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 🙂

"A characteristic of Phoenix_Rising is her giggliness. Techniques for making Phoenix_Rising giggle include posting funny pictures, creating muddling conversations like this one, and writing stories about her being stuck on an island where she is clearly the only sane one around. "

- flying turtles??? seriously? But I digress…..

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Now I'm in such a muddle with neuroplasticity and neurofeedback that I've just realised that ehole grammatical post thingy i wrote neurofeedback when i meant neuroplasticity. My brain can't keep up with any of this @Spookytookims and @Phoenix_Rising. I'm just going to sit here for a few minutes with my palms up, try not to freak that I'm still, and let "magic" happen 😉

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Original N64 Mario Kart @CheerBear? You're on 😉 Let me just blow in my cartridge.

@Spookytookims hmmm I don't recognise anything pokemony about the island, although I never kept up with any of the games or anime past Gen 1 so it could just be outside of my pokemon experience sorry. But the island looks awesome 🙂 I was amused to see that everyone else wanted to urgently evacuate via koopa troopa 😛 Like Bowser took over Yoshi Island or something 😛

@CheerBear ROFL

BTW, I LOVE the story about your muddled phone number. My home number is one digit different to a local school. A few times, I've answered my phone and had some parent launch into a full-on monologue about their kid. It is soooooooooo funny when they finally pause for breath and I explain they have the wrong number.

Like you, I wonder how the poor person is coping with all the people calling him/her and asking for you.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Haha @TheVorticon! I'm thinking original as in SNES but that's waaaaay old school 😉 We could go MK8 - that was fun, N64 will definitely do though. It's not Pokemon unless it's latest gen either as far as I can tell, and that ship looks very Bowser to me. Either way, I too think it's very cool to see some gaming action happening on TI which just makes great even greater to me!

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Oh wow, SNES predates my gaming experience @CheerBear 😉 I've only tried the N64 and Wii versions of Mario Kart. I'm a bit worried TI/Bowser's Island won't have electricity, gaming consoles, or a TV. This has honestly been my worry from the start, and was why I was so keen on a rescue operation. But if I've got a power source for a flying pirate ship then clearly my worries were unfounded.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

oh you cant keep up with it @CheerBear do you remember my egyptology mind map??? Well I have one about quadruple that on my understanding on neuroplasticity and now I'm somehow supposed to put it in a nutshell.. when I really had it in a nutshell but it was apparently too small of a nutshell... Now I have to go backwards.. and INTPs do not like going backwards! So may be joning you soon.... but I have something written and if it's not good enough I'm going to have to give up!

I'll be pulling out that quote I saw from that other INTP and saying "It just is"
