I usually score INFP or sometimes E. I think they think Jung was an INFP, though I think that last letter was added on after Jung in order to help determine the superior function. I think N is my superior function, so maybe that means something about whether I am supposed to be an I or an E. I thought I'd run across a chart that told you what your superior function was based on your myer's brigg's type, but my google skills are sad tonight.

One thing I find interesting is that your inferior function (what you have the most problems with) will always be on the opposite side of your superior function and it will always have the opposite on the first letter (I or E) to your superior function. And all that is somehow wrapped up in a person's shadow side.

My most blundering part of my personality is probably the sensate side, but I still am not sure if it's an I or an E.

I am guessing many of us here are INFP. Our sexuality takes us on a diverse journey, often turning over many rocks and exploring our options. It's somewhat a dichotomy because on one hand I'm expressive and free-spirited yet find myself introverted as I get older. I'm guessing that our test results today are much different then they were when we were in our 20's. I know mine would be.

You reach a point where you have traveled down so many paths, read all the books, listened, tried, stumbled and beat yourself up. Then you finally arrive at a place where you sit down all the tools, take a deep breath and throw caution to the wind. You live day by day and although uncertain of the outcome you know this too shall pass and you'll be ok.

I admit that when I look back on my spiritual journey it's complex and though the words changed it all boiled down the same thing. Something I'm enjoying now is Qi Gong and I also adapt this, using my knowledge in Tao & Zen, drawing energy and allowing myself to fuse with everything. But as with anything, you can know the theory but it takes practice and work to really be effective. Jung clearly proved that the content of our emotions and subconscious directed our lives both macro-cosmically and micro-cosmically. When you finally do grasp that we are all part of one collective and can stay conscious with it, you do things much differently. People have a hard time understanding you because your priorities change you no longer feel you need to defend yourself. Most of our society today relies on excuses for why things are the way they are rather then to accept and embrace the diversity.

oh hell I'm rambling now and could go on forever. Some of you know exactly what I mean.

I always test as an INFP as well. I have never heard of the chart you were speaking of Nat, but if you find it, post it up. I would like to see it.

I find the introvert space is where I access the perceiving , feeling part of myself. It is where I read people from when doing healing. I'm empathic so I often diagnose spiritually by feeling what another feels then interpreting the vibrational energy. What I feel is often more insightful than what I deduct through questioning a patient. But we always use both together anyway. Being this sensitive in such a harsh world, is a rough road to travel......

For years I always tested as either ENTJ or INTJ... and it was always very close either way. And then in the past four years something changed. I use a form of the Meyers Brigg in 2 workshops i lead and just recently re-took the Keirsey version with interesting results.

Keirsey is a bit more detailed in analysis than the original MB, and I've used it for several years now. I've taken the test twice in four years, and used the test to score about 30 other workshop participants and I've never had anyone score as 'oddly' as I do now. I scored very closely in 4 types - INFP 88%, INFJ 86%, ENFP 84% & ENFJ 82%. In Keirsey's breakdown, I'm solidly an Idealist, whereas before I was leaning towards Rational with a 'touch' of Idealist.

Its actually fascinating and, in all the workshop participants I've given results to, every single one said that it was, overall, one of the most accurate assessments they have every received.

The idea of a singular 'shadow side' is one of the things I keep thinking that Jung must have been misinterpreted about. Working with Archetypes, each of them has their own unique shadow properties, and some of those shadow properties can actually be harnessed to provide positive effects.

I think the MB and its variants can help us understand a bit about our own 'hidden' agendas and motivators and why some things resonate with us more than others. But, IMHO, when we really start exploring our principal archetypes and what areas of 'life' call forth a greater response from one or more of them, we can really dig deeper into our own personal inner truths and paths.

I have a presentation I am working on entitled Leather Woman and the Wild Woman Archetype. This is one in a series I have been developing. I will be presenting this peice at Spring Iniquity in April. There is still much to do to prepare. I would like to post some of the content and get some feedback.

Dr. Clarissa Estes is a Jungian psychoanalyst who used archetypes and metaphors from old folk tales and stories to awaken women all over the world to their inner power.

The journey of the wild woman is about coming into power. Her journey through the wilderness has been a long process of self-discovery and now she runs with her inner wolf and lets her spirit soar. She is playful, creative, intuitive and often feared because of her wisdom and power.

Leather women have their own unique experiences and history. On our journey's we have laughed, cried, danced, growled, scratched, howled and loved. We seek each other out knowing, like the wolf, that the pack is stronger than the one. By sharing our collective wisdom we strengthen each other, our pack and clan.

In this workshop we will explore and share who the wild/leather woman is and how to release and claim her. We will tend to our soulskins and sing over our bones.

This workshop is for all leather women regardless of where you are on your journey. Come prepared to share your story and leave feeling empowered by the clan you belong.

Greetings

I would be very interested and may have some things to share. I do a couple of workshops involving archetypes, human needs, embracing our shadow aspects, etc.
