Fun Myers Briggs Blog - We need some Fun

You Are An INFP

The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.

At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak

23 Where do we go from Here?

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
That my technical skills have not yet atrophied and that my colleagues are as amazing as I have always suspected. Meezes are fun and RSS Feeds are not. Most IT problems are still permissions issues -- and Yahoo needs to STOP hijacking my Feeds when I want them to go to Bloglines.

This style of learning is very well suited to me. We have more computers than people in our house, and I like doing a little bit here and a little bit there as it suits me. I could not do this at work, it is too thought consuming for the Public Desk (at least for me) and the team environment I cherish in our workroom is the opposite of the solitude I require in order to write a coherent sentence. That others have managed to do this in that environment truly amazes me, vive le difference.

Thank you Howard County Library -- the MP3 player was loaded up with books and went to Italy with me -- 10 books weighing .3 oz, sounds cool right? I am really really bad at remembering to charge things -- my cell phone is dead more often then live. So of course there was that problem when it died on the beach ... Much better headphones are needed then earbuds on planes -- I had forgotten how loud airplanes are, but I did finish a major chunk of "Thursday Next - First Among Sequels". Back to the beach thing, I like to listen to the ocean and read, that is not the same as listening to a book and listening to the ocean which does not work nearly as well. Then there is the conversation thing, not the heavy duty kind, but the desultory kind you can have while reading that you do not hear with earbuds in your head. And my ears hurt.

OK.. a little off track .. what was I supposed to be writing about? Thanks to John Jewitt for the secret of the little thingie you needed to change to make your mp3 player actually play audio books. I was supposed to read the manual -- hah!

Yahoo is closing down its' podcast site on October 31st-- whats up with that??

searched on podcast.com and found the podcast site of the Denver Public Library. There are some really good children's stories recorded on there -- and that got me thinking -- hmmm.... Penny Theater , LapTheatres, some one else reading -- it's good to change it up in a program
Podcast.com

Wow! Denver Public Library has the most amazing Children's Site -- check this out -- I am sooo jealous --- just out my bloglines on the sidebar for the RSS feed

Yahoo! apologizes deeply, but we will be closing down the Podcasts site on Oct. 31, 2007

20 from YouTube Coton de Tulear - Jerry goes mad

totally like bathtime at my house times 2

Is there anyone left on the planet NOT familiar with YouTube --- even my totally computerless parents have viewed at others houses or heard references

I would LOVE to see little YouTube videos of the Ready by Five, or shorts from the some of the hysterical Children's Specials --- but there's that only takes pictures of feet thing I still haven't shaken --- technology is no substitute for talent
