The Myers Briggs Personality evaluation, for me, has been the best test of one's inate abilities that I have found. In my workplace, I administer the test to my staff to assess their personality types so I understand where they are coming from in a group setting.


In reading the "Cartoon Scientist" description of his type, I can relate to almost all of it except for the math portion, as that is where the "F" and the "T" of it are different. As an ENFP, my "F" is "feeling", not "thinking". To that end, I don't apply mathematical theory to what I do, but rather apply feelings to my analysis of situations.

Anyone can benefit from taking the Myers Briggs test from a personal and professional standpoint. I now understand why my friends are my friends, and those that I tend to conflict with are in that category. I sometimes wish I could be more of a "thinker" than a "feeler", but being aware of the difference really makes a "difference"

If an individual is trying to discover where they belong in the world be it with interpersonal relationships or occupational interests, taking the Myers Briggs test is a great beginning to finding a match to enhance your future and place you in a place where you want to be. It will help you be a square peg in a square hole, rather than a square peg in a round hole.

Encountering this article was quite fortuitous for me as I plan on using some of the "Cartoon Scientist's" observations when I attend a job interview tomorrow, as he pointed out alot of positives about the EN and P parts of my personality that I may not have recognized as I evaluated what good qualities I have and want to point out, so Thank You.......

Barry's Response - My daughter, whom I had believed to prefer ENFP as well, abhorred her grade 6 math homework and it was a fight to get her to complete her assignments.

Keep grinnin', Sue, and thanks for dropping by. Good luck with the interview process.

The intricate dance of physics and meteorology,

where the cosmos and the atmosphere dance together!  Imagine yourself as a curious soul, enchanted by the beauty of this awe-inspiring domain.  You can't help but be captivated by this captivating world.  

Take a look at the invisible symphony of forces and particles.  Meteorology's secrets are revealed by the delicate balance of these cosmic constituents.  Wind whispers and sun caresses are actually elaborate compositions of charged particles, waves, and celestial dances.

A great psychologist would probably approach this subject with some introspection and explore the influence weather has on our emotions, motivations, and social structures.  Of course weather affects not just our environment, but also our moods and behavior.

Physics and meteorology become a quest for understanding the relationships external forces and human experience.  A look at the whims of atmospheric patterns and the intricate mechanisms of the human mind.

To love physics and meteorology is to love existence itself, our world and minds and the synergy between the cosmic happenings and the inner mechanisms of the human soul.  More than curiosity, it's a passion, a desire to grasp the mysteries of the universe and ourselves.

I have read your article and I have been also feeling like you. Because my son also fighting with his math homeworks. I always think that how to solve his issue with math. Anyway I think he will solve his issues himself.

From Barry - Sometimes it's best to let kids struggle and figure things out on their own. It helps them develop problem-solving skills and learn to take charge of their own lives.

Create an atmosphere of trust and understanding so they can ask for help if they need it.
