Myers-Briggs personality types
Nic:
I thank you very much for your comments and views on my post..I value your input tremendously. What a good place to return to for sharing and caring and feedback! :)
No error in the translation Rosencrantz, you read right!
I agree with your perspective that Introverts would be more inclined to be attracted to the extravertedness of the N...I'm not dealing with an N however..but like me the son of an N...regardless, he was forced to take the test today and I will know the results soon enough!
I know it's just a tool, but I have always enjoyed reading Jung...If I recall correctly, he and Freud were on a ship coming to America at one point ( or something like that I remember reading!) and Freud was wrong about something, a key element to his theory..Freud knew he was wrong but he was unwilling to admit it. Jung knew this and could not accept that such a brilliant man and influence to him and psychiatry would be so stubborn and immature as to admit to being wrong..or at least the possibility that he could be. Their relationship ended there and then...Jung therefore had more ethics I conclude, more maturity..less ego driven..
I've been thinking all day about the recommendations given to INFJs with the trouble areas..i have much the same problem areas as you Write..I must not lose sight of the BIG PICTURE as suggested, and not become totally Intuition driven...nor too introverted..
Being intuitive to the degree that I am necessitates an out...it can't all stay in there..and the shame and guilt I grew up with stopped the possibility of the out which would have been my voice. As a result of having such an active introverted life, I did become Fortress Nic...i've taken down many walls since coming here but I didn't realize they were terrassed and therefore multiple.
I appreciate the taking care of myself first comments write, yes but whilst looking and taking into account the big picture...not just my needs..
I'm about ready to flourish I think..massive renovations..i'm thinking and feeling things through, no more catastrophizing..and I think it's really good and caring of you to encourage me with your comment " Good things will happen to you Nic, learn to believe it."
That is just such a bloody nice thing to say :D I am learning to believe it..little by little.
More later and thanks to both of you.
love Nic

Hi Nic, Guest here. I enjoy Jung immensely too. My memory goes like this, Freud and Jung were on a ship, enjoying each other. They spent most of their time together, not playing shipboard games, but interpreting and analysing each other's dreams. Freud put a stop to it eventually, because he said if he didn't he was afraid Jung might replace him as the authority. Sounds like my mother. She never let me or wanted to let me blossom. The blacker circle of life.
A sad point in some ways. And a fair bit of EGO, :D :D :D wouldn't you say.

Hi Guest!
Yes yes that's it...at least i remembered the part about the ship! :)
I'm thinking of pulling out the Jung literature again...
Just a suggestion, if you read French there is a great book by a famous french psychoanalyst whose name is Tony Anatrella, and it's called " Non a la societe depressive", has a lot of things on boundaries, permissiveness and lack of direction..i found it quite fascinating..it's not a "how to" book but rather a discourse on the causes of depression as they relate to tolerance etc..a good read I thought..perhaps there is an english translation. Perhaps you speak and read french too? :lol:
Anyways, thanks for the correct version re: Freud and Jung!
I don't recall you mentionning what your personality type is..did you take the test?
Kind regards, Nic :)
Nic:
Oh Guest, if that's you..I just saw that you are ESTJ..is this accurate?
so you did mention your type after all..
later,

Yep that's me, Nic. I'm ESTJ on a paid for professional test I took, and on some other freebie sites. And so I recently redid it on the keirsey site I have in my saved in my favorites. I test all my poor unsuspecting friends, "Here' I'll make the coffee, can you just do this test fro me, pleeeease, It won't take long? Pretty please?." And they usually love it, and then we have something cool to talk about for hours.
But I'm not ESTJ on this one that write recommended, I came up as something completely different. Strange indeed. So anyway, I'm stickin' with ESTJ. The keirsey test has 'That question!' about how do you like putting things away after doing a job. I read about that one that has been analysed by so amny outsiders. How the mother and daughter team tried to make all thier questions seem to not a have a right or wrong answer that would be particularly favoured, or make someone feel better.
And no, I don't read, speak or eat french, but I absolutely love french sub-titled movies. Ahhh, bliss. :lol: I saw 'Children of the Marshlands' again on TV the other night. I melt into that movie. My favourite characters are Mr Amadee and Garris for anyone who knows it, but I love them all, it's such good stuff. It must be a book! I'll have to surf and see. It's a new 'I simply must have it darling' if it is. And thanks for the author and book recommendation, sounds right up my alley, unfortunately :!: :D :D
I'm going surfing, bye
