~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love discussions such as this and I hope Moose won't mind me starting a new thread about it.

while it may be a bit off topic, the human mind fascinates all of us and for us that come here, the subject of suicide is an undeciphered part of the human mind.

Anyways, I thought we'd have fun with this little subject down here.

To start off, I think of all that have contributed to science and philosophy, there isn't anyone that is ALL wrong or ALL right. And because we all tend to gravitate who(m) we most identify with, it all branches out.

I think Socrates branched out Plato and Aristotle in the west and in the East, you have the Confuciusim and Lao Tze's Daoism

and of course, inbtween countless others of schools and branches and thoughts.

Back to Jung, what have always fascinated me about Jung is that after all the analytical studies, he thinks that humans are by nature: Religious thus he united myths and science together.

that's a good part of romanticism that I like. I like that once we've analyzed something to death, and there can be no more said to be done, we now can say, ya know, I liked the Myths better.

Case in point, after Franklin found out that lightning was nothing but electricity. I wonder how many folks preferred that they liked the Zeus used the Thunderbolts and lightning to punish those that defiled him.

I don't care for the part that we are rooted in in Religion but I am not totally against it neither. I am just not sure about it.

I like that he talks about balance. I have wondered that after all the years of scientific studies that he finally said, ya know, I am just beating this thing to death, and it's just not fun anymore. I need other things to balance me out.

when he speaks of mana, while I think it's very romantic, I am afraid that was what spawned off all those psychic networks that charged a person $4.99/ minute to talk...I think folks took his ideas and really ran away with that part, the psychic part

on the other hand, Freud bugs me a lot...when we studied him, I can see why he was important in his contributions. I can see where where one can take his innovative ideas and then develop on them. My problem with his Oedipus complex and that this deeply rooted sexual drive that starts at infant and that everything goes back to "sex" does bug me but then I laugh because I can remember one of my classmates wrote this awesome paper backing this up.

It was read out loud and printed for all of us read.

I can't remember all of it, but parts of it stated that he agreed with Freud because everything a man does, goes back to wanting to have sex with women.

For example. Why do we go to work? So we can make money, so we can take a girl out on a date, so we can have sex with her.

Why do we eat? So we can have energy, so we can have sex later.
Why do we sleep? So we can wake up refreshed, go to work, eat, and have sex later.

He made us all cracked up but in thinking about, made a lot people nod...

so I can't say that I can dismiss the whole notion of Freud's work.

And I know that he contributed a lot to other fields and studies...and those were all important.

I can't compare psychologists/psychiatrists with philosophers, there are parallels but they are not the same.

But here I will try an impossible task because for some reason, I put Ralph Waldo Emerson as someone I can identify more with. I think this is where I part from Jung as much as I like him that I go with Ralph.

That test is very interesting. I took it and it listed these for me as my career choices:

Humanist (Humanity)
Web Designer (which I've done)
Musician (I play a little music)
Literature/Writer ()
Archaeology (I have an interest, but not vast)

it's pretty dead on for me. Actually....

and this is the page it took me to people that are in the catergory that I tested. I was like, cool....LOLOLOL (when they say that Albert Schweiter and George Orwell are Idealist Healers, I am just honored to test into that catergory. LOLOLOL Yeah, right, how many are rolling their eyes. I didn't see invisible man on the list... )

Dude.

DUDE!

Thanks for posting this. I'm still an ENFJ. (Last took this in 2001.) I noticed that my answers weren't as "strong" (%) as the last time though. I guess I've grown/changed/evolved a little since then. Or I've become wishy-washy.

And then they paired me with Bill Clinton AND Ronald Reagan.

LOL.

Dudes, I'm an Artisan/Crafter-ISTP. But after a second run, I came up with Artisan/Crafter-ISFP. Go figger.

But Mr. Moi. I had a hard time answering a lot of the questions.

Hmmmmm Idealist counselor....And I actually have been thinking about counseling or the religions....veeerrryyyy interesting indeed....

Moi, I fit into most of the same work-type categories...but I especially like the literature one....

My Type is ISFJ

Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging

Qualitative analysis:
*Distinctively expressed introvert
*Slightly expressed sensing personality
*Moderately expressed feeling personality
*Distinctively expressed judging personality

That last one did surprise me. "Distinctively expressed judging personality" is not something I'd have thought of in regards to myself. I certainly am not judgmental.... not in any way. Maybe I've misunderstood the meaning.

Apparently I'm a Guardian.

Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard-working.
Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.

I do not dream of meting out justice, but for the rest it's fairly close to me. I am shy, very sensitive but tend to be a loner.

Other people with similar traits include Jimmy Carter, Frederic Chopin, & Jane Fonda.

Of the careers suitable for me, one was nursing.... which I did all my working life.
