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

hmmm but I tend to intuit and perceive... so I think it is MBTI related.... I don't like rules either.. so I tend to play with words more than use them in the expected ways... all INTP related @CheerBear

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Agree to disagree on this one then @Spookytookims 🙂

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I wish I could find what I read last night... but too much stuff in my history to track it down. @CheerBear

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

see ... I don't ever agree to disagree... because I don't even understand what that means LOL .. and I've tried and tried and tried to understand that saying.... it just makes no sense to me. @CheerBear

So obviously my brain is wired differently!

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Now there's a problem I can relate to @Spookytookims - having too much in my history to be able to find something again. I had some good stuff last night that you may have been interested in but lost it

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Really? Isn't it like "oh you think that way and I think this way. That's ok. Let's go get a sandwich" @Spookytookims?

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

now that what you said I agree with... but "agree to disagree" to me is not that. I understand that is the 'accepted' understanding of it.. but my brain cannot look at those words and understand how that translates into what you wrote.

and that is very INTP. I read stuff on INTP and I go YES!!!! when I see things like that.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

@CheerBear that's why I had that INTP signature... because anyone who knows anything about INTP would know then to expect some "weird" stuff in my posts because that's just who we are.. we don't fit in.

My sig was kind an alert. It meant something to me.
