Daemons

You: What's your Myers-Briggs type?
Stranger: INTP.
You: I'm INTJ / INTP
Stranger: Sometimes I get INFP but I'm not a feeler.
Stranger: What's your favourite animal?
You: I can't think of one
Stranger: I like Pine martens.
Stranger: I could give a really weird answer(not sexual though).
Stranger: It's related to myers briggs.
You: Go ahead
Stranger: Basically you can analyse the traits of an animal to fit a humans personality.
You: So you're personifying the animals?
Stranger: Yeah, do you know Jung?
You: yes
Stranger: Do you know the anima?
You: no
Stranger: It's basically the female part of a males mind. The animus is the male part of a female mind
Stranger: Here's something you can check on wikipedia Daemons.
Stranger: Which is jung pychology meets animals.
Stranger: I'll give you a link.
Stranger: http://findyourdaemon.googlepages.com/home
Stranger: What do you think?
You: I am ambivalent
You: It is simultaneously unrealistic and an interesting concept
Stranger: You'd be surprised how many debate that in our community. It's a mental construct, not magic a way of forming your thought process.
You: What community do you speak of
Stranger: It's the daemon forum.
Stranger: But's it's locked at the moment and guests can't get in.
You: too many trolls?
Stranger: No we rarely get trolls.
Stranger: We had to lock it from Something awful.
Stranger: Who took things out of context.
You: It's one of those things where I would do it as a mental exercise but would be concerned if someone found out that I was doing such things (thinking I'm crazy)
Stranger: Well you don't have to tell anyone that's the beauty. It's a personal thing.
Stranger: Analysing your personality to find out who you are.
You: I'm introspective, but I'm not sure how this would help me
You: how has it changed you?
Stranger: Well it helped me realise I'm not perfect.
Stranger: I have faults but it's helped me realise who I am.
You: I don't think I want a secondary voice. I have enough trouble with just one brain
Stranger: Wait there's another site I'd think you'd like to see which has more information.
Stranger: http://www.daemonpage.com/
Stranger: This was how I found out about daemons.
You: Do a lot of people on the daemon forums end up as furries? (genuine question)
Stranger: NO!
Stranger: Alot of them aren't.
Stranger: Alot of people are as sceptical as you and it's taken very seriously and logically.
Stranger: http://daemonpage.com/forum/
Stranger: I don't know if the link will work for you though.
Stranger: Than you can browse for yourself, there is alot of debate in this forum.
You: I am put off by most of the posts I've read so far
Stranger: Why what have people said?
You: changing text color to indicate that the daemon is speaking
You: it is a bit too flamboyant and childish
Stranger: Well that's just people.
Stranger: And people do it for fun.
Stranger: Most forumers don't do it too often.
Stranger: And people who do it constanly aren't taken as seriously.
You: I'm having a hard time finding the skeptics
Stranger: If you don't like it, you don't like it, it's not for everyone.
You: I think the concept of self analysis is right but the approach is too... unscientific
You: That's not even the right word, it's more like it's too far-fetched
Stranger: Well it's not magic.
Stranger: It's splitting your though process and finding an animal form that suits your personality.
