Do You Believe in the MBTI?

Recently, I was reminded of the consequences of my Myers-Briggs Typology (INFP). Such things as conflict avoidance or lacking an objective, decisive attitude causes funny (or frustrating depending on the point of view) moments trying to decide where and what to eat, getting a project completed, or socializing.

Of course now I sort of did finish something. With obsessive compulsive zeal and a lack of rational thought, I just did something incredibly stupid. I am really starting to remember why I do the things I do. Too bad I have yet to get my parents to understand me much less some of my friends. Here is a great little summary I found:

"INFPs… vacillate between two primary desires. Some days, we are monks. We dig up our insides like gardens. We sit by ourselves on the porch and write. We leave parties early to be alone. Other days, we are explorers. We create new projects, foster new ideas. We busy ourselves with hard work. We want to change the world." - Deborah Good, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I think I find it most frustrating to feel very intensely about specific people or things but fail to express it clearly (if at all). The great potential is the devotion and intense passion I can offer. My weakness is that my idealism makes me prone to dreams, fantasy and the occasional irrational thought. I think that is why I am attracted to TJ types. I think I will make a great husband and parent but a horrible manager or disciplinarian.

Eric/k Malmberg's in History

I was astounded about what you can find on Google when you just type things in at random. Of course then it came to mind let's see how good those search engines really are. Well I found out "big brother" is indeed watching me. It is scary how every word or image taken of you can just show up on the internet. Where is my privacy (or was there any to begin with)?

Anyways I found out (according to the internet) that these were other Erik Malmberg's in history listed on a website somewhere:

* Erik Malmberg (1924) - chess player
* Erik Malmberg (1924, 1928, 1932) - winner in Olympic wrestling
* Erik Malmberg (2004) - Swedish musician
* Eric Malmberg (2005) - Swedish musician
* Eric Malmberg (1888-1951) - actor
* Eric Malmberg (1996) - author of books on gymnastics for kids
