@mariposa The pleasure is mutual! No, sadly, four-wheeling in the snow is an opportunity not yet afforded to me. The four-wheeler is actually my aunt and uncle’s, so I only get to use it about 4 or 5 times a year. But I absolutely love it! 😀

@mark-kamibaya Just wondering :). He’s about the only philosopher I’ve heard of and actually read some of his work :P. He was a really great author though.

@DonyClark I actually listen to music more than I watch it, but let me tag a few others for you who might better be able to answer your question. 🙂

@mark-kamibaya Haha yes. XD
@Anna-Brie Trruuuue though. It just seems that all those introverted writers forget that we exist. *squints* 😛 -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic MBTI is Fake in the forum Characters 7 years, 6 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya what you said about Introversion vs Extroversion is quite true— but I tend to believe that the need for alone-time is because of the fact that an Introvert’s world is in their head. That’s where they feel most comfortable; just with themselves. While they can enjoy the society of their friends, it will never be as natural or…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Hi! I saw that you like philosophy. Just wondering, do you like Francis Shaeffer’s books?
-
@emily-d I’m not familiar with Shaeffer. I did google him though and I recognize one of his books–True Spirituality. Why do you ask?

@mark-kamibaya Just wondering :). He’s about the only philosopher I’ve heard of and actually read some of his work :P. He was a really great author though.

@emily-d Ok. I should probs check him out. Philosophy in general is such a vast field that it’s hard to find good people in it. I normally read of the erroneous views of old-timey people like Nietzsche and Voltaire. But now I’m trying to saturate myself with the Christian philosophers (aka theologians) like Jonathan Edwards.
-
Wow I’ve heard of him! I’ve read Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper and he quoted Jonathan Edwards quite a bit. He sounded really good. Whenever I think of the term “philosopher” I think of Socrates, Plato, et cetera, but it’s nice to be reminded that there’s a Christian side to it!
-
Yes! John Piper actually chose Jonathan Edwards as the one theologian he would try to study the most of. There’s a John Piper book I’m reading that is split into two parts. The first part is Piper deconstructing Edwards and analyzing his work. The second part is one of Edwards’ greatest works, “The End For Which God Created The World.” The book…[Read more]

And, surprisingly, I actually don’t read much of Plato or Socrates. I mostly read of philosophers in the last four centuries with an emphasis on the modern (cuz they’re easier to read) 😀

@mark-kamibaya @jane-maree The’s probably more extrovert writers than we realize. I know at least one outside KP. Another ENFP funnily enough. And i know we have a couple of ENFJs here.

@Mark-Kamibaya That’s what you get when you make clickbait. XD It’s an interesting discussion at any rate.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic MBTI is Fake in the forum Characters 7 years, 6 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya yes. Most people do use it as a classification system, which bothers me to no end. If you dig down deep and really get to understand the process though, you’ll see the sixteen types are really only a general summary of probabilities built on the common tendencies/stereotypes of the different functions. (Not cognitive functions;…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya I think the creepy part is the association with the occult. HOWEVER, it’s worth something that Myers and Briggs TRIED to be scientific. I actually do agree with you, Mark, that there should have been more peer review, etc. It’s not scientific unless you follow the Method.
Y’all are right to think that people go looking for religion…[Read more] -
Daeus replied to the topic MBTI is Fake in the forum Characters 7 years, 6 months ago
@mark-kamibaya Looks like I didn’t phrase myself very well. I didn’t mean to say that psychology is a pseudoscience. What I meant was that I think it tends to include a lot more pseudoscience than a lot of other scientific arenas (i.e. meteorology). I think this is because, for the materialist, it is the closest to a religion they can get. So what…[Read more]

@Daeus You will be very happy to know that I am actually doing Jumpstart Your Novel, I enrolled in it pretty much the day it came out and I’m really enjoying it. @Josiah-DeGraaf I can’t wait!

@mark-kamibaya Hey there! I just wanted to thank you so much for all your amazing tips and knowledge, you have really encouraged me (and many more, I’m sure!) to try writing science fiction

Whoo-hoo is this an awesome discussion. @Mark-Kamibaya I agree with the general sentiment running here. So not really any need to repeat it. 😛
A good thing to keep in mind about MBTI always though is, it’s not how your personality is but how you think. Process info. But not necessarily how you act. ‘Cause yeah…no one type will be the same in…[Read more] -

@Mark-Kamibaya woohoo! You are brave! 😛
Well, pretty much everything’s been said… how deeply have you studied MBTI? Do you view it as a classification system or pieces to a bigger puzzle? Because a classification system it definitely is not.

@Mark-Kamibaya this was definitely interesting. *nods* I mean, obviously it’s not perfect. a) nothing is and b) humans are /all/ unique. I personally second basically what Daeus said. I’ve seen how the MBTI is actual a literal thing that does apply to people. No one fits perfectly.
