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

Ooooh yay! Cats are totally one of my things too @Spookytookims. They sound beautiful ❤ I have a teensy little one too who is incredibly shifty, agile and sass central and one who is big, uncoordinated ball of fluff with a beautiful sooky soul.

Re: All things personality

and as much to stop myself procrastinating as anything.... I just need to commit to announcing that there will be an upcoming installment of Turtle Island soon-ish 😛 (look at my INTP profile... procrastination is definitely there in a big way :P)

Re: All things personality

@CheerBearand @Former-Member hey did either of you notice that pic? It shows the "other" side of the "island"... the waterfalls? Cool it fits with the story to have one side all jungle and the other side where the cave could be and the waterfalls 🙂 I found it after I wrote it... kinda cool hey?

OK I want to say something here. regarding the next expansion... I am scared I'm not able to write @Phoenix_Rising character to the level I would like at the moment. So please Phoenix, anything you see that you want me to consider I'd really like you to let me know. I find you the hardest character to bring out of your shell (hahaha see that pun).. because I find your personality traits fascinating but they are so different to mine that I might get the feeling of your character the most askew.

So again, when you read the next installment if you can just help me identify more of your character's nuances, I think the story can get more interesting because it is, after all, supposed to be driven by our personality dynamics and if I'm not making yours in depth enough that's just not going to be good at all.

I think it also doesn't help me that I've not had much interaction with you on the forums so that doesn't help my familiarity with your character either. I feel guilty that I might not be doing you anywhere near the justice I should be or that you deserve.

Re: All things personality

I thought that looked different @Spookytookims - love it! I'm looking forward to escaping back to the Island whenever we get there. I might even try to write some ideas and character stuff some time (even if it's just for my own escape).

In response to: Re: All things personality

Re: All things personality

oh please do @CheerBear.. I'd love to see what my character did! or maybe not.. lol either way it would be interesting!

It's kinda scary writing and knowing others are not only reading it. but I want to honour the characters as the people you all are, too. I'm having trouble with this one. I need to stop double thinking myself and just write it out like I did the first one.

Edit: Plus you would write it from a more human feeling perspective, so it would connect to people on a more emotional level than my colder analyatical way of presenting it. That would be a good balance actually, now I think about it.
