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

lol @ the phone number and wondering why you weren't getting the calls... and how long was this? LOL

my attention to detail is weird I've come to realise... because I really like to notice details... but then when I do and use them to reach the final conclusion... all detail are thrown out the window and I just care about the beginning and the end. Though the first tiime getting there I enjoy the journey. No idea if that makes sense.. but anyhow that's how my mind does stuff.

I read an interesting exchange between and ISTJ and an INTP last night when I was looking for stuff about interactions of the different types. The ISTJ was wanting every explanation and detail possible of how the INTP arrived at their conclusion. After trying to explain a bit, and the ISTJ not understanding.. the INTP just turned around and goes "look, it just is, ok?".

Coincidentally in the Neurofeedback thread... @Phoenix_Rising and I are having exactly the same issue arise. So does that mean the way Phoenix is thinking is related to her aspie, her ISTJness or a combination of both? But others are thinking the same as her... so .... is it all me being an INTP and just seeing the forest and not bothering with the trees because I've already reached the forest.

I dunno... but I know what I know.. but don't know what others know.. and they don't know what I know so..who knows?

lalalalalallalalalaaaaa

kunundrum 😛

@CheerBear I don't mind you adding it, but perhaps you should check with spookytookims first . . . it is her story?

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

@Former-Member I have total faith in your drawings.. and I also know these are the kind of doubts I get around my episodes.... so push through that and trust yourself.. that's what I have to do every time I post one of my installments and do you end up liking them?

Yes! we will like yours lil-cat! I am absolutely sure we will like it. 🙂 I trust you, you have proved yourself with your art over and over and over, I have enough evidence to safely say.... I WILL love it! 😛

There is that enough reassurance for you? and I am not one to say something I don't mean, it's just not part of my INTPness.. look it up... brutal honesty is what you get with INTPs. It's a hallmark, sometimes to our detriment.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I'm thinking like a pirate ship kind of era vessel @Former-Member.. masts and stuff ... you know the endeavour ship kind of thing... just makes it more interesting to me... but no idea what others are thinking... so wait for their input too they might have better ideas about it.

@Former-Membernup I sure don't have any probs with that at all.

@Spookytookims - Months ago I did it with police and thought I'd learnt but seems not lol. I'd love to know what the person with the switched digits is thinking 😂 I read the neurofeedback muddle and my take on it is that it's the English language and difficulties with verbs and nouns. But that's just what I noticed. It appeared you were talking of neurofeedback as if it was a verb and @Phoenix_Rising was discussing it as a noun (or adjective perhaps). I could be wrong here though. This isn't necessarily a reflection on aspieness, MBTIness, or personality but more a reflection on the complexity of our language in my opinion. Bah-nanas all round!
