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

Did someone say treehouse?! Or even better - tree houses?! That's seriously exciting to me, so much so I can almost hear @Spookytookims eyes rolling at my enthusiasm from here haha!

I feel a bit proud to share the softie type with both of you @Mazarita and @Appleblossom (and nearly @Former-Member) 😊

I just did the humanmetrics test again to see my breakdown of trait scores and my N score has gone down quite a bit and my F score has gone up and is very high. I 41%, N - 19%, F - 91%, P - 25%. I'm going to try and remember to take this every few days for a while and see what might change so I can get an idea of how my mood might influence these results.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

@CheerBear, sounds like we've started a tree house village!

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I think that was me @Appleblossom, I'd taken a personality test from another site - I re-took the test from this site and it turns out I'm not that at all. (I know I'm reclusive . . . but %100? and I've had it explained that it isn't about how anxious you are in public, but where you get your energy from, but still . . . %100!?!)

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I just took that test again, I don't think I should have, because this time I got ISFJ

Introvert(88%) Sensing(1%) Feeling(25%) Judging(1%)

Maybe it was the other me that took the other test 😄 . . . I am joking!

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

It also says this:-

Your Type Preferences

Introvert(88%) Sensing(1%) Feeling(25%) Judging(1%)

Because you appear to have marginal or no (1%) preference of Sensing over Intuition, marginal or no (1%) preference of Judging over Perceiving, characteristics of more than one personality type may apply to you:
ISFJ, INFJ, ISFP and INFP.
