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:
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 🙂
) that I take with me when I see my psychologist. On the first page it has our rules listed - e.g. I can email once a week, I can leave two voice messages each a max. of three minutes, etc etc. My psychologist wanted to call these "boundaries" because to her, "rules" sounds punitive/authoritarian. However, for me, it is the opposite. For me "boundaries" are punitive. Consequently, my psychologist acquiesced to calling them "rules", but she drew a cute friendly-looking sign with "rules" printed on it, at the top of the page to make herself feel better about them being rules.
