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

Haha good episode @Spookytookims 🙂
You had 2 more things I was thinking but actually managed to avoiding spoilers for - the wild pig surprise and the tree sap glue! 😉 😄 Thanks for the bag of easter eggs from a few pages back and the hamper in my other thread. The scribble on the bag was a nice touch - I turned it into a monster truck 😛

Took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about with lil-caterpillar's transformation though. Had to reread the sentence and look back and forth at the pic about 5 times to realise that it wasn't one of the typos we were forewarned about 😛
Lucky I wasn't with the group - no way would I be asking for directions! Not even from helpful friendly fish 😛

You can tell the pink snorkelling kit has been saved for just this occasion so I didn't have to use it. Have fun 😉

@CheerBear your hammock is great 😄

Happy Easter to you too @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

@TheVorticon ahaha see I told you we were thinking along the same lines! Glad you appreciated my abstract scribble on the bag... I could see a bunch of things in that. Beginning to think you are definitely way more P than J after all... yeah yeah I know you don't go for that... but just sayin' if the shoe fits ya know? 😛

Yes well if you don't know what a nudibranch is... (and most people who don't scuba dive probably don't, even some that do probably don't for that matter) I can understand why you had to do a double take on lil-caterpillars metamorphosis.

As for not doing the directions getting thing.. well... that's pretty much a male trait isn't it? Bit like instructions when putting some kind of assembly together... "instructions?? I don't need those. hmmm ok... maybe I do".. after 3 hours and various bits left over. Yeah I know stereotyping on that one... but it does seem to hold true on an uncanny number of occasions 😄

haha on the pink snorkeling gear... I laughed when I had colours to choose from and thought.. yeah it's gotsta be the pink ones, he'd definitely have those laying around unused.

Now need what you will be up to next.. funny you mention the monster trucks though,.. I have a nice little "scene" for your pad.. and it's kind of up that path.. think it needs a few more man toys in it though. But it'll be a good start. 😉

@Phoenix_Rising - I was planning on just popping past quickly to say hi in one thread (which has now turned into 3) but looked at the time and noticed it was nearly curfew for you so I wanted to sneak in here in case you're here and say that I hope you've had a good weekend and everything is going ok (that needed full stops but typing fast to get in before 9!) Happy Easter for yesterday - loved your message in the sand 😊

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

ha! I didn't know you had posted this @CheerBear but I too came in to find out where @Phoenix_Rising might be, because she is MIA even by her curfew times, so wanted to check up on her.

🙂 Phoenix.. where are you? Hope you are ok.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I probably am ISTP @Spookytookims but it may have been different each time I have taken the test.

Been busy irl, but thanks for asking. I like the aspyish style you relate to people .. I hope that doesnt offend you if I [pst that .. I am very partial to aspies.

First time I did MBTI was with exhusband who had a psych major and loved to analyse me to bits .. but did not really know how to love .. anybody .. I dont take it personally anymore.

I am a lot like you, which I introvertedly thought when you first started posting!

Yes I def do fun, though for a long time (about 12 years) it hurt to laugh or sneeze cos of neck issues.

Hope @Phoenix Rising is alright.

Cheers All
