Defining The Mind
The mind is a vast subject, and can be defined by many different parameters. Many things are considered, such as history, culture, general temperament, and, in some cases, when you were born or your placement among your siblings. It is a topic that is of some interest and peculiar fascination to me, so naturally I've put my findings and the data I've gathered from extensive informal research here, for your education and enjoyment. Let's Define The Mind together!
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
- Derived from Jungian personality theory, categorizes people into sixteen types, based on what data they gather and choose to utilize when interacting with the world.
- The Five Love Languages
- Five parameters, which can be broken into two groups, are used to determine by what method you show love and affection, as well as how you best receive it.
- D&D Character Stats
- A rather unorthodox typology system. Gauges a person's natural and preferred skills using six parameters, and additionally determines which D&D class the person would thrive as.
- Questionaires
- Curious to define your mind? Look no further! Here an assortment of quizzes and questionaires has been compiled for your convenience.
Parameters of Study
Different typology systems measure different aspects of the human experience. Therefore, it is erroneous to declare that one system is better or more accurate than another. Depending on what aspect of the mind you are defining, a certain typology system may be more or less suitable to your purposes. While certain tests or analyses of a system may not be accurate to what the system was meant to measure (some of these analyses can lead to typology being used as pseudoscience) it doesn't necessarily mean that the system itself is broken. It's just being used inaccurately.
I am not an astrologist. I have studied several practical typology systems, one of which is not generally thought of as a parameter by which to Define The Mind, but is nevertheless a fun and practical lens through which to view humanity. No person perfectly fits into any of these categories and therefore typology cannot be used as a way to predict a person's future or potential. It is simply a fun way to understand how different minds work and how we all relate to each other.
