I never liked Miss Piggy. I had a serious childhood crush on Kermit. But I am surely primarily an Order Muppet (granted, with a strong chaos streak). Now that I think of it, though, I married a Chaos Muppet who wears his order streak with great aplomb.

Sometimes that's a disaster for everybody because the Chaos Muppet can't do it. Sometimes the Chaos Muppet can manage it, which is only a disaster for the Chaos Muppet.<br /><br />Richard Russo's Straight Man is the tragedy of a Chaos Muppet who becomes department chair.Doctor Clevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326408523926507003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-65293037100651319092015-10-05T14:16:15.132-04:002015-10-05T14:16:15.132-04:00How I love that.

I haven't thought of this as much with my Muppet type, but I definitely see it with the MBTI. I've always thought that I react somewhat *against* the types I'm dealing with (or, to put it more positively, I act to be more complementary). Around introverts I can play the extrovert, and around people who are more rigid I can be more laid back.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-8947925485409870712015-10-04T04:18:48.871-04:002015-10-04T04:18:48.871-04:00As a kid, I admired Kermit and always assumed I wa...As a kid, I admired Kermit and always assumed I was an Order Muppet, but now that I'm older and live with a schoolteacher who spends all day keeping 150 teenagers in line, I find myself playing the necessary role, sometimes, of Chaos Muppet. It's a mystery to me how that happened, but I suppose Muppet types are relative rather than absolute.
