Summary: <br> <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/ch-season3">Season 3: Personality Matters</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Don’t miss the free homeschool personalities reference page!<br> <br> <br> <br> If you all clamor for the in-depth justification of why I think it’s ok to use and recommend the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), even though it was based on Jung’s theory (and Jung was messed up) and even though each person is a beautiful unique snowflake, I can do that as the last post to this theory. But to kick this off, I’ll simply say that typing people into 4-12 kinds has been going on since Aristotle, and Kiersey (the one who named and described each of Myers-Briggs’ 16 types) makes a compelling argument that the ancient systems (like choleric, melancholic, etc) are observations of the same sort as those made by Isabel Briggs Myers.<br> <br> <br> <br> So, I will admit it. I am a personality nerd. I am a total Myers-Briggs Type Indicator junkie.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Download the free Homeschool Mom Personality Cheat Sheet<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/hsmbti/"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Listen:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read the original post: <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/2015/mbti-personality-typing">Personality Matters: Understanding MBTI Typing</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Recommended Books:<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Personality-Type-Jung-Hudson-Book/dp/0877739870/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1482855931&sr=8-1&keywords=personality+type+an+owner's+manual&linkCode=li2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=43ea6497bdd17ece70e6c9c9e5feb793" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Please-Understand-Temperament-Character-Intelligence/dp/1885705026/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1482855863&sr=8-1&keywords=please+understand+me+ii&linkCode=li2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=904e255254a79ef96d0a5c7ba8048cfc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nurture-Nature-Understand-Childs-Personality/dp/0316845132/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1482855908&sr=8-1&keywords=nurture+by+nature&linkCode=li2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=d94093d48fb4d36751745c428c9a332b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MotherStyles-Personality-Discover-Parenting-Strengths/dp/0738210455/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1482855919&sr=8-1&keywords=motherstyles&linkCode=li2&tag=simorganize-20&linkId=939bd2dc544482824eefd5277de1e937" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> Simple Sanity Saver: The Perks of Personality<br> <br> <br> <br> When you know your personality type, you can adjust your expectations of yourself and of your homeschool to be realistic.<br> <br> <br> <br> The website 16personalities.com has a useful free test that is more accurate than many free ones available on the internet.
