Myer Briggs Illustrated

I added these illustations to a post wrote last winter: Myers Briggs and Communication but I like them enough to just brazenly post them, on their own, without any explanation. Perhaps I will get a reputation for being reckless!

There might be a nutter out there somewhere that these might mean something to.

Here goes.....











For those pictures don't work for.....

    I like it Molly...but then again I do love Myers Briggs as it helped me understand why I was a social misfit.

    Yes. You are really extreme on the P and N spectra yes?

    Makes you creative but also make you a genuine freak.

    My pleasure.
    Most people fall close to the middle of each spectra. A bell curve sits on top of each one to represent each position on the spectrum's occurence in the population

    Oh and another thing. You are allowed to meet new people without 'typing' them. that is a little over the top.

    The cool thing about all this is that it's understandable in any language because of the drawing. Even colorblind people who can't see the difference between red and green would still be able to make out the 'squiggles of thinking'.

    INTJ for me. Bet you are something like ESFP

    Maybe ENFP?

    Andy C - you are my comfort commenter. xx (INFP)

    Eric - (INTJ???) I like that...squiggles of thinking...squinking for short huh? You didn'r reply to my last email...do YOU get to decide which inventions get the go ahead????

    Mark - I am E, very N, F, very P. I love ESFPs (they make every moment a party) but they make me look 'steady' and focused! ESFPs tend to HATE myers briggs - can't stay around long enough to enjoy or conceptualise its practical applications....My N ness is very apparent.....perhaps not as much as I thought!!! Carl Jung said we spend the second half of our lives exploring the other end of the spectrum....perhaps that's what I am doing.

    I know an extraordinary large number of INTJs and INFJs considering they are relatively rare. Your INTJ-ness is apparent from you blog.

    Molly, you're talking in code but I can recognise a categorisation scheme when I see one... where do i find out which box I'm in?

    Leovi - as do your asombroso photos

    Clipster - I've been chez clipster again and found you had done your homework. Surprising. I was expecting rebellion. I award you an A+. You are the best crazeeeee blogger lady I know. (That is an award).

    Hi Gill,
    It's Myers Briggs personality preferences. I have blogged about it a bit in the past and have my regular followers all typed!!!!!!! (Not really)
    There's a free online test

    http://torturedcreative.blogspot.com/2009/12/myers-briggs-and-communication.html

    or just look at the pictures and see which of each pair you identify with most. I might guess you were an INFJ - although You might be T.

    Molly, believe it or not, I'm probably ENTP. I'm still on the fence about I or E.

    A group of people decides about whether an investment is go/no go. It is actually pretty exciting though, because sometimes it can mean bringing great new products to the world.

  23. Molly Potter8 November 2010 at 10:02

    Ahah!

    ENTP - my cousin!
    Quick thinking, creative, fact manipulator that can argue any side of any argument?
    INTP - 'things' and 'concepts' people.

    ooh, good guess, Molly-master-of-the-Myers-Briggs
    INTJ... apparently I'm a mastermind (doesn't say whether I'm a Dr Evil sort of Mastermind or a Magnus Magnusson kind). But there you go, can't argue with the facts...

  25. Molly Potter8 November 2010 at 14:55

    See that's the difference between people I have met and those I haven't. I haven't met Eric - but he's an undisputed N (a very clever N at that!)

    It can be hard to be a female INTJ - it's a little counter-culture! They usually expect very high standards...of themsleves and others. I'd go Magnus Magnusson (or Lisa Simpson!!!)

    Clipster....I knew you'd like your award. The ceremony wasn't that formal and you weren't actually required to kneel - just curtsey. The trophy was a pink and gold blow up one and huge but you managed to person-handle it into the car and it's now in your back yard for all the see. These awards were sponsored by Fruit and Nut

    Codgi - well observed! I like that too...have you seen what happened to the perceivers T and I? Not so straightforward there!

    Yes, I did notice the perceiver's Ts and Is.... Looking at your pictures, I'm happy with my INTJ "rating" but I'm finding that if I re-do the test, the results vary a bit with my mood.

    Last time (a facebook "quiz") I came out INFP

  30. Molly Potter11 November 2010 at 18:53

    Codgi,
    I haven't actually met you but you come across as very INTJ (although you could muster a P) The Facebook test isn't so good. Self diagnosis is best.

    INFPs are the most sensitive of all the types. Driven by a strong set of inner values (rather than principles - thinkers have principles). I will send you the profile for INTP and INFP...I already sent uoi INTJ yes?

    Hi Molls, you've sent me the INTJ profile, and it fits comfortably with me.

    I'm not sure about the difference between principles and values as it applies to me.

    The IN bit seems to be pretty definite though.

  32. Molly Potter13 November 2010 at 10:27

    I like 'The Codge' You sound like a gangster.

    I went to send the other profiles but my net went down just as I was about to press send!

    Will try again when I have finished taking children to parties!!!

Breaking the blog spell...

My beautifully captivating and mesmerising big sister cast a spell on me. It was a spell that would make me sit in up in the clouds and write a blog every single day...mostly for her benefit - as she dutifully and kindly read and commented on each one. Being easily coaxed into most things and liking the idea of a blog meant this spell was fine...for a while. Then.....I was sitting minding my own business (I look quite funny when I do that - most people do) when a huge green common-sense elf wearing red hotpants came and waved his wand at me declaring, "Writing a blog every day when you work full time, have two youngish children and a million projects on the go at any one time, is a little silly. You can waffle on and on about just about anything and do have about forty draft blogs saved ready to run, but it's probably best you aim more for quality than quantity and only write about slightly more fully formed ideas! After all, less IS more." I was released -although I fear...

51 quirky features of Norwich Cathedral that you can go and find

Image
I have always loved Norwich Cathedral as it is beautiful and atmospheric. But it turns out that it is also loaded with a hotchpotch of history as building started in 1096. The more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become. So here are my recommendations for what to look out for should you ever visit the cathedral. 1) The Elizabethan grave of Thomas Gooding Thomas was a mason of the cathedral. He paid a fair amount of money to be buried upright because he believed this would give him an advantage come judgement day. At the base of his memorial is a typical of its time, poignantly death-focused inscription: 'All you that do this pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am so shall you be Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement day' If you look at the skeleton, you will see there is poor knowledge of anatomy. 2) The grave of the baby that died before she was born . I have been told that this is be...

Anal Retention Test

Image
I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b...
