Re m...That's the same label I got on my second try. <BR/><BR/>Re misspellings: I'm very forgiving of people for whom English is not a first language. Those typos, in my mind, would have completely discredited them if they were an American site. But, for people who've had to learn from the outside a language with the words "tough," "though," "through," and "thought," they're doing a pretty good job!June Casagrandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363096837053080969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507136945842934293.post-8940561265114458192008-11-25T15:12:00.000-08:002008-11-25T15:12:00.000-08:00Ha. I'm surprised you got past the greeting page ...Ha. I'm surprised you got past the greeting page with its misspelling.<BR/><BR/>Mine wasn't completely off the wall, but it did get a little silly at the end. Race car driver or firefighter type I am not. The risks I take on don't tend to be of the physical type.<BR/><BR/>"The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.<BR/><BR/>The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters."Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507136945842934293.post-9758022540705652202008-11-25T14:45:00.000-08:002008-11-25T14:45:00.000-08:00So, in order to look at the brain map thingy you p...So, in order to look at the brain map thingy you pointed out, I went back to the site and had to re-input my URL. I got a DIFFERENT analysis. Now I'm "The Mechanic," which seems at least as accurate as the previous analysis.<BR/><BR/>I'm not familiar with the letter designations, and I see only some of the letters correlated on the brain chart. So I'm at a bit of a loss to understand all the terminology.<BR/><BR/>I did 6-1/2 hard years of unbelievably effective therapy -- the gritty, raw, gut-wrenching kind, world-melting kind (as opposed to the analytical, unemotional, removed kind). That kinda scratched any and all itches for self-discovery/analysis. I just thought this was kinda fun and interesting. <BR/><BR/>Re the feeling vs. analytical disparity you describe: Those problems always seem to arise with attempts at simple categorizations such as these by Typealyzer -- the "arbitrary categorization" stuff you described. There always seems to be a very strong flip side to any personality trait. A relatively happy and outgoing person is a misantrhope who spends hours every day thinking about the futility of life. A "feeling" person has an uncanny ability to understand the arcane meaning of long strings of 1s and 0s. Always that flip side. <BR/><BR/>Seems that more "scientific" approaches try harder to accommodate this issue, but with limited success.June Casagrandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363096837053080969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507136945842934293.post-52038694262884453932008-11-25T13:43:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:43:00.000-08:00Thanks for this. Have you delved much into Myers-...Thanks for this. Have you delved much into Myers-Briggs-Keirsey? I think that <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Please-Understand-Temperament-Character-Intelligence/dp/1885705026" REL="nofollow">Please Understand Me II</A> is supposed to be <B>the</B> pop book on the subject. I'd be curious to see what your scores are otherwise. There's an app on FB (I have it among my boxes)--not perfect, but not the worst. And did you notice the little brain map at the bottom?<BR/><BR/>So, <A HREF="http://joelmw.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">my blog</A> was typealyzed as INTP--which is a whole lot closer than I expected. I sort out fairly consistently as an INFP and "F" (feeling v. thinking) is one of my strongest leans (I/E is the one that's most often close). But still. Maybe I blog more analytically? I do come across that way--and especially used to--in some contexts. I wouldn't be surprised to see decent grammar as a T trait.<BR/><BR/>But, ick, as an INFP, the last thing I want to be called is analytical. I <B>do</B> analytical because it's what this sick, sad world requires of me. It is not, however, who I am. :-p Maybe this tells me that I'm close but not quite <I>there</I> in my blogging.<BR/><BR/>My daughter (INTJ) and departed wife (ESTJ) are big into this type-ing thing. I generally reject it as more arbitrary categorization (which, of course, is characteristic of my type--and, yes, I recognize and intend the irony in the opening sentence of this paragraph), but M-B-K is perhaps the least intolerable. And it's got its coolness. I love the fact that Deb and I were opposites by type and that Christine is a balanced mixture.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://christinewas.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">My daughter's blog</A> comes out as INFP, which is funny, but also makes some sense.<BR/><BR/>It's curious--and not altogether meaningless--to me that the kid and I lean most heavily toward the N. And our maps are pretty darned close. Makes me kinda proud. :-)Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550742712966484303noreply@blogger.com
