ANNOUNCEMENT: TYPING EXAMPLES FROM "THE SYNTAX OF LOVE " BY AFANSAYEV IN SOJT

As part of my ongoing theory that every typology riddle can be solved through the use of DISC, SOJT and the Big 5; I noticed that some of my testing subjects were the same type in both Attiduinal Psyche and Psychosohpy. So I'm reading "The Syntax of Love ".

I'm finding out in most cases it's because my testing subjects ( the 200 dream people) have the same high instinct and core type in Enneagram as Afansayev's example person for his Psychosohpy type. For example, I found out that all my sx3s were typing as EFVL in both Attiduinal Psyche and Psychosohpy. I then read Afansayev's example of an EFVL in Psychosohpy, Pushkin. And lo and behold, Pushkin was an sx3.

I found this to be true for all the types that had the same Attiduinal Psyche and Psychosohpy types, except in one instance: VLEF. In that instance, they had the same SOJT type and Big5-derived Greek Temperament Blend.

But neither here nor there, the reason I'm writing this is because I am going to add any typings in SOJT I was successful in doing, to the list of typings, but because there's so many of them, I'm not going to do Typing In Practice Posts for them, so I am just going to create a symbol, that will represent "mass typings from The Syntax of Love", and put it by them

By the way, I actually have a few " Typing in Practice" posts waiting in the wings. Look for "Typing in Practice " posts on Barack Obama, George Michael, Tionne Watkins (T-Boz) and Tina Turner

ANNOUNCEMENT: MY NEXT PROJECT

Hi, everyone. I'm sure you've noticed how I'm adding additional typologies to the bottom of my True Types posts. This is actually part of my next project, which was to do the same thing with the Enneagram and Attiduinal Psyche that I did with the MBTI.

That, basically, is to use at least one of the 3 typing systems that are consistently considered accurate, reliable and valid (DISC, SOJT and the Big 5) to figure out someone's Enneagram and Attiduinal Psyche types.

So I have recently started typing the people from my dreams all over again-this time in Enneagram and Attiduinal Psyche. I am looking for trends that develop, so that I know which of the 3 trustworthy systems I could use to type people in Enneagram and Attiduinal Psyche. So far, it looks like it would be a combination of your MBTI type (obtained from comparing your DISC and SOJT results) and your Greek Temperament Blend ( obtained from a surprisingly accurate correlation I found between the Big 5 and the 4 Greek Temperaments in January) for both of them.

I have already found some

MBTI +Greek Temperament Blend = AP type

and

MBTI +Greek Temperament Blend = Enneagram

correlations, so I think I'm on the right track.

I'll get back when I have typed all 200 dream people in Enneagram and Attiduinal Psyche, and I'll let you know what I've discovered

BIG 5 POST #2: HOW THE BIG 5 CORRELATES TO THE 4 GREEK TEMPERAMENTS

Here's some correlations I found a few months ago between the Big 5 and the 4 Greek Temperaments:

I then went through using the formula mentioned in the paragraph that says: Global 5 notation=temperament blend, and used it to create a quick correlation chart for all the 5 uppercase letter combinations. Here's what I came up with:

SLOAN-Choleric/Sanguine

SCOAN-Choleric/Phlegmatic

SLOAI-Sanguine/Choleric

SCOAI-Sanguine/Melancholy

SLUAN-Sanguine/Choleric or Sanguine/Phlegmatic

SCUAN-Sanguine/Phlegmatic

SLUAI-Sanguine Dominant

SCUAI-Sanguine/Phlegmatic

SLOEN-Choleric Dominant

SCOEN-Choleric/Melancholy

SLOEI-Choleric/Melancholy or Choleric/Sanguine

SCOEI-Choleric/Melancholy

SLUEN-Choleric/Sanguine

SCUEN-Choleric/Phlegmatic

SLUEI-Sanguine/Choleric

SCUEI-Sanguine/Melancholy

RLOAN-Phlegmatic/Choleric

RCOAN-Phlegmatic/Melancholy

RLOAI-Melancholy/Sanguine

RCOAI-Melancholy/Phlegmatic

RLUAN-Phlegmatic/Sanguine

ANNOUNCEMENT: DISCORD SERVER IS AVAILABLE

Hello to everyone who follows this blog, or reads it regularly, I am currently, as I write this, creating a discord server, where we will be able to further discuss anything I post here. It's going to be the same content as this blog, which is mainly about correlating DISC, Jungian typology, the MBTI letters/facets and the Big 5. It will also talk about how to use these correlated methods to successfully type people.

There's a link, here:

Please read the hastag marked rules, and it will give you an idea of what is acceptable, and what is not.

I hope to see you on my discord soon. Love you all ❤

BIG 5 POST #1: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BIG 5

Finally, I am going to write about the third method I use in typing, the Big 5. It is similar to the MBTI in the way it works, but still is 24% more accurate than the MBTI, according to People Keys

I'm not sure exactly the reason for the 24% higher accuracy rating, except for the fact that Big 5 tests might do better at correctly categorizing results around 50/50 than the MBTI. That is my hunch.

I like the fact that Big 5 tests are easy to translate to the MBTI. They're a lot easier to translate than DISC, although my study and translation of DISC is certainly worth it, considering DISC is the most accurate and reliable typing method of any kind out there.

Here's how the Big 5 translates to the MBTI:

O= Openness to experience. A low score corresponds with S. A high score corresponds with N

C= Consciousness. A low score corresponds with P. A high score corresponds with J.

E= Extroversion. A low score corresponds with I. A high score corresponds with E.

A= Agreeableness. A low score corresponds with T. A high score corresponds with F

N=Neuroticism. This is not measured in the MBTI. But a low score is calm, and a high score is neurotic.

There's another Big 5 test out there called the Global 5, or SLOAN test. Its letter system is a little different, so I will explain it here:

R-S = I-E

C-L = Calm-Limbic (this is the N of OCEAN)

U-O = P-J

E-A = T-F

I-N = N-S

Lastly, I'll talk about 16Personalities.com. They're actually the easiest Big 5 to talk about , in regards to how it corresponds with the MBTI. Everything corresponds with the MBTI letters that are the exact same. And then, A-T (assertive-turbulent) is just their N from OCEAN.

I hope this is helpful, and happy typing! 😊

INTRODUCTION

Welcome all to my page.

Let me introduce myself. I am not going to include my actual name, or any identifying information about me, but I will say I am a middle aged person, who's been interested in typology for self improvement and group dynamics reasons since I was a teenager.

The personality typing method I have the most experience with is DISC, which I have used for nearly 25 years. I also have experience, or am familiar with many other typing methods, including Jungian typology, the Big 5, Briggs Myers, Socionics, the 4 Humors, and the Enneagram. I'm going to not reveal my type anywhere on this blog, except in my ratings of methods and tests. Obviously, there I will have to. But I don't want this blog to be about me. I want it to be about you getting to know yourself and others through the resources I provide

I will tell a little bit about my background here. I was first introduced to personality typing at the age of 13. I had already been through puberty, and was socially mature for my age, so I definitely don't feel like I got started too early. It was with Tim La Haye and the 4 Greek Temperaments, aka. the 4 Humors. I actually found my study of the 4 Humors very confusing, and hard to comprehend. The people Tim La Haye described sounded more like theories than people, to be honest. The first personality typing test I ever took was the Tim La Haye Temperament Test that was included in one of his books. And it also ended up being my first experience being mistyped. About 5 years later, a certified Tim La Haye practitioner, who went to a church, where I was a part of the college campus ministry, typed me correctly. He said he honestly couldn't understand how the test mistyped me, but still seemed to be sympathetic to my story.

Then, when I was 25, I was in a Christian bookstore, and I saw a book called, "Understanding How Others Misunderstand You ". I opened the book, and at first, thought it was another 4 Humors book, but it was not. It was actually about another typing method, called DISC. Right away, I found DISC a lot easier to comprehend than the 4 Humors, and the people in the DISC book seemed a lot more real than theororetical. So I bought the book, and I studied the book through and through. I noticed pretty early on that DISC was actually considerably different than the 4 Humors, and much more real. My nearly 25 years of loyalty to DISC started with me buying that book

My first intro into Briggs Myers came a few years later, in the early 2000's, when I was at a church women's event, and one of the speakers at the event encouraged me to read Kiersey's book, "Please Understand Me 2". I read the book, and I could almost immediately clearly identify myself as one of Kiersey's main types (guardians, artisans, rationals and idealists). I couldn't get any further than that, though. In 2007, I took what would end up being the first of many Briggs Myers tests I took over a 4 year period. I got a mistype on my first test, snd I knew it was a mistype, because it did not match up with the Kiersey type I had identified myself belonging to. So over the next 4 years, I took several different Briggs Myers tests, both dichotomy and function tests, and couldn't get the same result twice. I literally gave up on ever finding the truth about my Briggs Myers type

Then, I read Workplace ratings for Briggs Myers. I found they were not very high. However, Workplace did give significantly higher ratings to DISC and the Big 5. In 2009, I had taken 2 tests: my first DISC assessment and my first Big 5-and, go figure, like a good girl, I had saved my results for both! I then looked at the Big 5 results, and lo and behold, they had been correlated with a Briggs Myers type that was a part of my Kiersey type! I then tried to figure out if my DISC result correlated with the same Briggs Myers type. I had to do a few years of study and research to figure it out, but yes, my DISC result did, in fact, correlate to the same Briggs Myers type as my Big 5. But before I was going to say that the Briggs Myers type that correlated with those results was, in fact , my type, I wanted to get the same result twice on both DISC and the Big 5. So I took both tests again, years later, with different companies, and got nearly identical results. So I accepted the Briggs Myers type that both my DISC and Big 5 results correlated with as my Briggs Myers type. Notice how ultimately, I found out my Briggs Myers type by not even taking a Briggs Myers test, but rather, by focusing on other, more reliable, methods, and seeing how they correlated with Briggs Myers 😮

I first took an Enneagram test in 2015, I believe. Then I took it again last year. My 3 highest numbers were the same both times, and last year, I figured out what my enneagram was, by following the directions on the test

I also started learning about Socionics in 2020 and Jungian typology (SOJT) last year. I am not as well versed in them, as a result. But I can tell you that Jungian typology (SOJT) is the only typing method coming obviously out of Jung's work that Workplace gives a good rating to. It gives bad ratings to Briggs Myers and Socionics

So after that story, now I hope you can see where I intend to go with this blog. I will be talking about how to use the only 3 of all the methods I mentioned, that got at least a 60% (passing) rating from Workplace, to type yourself and others. Those methods are: DISC with a 97% Workplace rating, Jungian typology with an 80% Workplace rating, and the Big 5, with a 78% Workplace rating. I'm also going to look at Enneagram, because I think its Workplace rating would probably pass if people simply read the test instructions. I'm going to pass Enneagram on my reviews, anyway

The other methods, for obvious reasons, will not get good reviews from me, and I will not talk about them extensively outside of the review section, like I will the others.

And one last side note: I had a pediatric stroke, and 2 things I have as a result of that stroke are cerebral palsy and dyslexia. The dyslexia definitely affects my writing. So sometimes things might not flow, and I might not choose the best wording. Please understand that about me, as you read this blog.

Happy reads to you all, and I hope you learn a lot. Let's get typing!
