The Man - The Master

Quote by MasterJonathan
That is the best Master Checklist I have ever seen! Well done and AMEN!

Quote by syrianna
This.
Is.
Fucking.
Perfect!!!

Any woman who thinks a man is a Master needs to check this out. If he doesn't measure up, he isn't worthy of being a Master.

I think I'm gonna have to copy this. It's amazing. Thank you for sharing!

Any man who thinks he is a Master should also check this out, it would sure keep the list short of those who 'call' themselves Master and aren't.

Quote by syrianna


Precisely. Too many (even here) call themselves Master, and yet have no true understanding of the real responsibilities.

Sounds like this shit is about an oversensitive vegan masturbator.

JFC, Felix. Not EVERYTHING is about you.

Quote by Magical_felix


Make sense when you talk to me. Thank you.

No worries kiddo. It'll click sooner or later.

Quote by Magical_felix


My dick.

Remove yourself from it.

Quote by slipperywhenwet2012


Your dick, much like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, is nonexistent.

I'm sure there are different opinions on the poem but Interesting non the less.

Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt and dangers of the world. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products and procedures rather than change to new. At work Protectors are seldom happy in situations where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms.

Wanting to be of service to others, Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden, and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. They are not as outgoing and talkative as the Provider Guardians [ESFJs], and their shyness is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth Protectors are warm-hearted and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need.

Their reserve ought really to be seen as an expression of their sincerity and seriousness of purpose. The most diligent of all the types, Protectors are willing to work long, hard hours quietly doing all the thankless jobs that others manage to avoid. Protectors are quite happy working alone; in fact, in positions of authority they may try to do everything themselves rather than direct others to get the job done. Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for them. When Protectors undertake a task, they will complete it if humanly possible.

It that poem was a personality test the man in question would come out as a "Protector" or ISFJ - they make up about 10% of the population:

Quote by trinket
I agree, this is a very good checklist. I wish I had seen this before I encountered a very Dark character here who declared himself to be something in the nature of a 'Sir' but after reading this it is clear, oh so VERY clear he was far from it. The 'wanna be's" are just predators. I think I'll print this and stick it on my forehead.

Quote by littlebirdie92
So I stumbled across this interesting list on a website I though you would enjoy. I'm sure there are different opinions on the poem but Interesting nonetheless.

A Man who displays sensitivity Will be a Master who is sensitive to you

A Man who displays humility will be a Master who will show you respect

A Man who is not afraid to cry will be a Master who understands your tears

A Man who is quiet will be a Master who will hear your quietest whisper

A Man who knows fear will be a Master who will not leave you to face yours alone

A Man who will listen to a child will be a Master who will always work to understand your words

A Man who can stand alone will be a Master who will not crush you under His weight

A Man who controls Himself with ease will be a Master with the ability to control you in the same way

A Man who does not have to prove His point will be a Master with many worthwhile points to share

A Man who never makes demands will be a Master who treasures anything you give

A Man who doesn't run after you will be a Master you will never need to run away from

A Man who is calm will be a Master who can weather your storms

A Man who has walked the path to peace will be a Master able to guide you along that path

A Man who does not shout will be a Master who will never deafen you

A Man who knows Himself will be a Master who will have time to know you

A Man who knows Himself will be a Master who will have time to know you

A Man who never stops learning will be a Master who never stops growing

A Man who always seeks to be the best He can be for you is the only Man truly worthy of being called Master.

I dont believe a Master who fits this exists.

Quote by Magical_felix


That's what I am actually. I've taken that test a bunch of times and it's always the protector. It's INFJ though not ISFJ

What do you base this theory on? I'm not like what this poem describes really.

And I believe it is lower than 10%. It is the rarest personality type. INFJ is like 1%. If you mean the protector personality.

Quote by overmykneenow


According to Keirsey.com ISFJ relates to the "Guardian" type "Protector" - link: http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/protector.asp

INFJ would correlate to the Keirsey "Idealist" role of "Counsellor", who as you say make up a much smaller percentage of the population (1-3%) - http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/counselor.asp

I based my evaluation of the man in the poem being an ISFJ on how he is described. The description paints a circumspect individual, so Introvert (I) rather an Extrovert (E). From the first line sensitivity and empathy are seen as key personality factors these would steer towards Sensing (S) and Feeling (F) as opposed to the more objective Intuition (N) and Thinking (T) traits. The last one is a bit more a guess but I'd say the more focussed and planned aspects of Judging (J) are more apt than the improvised aspects of Perceiving (P).
