The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing | Merve Emre

pick

Just like the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator this book is polarizing. Is the MBPI pseudoscience or psychology? The book encompasses history, biography, and self-care psychology. The author reveals the origins and development of the world‘s most popular personality test, but truth is demystifying. Despite its lack of statistical validity the MBPI continues to help people self-actualize. Faith is a mysterious thing. What‘s your type? 🔮

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking | Susan Cain

"Love is essential; gregariousness is optional."

As an introvert (INFJ), this book helped me feel even more at ease with myself and the way I navigate life. It was enlightening to explore the science behind introversion and extroversion, and to be reminded that both have value! Extroverts are great. Introverts are great. Together we're even better!

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking | Susan Cain

I forget which litten brought this book to my attention, but THANK YOU!!! I just started (and finished) the sample, and this book is being purchased on Friday. I love it already. It is so perfect, and I can‘t wait to get into it further. #quiet #susancain #introvert #infj #inlovewiththisbook

Wellreadhead It‘s a great book! 7y

GingerAntics @Wellreadhead I absolutely love that for once introverts aren‘t made out to be weak or less than. 7y

Lcsmcat I loved this book! I felt like I had found my people. 7y

GingerAntics @Lcsmcat YES!!! THAT!!! EXACTLY!!! 7y

Wellreadhead @GingerAntics Exactly! I can‘t even count the number of times I‘ve been told that I need to be more extroverted in order to succeed in life, but this book tells a different story. 7y

GingerAntics @Wellreadhead ME TOO!!! I even had a medical doctor that was raising her kids as if being introverted was a great sin, and told me I just needed to adjust to being around people more. She acted like it was a character flaw I could change. I‘m so glad she‘s not my doctor anymore, and I‘m so glad I found this book!!! 7y

Wellreadhead @GingerAntics Wow! Glad your no longer with that doctor and glad you found this book as well. 7y

JennAndrew @GingerAntics I need to read this! 6y

GingerAntics @JennAndrew I totally recommend it. I‘m waiting to get paid (on the last business day of the month) so I can read more than the sample. The sample alone was ground breaking. 6y

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking | Susan Cain

I identify with some of this but decisive? strong-willed? Uh, no. I do believe in balance. I am sensitive, extremely private & burn out easily. Might be a perfectionist. Definitely creative. I'd like to think I'm insightful. Would love to be inspiring & convincing. Determined & passionate, but wouldn't say I'm altruistic or always need to pursue a cause. I guess this is what I could be if I worked to overcome my weaknesses & cultivate my strengths

Suet624 Oh and let me just add that coming up with The Counselor makes complete sense. That you are, my friend. 7y

saresmoore @Suet624 I certainly see you as a brave adventurer. Think of the friends you host and the marauding you‘ve done with the Captain! I‘ll stay where I be, but you‘ve seen a lot of wonderful, fascinating life. 7y

Suet624 💕💕💕 7y

Moray_Reads Is this a lord of the rings personality test?? 7y

saresmoore Sort of! You can use the 16personalities.com test and then google the type + Lord of the Rings. I have the suspicion you might be an ISFJ. @Moray_Reads (edited) 7y

saresmoore @Moray_Reads I‘ve just looked and they have the ISFJ as Samwise. Gosh, but he‘s a great character. 7y

saresmoore @Moray_Reads But now I‘m rethinking everything, because you might just be Gandalf... 7y

Moray_Reads I usually find I can get a different answer to these on any given day, it doesn't help that my work personality is quite different to my home personality. As I spent most of my day planning our current project I suppose it's fitting that today I got Strategist - Elrond. This is definitely not so at other times! 7y

saresmoore @Moray_Reads Certainly appropriate! You can always delve into the meaning of each component and nitpick, but Elrond is a badass, so... 7y

Perks of Being a Wallflower | Stephen Chbosky

I'm an introvert for sure because I must have alone time daily or I don't function, but I'm not sure about the specifics. This test says my personality is an advocate like Dumbledore. Cool...no pressure or anything!
@JoScho #introvertorextrovert #INFJ

Cathythoughts I got this result too 7y

JoScho Same here. Dumbledore is a great role model though 🧙🏻‍♂️ 7y

'INFJs tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.'

When I was younger, I scored as INFP.

JoScho Thanks for sharing. I love seeing everybody‘s “type” 7y
