I took the test once in high school, and I think I got INFJ but didn't think much of it. Then in university I took the test again through my employer and when I got INFJ and read what they were like, I got up, went back to the table and picked up a personality I actually liked. It was an...

@Nixie That's interesting. It seems that in the past mental health solutions were not geared to the needs of women. Women were accused of having fits, as in, people wanted them to just shut up and deal with their own problems, women were being asked to man up or else. They were also given...

"Manning-up" is different for men and women. When women ask for help for themselves, or on behalf of those weaker than themselves, they are doing what comes naturally to women, to ask for help. Asking for help is not "manning up" when a women does it, it's just being a woman. So when we tell men...

hey angular! how's it going? I came across your advice on forgiving people in my blog. at the time i couldnt even process what you were suggesting. but i see truth in it now. thank you for your advice. reading it put me on the right path, even if i didnt understand it at the time.

Chilly You are more of the indoor type, and because of this, you love a good chilly day. Or week. Or month. You love curling up with a warm sweater and blanket. And when the A/C is blasting, you just don't feel as comfy. You are an outdoors person, but only in small doses. You like to get a...

1. i think communication is a very important skill. often talent gets hidden under poor communication. at work you have to be really vocal about how hard you are working with ur bosses. not in a blamey way, but in a "i love my job and give it 110%" kind of way. 2. you may want to consider...

To be honest, I feel worse when I hear about US drone strikes that kill children in the Middle East. Cuz those kids won't be avenged and no justice will be given to them, their deaths are in vain, no one will be held accountable. At least with Boston the bad guys were caught and will be...

Thanks for sharing this. It makes sense to me. What lead you to wonder about this?
