Hi Mu!
Did you survey zaadsters about their Meiers-Briggs scores? It sounds like an interesting project and it may shed light on the type of energy that has been attracted to zaadz....Ed

just for the halibut, I just went and took the test again........ (first took it about 15 years ago) and today i am 100% introvert! funny. hence the hermit manifestation in me, i assume. so easy to be idealistic in my hermitage! for me, it is more like after a day of being beaten down by not only the world but the amazingly dark world that I work in, i retreat as far as possible. sometimes, of course, i get lost. that's the down side!

so much easier for me to interact this way than to go out..... horrors! also, in this form if I get overwhelmed or am avoiding someone/something, its not as obvious as it would be in person! my being a 'dreamer' and idealist don't work well in my occupational choices!

but when i did the advisor personality test
i came up with rationalist

that doesn't mean still and calm
for me
it means
dynamic equilibrium
not so simple harmonic motion
as close to chaotic...

I haven't see this in years...fun to be back into it! I'm finding the "second phase is challenging for me...I get literally dozens of great ideas, but when it comes time for the extra stuff on the computer, I'mat a loss...oh well, always more to learn!

I have a feeling there are many many "NF" zaadzsters. I've wondered if there is a way I could make a poll somehow to find out what the ratios would be (but that would require that people have taken the tests and knew what they 'were').

Hmmm, thinking thinking.

I'm going to see what I can come up with to do that. :-)

For those who have taken either the Myers-Briggs or Keirsey Temperament Sorter and came up as "NF" - this is related to that stuff.

IDEALIST NFs, being ABSTRACT in communicating and COOPERATIVE in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in DIPLOMATIC INTEGRATION. Thus their most practicing and tutoring (NFP advocating). And they would if they could be sages in one of these forms of social development. The Idealist temperament have an instinct for interpersonal integration, learn ethics with ever increasing zeal, sometimes become diplomatic leaders, and often speak interpretively and metaphorically of the abstract world of their imagination.

They are proud of themselves in the degree they are empathic in action, respect themselves in the degree they are benevolent, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are authentic. Idealist types search for their unique identity, hunger for deep and meaningful relationships, wish for a little romance each day, trust their intuitive feelings implicitly, aspire for profundity. This is the "Identity Seeking Personality" -- credulous about the future, mystical about the past, and their preferred time and place are the future and the pathway. Educationally they go for the humanities,avocationally for ethics, and vocationally for personnel work.

Social relationships: In their family interactions they strive for mutuality, provide spiritual intimacy for the mates, opportunity for fantasy for their children, and for themselves continuous self-renewal. Idealists do not abound, being as few as 8% and nor more than 10% of the population.
