what is your myers-briggs personality type?

if you're unfamiliar with it, you can take a test here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp.

Spike, without psychology, you would have no diagnosis for your Asperger's. You would just be an idiot. Thanks to scientific study of the mind, the field of psychology, we understand things like autism better and are learning more all the time.

Myers-Briggs has nothing to do with fortune telling. It's a set of observations about behavior. For example, do you have a natural preference to use your right hand or your left hand more? Or is it about even?

That's exactly what the Myers-Briggs test is about. Natural preferences. It asks you to measure your preferences in four areas:

1) Which one makes you feel more energized: the outer world of spoken words and actions or the inner world of thought and emotions?

2) How do you prefer to take in information: by observing concrete facts and details or noticing patterns and looking at the big picture?

3) How do you prefer to make decisions: on the basis of a rational analysis or focusing on the feelings of involved parties?

4) How do you prefer to structure your life: being organized and reaching firm conclusions or being spontaneous and keeping your options open?

We do ALL of these things to some degree or other, but we usually lean more toward one than the other for each question. This makes a set of preferences that we have in common with other human beings and can be used as a guide for helping to understand the behavior of ourselves and others. It is far from infallible but can be useful and entertaining.

Would things have been different if you had a "normal" life in the truth?

by truthseeker in

yes, the title of the thead is ironic i know, but i couldn't think of an alternative.. what do i mean by "normal" life in the truth?

well, having good friends you grew up with.

having a social life.

This was part of the reason I moved so often. I had "sometimes friends." We were friends sometimes, but I was often left out. Sometimes it was because they thought I wasn't a strong enough witness. Other times, it was because they thought I wasn't a weak enough witness. Every time I moved to a new city, state, congregation, I hoped things would be different. I'm happy now to meet people who don't need to constantly judge me to assess whether I'm worthy of their friendship.

You guys can hijack. Jeff, I think you would be a good teacher. If you think it would be a fulfilling life, I say go for it man.

My new goal, since leaving the jws, is to work with children. I would like to conceive and adopt and maybe foster. I plan to go to school in January to get a degree in Early Childhood Development. I want to home school.

I'm surprised by how many iNtuitives are on this thread. Perhpaps I shouldn't be. We do tend to be more interested in psychology.

Jacksons birthday burial may make things harder on his children

by Dogpatch in

jw

jacksons birthday burial a family issue.

michael jacksons aug. 29 burial points to a power shift within the jackson family that could ultimately affect jacksons three children.. up until recently, michaels mother katherine was making the major family decisions, but the decision to schedule the burial for jacksons birthday was largely joe jacksons.. katherine didnt want it (the burial) on his birthday, neither did rebbie (jacksons oldest sister), said a close family friend.

both katherine and rebbie jackson are jehovah's witnesses, and do not celebrate birthdays, but the religious reason isn't their only objection.. (katherine and rebbie jackson feared) it would turn the burial into a spectacle that will be hard for the kids to not be swept up in," the friend said.

His kid's name is seriously Blanket? That's what you name your kitten.

A New Term

by monkeyman in

jw identify any who cease to attend meetings as those were stumbled fell away drifted away or not of our sort.. .

this is grossly unfair and blatantly untrue in most cases.

in my case, i have 2 family members that no longer attend because they were abused by several elders.

bluecanary

I don't have a problem with the term "stumbled." I was stumbled by the elders. Stumbled right out of "The Truth." Of course, I'm glad to be out now that I know it's The Lie. But you know what the Bible says about those who stumble others. Yep, it's the heavy sentence for them. So I broadly declare that I am stumbled and will happily point out the asses responsible.

You know, Mr. Flipper, there are not many people here whose type I would try to guess, but I would have said that you are an ENFJ. They are just awesome people.
