Perseus Pathos Thread

[Perseus]

Perseus Pathos Scale


Psychopath: estranged from self and society, no insight
Sociopath: estranged from society, or coterie or sub-culture
Sympathetic: neutral, fence sitter
Empath: attuned to the prevailing societies mores at the prevailing time
Telepath: attuned to archetypal society mores, insight to a high degree

British Telepath is not very reliable nowadays. Best to go mobile.

No, i think it is quite arbitrary. (All these polls.)
I am not so keen on polls, so i don't answer most of the time.

At first I thought this was a thread about what Perseus' pathological issues are.

Pathos = feeling, but not (I think?) in the MTBI way of looking at things. I think it is feeling, but not the Jungian (opposed to Thinking).

It has been surmised that Feeling and Thinking cannot occur at the same time. I have never agreed with this, but then there is Perception.

At a Telepath state (there is a switch on and off) it all sort of merges into one. I think Telepath is probably INFP, and this would be regarded as pathological by any of the Judging rather than Perceiving typologicals*.

*Nastier than pathological.

I had information, that pathos, translating from Greek language, means "disease, illness".

Pathos - passionate rave, high elation (to talk with pathos; her speech was full of pathos).
