another quiz

still going on that book list - but more quiz fun in the meantime -more labels to own or dismiss - if you are christian you can take this test - if not it would probably be boring - go take the enneagram instead!!!

Enneagram

Enneagram

I mentioned the enneagram last blog without explaining - I have found this a lot less useful than the MB, - it is not as well based - but still it was of some interest - I found it interesting as it did seem to pinpoint how my husband and I though same MBT were different -I will wait for him to respond and tell you what he is , but I either come out -depending on which test - as a helper type 2 or individualist type 4. I suspect this is - as they say on the site below - that women are taught to be 2s - I suspect my mum is one too, but my natural preference may be more 4 - though I dont find either type entirely accurate.

personality and marriage

in the discussion of personality we are having (see also iloveasunnyday blog)

another interesting point: what personalities make good marriages?
andrew and cec - see blog below on blogging and type - enfj and entj. This may be a very good match - not all the same, so there is complementarity, especially on the male/female related dimension of T/F , but also enough the same to give compatibility.

My husband and I are the same type..... we agree a lot, which is nice, and like doing a lot of the same things. But it means we have the same weaknesses. 2 Ps is very chaotic - I find myself as the moderate P having to be J in the marriage. He has to do likewise on T, as I am an extreme F.

However, we do come out as different personalities on Enneagram.

help needed

I am currently working on a post about my fave books. As a P (perceptive type, see blogs on Myers Brigg) making decisions about what to put in the list is taking time, so in the meanwhile here is a boring blog for you, but good for me...

Please help me on a debate I am in at church on tithing on friday - I am meant to be pro. As a very non legalistic person, this is hard - I keep thinking of anti arguments. I am thinking of defining tithing not as a tenth but more generally as a systematic practice of giving - is this legit? and any arguments for me????

btw, as a P, taking sides in such a definite way as you do in debating is quite hard!
