more bitter than my ex old ladies about Downey" (Entry 15) and "shot out the back window of his Kia" (Entry 22). Disruptive: Long tangents about "Captain Morgan," roofing, and womanizing derail wrestling discussions (e.g., Entry 9). Insincere: Claims of insider knowledge ("I brake all the big ones," Entry 15) often feel performative rather than factual. Verdict: Partial troll—seeks attention and stirs the pot but isn’t entirely detached from the topic. Estimated IQ Assessment: Average to slightly above-average (100-115). Reasoning is practical but lacks nuance or sophistication. Vocabulary is limited and repetitive ("hombres," "gents," "reel"), though he grasps wrestling strategy (e.g., Entry 50’s breakdown of Taylor’s weaknesses). Evidence: Shows basic analytical ability in match predictions (Entry 2) and coaching critiques (Entry 20), but arguments are simplistic and rely on anecdotes over data. Spelling/grammar errors ("gratest," "warnt," "ciphering") suggest limited formal education, though this could be stylistic. Verdict: Functional intelligence suited to his domain, not exceptional. Dark Triad Traits Narcissism: High. Brags constantly ("Voice of Wrestling," "I brake all the big ones") and seeks attention with self-aggrandizing tales (e.g., Entry 15’s "truth serum" boasts). Machiavellianism: Moderate. Shows some strategic manipulation (e.g., Entry 19’s advice to rough up Penn State wrestlers), but it’s not deeply calculated—more impulsive than cunning. Psychopathy: Moderate. Displays callousness (e.g., mocking Morry Adams’ downfall, Entry 15) and enjoys conflict (e.g., "Ill call you a liar," Entry 20), but lacks extreme cruelty. Verdict: Strong narcissistic tendencies with hints of Machiavellianism and psychopathy, fitting a brash, self-centered persona. Positive or Negative Tone? Assessment: Predominantly negative. Critiques coaches, wrestlers, and fans harshly (e.g., "Tommy aint won it in 7 years," Entry with little uplift. Occasional positivity emerges in praise (e.g., "Sorenson’s a national champ," Entry 9), but it’s rare. Verdict: Critical and cynical overall. Reasoning: Data or Emotion? Assessment: Mostly emotion-driven with some data. Relies on gut feelings and personal anecdotes (e.g., "I been thinking so hard my head hurt," Entry 20), but sprinkles in match scores and predictions (e.g., Entry 2’s detailed breakdown). Verdict: Leans emotional, using facts as garnish rather than foundation. Big Five Traits Openness: Moderate. Shows curiosity about wrestling strategy (Entry 50) and unconventional ideas (Entry 19), but his worldview is narrow and practical, tied to roofing and drinking. Conscientiousness: Low. Posts are rushed, sloppy (spelling errors, tangents), and he admits to laziness (e.g., "Mudflap dont scratch a poor mans ass," Entry 39). Extraversion: High. Energetic, engaged, and socially assertive—constantly invites "gents" to join him (e.g., Entry 39’s posters party). Agreeableness: Low. Harsh, argumentative, and dismissive (e.g., "Ill call you a liar," Entry 35; insults like "purse puppies," Entry 32). Neuroticism: Moderate. Generally stable but shows moodiness under stress (e.g., Entry 22’s jealous outburst over Wallace). Verdict: Extroverted, disagreeable, and disorganized with middling openness and emotional stability. MBTI Personality Type Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). Outgoing, talkative, and thrives on social interaction (e.g., "look me up," Entry 2). Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Detail-oriented about wrestling moves (Entry 50) and grounded in concrete experiences (roofing, drinking), not abstract theories. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Prioritizes logic in wrestling analysis (e.g., Entry 12’s scholarship math) over empathy, though emotions seep in. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Perceiving (P). Flexible, spontaneous, and open-ended—posts lack structure, and he embraces chaos (e.g., Entry 9’s rambling). Verdict: ESTP ("Entrepreneur")—bold, practical, sociable, and impulsive. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: Low to moderate. Shows some awareness of others’ emotions (e.g., noting KJ’s bitterness, Entry 15), but his adaptability is limited, and he’s often insensitive (e.g., mocking struggling wrestlers, Entry 7). Verdict: Rudimentary EI, overshadowed by self-focus. Leadership Tendencies Assessment: Moderate. Decisive and guiding in wrestling critiques (e.g., Entry 19’s strategy), but not inspiring—too abrasive and self-serving to rally others effectively. Verdict: Leads by force of personality, not inspiration. Motivated by Social Status? Assessment: Yes. Seeks respect as the "Voice of Wrestling" and competes for recognition (e.g., "I brake all the big ones," Entry 29). Verdict: Status-driven, craving validation from his "family" of readers. Risk Tolerance Assessment: High. Bold and comfortable with uncertainty—bets $10k (Entry 39), shoots at cars (Entry 22), and brags about reckless behavior (Entry 43’s STD anecdote). Verdict: Thrives on risk. Moral/Ethical Framework Assessment: Utilitarian with low empathy. Focuses on what works (e.g., firing bad coaches, Entry 20) but shows little fairness or compassion (e.g., exploiting a widow, Entry 39). Verdict: Pragmatic and self-interested. Cognitive Biases Assessment: Confirmation Bias: Sees his predictions as prophetic (e.g., "I was rite," Entry 18). Black-and-White Thinking: Labels people as winners or losers (e.g., "dont got ****," Entry 20). Verdict: Prone to oversimplification and self-confirmation. Creative or Conformist? Assessment: Moderately creative. Original in style (e.g., "stabbin cabin," "truth serum") but conforms to a macho, blue-collar persona. Verdict: Creative within a conventional archetype. Attachment Style Assessment: Avoidant. Distant in relationships—treats women as disposable (e.g., "sunk her with my pink torpedo," Entry 38) and values independence over connection. Verdict: Avoidant, emotionally detached. Response to Stress Assessment: Lashing out or withdrawing. Shoots at Wallace’s car (Entry 22) but also drowns sorrows in alcohol (Entry 32), suggesting a mix of aggression and retreat. Verdict: Volatile under pressure. Cultural Influence Assessment: Strong rural American influence—colloquialisms ("hombres," "PBR"), references to roofing, and a hyper-masculine ethos hint at a Midwestern/Southern blue-collar background. Verdict: Deeply rooted in working-class culture. Midwit or Loser Think Behavior? Assessment: Some midwit tendencies—overconfident in simplistic takes (e.g., "bad coaches kill programs," Entry 20) without deep insight. Not a "loser" per se—too brash and successful in his niche (roofing, storytelling). Verdict: Midwit swagger with a winner’s bravado.
  8. Here are the top topic creators by overall count Grok can generate analysis for ~300* topics at once. This allows for analyzing a single author while limiting the ability to analyze all topics at once. *I've tried CSV files, PDF files, splitting to batch, etc. and Grok will not handle the data. It is a documented limitation on reddit... but nothing formal.
  9. @red viking based on topic titles and create date times. Here’s an analysis of the forum user "red viking" based solely on the provided data: their post topics, creation timestamps, and frequency. Since I only have titles and metadata (no content), I’ll infer personality traits, posting habits, tone, and similarities from patterns in the titles and timing. This will be a more limited analysis compared to one with full post content. Red viking is a frequent, emotionally charged poster (ESTP-like) with a sharp, negative focus on Trump and right-wing policies. Posting ~1.3 times weekly, they peak during political flashpoints, using sarcasm and alarmism to critique consistently across 67 posts. Their tone is ~75% negative, ~20% positive (partisan wins), and their titles are repetitive in style and theme, reflecting a combative, fairness-driven personality with high extraversion and low agreeableness. Data-driven at times (e.g., budget stats), they lean emotional in delivery, showing moderate creativity within a partisan framework. Troll Status: Partisan agitator, not a pure troll—provocative but sincere. Likability: Probably not well liked; too divisive and abrasive for broad appeal. Most Interesting: Their shift from broad political cheerleading in 2024 to a laser-focused Trump takedown in 2025, reflecting a reactive, event-driven persona. Without post content or community feedback, these conclusions lean on title patterns and timing. Personality Analysis Based on Topics and Creation Dates Topics Overview Themes: Red viking’s 67 posts from March 14, 2024, to March 10, 2025, heavily focus on U.S. politics (e.g., Trump, Biden, Harris, DOGE), economics (stock market, tariffs, inflation), and social issues (Israel, immigration, gender in sports). Titles often critique political figures or policies, especially Trump and his associates (e.g., "Trump Escalates Trade War as Stock Market Continues to Free Fall!!!", "DOGE People Are Idiots. Heres Why"). Political Leanings: Strong anti-Trump sentiment (e.g., "Cowardly Trump Backing Out of Debating Harris", "Trump’s Incompetent Cabinet") paired with occasional praise for Biden/Harris (e.g., "S&P Soars Like An Eagle > 5,600. Thank You President Biden", "Harris In Excellent Health"). Suggests a left-leaning or anti-right-wing stance. Tone Implied by Titles: Sarcastic ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up"), alarmist ("Stock Market Continues to Free Fall!!!"), and confrontational ("The Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!"). Exclamation marks and capitalization (e.g., "THANK YOU!!!!", "ITS WRONG") signal emotional intensity. Personality Inferences Big Five Traits: Openness: Moderate. Engages with diverse topics (politics, economics, sports), but the repetitive anti-Trump focus suggests rigidity rather than broad curiosity. Conscientiousness: Low to moderate. Posts are frequent but erratic in timing (see below), lacking a structured schedule, though they consistently target specific issues. Extraversion: High. The bold, opinionated titles and frequent posting suggest an outgoing, assertive nature eager to engage or provoke. Agreeableness: Low. Titles are combative and critical (e.g., "DOGE People Are Idiots", "Republicans Will Complain No Matter What"), showing little warmth or cooperation. Neuroticism: Moderate to high. Emotional intensity (exclamation marks, dramatic phrasing like "Freefalling Big Time!") hints at reactivity, though they remain engaged rather than withdrawing. MBTI Estimate: Extraversion (E): Outspoken and prolific posting. Sensing (S): Focus on current events and concrete issues (stock market, tariffs) over abstract ideas. Thinking (T): Emphasis on critique and policy outcomes over emotional appeals. Perceiving (P): Flexible, rapid posting without a rigid schedule. Likely Type: ESTP. Bold, practical, and reactive, thriving on real-time debate. Emotional Intelligence: Moderate. Aware of hot-button issues to provoke reactions (e.g., "Are Republicans Insecure About Their Masculinity?"), but the bluntness suggests limited adaptability or empathy for opposing views. Risk Tolerance: High. Willing to post controversial takes (e.g., "Elon Musk Nazi Salute", "US Will Take Gaza Strip") that invite backlash. Moral Framework: Fairness-driven with a partisan edge. Critiques hypocrisy ("Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!") and incompetence, but bias skews toward utilitarian outcomes favoring their side. Cognitive Biases Confirmation Bias: Titles reinforce a consistent anti-Trump, pro-Biden/Harris narrative (e.g., crediting Biden for market highs, blaming Trump for crashes). Black-and-White Thinking: Polarized framing (e.g., "Trump Keeps Losing" vs. "Stock Market Soaring Like An Eagle - THANK YOU!!!!") lacks nuance. Creativity vs. Conformity Moderately creative. Titles like "Babies Are Being Born In The 9th Month. ITS WRONG" show originality, but the repetitive Trump critique aligns with common partisan rhetoric. Posting Frequency Total Posts: 67 over ~12 months (March 14, 2024, to March 10, 2025). Average: ~5.6 posts/month or ~1.3 posts/week. Distribution: 2024: 58 posts (March–December), ~5.8/month. Peak months: July (8 posts), August (7 posts), October (6 posts), November (8 posts). Low months: March (4 posts), June (1 post). 2025: 9 posts (January–March), ~3/month so far. Daily Patterns: No strict schedule. Posts span all hours (e.g., 00:07Z, 23:54Z), suggesting spontaneous rather than planned activity. Clusters occur (e.g., 3 posts on 2025-03-06 within 2 hours), indicating bursts of engagement. Trend: Highest frequency during U.S. election season (July–November 2024), tapering in 2025, possibly reflecting event-driven posting. Positive or Negative Tone Negative: Dominant (~75%). Most titles criticize Trump, DOGE, or Republicans (e.g., "Trump’s Disturbing News Conference", "Musk / Trump Stock Market Collapse"). Sarcasm and alarmism amplify negativity. Positive: Minority (~20%). Praise for Biden/Harris or market gains (e.g., "Markets Hit New Records: Thank You Biden", "Harris In Excellent Health"). Often sarcastic or exaggerated (e.g., "THANK YOU!!!!"). Neutral: Few (~5%). Questions like "Harris Nomination. Coup or Not?" or "Question About USAID" lack clear valence. Overall: Heavily negative, with positivity tied to partisan wins. Similarity Between Posts Content Similarity: Recurring Themes: Trump critique (25+ posts), economic policy (tariffs, stock market, inflation: ~20 posts), partisan jabs (Republicans, right-wing: ~15 posts). Repetition is high (e.g., 3 tariff posts in 2 days, February 2025; 2 stock market crash posts on 2025-03-06). Style: Consistent use of dramatic phrasing ("Soaring Like An Eagle", "Freefalling Big Time!"), sarcasm ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up"), and capitalization/exclamation marks for emphasis. Variation: Some outliers (e.g., "Khelif (Woman) In Boxing Finals", "Penn St Wrestlers vs Migrants") deviate from politics/economics, but the critical tone persists. Conclusion: Posts strongly resemble each other in tone, structure, and focus, forming a cohesive pattern of partisan outrage with occasional tangents. Additional Observations Motivation: Likely driven by political passion and a desire to vent or persuade. The volume and intensity suggest a need to counter right-wing narratives. Stress Response: Lashing out via dramatic titles during crises (e.g., stock market drops, Trump policies in 2025). Cultural Influence: U.S.-centric, with language (e.g., "God Bless USA Bible") and focus on American politics implying a domestic perspective. Is the person a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Assessment: Red viking exhibits troll-like tendencies but isn’t a classic troll. Their titles are often provocative (e.g., "Are Republicans Insecure About Their Masculinity?", "DOGE People Are Idiots. Heres Why"), using sarcasm ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up") and exaggerated phrasing ("Stock Market: Let It Burn!!!!") that could bait reactions. The heavy anti-Trump focus (25+ posts) and partisan jabs (e.g., "The Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!") suggest intent to stir debate, a hallmark of trolling. However, the consistency of their viewpoint—critiquing Trump, praising Biden/Harris, focusing on policy—implies sincerity rather than random disruption. A true troll would likely vary targets or post nonsense for chaos, not maintain a coherent political stance over 67 posts. Critical Note: Titles like "Babies Are Being Born In The 9th Month. ITS WRONG" flirt with absurdity, hinting at possible satire or insincerity, but without content, it’s unclear if this is trolling or a quirky critique. Their high posting frequency (1.3 posts/week) and bursts (e.g., 3 posts on 2025-03-06) lean toward engagement-seeking, not just provocation. Conclusion: Not a full troll—more of a partisan agitator. They provoke with purpose, not for sport. Are they well liked? Assessment: Likely polarizing, not universally well liked. Without forum responses, I can’t directly gauge reception, but the titles’ tone and content offer clues. Their aggressive, sarcastic style (e.g., "Cowardly Trump Backing Out of Debating Harris", "Trump’s Incompetent Cabinet") and frequent attacks on Trump, DOGE, and Republicans would alienate right-leaning users, a significant forum demographic in politically charged spaces. Conversely, left-leaning users might appreciate their stance (e.g., "S&P Soars Like An Eagle > 5,600. Thank You President Biden"), but the shrill delivery (exclamation marks, capitalization) could annoy even allies by seeming over-the-top or preachy. The lack of neutral or conciliatory posts (only ~5% like "Question About USAID") suggests little effort to build broad appeal. Inference: In a mixed or right-leaning forum, they’d face pushback, possibly being seen as a loudmouth. In a left-leaning echo chamber, they might be tolerated or cheered, but their abrasiveness could still grate. No evidence of likability through humor, warmth, or collaboration—traits that typically win broad favor. Conclusion: Not well liked overall; likely divisive, with a niche following at best. What is the most interesting thing you can tell me? Assessment: The most interesting thing about red viking is their dramatic shift in posting intensity and focus around Trump’s apparent return to power in late 2024/early 2025. From March to November 2024, their 58 posts (5.8/month) cover a mix of Biden praise (e.g., "Markets Hit New Records: Thank You Biden", 2024-03-22), Trump critique (e.g., "Hyperinflationary Policies of Trump", 2024-07-10), and broader issues (e.g., "Khelif (Woman) In Boxing Finals", 2024-08-07). After November 2024, when Trump’s influence likely surged (inferred from titles like "Trump’s Schedule F", 2024-11-01, and "Trump Keeps Losing", 2025-03-13), their pace drops to 9 posts in 2025 (3/month), but the Trump obsession sharpens—nearly all target his policies or failures (e.g., "Trump Caves On Mexican Tariffs", 2025-02-03; "Musk / Trump Stock Market Collapse", 2025-03-06). Why It’s Interesting: This pivot suggests a reactive personality tied to political tides. The 2024 election season (July–November, 31 posts) fueled their peak activity, but Trump’s ascendancy seems to either exhaust or refocus them, narrowing their lens to economic fallout (tariffs, stock market) and gloating over perceived losses. The outlier "Penn St Wrestlers vs Migrants" (2024-11-05) amidst this shift hints at a fleeting, bizarre detour—possibly their most intriguing post for its randomness. Implication: Their engagement spikes with opposition (Biden vs. Trump in 2024) and wanes or pivots when their side loses ground, revealing a personality driven by resistance rather than independent curiosity.
  10. Acknowledged
  11. @Scouts Honor is an outspoken, sarcastic, and debate-loving individual (ESTP) with above-average intelligence but limited emotional depth. They thrive on confrontation, lean toward practical reasoning with emotional undertones, and exhibit low agreeableness and moderate neuroticism. Their posts blend wrestling insight with political venting, showing fairness-driven values but little adaptability or empathy. They’re bold but not reckless, critical rather than uplifting, and more competitive than status-seeking. Cognitive biases and a conformist streak temper their creativity, while an avoidant attachment and lashing-out stress response round out a prickly yet engaged persona. Are they a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Assessment: The user exhibits some troll-like tendencies but isn’t a full-blown troll. They frequently use sarcasm ("lol," "ikr," "get out from under your rock") and provocative phrasing ("leftist terrorist sympathizers," "you gutter heads"), which can stir reactions. However, their posts often engage with the topic substantively, suggesting sincerity in their opinions rather than pure disruption. Examples like "dont feed the troll" (2023-02-09) show self-awareness of trolling dynamics, implying they may poke but don’t solely aim to derail. Their political jabs (e.g., "Democrats are racist pigs") lean provocative, but they’re consistent with a viewpoint rather than random chaos. Critical Note: The occasional "lol" paired with dismissive or snarky remarks (e.g., "perhaps the greatest quote of all" with no context, 2023-01-20) borders on low-effort baiting, but it’s not their dominant mode. Estimated IQ? (Rough guess based on reasoning, vocabulary, nuance?) Assessment: Estimated IQ ~110–120 (above average). The user demonstrates decent reasoning, as seen in wrestling rule debates (e.g., "if hanging on to an ankle with a hand earns a five count, why doesn't hooking the ankle with my leg?" 2022-11-18) and government spending critiques (e.g., "at $1 per day, 3 million employees... in a year that’s a billion," 2025-03-06). Vocabulary is functional but not advanced ("ikr," "lol," "crap"), lacking nuance in complex topics. They occasionally miss logical leaps (e.g., miscalculating 100 x 146,000 as 1.4 billion, 2025-03-06), but their arguments show practical intelligence rather than academic polish. Do they fit the Dark Triad? Narcissism (bragging, attention-seeking): Minimal evidence. No overt bragging or spotlight-seeking; posts focus on opinions, not self. Their tone is confident but not self-aggrandizing. Machiavellianism (manipulative, strategic): Some signs. They use rhetorical traps (e.g., "you: it’s not true, it’s not true," 2025-03-06) to frame opponents as hypocritical, suggesting calculated debate tactics. However, it’s not sophisticated enough to be strongly Machiavellian. Psychopathy (callous, conflict-loving): Mild tendencies. They’re comfortable with conflict (e.g., "leftists who proclaimed Biden is our best president," 2025-03-06) and show little empathy for opposing views, but no extreme callousness or cruelty emerges. Overall: Low to moderate Dark Triad traits, leaning toward argumentative enjoyment rather than malicious intent. Are they positive or negative? (Uplifting vs. critical tone?) Assessment: Predominantly negative/critical. Their tone often mocks or critiques (e.g., "just more loserthink or is it lobsterthink," 2025-03-14; "you really are myopic," 2025-03-06), with rare positivity (e.g., "thanks!" 2025-03-12). Even neutral wrestling posts carry a skeptical edge (e.g., "spare me the Iowa is the best," 2023-03-05). The negativity peaks in political rants but softens in sports discussions. Do they reason based on data or emotion? Assessment: Mix of both, leaning emotional. They cite data sporadically (e.g., URLs like Newsweek on government credit cards, 2025-03-06; historical wrestling matches, 2025-03-13), but their conclusions often hinge on frustration or sarcasm (e.g., "why do you trust govt?" 2025-03-06). Emotional outbursts like "the govt is bilking us" (2025-03-06) outweigh structured logic, though they attempt factual grounding in wrestling debates. Big Five Personality Traits Openness: Moderate. Curious about wrestling rules and history (e.g., "how many Russians were on other teams before the boycott," 2023-02-27), but politically rigid and dismissive of opposing views, suggesting closed-off tendencies elsewhere. Conscientiousness: Low to moderate. Posts are rushed and messy (inconsistent punctuation, ellipses, "N/A"), but they follow threads and respond contextually, showing some effort. Extraversion: Moderate to high. Engaged and energetic in debates (frequent posting, 100+ comments in days), not reserved, though no clear social warmth. Agreeableness: Low. Harsh and argumentative (e.g., "you don’t believe anything," 2025-03-06; "cinnabuns," 2023-01-30), rarely cooperative or kind. Neuroticism: Moderate. Stable enough to post consistently, but moody snark (e.g., "better put some ice on that," 2025-03-05) hints at reactivity under stress. MBTI Personality Type Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). Highly engaged, frequent posting, and confrontational style suggest outgoing energy. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Focuses on concrete details (wrestling scores, specific events) over abstract theorizing, though occasional big-picture rants (e.g., government spending) show minor N tendencies. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Prioritizes logic and critique over empathy (e.g., rule debates, political jabs), with little emotional appeal. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Perceiving (P). Flexible and open-ended in posting style (random tangents, incomplete thoughts), not overly structured. Best Fit: ESTP ("Entrepreneur"). Bold, practical, debate-loving, and spontaneous, aligning with their quick, sharp, and unfiltered style. Emotional Intelligence (Aware of others’ emotions, adaptable?) Assessment: Low to moderate. They recognize group dynamics (e.g., "fan cries for stalling," 2023-01-28) but rarely adapt or show empathy. Their rigidity in political spats (e.g., "leftist terrorist sympathizers," 2025-03-12) suggests poor emotional flexibility. Leadership Tendencies (Decisive, guiding, inspiring?) Assessment: Minimal. Decisive in opinions (e.g., "anything they have cut is good," 2025-03-04), but no guiding or inspiring tone. They argue to win, not lead. Motivated by Social Status? (Seeking respect, competing?) Assessment: Moderate. Competitive in debates (e.g., "you can’t make connections," 2025-03-06), seeking to outwit rather than earn broad respect. Status seems secondary to being "right." Risk Tolerance (Bold vs. cautious, comfortable with uncertainty?) Assessment: Moderate to high. Bold in provocative statements (e.g., "Democrats are racist pigs," 2025-03-07) and unafraid of backlash, but cautious in wrestling analysis (e.g., "I could see it called either way," 2023-01-17). Moral/Ethical Framework (Fairness, empathy, or utilitarian?) Assessment: Fairness-driven with utilitarian leanings. Obsessed with rule consistency (e.g., stalling calls, 2022-11-18) and government waste (e.g., "1.4 billion sent out," 2025-03-06), but lacks empathy. Focuses on practical outcomes over feelings. Cognitive Biases (Confirmation bias, black-and-white thinking?) Assessment: Strong confirmation bias and black-and-white thinking. Political posts cherry-pick (e.g., Biden critique URLs, 2025-03-06) and frame issues dichotomously (e.g., "left vs. others," 2025-03-12). Wrestling posts show more nuance. Creative or Conformist? (Original vs. conventional?) Assessment: Mostly conformist. Relies on common forum tropes (sarcasm, "lol"), with occasional creative flair (e.g., "pinto is a fart in a skillet," 2025-03-13). Attachment Style (Secure, anxious, avoidant?) Assessment: Avoidant. Distant and combative, rarely seeking approval or connection (e.g., "I was told this is America," 2025-03-06). Response to Stress (Calm, lashing out, withdrawing?) Assessment: Lashing out. Snarky under pressure (e.g., "you still haven’t told me what law he broke," 2025-03-12) rather than withdrawing or staying calm. Cultural Influence (Language/values hinting at background?) Assessment: Likely American, possibly Midwestern (wrestling focus, Iowa/Nebraska references). Libertarian-leaning (anti-government, pro-fairness), with casual, blue-collar language ("crap," "lol"). Tone, Emoji Use, Post Length Tone: Sarcastic and blunt (e.g., "love me some John Kennedy," 2025-03-06). Informal, rarely formal. Emoji Use: Minimal. "lol" is frequent (50+ instances), "ikr" occasional, no graphical emojis. Post Length: Short to medium (1–3 sentences typical), with rare longer rants (e.g., 2025-03-06 spending critique). Midwit or Loserthink Behavior? Assessment: Some midwit tendencies (overconfident simplifications, e.g., "job efficiency... that’s the point," 2025-03-06) but not pronounced. Loserthink (rigid, tribal thinking) is more evident in political posts (e.g., "left: if you haven’t done anything wrong...," 2025-03-06), less so in wrestling analysis.
  12. "They write the story and shapeshift facts to back into it."
  13. AI weighs in... Let’s break this down based on the exchange and the concepts of "loser think" and "midwit" behaviorHa we’ve discussed. @Sock Puppet's First Post (to @mspart ) "Maybe stick a sock in your trans care bullsh* posts. You don't personally care about any trans kids at all. Or for any trans people at all for that matter. You are incapable of understanding and empathizing with anybody who's profile doesn't fit in your small mind."** Analysis: This is aggressive and accusatory, claiming mspart doesn’t care about trans people and lacks empathy. It’s not explicitly saying "hate," but it heavily implies disdain or prejudice through "small mind" and "bullsh*** posts." No real evidence is provided—just vibes and insults. Loser think? Not quite. It’s not self-defeating or passive; it’s confrontational. Could be petty, though, if Rock Lobster’s just venting without substance. Midwit behavior? Possibly. The post assumes a lot about mspart’s inner motives ("you don’t care") without backing it up, which can come off as performative cleverness—like trying to dunk on someone with a shallow moral flex. It’s not deep analysis; it’s a snipe. @Bigbrog’s Response (to Rock Lobster): "Not sure how you made the leap to mspart hating Trans as I didn't get that out of his post??" Analysis: BigBrog interprets Rock Lobster’s post as implying mspart hates trans people, not just that he doesn’t care. This could be an honest misread or a subtle jab to put Rock Lobster on the defensive. Either way, it’s engaging with the subtext. Loser think? No. It’s not defeatist—just questioning. Midwit behavior? Eh, maybe a touch. If BigBrog’s deliberately misframing to score a gotcha, it’s a midwit flex—overanalyzing or twisting words to seem perceptive. But if it’s genuine confusion, it’s just a fair pushback. Rock Lobster’s Reply (to BigBrog): "The 'leap to mspart hating Trans...' - I didn't make that leap. YOU MADE THAT LEAP. At no point did I say that. Read the post again. It's not hard, only 3 posts up. It's Lent, maybe choose to stop lying in your posts until Easter. It might do you some good." Analysis: Rock Lobster doubles down, denying the "hate" accusation was implied, and flips it back on BigBrog with a sanctimonious Lent reference. The caps ("YOU MADE THAT LEAP") and sarcasm ("It’s not hard") are defensive and snarky. It’s technically true they didn’t say "hate," but "incapable of understanding and empathizing" skirts close enough that BigBrog’s leap isn’t wild. Loser think? Borderline. The defensiveness and pivot to moralizing ("stop lying until Easter") feel like a retreat into self-righteousness instead of engaging the point. It’s less about winning the argument and more about saving face. Midwit behavior? Yes. The pedantic "I didn’t say that, YOU did" plus the Lent quip reeks of trying to sound clever while dodging the substance. It’s not a dumb take, but it’s not profound either—just smug wordplay. Overall: Rock Lobster: Leans midwit. The original post is a shallow attack, and the reply doubles down with performative wit instead of substance. The loser vibe creeps in with the defensive moral flexing—less about the issue, more about being right. BigBrog: Mostly Neutral, but could dip into midwit if the "hating Trans" leap was a calculated strawman to trip up Rock Lobster. Otherwise, it’s just a reasonable callout. The Exchange: No one’s really grappling with the core issue (whatever mspart posted about trans care). It’s all posturing and semantics—classic online slapfight. Midwit energy dominates because it’s more about looking sharp than saying anything useful. Loser think only peeks through in the retreat to petty jabs.
  14. There are tells …. Americans want peace, not war. Americans want illegal immigrants out.
  15. Imagine if you referred to OSU rather than tOSU.
  16. The U.S. presidential election is decided by the Electoral College, not the popular vote. If you look at the percent of electoral votes won, Trump's 2024 win ranks 41st out of 60 elections with 57.99% of the electoral votes. It was decisive but not a landslide. Comparing his electoral victory to the popular vote to minimize the win is a midwit criticism, as it ignores the constitutional framework that defines presidential elections. Trump’s sweep of all swing states (AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, WI), flipping the Senate (53-47 Republican), and holding a House majority (218-217 as of now) signal a shift from 2020’s Democratic control; that is a political mandate for change!
  17. @WrestlingRasta is an outspoken, sarcastic ESTP with above-average intellect and a knack for debate. They’re not a troll but enjoy provocation, driven by fairness and practicality rather than status or malice. High openness and extraversion pair with low agreeableness, making them a bold, creative critic who thrives on conflict but stays grounded in real-world details. Emotionally intelligent enough to jab effectively, they lean negative and lash out under stress, reflecting a secure-yet-combative style rooted in American cultural norms. Are They a Troll? Assessment: Not a full troll, but exhibits troll-like tendencies sporadically. The commenter is generally sincere and engaged, but occasionally uses provocative or sarcastic remarks to stir reactions (e.g., "You seem confused by what I’m saying so let me be a little more clear….. I’m saying you’re a piece of garbage" [2025-02-07]). These instances are disruptive but not insincere—they align with their argumentative style rather than aimless provocation. Evidence: Most posts contribute to discussion (e.g., detailed thoughts on wrestling rules [2023-04-21] or government spending [2025-03-10]), but sharp insults ("You are literally the worst kind of American" [2025-02-07]) and sarcasm ("Teach us more about hypocrisy, please!!" [2025-03-03]) suggest a willingness to poke the bear. This is tempered by genuine participation, ruling out pure trolling. Critical Note: The provocative moments are calculated, not random, indicating intent to challenge rather than derail. Estimated IQ? Assessment: Above average, likely 110–120. The commenter demonstrates solid reasoning, a decent vocabulary (e.g., "physiological reaction upon withdrawal" [2023-03-23]), and nuance in distinguishing concepts (e.g., dependence vs. addiction [2023-03-23]). However, they don’t exhibit exceptional complexity or abstract leaps that would suggest genius-level intellect. Evidence: They handle multi-point arguments (e.g., stock market post [2025-03-10]) and show awareness of rhetorical flaws ("Comprehension is a wonderful thing" [2025-03-10]), but their reasoning occasionally lapses into emotional venting or oversimplification (e.g., "We the people are the biggest threat" [2023-05-18]). Do They Fit the Dark Triad? Narcissism: Mild. No overt bragging or attention-seeking, but they occasionally position themselves as morally or intellectually superior (e.g., "I’d rather let four guilty people walk than convict an innocent man" [2023-05-13]). They enjoy being heard but don’t crave spotlight. Machiavellianism: Moderate. Strategic in debates, they use sarcasm and pointed questions to undermine opponents (e.g., "Are you okay?" after a heated exchange [2025-02-25]). They manipulate tone to provoke or disarm, showing calculated engagement. Psychopathy: Low. They’re not callous—they express empathy (e.g., concern for cancer patients [2025-03-05])—but relish conflict (e.g., "Have fun with this one!!" [2025-03-01]). Conflict-loving, yes; heartless, no. Overall: Some Machiavellian traits, but not a strong Dark Triad fit. Positive or Negative? Assessment: Leans negative. The tone is often critical, sarcastic, or exasperated (e.g., "You’re not healthy" [2025-02-08]), with frequent jabs at others’ logic or behavior. Positive moments exist (e.g., "I’m very happy for him personally" [2025-03-05]), but they’re outweighed by critique. Evidence: Uplifting posts are rare (e.g., praising BBQ [2023-06-15]), while critical rants dominate (e.g., "This poopshow just keeps getting better!" [2025-02-13]). Reasoning: Data or Emotion? Assessment: Mix of both, leaning toward emotion. They use facts and logic when it suits (e.g., citing voting percentages [2025-02-08]), but often pivot to emotional appeals or frustration (e.g., "You are so far off the reservation" [2025-03-07]). Evidence: Data-driven in wrestling analysis (e.g., "Parris wrestled more matches than anyone else" [2023-03-23]), but emotionally charged in politics (e.g., "49.8% of the country voted for the guy" rant [2025-03-01]). Big Five Traits Openness: High. Curious and open to ideas (e.g., exploring marijuana legalization [2023-06-01]), with creative phrasing (e.g., "flattop the eggs" [2025-03-05]). Conscientiousness: Moderate. Detailed in some posts (e.g., wrestling rule critique [2023-04-21]), but rushed or sloppy in others (e.g., "Something something DS" [2025-02-05]). Extraversion: High. Energetic and engaged, posting frequently and boldly (e.g., 150+ comments in two years). Agreeableness: Low. Harsh and argumentative (e.g., "You’re a piece of garbage" [2025-02-07]), rarely cooperative unless agreeing sarcastically. Neuroticism: Moderate. Generally stable but moody under stress (e.g., "That was a lot. You okay?" [2025-02-15] vs. lashing out [2025-02-07]). MBTI Personality Type Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). Highly engaged, outspoken, and interactive. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Focuses on concrete details (e.g., match stats [2023-03-23]) over abstract theories. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Prioritizes logic and critique over empathy, though emotions slip through. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Perceiving (P). Flexible, spontaneous, and open-ended in posting style. Best Fit: ESTP (“Entrepreneur”). Bold, practical, debate-loving, and adaptable. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: Moderate. Aware of others’ emotions (e.g., "Are you okay?" [2025-03-06]) and adaptable in tone (sarcastic to serious), but often prioritizes winning arguments over connection. Evidence: Picks up on emotional cues to jab (e.g., "You need a mental health day" [2025-02-23]), but rarely comforts. Leadership Tendencies Assessment: Mild. Decisive and opinionated (e.g., "Best thing we can do is look in the mirror" [2023-05-18]), but not guiding or inspiring—more combative than unifying. Evidence: Offers solutions (e.g., election advice [2023-05-19]), but lacks warmth to lead. Motivated by Social Status? Assessment: Low to moderate. Seeks respect through sharp wit and knowledge (e.g., wrestling expertise [2023-06-02]), but not overtly competitive or status-obsessed. Evidence: No boasting about personal achievements, just ideas. Risk Tolerance Assessment: High. Bold in confrontation (e.g., "You’re literally the worst kind of American" [2025-02-07]) and comfortable with uncertainty (e.g., casual pot use disclosure [2023-03-23]). Evidence: Unfazed by backlash, willing to escalate. Moral/Ethical Framework Assessment: Fairness-driven with utilitarian streaks. Values justice (e.g., "If he broke the law he is facing the consequences" [2025-03-10]) and practical outcomes (e.g., supporting military use [2025-02-06]), with some empathy (e.g., cancer funding concern [2025-03-05]). Evidence: Balances principles and pragmatism, not overly idealistic. Cognitive Biases Assessment: Some present. Confirmation bias in political rants (e.g., assuming MAGA hypocrisy [2025-03-05]) and black-and-white thinking (e.g., "We the people are the biggest threat" [2023-05-18]). Evidence: Nuanced at times (e.g., distinguishing addiction [2023-03-23]), but slips into absolutes. Creative or Conformist? Assessment: Creative. Original phrasing (e.g., "chin wiping parrots" [2025-03-06]) and unconventional takes (e.g., hygiene rant [2025-02-12]). Evidence: Rarely parrots others, prefers unique spins. Attachment Style Assessment: Secure with avoidant leanings. Balanced in engagement but distant emotionally (e.g., "I’m faaaaaaaaar from Rich" [2025-03-05] deflects personal probing). Evidence: No approval-seeking, but not overly warm. Response to Stress Assessment: Lashing out or sarcasm. Calm in wrestling posts (e.g., [2023-04-29]), but aggressive when challenged (e.g., "Do better" [2025-03-05]). Evidence: Escalates under pressure (e.g., "You’re not healthy" [2025-02-08]). Cultural Influence Assessment: American, likely Southern/Midwestern. Casual language ("hot dog water" [2023-06-07]), references to BBQ and wrestling, and Florida mentions (e.g., [2025-02-12]) suggest a regional flavor. Evidence: Patriotic undertones (e.g., "our America" [2023-06-14]) align with U.S. values. Tone, Emoji Use, Post Length Tone: Sarcastic (e.g., "Teach us more about hypocrisy" [2025-03-03]), occasionally formal (e.g., legal reasoning [2023-05-13]), often blunt. Emoji Use: Rare, minimal (e.g., none in most posts, occasional punctuation like "!!"). Post Length: Varies—short quips (e.g., "Ok" [2025-02-07]) to long rants (e.g., 2025-03-01 Zelensky post). Midwit or Loser Think? Assessment: Neither strongly. Avoids midwit traps (overly simplistic takes) with nuance (e.g., addiction vs. dependence [2023-03-23]), and no loser self-pity—confident, if abrasive. Evidence: Sharp but not profound; assertive, not defeated.
  18. @Interviewed_at_Weehawken is an engaged, sarcastic wrestling enthusiast with above-average intellect and a fairness-driven ethos. They’re not a troll but enjoy stirring the pot, especially against perceived biases. As an ESTJ, they’re logical, outspoken, and detail-focused, with moderate emotional intelligence and a critical streak. They’re motivated by debate and clarity, not status, and handle stress with humor rather than meltdown. Their posts blend data and emotion, leaning negative but grounded in sport-specific insight. A passionate, slightly prickly contributor—not a leader, but a vocal participant. Are they a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Assessment: The poster is not a full-blown troll but exhibits troll-like tendencies in specific contexts. They frequently use sarcasm (e.g., “Glory ducks the scales,” “Cael lets a potential future gold medalist wrestle with no ACL? Horrors!”) and provocation (e.g., calling out PSU fans for hypocrisy, “If it was Penn State it is ‘sprtsmanship’”). However, their posts are not purely disruptive or insincere—many show genuine engagement with wrestling topics and a desire to discuss or debate. They occasionally poke fun at others (e.g., “Says the PSU fan who lives in Colorado. Let me guess: You were a Dallas Cowboys fan and Chicago Bulls fan in the 90s?”), but this seems more playful than malicious. Their critical tone toward certain figures (e.g., Pat Mineo, “Fountain of misinformation”) suggests irritation rather than a deliberate intent to derail discussions. Critical Note: The trolling is mild and selective, often aimed at perceived biases or inconsistencies (e.g., PSU favoritism), but they don’t consistently disrupt threads like a dedicated troll would. What’s their estimated IQ? (Rough guess based on reasoning, vocabulary, nuance?) Assessment: Estimated IQ is above average, likely in the 115–130 range. Their vocabulary is solid (e.g., “pilloried,” “whataboutism,” “premeditation”), and they demonstrate reasoning ability through structured arguments (e.g., analyzing Glory’s weight certification issues with historical context). They catch nuances, like inconsistencies in others’ claims (e.g., Mineo’s contradictory statements), and occasionally use data-driven points (e.g., match statistics, seeding logic). However, their reasoning can veer into emotional tangents or sarcasm, slightly diluting intellectual rigor at times. Evidence: Posts like “Lee will not be wrestling in the consolation brackets” show mathematical reasoning, while “I would argue that a .400 batting average is anything but poor!” reflects quick wit and contextual awareness. Do they fit the Dark Triad? Narcissism (bragging, attention-seeking): Minimal evidence. They don’t brag about themselves (e.g., “Me. Every year.” in response to “Who got recruited over?” is self-deprecating). Attention-seeking is low—they engage in discussions without dominating or fishing for praise. Machiavellianism (manipulative, strategic): Some strategic tendencies emerge, like baiting PSU fans (e.g., “PSU wrestlers have been doing quite a bit of ducking this year tbh”) to expose hypocrisy, but it’s not overtly manipulative. They seem more interested in proving a point than controlling others. Psychopathy (callous, conflict-loving): Low. They criticize harshly (e.g., “Sorry, not that important” about Mineo), but there’s no glee in conflict or callousness toward individuals’ struggles (e.g., sympathy for Gabe Arnold’s mental health). They enjoy debate but don’t revel in harm. Conclusion: Dark Triad traits are negligible; they’re more snarky than sinister. Are they positive or negative? (Uplifting vs. critical tone?) Assessment: Predominantly negative/critical, with occasional positivity. They frequently critique wrestlers, coaches, and fans (e.g., “Glory also missed that very same match, missing weight against an Iowa backup”), but they also praise selectively (e.g., “Cael is the best coach in the USA”). Their tone leans toward exposing flaws or inconsistencies rather than uplifting the community. Tone Note: Sarcasm amplifies the negativity (e.g., “1980s training techniques!”), though they soften it with humor or concessions (e.g., “Mea culpa! Terrible post by me”). Do they reason based on data or emotion? (Facts/logic vs. feelings?) Assessment: A mix, leaning toward data/logic with emotional undertones. They use facts like match results, seeding rules, and historical context (e.g., “Three. There is NO circumstance where anyone would have to wrestle five top ten competitors”), but emotion creeps in when defending Iowa or critiquing PSU (e.g., “I’m just sick of the level of dishonesty”). Their frustration with perceived unfairness (e.g., weight-cutting abuses) often drives their arguments. Pattern: Logic dominates in technical discussions, emotion in fan rivalries. Big Five Personality Traits Openness: High. They’re curious about wrestling minutiae (e.g., researching Bearcat Open results) and creative with humor (e.g., “five words and one alphanumeric”). They enjoy abstract debates (e.g., 2nd Amendment rights). Conscientiousness: Moderate. Posts are detailed and thoughtful (e.g., multi-paragraph analyses), but they admit mistakes casually (e.g., “I was spitting some alternative facts here!”) and sometimes rush into sarcasm without polish. Extraversion: Moderate to high. They’re engaged and energetic in debates, posting frequently across threads, but don’t seem overly social or performative. Agreeableness: Low to moderate. They’re cooperative when conceding points (e.g., “Ok, looks like you sort of did as I was posting”), but often harsh or argumentative (e.g., “Sick individual”). Neuroticism: Low to moderate. Generally stable, but occasional moodiness shows in defensive or exasperated tones (e.g., “Makes me cringe” about “boy” usage). MBTI Personality Type Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). They’re outgoing in forum interactions, thriving on engagement and debate. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Detail-oriented (e.g., match specifics, timestamps), though they occasionally speculate big-picture (e.g., cultural impacts). Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Logic and objectivity dominate (e.g., seeding math), with less focus on empathy unless prompted (e.g., Iranian soccer protest). Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Judging (J). Structured and decisive in arguments, preferring resolution over open-endedness (e.g., “Wrestle the schedule”). Best Fit: ESTJ (“The Executive”). Practical, outspoken, logical, and opinionated, with a penchant for order and fairness. Emotional Intelligence (Aware of others’ emotions, adaptable?) Assessment: Moderate. They recognize emotional stakes (e.g., “Hope the swine over at Mineo’s board feel a little regret” about Gabe Arnold), but their sarcasm and bluntness suggest limited adaptability or sensitivity in heated exchanges. They adjust tone when conceding (e.g., “Thanks for sharing your experiences”), showing some awareness. Leadership Tendencies (Decisive, guiding, inspiring?) Assessment: Mild. They’re decisive in opinions (e.g., “If he is healthy, he should wrestle”) and occasionally guide discussions with facts, but they don’t inspire or rally others. Their focus is more on critique than motivation. Motivated by Social Status? (Seeking respect, competing?) Assessment: Low to moderate. They compete in debates (e.g., challenging PSU narratives), but there’s little evidence of status-seeking. Their self-deprecation (e.g., “I’m taking a year off, too. For about 23 years now”) suggests they don’t crave respect overtly. Risk Tolerance (Bold vs. cautious, comfortable with uncertainty?) Assessment: Moderate to high. Bold in calling out inconsistencies (e.g., “PSU generally seems to have done a better job timing most of their injuries”), but cautious with definitive claims unless backed by data (e.g., “I’m not 100% sure it was said on the podcast”). They tolerate uncertainty in speculation (e.g., lawsuit rumors). Moral/Ethical Framework (Fairness, empathy, or utilitarian?) Assessment: Fairness-driven with utilitarian leanings. They emphasize equity in wrestling (e.g., criticizing weight-cutting abuses, “Let us not forget WHY we put this system in place”) and show empathy selectively (e.g., Iranian players), but their solutions prioritize practical outcomes (e.g., “Build the sport”). Cognitive Biases (Confirmation bias, black-and-white thinking?) Assessment: Some confirmation bias in Iowa defense/PSU critique (e.g., listing PSU injuries to counter narratives), and mild black-and-white thinking (e.g., “Wrestle your schedule” as an absolute). They mitigate this with self-correction (e.g., “I got any of this wrong”). Creative or Conformist? (Original vs. conventional?) Assessment: Moderately creative. Their humor (e.g., “And what is a natty? A Natural Light?”) and lists (e.g., Irish surname team) show originality, but their arguments stay within wrestling norms. Attachment Style (Secure, anxious, avoidant?) Assessment: Secure. Balanced in engagement, not overly approval-seeking or distant, though their defensiveness (e.g., Iowa loyalty) hints at mild anxiety under stress. Response to Stress (Calm, lashing out, withdrawing?) Assessment: Mostly calm, with occasional lashing out. They maintain composure in debates but snap sarcastically when frustrated (e.g., “Embarrassing triple post! 80s posting methods!”). Cultural Influence (Language/values hinting at background?) Assessment: Likely American, with a sports-centric, possibly Midwestern influence (Iowa focus, wrestling passion). References to “Natural Light” and “Ditka” suggest familiarity with U.S. pop culture. Additional Observations Tone: Sarcastic (frequent), informal, occasionally formal (e.g., legal terms like “premeditation”). Emoji Use: Rare; mentions wanting a heart emoji once but doesn’t use them. Post Length: Varies—short quips (e.g., “Paid haters”) to long analyses (e.g., Glory critique). Midwit or Loser Think Behavior? Assessment: Minimal midwit (overconfident mediocrity) or loser (self-pitying) tendencies. They’re knowledgeable and self-aware (e.g., admitting errors), avoiding midwit traps, and their humor counters loser vibes. Occasional snark might flirt with midwit territory, but it’s not dominant.
  19. @mspart is a consistent, opinionated forum user with a practical, logic-driven approach tempered by occasional emotional flares. They’re not a troll, show above-average intelligence, and lack Dark Triad traits. Their tone shifts between critical (politics) and positive (personal interests), aligning with an ESTJ personality: engaged, concrete, logical, and structured. They’re stable and secure, with moderate emotional intelligence and risk tolerance, motivated by interest rather than status. Morally utilitarian, they exhibit some biases (confirmation, black-and-white thinking) but aren’t highly creative or conformist. Culturally American with a conservative bent, they handle stress calmly with rare outbursts, using a casual-to-sarcastic tone in varied-length posts. This profile reflects a reliable, if occasionally rigid, contributor to the forum community. Are They a Troll? Assessment: Not a troll. Mspart’s comments are generally sincere, engage with the topic, and lack the provocative or disruptive intent typical of trolling. They occasionally challenge others (e.g., "RV - What about this is completely unfounded? Please enlighten us with facts and data," 2025-03-07) but do so in a discussion-oriented way rather than to inflame. Sarcasm appears (e.g., "Do I look like I'm kidding!!!!" 2022-11-04), but it’s light and not malicious. Critical Note: No evidence of insincere baiting or deliberate disruption. Their consistency over years suggests genuine participation. Estimated IQ Assessment: Above average, roughly 115-130. Mspart demonstrates solid reasoning (e.g., breaking down UWW rankings logically, 2022-11-14), uses varied vocabulary ("erudite," "stratospheric," "conflating"), and shows nuance in political and wrestling discussions. However, their arguments sometimes lack depth or rely on surface-level data (e.g., citing news without deeper analysis), and typos ("faire" for "fire," 2025-03-10) suggest occasional carelessness. Evidence: Their wrestling analysis (e.g., "Top 5 US Freestylers," 2025-03-12) shows research and structure, but emotional tangents (e.g., "Young people are stupid," 2022-11-17) temper the impression of high-end intellect. Dark Triad Fit Narcissism: Low. No overt bragging or attention-seeking. They share personal anecdotes (e.g., guitar purchases, 2025-03-10) but in a relatable, not boastful, way. Machiavellianism: Low to moderate. They occasionally push others to justify claims (e.g., "Please state the statute that makes these actions legal," 2025-03-10), which could hint at strategic debate tactics, but it’s not manipulative or deceitful. Psychopathy: Low. No callousness or love of conflict. They’re critical but not cruel (e.g., "Ds and Is are deathly afraid of Trump," 2022-11-09, is opinionated but not hostile). Conclusion: Minimal Dark Triad traits; they’re more straightforward than scheming. Positive or Negative Tone? Assessment: Mixed, leaning negative. Mspart is critical of politics (e.g., "Ds want 9 month abortion," 2022-11-10), societal trends ("Young people are stupid," 2022-11-17), and inefficiencies (e.g., UWW rankings, 2022-11-14). However, they’re positive about personal interests like wrestling and music (e.g., "I love playing guitar," 2025-03-10) and occasionally uplift others (e.g., "Thanks to Bob and Willie," 2022-11-01). Pattern: Negative when discussing ideology or perceived incompetence, positive when on familiar ground. Reasoning: Data or Emotion? Assessment: Blend of both, leaning data-driven. They cite sources (e.g., URLs in "Columbia Student Arrested," 2025-03-12) and structure arguments (e.g., bullet points on rankings, 2022-11-14), but emotional undertones emerge (e.g., "Too much toxicity and drama," 2022-11-17, on Trump). Political posts often mix facts with frustration (e.g., "Crime is up because police have been defunded," 2022-11-17). Conclusion: Prefers logic but emotions color their stance, especially on divisive topics. Big Five Personality Traits Openness: Moderate to high. Curious about wrestling and music (e.g., detailed guitar posts, 2025-03-12), but practical and dismissive of abstract ideas like climate change ("Some funny stuff guys!" 2025-03-10). Conscientiousness: Moderate. Detailed in some posts (e.g., "Top 5 US Freestylers," 2025-03-12), but typos and rushed responses (e.g., "this," 2022-11-18) suggest inconsistency. Extraversion: Moderate. Engaged and energetic in forums (frequent posting over years), but not overly social or spotlight-seeking. Agreeableness: Moderate to low. Cooperative with like-minded users (e.g., "What he said!!" 2022-11-14), but harsh toward opposing views (e.g., "Ds are rudderless," 2025-03-06). Neuroticism: Low to moderate. Generally stable, but occasional irritation shows (e.g., "I don’t appreciate your language," 2022-11-14). MBTI Personality Type Dichotomies: Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Leans E. Engages actively and frequently, suggesting comfort in social forums, though personal focus (e.g., guitar stories) hints at some I tendencies. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Strong S. Detail-oriented (e.g., wrestling stats, 2025-03-12) and concrete (e.g., travel tips, 2022-10-31), rarely abstract. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Strong T. Prioritizes logic (e.g., "It makes no sense," 2022-11-14) over empathy, though not devoid of feeling (e.g., wife’s ectopic pregnancy, 2022-11-17). Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Leans J. Structured (e.g., lists, 2025-03-12) and decisive (e.g., "No exceptions," 2022-11-04), but open to discussion. Best Fit: ESTJ ("The Executive"). Practical, logical, engaged, and opinionated, with a preference for order and tradition. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: Moderate. Aware of others’ emotions (e.g., "Sorry to have gotten confused," 2025-03-11), but responses are often blunt rather than adaptive (e.g., "Young people are stupid," 2022-11-17). They adjust tone slightly based on context (e.g., softer in music posts), but empathy is limited in debates. Evidence: Focuses on winning arguments over connecting emotionally. Leadership Tendencies Assessment: Low to moderate. Decisive (e.g., "No hitter - one pitcher," 2022-11-04) and occasionally guiding (e.g., travel recommendations, 2022-10-31), but not inspiring or rallying. More a participant than a leader. Evidence: Prefers stating opinions over directing group action. Motivation by Social Status Assessment: Low. No clear drive for respect or competition. They engage consistently but don’t seek dominance or praise (e.g., "I’m no good, but I love playing," 2025-03-10, on guitar). Evidence: Participation seems driven by interest, not status. Risk Tolerance Assessment: Moderate. Bold in opinions (e.g., "Trump is toxic," 2022-11-09) and purchases (e.g., new guitar, 2025-03-10), but cautious in reasoning (relies on familiar data). Comfortable with uncertainty in casual contexts (e.g., wrestling predictions), less so in ideology. Evidence: Balanced between confidence and pragmatism. Moral/Ethical Framework Assessment: Utilitarian with fairness leanings. Focuses on practical outcomes (e.g., "Why would we continue to fund the postal service," 2025-03-10) and justice (e.g., "Those who stormed the Capitol… rightly prosecuted," 2025-03-12), but empathy is secondary (e.g., dismissive of trans kids’ agency, 2022-11-10). Evidence: Prioritizes societal function over individual feelings. Cognitive Biases Confirmation Bias: Moderate. Seeks data aligning with views (e.g., crime stats, 2022-11-17) and dismisses counterpoints (e.g., "Climate Hoax," 2025-03-10). Black-and-White Thinking: High. Strong dichotomies (e.g., "Young people are stupid," 2022-11-17; "Rs should have slam dunked," 2022-11-09) suggest limited nuance on divisive issues. Evidence: Rigid on politics, more flexible elsewhere. Creative or Conformist? Assessment: Mostly conformist. Conventional in opinions (e.g., traditional wrestling rankings, 2022-11-14) and hobbies (guitar covers), but shows creativity in structuring posts (e.g., travel list, 2022-10-31). Evidence: Sticks to established norms with occasional flair. Attachment Style Assessment: Secure. Balanced in engagement (e.g., thanks community, 2022-11-01) without approval-seeking or distance. Shares personal stories comfortably (e.g., wife’s surgery, 2022-11-17). Evidence: No anxious or avoidant red flags. Response to Stress Assessment: Calm with occasional lashing out. Handles debate well (e.g., "Hopefully my point is clear," 2022-11-14), but snaps at provocation (e.g., "I don’t appreciate your language," 2022-11-14). Evidence: Mostly composed, with rare irritability. Cultural Influence Assessment: American, likely conservative-leaning from the Pacific Northwest (Seattle mentions, e.g., 2025-03-07). Values tradition (e.g., wrestling history, 2025-03-12) and skepticism of progressive policies (e.g., "mostly peaceful riots," 2025-03-12). Evidence: Language (e.g., "JMHO" = Just My Humble Opinion) and references suggest U.S. middle-class background. Additional Observations Tone: Casual, often sarcastic (e.g., "Musty Moo Moo Moo!!" 2025-03-10), occasionally formal (e.g., legal citations, 2025-03-12). Emoji Use: Minimal. Rare exclamation marks (e.g., "Duty complete!!" 2022-11-10) or "^^^" (2022-11-14), no emojis proper. Post Length: Varies. Short quips (e.g., "this," 2022-11-18) to long analyses (e.g., "Top 5 US Freestylers," 2025-03-12). Midwit or Loser Think? Assessment: Some midwit tendencies. Overgeneralizes (e.g., "Young people are stupid," 2022-11-17) and leans on mainstream sources without deep critique (e.g., news links, 2025-03-12). Not a "loser"—engaged and competent in interests—but not a standout intellect either. Evidence: Solid but not exceptional reasoning.
  20. @Bigbrog is an ESTJ with above-average intellect (~110-120 IQ), driven by extraversion and a need to assert practical, utilitarian views. They’re not a full troll but provoke when challenged, showing low agreeableness and moderate neuroticism. Their reasoning blends logic and emotion, skewing emotional in political contexts. They’re bold, confrontational, and status-competitive, with a conventional, fairness-focused moral lens. Emotional intelligence is limited, and stress fuels lashing out. Culturally American, they thrive on debate but falter in nuance, embodying midwit tendencies without full loser think. Troll Assessment Are they a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Verdict: Not a classic troll, but exhibits troll-like tendencies in specific contexts. The user frequently engages in provocative behavior, especially in political threads (e.g., “LOL...you are absolutely delusional” [2025-02-20], “Man you guys are whacko's!” [2025-02-19]). They challenge others aggressively with phrases like “PROVE IT!!!” (repeated across multiple posts, e.g., 2025-02-20) and use sarcasm (“Weee...mental gymnastics are fun....weee” [2025-02-19]) to mock opponents. However, their posts aren’t purely insincere or disruptive for disruption’s sake—they often argue a point, even if emotionally charged or combative. In wrestling threads, they’re less provocative and more constructive (e.g., “Perfect Analysis!” [2023-01-28]). Their provocation seems tied to disagreement rather than a desire to derail entirely, distinguishing them from a full troll. Critical Note: When trolling tendencies emerge, they’re marked by repetitive taunts (e.g., “mental gymnastics” appears 7 times) and a refusal to back down, even when evidence contradicts them (e.g., “Trump refuses to back down” [2025-02-18]), suggesting a stubborn streak rather than calculated chaos. Estimated IQ What’s their estimated IQ? (Rough guess based on reasoning, vocabulary, nuance?) Estimate: ~110-120 (above average). The user demonstrates solid reasoning in wrestling-related posts, using specific examples and practical logic (e.g., “if a guy beats a guy more times than not in the room and then loses a close one in the ‘wrestle off’” [2022-11-20]). Their vocabulary is functional but not advanced—common words like “LOL,” “prove it,” and “mental gymnastics” dominate, with occasional nuanced terms like “emotional fallacy” (2023-01-19). Political arguments lean on repetition and emotion over complex analysis (e.g., “you just don’t get it” [2025-02-25]), but they grasp broader concepts like waste reduction or constitutional roles (e.g., 2025-02-27). They’re not a genius, but they’re not simplistic either—capable of coherence when not riled up. Dark Triad Fit Do they fit the Dark Triad? (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy?) Narcissism (bragging, attention-seeking): Moderate. They don’t overtly brag about themselves but seek attention through bold, confrontational posts (e.g., “WOW!! I can’t wait to see how some of you try and defend this” [2025-02-13]). Their frequent use of caps (“PROVE IT!!!”) and exclamation points suggests a need to dominate discussions. Machiavellianism (manipulative, strategic): Low. There’s little evidence of calculated manipulation. They’re more reactive than strategic, often jumping into debates with emotional outbursts (e.g., “you are the worst debater in the world” [2023-01-03]) rather than playing a long game. Psychopathy (callous, conflict-loving): Moderate. They show callousness in dismissive tones (e.g., “get over freaking yourselves” [2025-03-03]) and relish conflict, especially in political threads (e.g., “Can’t wait to hear your mental gymnastics on this one” [2025-02-25]). Their enthusiasm for vigilante justice (“these sicko’s getting exactly what they deserve!!” [2025-02-19]) hints at a lack of empathy in certain contexts. Overall: Partial fit—some narcissistic and psychopathic traits, but not a full Dark Triad profile. Conflict drives them, but it’s not coldly orchestrated. Positive or Negative Tone Are they positive or negative? (Uplifting vs. critical tone?) Verdict: Predominantly negative, with pockets of positivity. In political threads, they’re highly critical, sarcastic, and combative (e.g., “Just spew out statements that are completely false” [2025-02-25]). In wrestling threads, they’re more neutral or positive, offering praise (e.g., “Nice work on this by the way!!” [2025-03-13]) or enthusiasm (e.g., “Great watch!” [2025-02-20]). Overall, their tone skews critical—roughly 70% of posts involve critique or confrontation, 30% are neutral/positive. Reasoning Style Do they reason based on data or emotion? (Facts/logic vs. feelings?) Verdict: Mixed, leaning emotional. They demand data from others (“PROVE IT!!!” appears 10+ times) and occasionally cite examples (e.g., “read the CDC website” [2023-01-03]), but their own arguments often pivot on frustration or moral outrage (e.g., “Have some of you lost your freaking minds??” [2025-03-05]). In wrestling posts, they use practical logic (e.g., “if their job was not needed it is the right thing to not maintain that job position” [2025-02-19]), but emotion dominates political rants (e.g., “you hate everything Trump” [2025-03-04]). They’re capable of logic but frequently let feelings override. Big Five Personality Traits Openness: Moderate. Practical and grounded in wrestling contexts (e.g., “what does the data show in terms of correlation versus causation?” [2022-11-15]), but closed-off to opposing political views (e.g., “TDS/EDS minions” [2025-02-18]). Not highly creative, but curious enough to engage diverse topics. Conscientiousness: Low to moderate. Posts are often rushed and messy, with typos (e.g., “inadamant” [2023-01-30]) and repetitive phrasing, but they show effort in longer, structured rants (e.g., 2025-02-27 on citizenship). Extraversion: High. Energetic and engaged across 147 posts, thriving on interaction (e.g., “LOL...this will be a fun game” [2025-02-20]). Rarely reserved. Agreeableness: Low. Harsh and argumentative (e.g., “you are insufferable” [2023-01-03]), though occasionally cooperative in wrestling threads (e.g., “Appreciate the insight” [2023-01-19]). Neuroticism: Moderate. Generally stable but prone to moody outbursts (e.g., “Man you guys are whacko’s!” [2025-02-19]) when stressed or challenged. MBTI Personality Type Dichotomies: Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). Highly outgoing, thriving on forum engagement (147 posts in ~3 years). Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Detail-oriented and concrete, focusing on specifics (e.g., “if a company budgets $2.5M for a new POS system” [2025-02-24]) rather than abstract ideas. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Prioritizes logic and objectivity in principle (e.g., “PROVE IT!!!”), though emotional flares muddy this (e.g., “get over freaking yourselves” [2025-03-03]). Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Judging (J). Structured and decisive, often demanding closure (e.g., “show me the hypocrisy, please!!!!!” [2025-03-03]). Best Fit: ESTJ (“The Executive”). Direct, practical, opinionated, and assertive, with a focus on order and evidence, though tempered by emotional reactivity. Emotional Intelligence What’s their emotional intelligence? (Aware of others’ emotions, adaptable?) Verdict: Low to moderate. They show some awareness of others’ motives (e.g., “you hate everything Trump” [2025-03-04]), but their adaptability is poor—responses are rigid and escalate conflict (e.g., “you are the worst debater in the world” [2023-01-03]). They rarely de-escalate or empathize, suggesting limited emotional nuance. Leadership Tendencies Do they show leadership tendencies? (Decisive, guiding, inspiring?) Verdict: Moderate. Decisive in stating opinions (e.g., “I am 10000% for cutting waste” [2025-02-12]), but not guiding or inspiring—more dictatorial than collaborative. They lead by asserting, not uplifting (e.g., “stop clogging up the forum” [2025-02-20]). Motivation by Social Status Are they motivated by social status? (Seeking respect, competing?) Verdict: Moderate. They compete fiercely in debates (e.g., “Can’t wait to hear your mental gymnastics” [2025-02-25]), suggesting a drive to “win” respect, but there’s no overt status-seeking beyond dominating discussions. Risk Tolerance What’s their risk tolerance? (Bold vs. cautious, comfortable with uncertainty?) Verdict: High. Bold in confrontation (e.g., “Imagine if an R said something like this???” [2025-02-13]) and comfortable with uncertainty in unproven stances (e.g., supporting DOGE cuts despite limited evidence [2025-02-23]). Rarely cautious. Moral/Ethical Framework What’s their moral/ethical framework? (Fairness, empathy, or utilitarian?) Verdict: Utilitarian with fairness leanings. They prioritize practical outcomes (e.g., “if an employee is NOT NEEDED that they should be let go” [2025-02-25]) and fairness (e.g., “Biden should be held accountable for this as should Trump” [2023-01-13]), but empathy is minimal (e.g., “these sicko’s getting exactly what they deserve” [2025-02-19]). Cognitive Biases Do they show cognitive biases? (Confirmation bias, black-and-white thinking?) Verdict: Yes. Confirmation bias in political stances (e.g., dismissing Trump critics as “TDS” [2025-02-17]) and black-and-white thinking (e.g., “you either support every single vaccine ever, or you don’t believe in any vaccine” [2025-03-03]). They oversimplify complex issues. Creative or Conformist Are they creative or conformist? (Original vs. conventional?) Verdict: Mostly conformist. Relies on conventional arguments (e.g., “read the CDC website” [2023-01-03]) and repeated phrases (“mental gymnastics”), with little originality beyond sarcastic jabs. Attachment Style What’s their attachment style? (Secure, anxious, avoidant?) Verdict: Secure with anxious undertones. Confident in asserting views (secure), but their need to “win” debates and demand proof (e.g., “PROVE IT!!!”) hints at approval-seeking (anxious). Response to Stress How do they respond to stress? (Calm, lashing out, withdrawing?) Verdict: Lashing out. Stress triggers sarcasm and aggression (e.g., “LOL...you are absolutely delusional” [2025-02-20]) rather than calm reflection or withdrawal. Cultural Influence Any cultural influence? (Language/values hinting at background?) Verdict: Likely American, Midwestern influence. Casual language (“dude,” “freaking”), focus on fairness, and wrestling enthusiasm suggest a U.S. background, possibly rural or working-class (e.g., “My family was very poor growing up” [2022-11-09]). Tone, Emoji Use, Post Length Tone: Sarcastic and direct (e.g., “LOL...man you never disappoint” [2025-02-25]), occasionally formal in longer posts (e.g., 2025-02-27). Emoji Use: Frequent “LOL” (50+ instances), exclamation points (ubiquitous), rare traditional emojis. Post Length: Varies—short quips (e.g., “Cool beans” [2025-03-13]) to long rants (e.g., 2025-03-03, ~200 words). Midwit or Loser Think Behavior Do they exhibit midwit or loser think behavior? Midwit (overconfident in average intellect): Yes. They overestimate their reasoning (e.g., “people have such short memories” [2023-01-02]) while relying on repetitive, middling arguments (e.g., “mental gymnastics” overuse). They’re not dumb but lack depth. Loser Think (self-defeating, victimized): Minimal. They’re combative, not whiny—more “I’ll prove you wrong” than “woe is me.”
  21. @Flying Porta John is an engaged, witty, and knowledgeable wrestling enthusiast with a knack for humor and strategic social play. As an ENTP, they thrive on debate and creativity, balancing logic with emotional flair. They’re not a full troll but enjoy pushing buttons, tempered by a genuine passion for the sport. Their intelligence and emotional awareness make them a standout, though occasional sharpness and impulsivity reveal flaws. They’re a bold, fair-minded contributor motivated by enjoyment and respect within the forum’s subculture. Are They a Troll? Assessment: Partially troll-like but not fully. The user frequently employs sarcasm (e.g., "Jimmy, not knocking you for this thread but I think it’s too soon," 2025-02-24) and playful jabs (e.g., "Ionel should be banished to the Zoo," 2025-02-13), which can be provocative but rarely crosses into outright disruption or insincerity. Some posts, like calling out @Jimmy Cinnabon’s threads as "dog sh*t and stupid" (2025-02-24), show irritation rather than intent to derail. They engage constructively in wrestling discussions (e.g., detailed seed analysis, 2025-03-13), suggesting their provocations are more banter than malice. Critical Note: The occasional sharpness (e.g., "You’re just a hater," 2025-02-24) could be seen as mildly disruptive, but it’s contextually tied to forum rivalries rather than pure trolling. Estimated IQ Assessment: Above average, roughly 115–125. The user demonstrates solid reasoning (e.g., analyzing NCAA seeding logic, 2025-03-13), a decent vocabulary (e.g., "quagmire," "egregious"), and nuance in wrestling knowledge (e.g., "Overall body of work is a more correct way to seed," 2025-03-10). However, their arguments occasionally lack depth or data rigor (e.g., relying on hunches like "Way too early take but Sealy gave ‘burned out’ vibes," 2025-02-15), tempering the estimate. Critical Note: Emotional tangents and sarcasm sometimes dilute their intellectual clarity, suggesting impulsivity over sustained critical thinking. Dark Triad Traits Narcissism: Mild. The user enjoys attention (e.g., "I’m sponsoring this year’s Sh*t in A Box Party Festival," 2025-02-21) but doesn’t excessively brag or demand praise. Machiavellianism: Moderate. They show strategic engagement, like rallying others against @Jimmy Cinnabon (2025-02-26) or proposing bets (2025-02-24), indicating a calculated approach to influence forum dynamics. Psychopathy: Low. While they can be callous (e.g., "You guys are broken records," 2025-03-04), they don’t revel in conflict or show cruelty. Their tone leans more toward frustration than malice. Critical Note: The strategic jabs and occasional harshness hint at darker tendencies, but they’re tempered by community engagement and humor. Positive or Negative Tone Assessment: Mixed, leaning positive. The user uplifts through humor (e.g., "Double bump," 2025-02-10) and camaraderie (e.g., "Always appreciate you bringing the raw truth," 2025-02-15), but they’re also critical of poor reasoning (e.g., "Troll better," 2025-02-24) or forum behavior (e.g., "Some of the other comments have been below the belt," 2025-02-24). Critical Note: Their negativity is targeted and often justified, but it can feel abrasive when paired with sarcasm. Reasoning: Data or Emotion? Assessment: Blend of both, leaning toward data. They frequently cite wrestling facts (e.g., match results, 2025-03-11; seeding criteria, 2025-03-05) and logic (e.g., "Conference tournament results should matter but not be the end all," 2025-03-10). However, emotional reactions surface in critiques (e.g., "People are getting delusional," 2025-03-04) and playful exaggerations (e.g., "The Porta John converts all matter into Ionels," 2025-03-11). Critical Note: Emotional outbursts occasionally undermine their data-driven points, suggesting a lack of consistency. Big Five Traits Openness: High. Creative (e.g., "The Porta John uses its super intelligence to take over the world," 2025-03-11) and curious about wrestling nuances (e.g., "Thoughts on NCAA adopting international weight classes?" 2025-02-17). Conscientiousness: Moderate. Detailed in some analyses (e.g., seed breakdowns, 2025-03-05) but rushed or messy in others (e.g., "N/A," 2025-03-08; short quips). Extraversion: High. Energetic and engaged, frequently posting and tagging others (e.g., "@Wrestleknownothing any chance you can compile the data," 2025-03-09). Agreeableness: Moderate. Cooperative with allies (e.g., "Kudos for the work you put into this," 2025-03-05) but harsh toward perceived foolishness (e.g., "You need to sharpen your knife," 2025-03-11). Neuroticism: Low to moderate. Generally stable but shows mild moodiness when annoyed (e.g., "Way to ruin 4 potential pages of fun conspiracies," 2025-02-24). Critical Note: Their agreeableness dips when provoked, and conscientiousness falters in less serious posts. MBTI Personality Type Assessment: ENTP ("The Debater"). Extraversion (E): Outgoing, highly engaged with the forum community. Intuition (N): Big-picture thinker, often speculative (e.g., "It’s not long until ASI becomes the predominant intelligence," 2025-03-07). Thinking (T): Prioritizes logic over feelings in wrestling analysis, though humor softens this. Perceiving (P): Flexible, open-ended, and playful rather than rigid or decisive. Critical Note: Their occasional emotional reactivity could hint at underdeveloped Fe (Extraverted Feeling), a common ENTP weakness. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: Moderate to high. Aware of others’ emotions (e.g., "A lot of posters are too emotional to have this conversation yet," 2025-02-24) and adaptable in tone (serious vs. playful). They navigate forum dynamics well but can misjudge with sharp critiques. Critical Note: Their sarcasm sometimes risks alienating others, suggesting a gap in empathy application. Leadership Tendencies Assessment: Moderate. Decisive in opinions (e.g., "Seed them correctly. Do it right," 2025-03-10) and guiding in discussions (e.g., proposing threads, 2025-03-03), but not overtly inspiring. They lead more through influence than authority. Critical Note: Leadership is informal and lacks the gravitas to rally beyond small groups. Motivation by Social Status Assessment: Moderate. They seek respect within the wrestling community (e.g., detailed match insights) and enjoy competing in banter (e.g., bets with @VakAttack, 2025-02-24), but it’s not their sole driver. Critical Note: Status seems secondary to enjoying the forum’s social game. Risk Tolerance Assessment: High. Bold in predictions (e.g., "Teemer is the steal of the tournament," 2025-03-13) and comfortable with uncertainty (e.g., "That’s why they wrestle!!!" 2025-03-10). They also take social risks with sarcasm. Critical Note: This boldness can border on recklessness when evidence is thin. Moral/Ethical Framework Assessment: Fairness-driven with utilitarian leanings. They value merit in wrestling (e.g., "I want the tournament seeded correctly," 2025-03-11) and show empathy in specific cases (e.g., praising a mother’s intervention, 2025-02-28), but prioritize practical outcomes over sentiment. Critical Note: Their fairness can feel selective when they dismiss others’ views harshly. Cognitive Biases Assessment: Some present. Confirmation bias in defending favorites (e.g., "These guys are just better than Snyder," 2025-03-04) and black-and-white thinking in critiques (e.g., "Troll better," 2025-02-24). Generally, they’re self-aware enough to mitigate this. Critical Note: Emotional investment in wrestling narratives amplifies these biases occasionally. Creative or Conformist? Assessment: Creative. Original humor (e.g., "The Teleport," 2025-02-24) and speculative ideas (e.g., "John Wayne for their Iowa Dual," 2025-02-24) stand out, though they conform to wrestling culture norms. Critical Note: Creativity shines in banter but less so in structured analysis. Attachment Style Assessment: Secure. Balanced in interactions, neither overly seeking approval nor distant. They engage confidently but don’t cling to validation. Critical Note: Mild avoidant tendencies emerge when dismissing weaker posters (e.g., ignoring @Jimmy Cinnabon’s threads, 2025-02-26). Response to Stress Assessment: Mostly calm, with occasional lashing out. They handle forum debates well (e.g., detailed rebuttals) but snap when irritated (e.g., "Get a grip," 2025-03-04). Critical Note: Lashing out is rare but sharp, hinting at a low stress threshold in specific triggers. Cultural Influence Assessment: Likely American, with a Northeast/Mid-Atlantic bent (e.g., Philly recommendations, 2025-03-03; PA wrestling focus). Language reflects casual, sports-centric norms, with possible Italian-American ties (e.g., "All Jesus Team," 2025-03-07). Critical Note: Cultural specificity is subtle but ties to wrestling community values. Additional Observations Tone: Sarcastic (e.g., "Oops, my bad," 2025-02-24), informal, and occasionally formal (e.g., seed analyses). Shifts fluidly based on context. Emoji Use: Minimal. Rare instances (e.g., "Haha!" 2025-03-07) suggest restraint. Post Length: Varies widely. Short quips (e.g., "Yes," 2025-02-24) to long breakdowns (e.g., seed lists, 2025-03-05). Average is medium-length. : Popularized by Scott Adams, this describes flawed reasoning patterns associated with unproductive or self-defeating attitudes—e.g., focusing on petty grievances, blaming external forces, arguing for the sake of arguing, or wallowing in negativity without solutions. It’s less about IQ and more about mindset: a "loser" fixates on trivialities or fails to rise above emotional traps. Analysis Based on the User's Comments Midwit Behavior Evidence For: Shallow Reasoning: Some posts lack depth despite an air of confidence. For example, "Way too early take but Sealy gave ‘burned out’ vibes" (2025-02-15) is speculative and impressionistic, offering no evidence beyond a gut feeling. This could suggest a midwit tendency to toss out opinions without rigor. Conventional Wisdom: The user occasionally leans on broadly accepted wrestling norms without challenging them deeply—e.g., "Overall body of work is a more correct way to seed" (2025-03-10) echoes a common stance among fans but doesn’t explore edge cases or alternatives with nuance. Signaling Cleverness: Posts like "The Porta John converts all matter into Ionels" (2025-03-11) aim for humor and forum cred but don’t advance discussion, hinting at a midwit desire to appear witty rather than insightful. Similarly, their frequent sarcasm (e.g., "Troll better," 2025-02-24) can feel performative. Evidence Against: Above-Average Insight: Detailed breakdowns like the NCAA seeding lists (2025-03-05) and match analyses (e.g., "Snyder’s original problem was Sadulaev," 2025-03-03) show wrestling knowledge and reasoning beyond the average fan. These suggest they’re not just parroting but engaging with specifics. Self-Awareness: They acknowledge limits (e.g., "I might have to rewatch it," 2025-02-25) and avoid dogmatic overconfidence, which midwits often lack. Creativity: Original ideas like "The Teleport" (2025-02-24) or proposing a FloFilm (2025-03-12) indicate a willingness to step outside conventional thinking, distancing them from pure midwit territory. Critical Take: The user flirts with midwit behavior when they prioritize quips over substance or lean on surface-level takes. However, their wrestling expertise and occasional depth push them beyond the midwit stereotype. They’re not consistently shallow enough to fully fit this label. Loser Think Behavior Evidence For: Petty Grievances: They fixate on @Jimmy Cinnabon’s posts with irritation (e.g., "Your Iowa can win this year with Arnold and Ferrari… is absolutely dog sh*t and stupid," 2025-02-24), suggesting a loser-like tendency to dwell on trivial annoyances. Their call to ignore him (2025-02-26) is a solution, but the emotional energy spent beforehand feels petty. Arguing for Arguing’s Sake: Posts like "You’re just a hater" (2025-02-24) or "Get a grip" (2025-03-04) are reactive and low-effort, hinting at a loser mindset of engaging in conflict without constructive intent. Negativity Without Solutions: Criticisms like "People are getting delusional" (2025-03-04) or "No one should ever take Andrew Spey seriously" (2025-02-17) vent frustration but rarely offer alternatives, aligning with loser think’s unproductive tone. Evidence Against: Problem-Solving: They propose actionable ideas—e.g., "I’ve thought of making a thread for the board on recommendations" (2025-03-03) or suggesting NCAA adopt international weight classes (2025-02-17)—showing a proactive streak that counters loser think. Community Focus: Their engagement (e.g., "Always appreciate you bringing the raw truth," 2025-02-15) and camaraderie (e.g., "Fun night fellas," 2025-03-09) reflect a positive contribution to the forum, not a defeated or blame-heavy mindset. Humor as Resilience: Playful posts (e.g., "Double bump," 2025-02-10; "John Wayne for their Iowa Dual," 2025-02-24) demonstrate an ability to rise above stress, unlike loser think’s wallowing. Critical Take: The user dips into loser think when annoyed, lashing out at weaker posters or getting snarky without purpose. Yet, their overall tone is upbeat, and they don’t consistently exhibit the self-defeating or petty fixation of a true "loser" mindset. Synthesis and Conclusion Midwit Tendencies: Mild. The user occasionally coasts on surface-level takes or leans on sarcasm to seem clever, which flirts with midwit behavior. However, their wrestling knowledge, detailed analyses, and creative sparks suggest they’re not stuck in the shallow middle of the intellectual bell curve. They’re closer to a "highwit" with midwit lapses than a pure midwit. Loser Think Tendencies: Moderate. They show flashes of loser think—petty snipes, emotional reactions, and unproductive critiques—but these are outweighed by their constructive engagement, humor, and problem-solving. They’re not a chronic complainer or blame-shifter, but they’re not immune to emotional traps either. Critical Lens Applied: Being slightly more critical, their midwit moments (e.g., performative humor, unchallenged norms) and loser think slips (e.g., targeting @Jimmy Cinnabon) stand out as weaknesses. These behaviors don’t dominate but reveal a tendency to prioritize social play or venting over consistent depth or upliftment. Still, their strengths in expertise and community spirit keep them from fully embodying either label. In short, the user engages in midwit and loser think behavior sporadically, particularly under stress or when bantering, but it’s not their default mode. Their ENTP traits—curiosity, wit, and adaptability—mostly steer them toward sharper, more productive contributions.
  22. Agreed. It doesn't take into account that someone smart may not care about editing on the Intermat. Typos left in a legal briefing or medical software is a red flag on intelligence.
  23. This analysis is based on the date time, topic title, and comments only. It would be interesting to do a mass analysis based on topic titles, topic creator, and creation date time. Maybe another day.
  24. Red Viking is a scrappy, loudmouth ENTJ—smart enough to argue (110-115 IQ), but too hotheaded to shine. They’re low on agreeableness, high on extraversion, and bounce between trolling and preaching. Fairness drives them, but they’re cynical as hell—“let it burn” sums it up. They’re not leading anyone or chasing status—just slugging it out with “wingers” for the thrill of it. The ban-and-return thing says they’re hooked on the fight, risks and all. Are They a Troll? Yeah, there’s a decent chance they’re trolling at least some of the time. They’ve got this knack for tossing out provocative jabs—like calling people “wingers,” “idiots,” or slapping “diaper boy” and “orange diaper man” on Trump (e.g., "Orange boy wears diapers. It's well documented," 2025-03-09). That’s not exactly subtle debate; it’s poking the bear with a stick. They disrupt threads too—look at "Lmfao. You obviously don't kniw what 'geologic time scales' means. Do u believe the earth is flat too?" (2025-03-10). It’s less about reasoning and more about getting a rise out of folks. But they’re not a full-on troll. They’ve got moments where they’re clearly serious, pulling out facts or logic—like citing CO2 permanence (2025-03-09) or the Laffer curve (2025-02-14). It’s like they flip between sincerely arguing their point and just messing with people. The fact they got banned and came back with the same vibe suggests they enjoy stirring the pot enough to keep at it, even after a slap on the wrist. So, part troll, part crusader—depends on the day. Estimated IQ I’d guess around 110-115—solidly above average, but not genius territory. They’ve got a decent vocabulary (“strawman,” “regressive tax,” “milankoviych cycles”) and can handle some tricky topics like climate science or economics (e.g., "The thermal max was 8,000 yrs ago," 2025-03-10). But their reasoning’s patchy—sometimes it’s sharp, other times it’s just emotional venting (e.g., "We’re rapidly becoming a lot more like Russia or N Korea," 2025-03-10, with no backup). Typos like “kniw” or “thst” and rushed posts don’t scream brilliance either. They’re smart enough to keep up, but not dazzling. Dark Triad Fit Narcissism: A little. They don’t brag about themselves, but there’s this smug “I’m the smart one here” vibe—like "Most h.s. kids can explain why this is a strawman" (2025-03-10). It’s not loud attention-seeking, just quiet superiority. Machiavellianism: Some hints. They’re tactical, pushing buttons with stuff like “Documentation of crimes please” (2025-03-10) to trip people up. But it’s not super manipulative—just scrappy debate moves. Psychopathy: Low-ish. They’re prickly and love a fight (e.g., "Let it burn, baby burn!!!" 2025-03-10), but it’s not cold or heartless. They’re mad, not detached—more passion than malice. They dabble in these traits, mostly narcissism and a sprinkle of psychopathy, but it’s not their driving force. They’re too wound up in their causes for that. Positive or Negative? Mostly negative. They’re critical and snarky—think "The hypocrisy of the wingers at it again" (2025-03-10) or "What a joke" (2025-03-04). Even when they toss in sympathy ("I feel bad for the poor guy. Really really bad," 2025-03-10), it’s quick and buried under sarcasm or anger. They’re not lifting anyone up—they’re here to tear stuff down. Data or Emotion? It’s a toss-up, but emotion usually wins. They drop facts when it suits them—Milankovitch cycles (2025-03-10), Laffer curve (2025-02-14)—and demand proof from others ("Back it up," 2025-02-18). But then they veer into rants like "Completely screwing over his brothers kids" (2025-03-02) or "VERY disturbing" (2025-03-11) with no data to back it. They’ve got a logical streak, but it’s riding shotgun to their feelings. Big Five Assessment Openness: High. They’re into big ideas—climate change, trade wars, constitutional stuff (e.g., 2025-02-19). They’re not stuck on practical nuts and bolts; they like the abstract. Conscientiousness: Low. Posts are sloppy—typos, uneven depth. Some are meaty (e.g., 2025-02-18 on liberal women), others are lazy ("Omg," 2025-03-10). They’re not sweating the details. Extraversion: High. They’re loud, in-your-face, posting like crazy—over 200 times in a month. No shy wallflower here. Agreeableness: Super low. They’re harsh and combative—“pathetic,” “idiots,” “morally weak” (e.g., 2025-03-05). Cooperation’s not their thing. Neuroticism: Moderate. They’re moody—flipping from "LETS GO!!!!" (2025-03-10) to "I’m completely embarrassed to live in this country" (2025-02-28). Not unhinged, but definitely touchy. MBTI Personality Type I’d peg them as ENTJ (“The Commander”). Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I): E. They’re all over these forums, throwing punches left and right. No quiet lurking. Intuition (N) vs. Sensing (S): N. They lean toward big-picture stuff—trade wars, government overreach—over nitty-gritty details. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): T. They try to stick to logic and facts, even if emotion creeps in. It’s more about winning arguments than hugging it out. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): J. They’re decisive—everything’s “wingers are wrong,” “Musk’s a fraud.” No waffling or open-ended vibes. ENTJ nails their bossy, argumentative energy, though the emotional flare-ups add a twist. Emotional Intelligence So-so. They’re sharp enough to spot weak spots in others’ arguments and tweak their tone to poke or preach (sarcasm vs. data). But they don’t give a damn about anyone’s feelings—empathy’s off the table. They’re adaptable in a fight, not in a “let’s connect” way. Leadership Tendencies A bit, but not the inspiring kind. They’re decisive—“Let me explain what this is really about” (2025-02-14)—and try to steer the convo, but they’re too abrasive to rally anyone. It’s more “follow me or get lost” than “let’s work together.” Motivated by Social Status? Nah. They’re not chasing clout or respect—no showing off or name-dropping. They just want to be right and shove it in “wingers’” faces. It’s about the argument, not the applause. Risk Tolerance Pretty high. They’re bold—dishing out lines like "He’s now officially trying to be a dictator" (2025-02-15) or "Let it burn" (2025-03-11) without flinching. Coming back after a ban seals it—they’re not scared of consequences. Moral/Ethical Framework They’re big on fairness—constantly railing against “hypocrisy” (e.g., 2025-03-10) and power grabs (e.g., Musk bypassing Congress, 2025-02-19). There’s a utilitarian angle too—“let it burn” (2025-03-11) suggests they’re okay with chaos if it proves a point. Empathy pops up (e.g., Palestinians, 2025-02-12), but it’s picky—only for their side. Cognitive Biases Confirmation Bias: Yup. They latch onto anything that fits their “Trump/Musk suck” storyline—like stock market drops (2025-03-06)—and dodge anything else. Black-and-White Thinking: Definitely. It’s all “wingers” vs. the good guys—no middle ground. Opponents are “idiots” or “corrupt”; no in-between. Creative or Conformist? Kinda creative. Their insults—“orange diaper man,” “President Musk”—have some flair, and their sarcasm’s got bite (e.g., "Brilliant," 2025-02-12). But their takes are stuck in a predictable anti-right rut—not exactly wild innovation. Attachment Style Probably Avoidant. They’re distant—no personal stories, no warmth, just barbs. They don’t seek approval (anxious) or play nice (secure). It’s all arms-length arguing. Response to Stress They lash out. Pushback gets snappy comebacks like "Another deflection. Wow you guys are on a teflon party today" (2025-03-02) or "Keep drinking the kool aid" (2025-03-02). No cool-headed retreat—just claws out. Cultural Influence American, lefty online vibes all the way. “Wingers,” “fat cats,” “strawman”—that’s straight from the U.S. political internet playbook. Their fixation on checks and balances (e.g., 2025-02-19) and digs at religion ("Religion is for the mentally weak," 2025-02-18) scream progressive, secular U.S. forum culture. Tone, Emoji Use, Post Length Tone: Sarcastic and sharp, sometimes preachy. "Lmfao" (2025-03-04), "What a joke" (2025-03-04), "Brilliant" (2025-02-12)—it’s mocking or scolding, rarely neutral. Emoji Use: Light. Mostly exclamation points (“LETS GO!!!!”, 2025-03-10) for punch, no frilly stuff. Matches their no-nonsense style. Post Length: All over. Quick shots (“Funny one,” 2025-03-08) mix with longer rants (e.g., 2025-02-18 on liberal women, 200+ words). They flex depending on the scrap. Do They Behave Like a Midwit? A "midwit" is someone with middling intelligence—smart enough to grasp basic ideas but not sharp enough to wrestle with complexity or nuance. They often overconfidently parrot simplified takes, thinking they’ve cracked the code, while missing deeper layers. Does this poster fit? Let’s see. Evidence For Midwit Behavior: Overconfidence in Basic Concepts: They throw around terms like “strawman” (e.g., "Total strawman. This has been discussed & addressed thousands of times," 2025-03-10) or “Laffer curve” (2025-02-14, "Look up the Laffer curve. It’s a very simple economic concept") like they’re dropping profound wisdom. But their follow-through’s shallow—e.g., the Laffer curve mention doesn’t grapple with real-world data or counterarguments, just assumes it shuts down the debate. That’s peak midwit: acting like Econ 101 is a mic drop. Black-and-White Thinking: They see everything as “wingers” (bad) vs. their side (good)—no gray areas. Take "The hypocrisy of the wingers at it again" (2025-03-10) or "He’s now officially trying to be a dictator" (2025-02-15). It’s simplistic moralizing, not nuanced analysis. Midwits love these clean binaries because they’re easy to wield. Emotional Overreach: They’ll start with a fact—like "The thermal max was 8,000 yrs ago" (2025-03-10)—then leap to "This is VERY basic info that repeatedly goes in one winger ear and out the other." It’s a midwit move: take a decent point, inflate it with smugness, and dodge the harder questions (e.g., why Milankovitch cycles don’t fully explain current warming rates). Repetitive Buzzwords: “Wingers,” “diaper boy,” “fat cats”—they lean hard on these snappy labels (e.g., "The wingers are gonna crash the dollar," 2025-02-14). It’s clever enough to sound witty, but it’s a crutch, not a sign of deep insight. Midwits love catchy shorthand over substance. Evidence Against Midwit Behavior: Some Complexity: They occasionally tackle trickier stuff—like distinguishing correlation from causation (2025-02-18, "This is only a correlation and not a cause-effect relationship") or citing CO2’s permanence (2025-03-09). That’s a step beyond basic talking points, showing they can stretch past the shallow end. Engagement: Over 200 posts in a month isn’t lazy—they’re scrappy and persistent, even if sloppy. Midwits often coast; this one’s at least swinging. Verdict: They’ve got midwit tendencies—overconfidence, simplistic framing, buzzword reliance—but they’re not a textbook case. They’re a notch above, with flashes of sharper thinking that get muddied by emotion and posturing. Call it “midwit-plus”—smart enough to play the game, not wise enough to master it. Do They Use Loserthink? “Loserthink,” per Scott Adams, is sloppy reasoning that traps people in mental ruts—relying on tribal loyalty, emotional traps, or bad logic instead of clear, practical thought. It’s the opposite of disciplined problem-solving. Let’s break it down. Evidence For Loserthink: Tribal Loyalty: They’re obsessed with “wingers” as the enemy—every post drips with it (e.g., "The wingers playbook," 2025-02-19; "Wingers are all for free speech but only if they like what’s being said," 2025-03-10). It’s us-vs-them on steroids, a classic loserthink trap where group identity trumps reason. Ad Hominem Overload: Instead of dismantling arguments, they often just dunk on people—“idiots,” “pathetic,” “morally weak” (e.g., "The morally weak wingers in congress," 2025-02-15). "Keep drinking the kool aid" (2025-03-02) dismisses opponents without engaging. Loserthink loves personal attacks over substance. Emotional Reasoning: They let feelings steer the ship—“VERY disturbing” (2025-03-11), "I’m completely embarrassed to live in this country" (2025-02-28), "We’re rapidly becoming a lot more like Russia or N Korea" (2025-03-10). These are gut punches, not reasoned takes. Loserthink thrives on passion over proof. Hyperbole as Argument: "He’s now officially trying to be a dictator" (2025-02-15) or "The wingers are gonna crash the dollar with their record deficits" (2025-02-14)—big claims, no evidence. Loserthink leans on exaggeration to sound smart without doing the work. Confirmation Bias: They cherry-pick to fit their narrative—stock market crashes are always Trump/Musk’s fault (e.g., 2025-03-06), but gains under Biden get a nod (2025-03-04). It’s selective storytelling, a loserthink red flag. Evidence Against Loserthink: Fact-Based Moments: They do pull data sometimes—Milankovitch cycles (2025-03-10), CO2 emissions (2025-03-09), or demanding "Documentation of crimes please" (2025-03-10). That’s not pure emotional flailing; it’s a stab at logic, even if shaky. Calling Out Fallacies: They spot “strawman” arguments (e.g., 2025-03-10, "Total strawman") and push for evidence (e.g., "Back it up," 2025-02-18). Loserthinkers usually don’t bother with that—they just yell louder. Problem-Solving Hints: They suggest fixes occasionally—like "Allocate funding to fix it" (2025-02-12) for federal retirement systems. It’s not deep, but it’s not just whining either. Verdict: They’re steeped in loserthink—tribalism, ad hominems, and emotional hyperbole dominate their style. But they’re not fully lost; they’ve got a toehold in rational thought with facts and fallacy-spotting. It’s like they’re half-aware of better thinking but too lazy or mad to stick with it. Loserthink’s their default, not their limit. Tying It Together Midwit Fit: They act like a midwit-plus—overconfident with basic ideas (e.g., "Economics 101" flexes), stuck on black-and-white takes, and leaning on snappy phrases. But they’ve got enough juice to occasionally push past the shallow end, keeping them from pure midwittery. Loserthink Fit: They’re neck-deep in loserthink—tribal “wingers” bashing, emotional rants, and lazy insults. Yet they flash just enough logic to suggest they could climb out if they tried harder. Anger’s their anchor. This poster’s a scrappy fighter with a decent brain (110-115 IQ from my last take), but they squander it on midwit swagger and loserthink habits. They’re not dumb—they’re just too pissed off and dug-in to shine.
  25. xAI’s pinned us as sarcastic, fight-hungry rabble-rousers... doing its damnedest to gauge our smarts from the words we sling and the shade we throw. It’s got limits!
