'Personality' Articles
There are observable elements of the human personality, and we have complex symbolism connected to it as well as very abstract language. There are different domains of human function, and different degrees of aptitude, and even different predilections. Are these invalid as purely biological bias, or can we learn from them and apply these definitions and understanding to our lives? Each type navigates the world in an identifiable way, and are often poorly understood by others who aren’t as strongly oriented that way.
“I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.” Oscar Wilde (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)
“Most great men and women are not perfectly rounded in their personalities, but are instead people whose one driving enthusiasm is so great it makes their faults seem insignificant.” Charles A. Cerami
Personality
There are three personality types over the two genders: phalic hysteric schizoid None are mental health issues and it could be said that: phalic = rage hysteric = feeling schizoid = cerebral Do you feel non identification with gender impulses? You may be genuinely and naturally schizoid. It doesn’t mean the other factors don’t matter. They do, and it is more like handedness. But don’t these things usually come in fours? Yes. The unio mentalis, inner marriage, can be two way which would be the fourth. Or complete, which would be a fifth. Complete is all of them. Two way… Seek More
Foundation of Awareness
Personality types actually reveal more than they would seem to. What makes our personality real? Is it really nothing more than conditioning and arbitrarily selected views? We don’t have uniform instincts across the human spectrum do we? I mean, when people are pushed past reason do they all act the same way? When you are pushed past reason so you must rely on instinct, some of the very fibre of your being is revealed. This was the cornerstone of the philosophy held by the Marquis de Sade, and goes into the art of torture in general. Some need a hug,… Seek More
Personality Domains
How many domains of function are there? There have been both mystical and newer “scientific” systems to identify personality traits. There are many four quadrant models, and even math can in a sense apply to this. Psychology identifies only two broad personality types in both genders, so in a sense again a total of four. Everyone familiar with learning styles? It has been recognized that every person favours one or two modes of taking in information: visual, auditory, tactile input, etc. And even what amounts to an almost kinetic, purely impulse style of processing. None of these methods are better… Seek More
Your Strengths
You can claim nothing, say you embody all personality types and have nothing to use or build on, or you can get down to application. We can be nice and religious about this, but are my strengths your strengths? There are things that are me, and there are things that are you. For me visual imagery, or symbolism, doesn’t come readily to me. So if I want to see the big picture, an “overview”, should I just sit and piece it together because I am everything? Or maybe I should turn to another who has a natural facility for the big… Seek More
