Adventures on Turtle Island

@CheerBear hahahaha that's pretty much what I've got you doing anyhow... so no worries.. cos you are worried about the human side... so that gels.

I can't say... or that let's too much out.. you will have to wait for the first episode! I hope I do ok with it, I'm scared feel pressure! I don't want to fail in a shockingly bad way! *bites fingernails* 😛

@Phoenix_Rising I've managed to only get 2 different results over the past 3 days (4 of the dodgy online tests in total, 1 discrepant result), so may have set a new consistency record for myself haha. Although I won't take any again for awhile at the risk of accidentally biasing my answers to get the same result. I wasn't going to derail the thread again, but unfortunately for everyone else I'm now going to take the opportunity to do just that. Critically, I was feeling much the same each day which seems to cause the biggest sway in what I get out of those dodgy online quizes.

If anyone wants a bit of a giggle, I've never been all that interested in psychology and what forms people's perceptions of things, and although @CheerBear and @Spookytookims have explained how they're finding it useful I just can't see when it would ever interest me enough to use... My result this week has been ISTP, which apparently has little interest in philosophical analysis and needs to see a practical application

Have fun on your island everyone

lol @TheVorticon well that can't be right.. you have to be a J! dont know about the rest but that one's a given. 😛

oh btw @TheVorticon despite what you are thinking.. I personally feel it is wonderful that despite your obvious reservations you still were open enough to go and do it. Even if it was to prove your point that doesn't matter... the fact you did it shows a lot about you and I appreciate it. You deserve a big ✅ for that one.

yes @Spookytookims im looking forward to this adventure too

@CheerBear and @TheVorticon

here's a couple.... but jury is still out and investigations still pending :D:

Edit: Oops meant to say found these snippets from a longer discussion about most likely to reject MBTI stuff:

"In my experience, ISTPs want nothing to do with this touchy-feely voodoo fluff."
Um, Ps are notoriously open to new and weird ideas, especially ones that are all about systems. So your "ISTP" companions probably are ISTJs in reality."

two people to dislike hearing about it, and it's my dad, my ISTP bro, and one other untyped dude. "

OK I picked out bits of long posts… as yet nothing definitive.. but those seemed to be the best anecdotal posts I could find.

so perhaps.. just perhaps.. the ISTP might not be that far off. 😛 But I'm still tending towards J though, for the reasons that person up there refers to. But we shall see what happens if your experiment continues Vorticon 🙂

your really in your element here arent you @Spookytookims

its great to see

@TheVorticon as the others have said, I don't see you as derailing this thread at all. I guess I must be someone who is interested in psychology given that, you know, I spent twelve years completing a 4-year psychology degree. Having said that, I was what people would call a "rats and stats" psychology student rather than a want-to-help-people type of psychology student. A lot of psych students are what I would call "fluffy". I am wondering if @CheerBear is "fluffy" given that if things were left to her, we would all die of thirst or starvation in some cosy little cave.

I think you mentioned that you are more interested in practicalities than in philosophising, is that right @TheVorticon. Hee hee...in my BA I did a double major in psychology and philosophy. I really wanted to do my honours in philosophy but shifted back to psychology thinking that it would give me more employment prospects - a plan that hasn't panned out so well thus far. So yeah, I enjoy the academic study of both psychology and philosphy. Indeed, I am very interested in the intersect between those two fields - i.e. the philosophy of psychology.
