&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;m very glad to be here. I&amp;#39;m new to this site and am just starting my spiritual journey. This group is right up my ally and I can&amp;#39;t wait to connect with others here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m an INFJ, 4w5 so/sx and I&amp;#39;m a Capricorn sun, Cancer Moon, Libra rising. (I have a grand trine in water with my moon in cancer, Pluto in scorpio and my venus/mars in Pisces *My asteroid psyche is exactly conjunct&amp;nbsp; venus and I consider it part of this trine as well*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m a musician with many other artistic/idealistic interests such as Jung, psychology, photography and poetry to name a few.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hi, &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I just wanted to mention here in the introductions how cool the &amp;quot;Belief-o-matic&amp;quot; test is for evaluating one&amp;#39;s beliefs and correlating the results against the individual world belief systems.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I would recommend every zaadz seeker to take it t least once and reflect on the results and the overall concept.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This is such a powerful tool for self-understanding and to objectively understand the various belief systems in an objective manner!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thanks so much for providing it!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ed &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m Megan and an INTJ, 5w6 (so/sp varient stacking), Pisces, and Dragon. I don&amp;#39;t much about this stuff except for what I have read online. I&amp;#39;d love to learn more about the different ways too type and about my own types :) Just learning what I have so far has helped not feel like such an outsider.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hi!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m Ed and I stumbled across this pod, but it seems just what I need to explore at this time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve been a member of zaadz for a couple of months and my personal growth is really supported by the interesting people and resources here.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m intuitive and empathic with an&amp;nbsp;ability to see peoples potentials, sometimes hidden, and encourage and facilitate them.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I like personality tests and appreciate them as tools to examine and describe personal energies.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m fascinated by symbology in any form.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m IN FJ, taurus-sun/virgo moon/capricorn rising/gemini-mercury; born on the cusp between the baby-boomers and generation-x ers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I haven&amp;#39;t done the enneagram yet.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll post more as I peruse this pod and explore evaluative stuff like the enneagrams.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thanks be to the gracious founder..............ciao, Ed &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hi! I&amp;#39;m Tasnia.&amp;nbsp; I am an INFP, a 4x3 on the Enneagram, an INFp in Socionics, and a Virgo.&amp;nbsp; I also have a certification in Myers-Briggs, one of my loves.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a site in which we are trying to develop and active non-profit organization for those of the iNtuitive preference.&amp;nbsp; Since iNtuitives are a minority, about 20% of the population, they frequently feel &amp;quot;odd&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;weird&amp;quot; in the face of the Sensing majoriy.&amp;nbsp; This site is about how we can make changes in the real world to enhance the lives of iNtuitives and educate the world about who and why we are as we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&amp;#39;re just different, that&amp;#39;s all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tasnia&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://globalintuitive.org/"&gt;http://globalintuitive.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hi! I&amp;#39;m Luminessence. On the Myers-Briggs test, I&amp;#39;m an INFJ (which fits me perfectly); astrologically, I&amp;#39;m a Virgo Sun, Aquarius Moon, Aries Asc (which, as far as I can tell, doesn&amp;#39;t fit me at all); I&amp;#39;d give you my Enneagram type, but I don&amp;#39;t think any of the types really describe me. I&amp;#39;m a mystic and a writer. As for my pife purpose - I&amp;#39;m not quite sure yet, but I&amp;#39;ve got plenty of time to figure it out. It&amp;#39;s got something to do with writing, I know that much. And maybe something to do with helping people follow the passions of their souls rather than living soul-deadening lives based around simple survival. I plan to follow where God leads me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hi Vickie and Doc, I&amp;#39;m Iona and I&amp;#39;m not sure how I got here, but it&amp;#39;s well-met, anyway. I am a Sag/Cancer rising/Taurus Moon, Grand Trine in earth signs, and a #5.&amp;nbsp; In MB, an XXXP&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;which means in the middle of I and E, NF and NT Perceiver.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not so much into test results as simply self-actualzing, but I did write a pretty good overview about profiling on my Creativity Portal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativity.chaosmagic.com/custom.html"&gt;http://creativity.chaosmagic.com/custom.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m interested in the different expressions of creativity of different types.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iona&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hello, Doc here.

Well... according to the Tickle.com personality test I just completed, they think I'm an ISFP... hmmm.... Last time they pegged me as INT/FJ, and another test I took recently came out as ENFP, so who really knows what I am? Pisces Sun, Gemini Moon, Libra ascendent.

I'm still working on figuring out my life purpose (but who isn't?). But hey, maybe working on my life purpose IS my life purpose? Right now my energies seem to be focused on self-discovery, exploration of both the spiritual and social world, freeing myself from guilt over the expectations of others, discovering my truth and speaking it clearly with those I am close to.

Next... &lt;/p&gt;
