Adventures on Turtle Island

Adventures on Turtle Island

Edit:

Welcome to Turtle Island!

What began as a discussion about personality types based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, quickly found a few of us marooned on an Island in the shape of a turtle (see below), in the South Pacific. We are currently having all kinds of adventures using our MBTI types to work out what might happen. If you're looking for some light-hearted fun, everyone is welcome to come along to stay or just visit. (You can get an idea of your MBTI here if you're interested.) Recently we found a (non-existent) suggestion box on the Island, we think it's come from an elusive island neighbour, so you're welcome to just fly (or swim) past and drop us some suggestions too.

Niqueeta wrote a fabulous prelude to Turtle Island here:

Turtle Island : The Night Before

Spookytookims has written some awesome episodes which can be found here:

The First Morning

Turtle Island episode 2

Turtle Island episode 3 (this one even has pictures!)

Turtle Island episode 4: Shipwreck Salvage

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 1)

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 2)

We now have a welcome sign which is also our Island flag:

And here we are in a message in a bottle on the sand as drawn by Lil-Caterpillar!

Here are some views of our Island - isn't it spectacular?!

Looking forward to bumping in to you!

This is how it all began....

****************

Personality and what makes us us is something I find really interesting and I think there would be a few of us out there who share that interest.

@Spookytookims and I were having a chat about MBTI and the differences in our 'types'. I've found myself pondering what factors in our personalities might influence our interactions and the way a deeper understanding of people may improve communication. I like thinking about what makes two or more people 'click' or not.

While it's difficult to imagine the world being split into a small number of personality 'types', I am interested in what different personality tests offer us in terms of gaining insight or understanding.

Maybe an interesting discussion if anyone wants to join 🙂

Re: All things personality

Lol @Phoenix_Rising @CheerBear @Former-Member Hey Phoenix... funny you should put gilligans island in.. the professor is the INTP but he needs more humour, hmm come to think of it without the quirky humour he's probably INTJ... ... Out of interest... which ones on Gilligan's Island do you three think closest reflect yourselves?

Im now thinking of making it a bit more interactive. Where we can have the scenario and put in what we think we'd do, or I could just write a an episode then you lot can put it how it might fit in with you? Im open really which way do you want it? You lot driving it or me saying how I think it would likely be and you saying what you'd do instead?

Also I'd love to throw in @Queenie because ENTPs are such crazy fun inventors... we need Queenie's brain if she feels up to us using it.

i'll be back later have some stuff to get done this morning. Meanwhile... Post back what each of you think our first priority on the island is. PHoenix, I know you might take a while cos of your curfews and your session today, thats no worries, just whenever. i'm dissecting brains anyhow. 😄

Re: All things personality

@CheerBear@Spookytookims@Phoenix_Rising

do you guys ever feel awkward on here?

i feel really awkward and with all my boundaries it making it hard for me to even be on here.

i feel like cant express myself anymore, i have to watch everything i say, do and how i write things

do you ever feel like that? or am i over reacting... again..

Re: All things personality

Haha no worries @Former-Member Way before your time 🙂 I think perhaps the character Mary-Anne is closest to you. She is very kind, caring and tries to look after everyone 🙂

Gotta run.... I'll be baaaaaaaack *waves*

Re: All things personality

Yes @Former-Member that's a very good way if putting it. Yes I certainly do often feel awkward on here. It's very complicated isn't it?

be back later, but just wanted to say a big YES from me on that one. So you are definitely not alone in that, sweetie.

*hugs*

Spooky.

Edit omg cannot type on phone, sorry!!! Typos galore! Shitzen!

Re: All things personality

Hi all,

After I post this, I will be jumping off the forum until this evening. The psychologist who does my neurofeedback is sick so I won't be having my session today @Spookytookims. You will have to wait until next week for the next installment on that adventure.

I am definitely the professor on Gilligan's Island. And in answer to your question, finding fresh water is the first task.
