Personality Types: What's yours? Chat/Discussion/Help/Connections

[bartermania]

No idea whether you tend to be more extraverted than introverted...intuitive than sensing...thinking than feeling...and/or judgemental than perceiving in general? Based on what these are supposed to reflect/represent...isn't it possible to find a somewhat descriptive "label" (bad word?) of sorts? It's not anything set in stone...rather it's a rough but, hopefully somewhat accurate description. Not possible?

There are some folks that really don't want others to know too much about them....I've talked with at least 2 to this point. Maybe in your case it can't be done. Maybe you don't want to do it. We all know you don't have to do it. A rebel with a cause. :)

Here are some other things which are not tested but are very important traits of people: physical beauty, physical strength, intelligence and character (good versus bad issues). These four letter descriptions certainly don't tell it all. These tests are tools that can be useful in helping communication and understanding. Hopefully, they will not make communication worse. They are tests that are designed to show preferences...especially, the MBTI tests. It is possible to to be right in the middle of all of the functions...and thus, one could say they were unbiased. If, that is the case...then, that is the case.

For me, these tests still help me to better understand who I'm dealing/interacting/talking with. And these tests and the answers given, in all respects, can be manipulated. Lies to one's self and others will likely become apparent with time...that is to say that dishonest people could give/present false information. But, since actions speak louder than words...over time others should be able to see the inconsistencies. The way one writes: the words used, how they are used and so on presents a lot of information IMO to one who is attentive to such things.

Yeah, I'd like to have fun here too :) But, I'm also hoping to learn some things (generalizations and more) about others...hopefully, through the use of some self-identifying tools...and develop some good friendships if, possible. You can honestly make the attempts to find some of these labels that best fit you or you may not. I cannot force you nor will I try. At this point, I'm stilling trying to find people who are interested in putting a few helpful labels on themselves...so, I can understand where they may be coming from better and also to let others know where I'm coming from better.

All of this is about knowing yourself better and others too. This is a process. It is not static. I am not preaching laws. I am talking about things (again especially MBTI) that are helpful and do work. Our knowledge/the knowledge is not complete...nor are we as people. Most people have particular tendencies...likes and dislikes...do you? If so, that's again what the MBTI test seeks to find.

This board is a work in progress. I'm still considering many things. Hopefully, many folks will find others they like and get along with well here. Hopefully, people will learn a little more about people and themselves too...if, they so choose.
