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: Adventures on Turtle Island

I'm way way WAY too awake. I've got that must burn energy thing happening that my psych has told me to try and be mindful and slow down a little while burning this 'agitation' which I call energy @Spookytookims. I can 'mindfully' compile my pinterest list, colour co-ordinate it, chat to you, have 14billionty tabs open on my tablet and listen to music at the same time yeah? lol

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

atm last estimate is landing at 1:30 apparently but it keeps changing... 14billionty... that seems like a lot of tabs you must have a big screen to even have them tabulated across the top @CheerBear

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

So because I can't share my pinterest board with you all, I thought I would copy some of the silly and fun MBTI stuff I've been pinning. This is meant to be some lighthearted fun so I hope it's come across that way.

I've included the four of us @Spookytookims (INTP), myself (INFP), @Phoenix_Rising (ISTJ) and @Former-Member (INFJ) in this list (will tag them in the morning when they aren't sleeping) but have queenie (ENTP) and thevorticon (ISTP) in my special document if they/you want to be added sometime too. I've also saved all the pins so I can easily add any other 'types' that might come along and may be interested. Also, this is just a sample of what my board looks like 😄

(Please note - I can not guarantee that pinterest is at all a reliable source of correct and factual information 😉 )
