Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

I have a long-term relationship with MBTI, and i just found another great resource for it:

MBTI Wikibook

Those are the best descriptions I've found in a long time! (just the short ones - the long descriptions aren't all filled out yet)

Here are my other favorite MBTI page links:
Human Metrics - this page has the best test, imo.
Personality Page
Type Logic - I love their icon thing - it's a perfect way to think about personality types.
Blog Thing - in four questions
MBTI for Librarians
Typology.net - MBTI in pictures ...
Myers Briggs and True Colors Course - make sure to check out the awesome chart

Specific INTP pages:
INTP.org - an amazing INTP description
INTP Ccentral - an INTP community

Carl Jung Pages:
Why a mandala was used for the MTR-i

I can't find a page .. it discussed a suggested change to MBTI where the dominant trait is capitalized so that it could be denoted separately from the J/P classification. For instance, I would be an InTP and by husband would be an INtP. J/P really don't have anything to do with which characteristic is most dominant/extroverted even though it is assumed to be so in MBTI, and was invented by Myers and Briggs anyway. If anyone knows where that page is (it was very red) leave me a comment!

Other:
Emergance - interesting non-MBTI based site
Personality Theories
True Colors - A simplified MBTI

A couple additions:
Personality Type and Prayer
Not your Typical Myers-Briggs - This describes the evil side of each type .. quite funny!

Rise and Shine!

Here is the "perfect" version of the Noah's Ark camp song .. at least it's my version!

Rise and Shine!



The Lord said to Noah,
there's gonna be a floody, floody.
Lord said to Noah,
there's gonna be a floody, floody.
GET THOSE ANI-MALS
out of the muddy, muddy!
Children of the Lord!

CHORUS:
So, rise and shine
and sing out your glory, glory!*
Rise and shine
and sing out your glory, glory!
RISE AND SHINE AND
sing out your glory, glory!
Children of the Lord!

* And give God the glory, glory!

So, Noah, he built him
he built him an arky, arky.
Noah, he built him
he built him an arky, arky.
BUILT IT OUT OF
Gopher barky, barky!*
Children of the Lord!

* Hick'ry, Beaver

(Chorus)

The animals they came on
they came on by twosies, twosies.
Animals they came on
they came on by twosies, twosies.
EL-E-PHANTS AND
kanga-roosies, roosies!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

It rained and it poured for
fourty daysies, daysies.
Rained and poured for
fourty daysies, daysies.
DROVE POOR NO-AH
nearly crazies, crazies!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

Well, finally, yes finally,
the rain it did stoppy, stoppy.
Finally, yes finally,
the rain it did stoppy, stoppy.
LAND-ED ON A
mountain toppy, toppy!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

Then Noah, he sent out,
he sent out a dovey dovey.
Noah, he sent out,
he sent out a dovey dovey.
OUT IN-TO THE
sky abovey bovey!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

The sun came out and
dried up the landy landy.
Sun came out and
dried up the landy landy.
EVE-RY-THING WAS
fine and dandy dandy!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

The animals they came out
they came out by threesies, threesies.
Animals they came out
they came out by threesies, threesies.
MUST HAVE BEEN THOSE
birds and beezies, beezies!*
Children of the Lord!

* CROC-O-DILES AND chimpanzeesies-zeesies!

(Chorus)

So this is the end of
the end of our story, story.
This is the end of
the end of our story, story.
EVE-RY-THING WAS
hunky dory, dory!
Children of the Lord!

(Chorus)

Why

says a friend of mine: you should be on Jeopardy, you know everything!

says my husband: you should make a page about what you're reading, you're always reading such cool stuff.

says me: wow, I want to make a web page where I can make lists of links that I've found useful.

so ... here's Sophia's List. I can't guarantee that I will ever write anything insightful about what I'm reading (although, I might!), but I will say, that at least it will be interesting!
