It may not make much sense for me to put my typings down as anyone who knows me well enough knows that I can’t stand feeling contained in any way, emotionally, mentally, physically hahaha. Labels and such typically make me want to instantly run for the high hills to join Julie Andrews in song and dance. But, I put any and all typings that I know of myself mostly for the use of others as a shorthand as to how they might want to communicate with me.
I don’t know if people actually modify their communication or approach towards others based on type, but I use people’s self typings in a similar way. And that’s sort of the point of these sorts of systems is it not? Use as a sort of shorthand tool for understanding others and yourself...dang, ok ya that’s it for sure! Just realized this but ya, that’s why I don’t have a problem with THESE labels applied to me, because I understand them as a shorthand. If they were meant to be understood more as factual or definitive of a person then yes, that would induce enough cringe moments on my face to put dried apricots to shame. Ok, I know what I just said seems like I deserve the biggest “DUH†slapped on my forehead, but...I can’t explain it so well at the moment, but there’s something within this obvious statement that explains why I give exception to these labels applied me.
