Ironically, both ‘zodiacs’ and the myers briggs sum me up pretty well.
I am a taurus. I’m set in my ways and like a simple life. I am also known for being able to endure through tough times.
I am a dog. I am loyal to a fault.
It’s been a long time since I did the myers briggs, but it was accurate as well. I’m introverted, intuitive, and some other things I don’t remember.
Keep in mind that the Myers-Briggs is not intended to tell you what you are like, but what your preferences are. Your preference might be that you are intuitive, but you can still have crappy intuition. You could be an extrovert who can’t hold a conversation.
At the same time, I happen to fall in the same situation as eulerfan in this case, myers briggs happens to describe how I am as I am described to me by my friends and family. Now, I need to stop making my loved ones describe me to me so **** much.
But I’m just so good. It kind of ticks me off that Narcissus gets so much credit when he’s clearly a punk next to me.
Anyway, I don’t believe in crap. The Dog/Taurus/Myers-Briggs things all happen to sum me up pretty well, and that’s the only reason they hold some sort of meaning to me.
BTW, somewhat OT, but someone was talking about dreams, and I was curious how closely anyone else followed their dreams. I have found that all the dreams I remember I can immediately apply to my life. Not meaning I’m seeing the future, but that I can connect the dreams with things that are going on at the time in my life and my feelings about them. Whether this is because the only dreams that are memorable pertain to my present interests, or for other reasons, I don’t know.
Also, if I’m trying to think of a word that doesn’t immediately come to mind, the first word I think of ALWAYS sounds a lot like the correct word.
Final one. Anytime I leave a building with parking and go to find my car, if I simply walk out and don’t pay any attention, I walk right to my car, no matter whether I’m in a borrowed car in a strange parking lot or not, but if I think about it, it takes me too long to find my car.
Just to delve even more deeply into my disturbed psyche, when I was young and stupid, I was in a relationship with a married woman, the wife of a friend of mine(we’re still friends, actually, despite all this). The whole thing was horrendous. Anyway, one day a friend asked if I wanted to see this dumb King Arther movie, and I felt like I just had to see this movie, even though I thought it looked like total garbage when I first saw the ads and I didn’t like the actor who was in it.
Yet suddenly it took on amazing importance, seeing this movie. Anyway, in short order, I watched the movie, was a wreck for like a day because of the Lancelot-Guinevere-Arthur thing and the relations it led me to in my own mind, and I fixed that part of my life in like two simple, harsh steps. That’s my one glowing review of Jung, the idea that things that take numinous importance for us, no matter how silly sounding on the surface, take such importance for a reason, and we must search for that reason. For me, it was some crappy Richard Gere movie. How embarrassing. Obviously I knew the Arthur story before, but I had not consciously related it to my situation. Thus the unconcsious urge to see a movie that normally would not engage my unconscious in any way.
Frankly, I think tarot is about as valid as rorschach blots in a way, except the wrong person is looking at the tarot cards. In both cases, you are looking at chaos and seeing what order you make of it. Then that order can be looked at for what it says about you. It is only when you accept the traditional explanation for how divination works and why it is applied that you run into scientific difficulties. If you merely examine these things for what they actually do, I think they’re okay. I don’t think tarot looks at the future or anything like that. I think divination takes pieces of chaos that are always present in varying degrees, and forces practitioners to look at those pieces of chaos as they stand in their lives. A lot can be said for what a person can look at without alteration, and what a person has glossed over because it is too much.
Oh, and as a side note, Eulerfan, please be more careful about how incredibly passive you are while taking charge.
So accourding to this a person born 1984, 20/3 is WOOD or WATER?
