I feel like this this chapter didn’t have a bunch of plans they don’t remember scheduling, but it’s okay to cancel sometimes. I guess she cancelled the homework plan since she didn’t do anything though. Anyway, definitely another great chapter!

This title really needs an "idiot couple" tag. But as the Meyers Briggs test reveals, they are compatible and perfect for each other.

Are they really an idiot couple if only one of them is the idiot? I say with all of the love in my heart, Ichiko is a loveable idiot.

Love Kuran's outfit this chapter

Jung’s conception of introversion and extroversion comes from Freud, and had less to do with liking to be around people and more about your cognitive functions. Jung expanded on Freud and began to articulate a personality typology. Modern MBTI tests will pay lip service to Jung when results don’t line up with self-perception, though the content is quite far removed from Jung aside from the fascism and the spirituality. In the United States, at least, these tests are in practice somewhat deterministic because we have many superstitious idiots in powerful places.

The original Myers and Briggs were a mother and daughter team, which started with Myers, the mother, doing psychological experiments on the daughter, Briggs, during childhood. Myers was obsessed with Jung to the point of writing self insert yaoi fanfiction which was rejected by every publisher she submitted it to. In the decades following WWII, the CIA was conducting a lot of personality research (think: Black Panthers, Weather Underground, Courtney Love), so Briggs was finally able to find institutional backing. The findings suggested personality resisted type and that theirs was a fraught taxonomy, so they were ultimately booted from the lab. The daughter was still able to sell the exam to Human Resources departments who, being populated by middle-class white women in the 70s, were a bunch of self-help heads and wanted a way to weed out rebels and slackers. From the outset, these types were codified to mark people as unemployable. Both Myers and Briggs believed everybody had a potential and some were best relegated to menial existences in the home. I read a biography about them because I wanted to prove to a friend it was bullshit.

Yes I did get ENTP and no I do not have a full time job.

She tried. She really tried. But some people just don't learn...

Nah, chapter nine had us covered for the needed tag for this couple: Stubborn Asocial Prattling Nerd Bitch x Chronically Anxious Asocial Brat Sheep

Very interesting post . . . I was always skeptical, nice to know my skepticism was warranted.
At the same time . . . how does a woman write SELF-INSERT yaoi fanfiction?

Oh, that's easy. :P

MBTI and all of these online personality tests are bs, they're no better than the horoscope. But it's absolutely true Ichiko and Kuran are perfect for each other.

Truth

While I'm not saying that the elements don't complement each other, their outfits this chapter were kind of wacky. Well, mostly Kuran's.
Other than that, the TLN was really neat.

"Self insert yaoi fanfiction" sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole. (If you want to cut to the chase and read it yourself, the unpublished book is titled "The Man from Zurich". You should be able to find it online.)

I was looking up the Symphogear headgear designs and realized just now (after many uninterrupted minutes of hearing "jii..." and "dess" reproduced in high fidelity in my head) that this manga is basically a KiriShira AU

I mean... hmmm. Shirabe maturing into something like Kuran does seem plausible. Kirika is about as much of a lovable dummy as Ichiko, but I do think Ichiko is more than a smidgen shier than Kirika. Not outside the realm of possibilities for an AU version I suppose, but pretty notable.
