I recently read M. Scott Pecks book Glimpses of the Devil where he shares his experience as a psychologist, dealing with two cases where he works with demonically possessed people. Controversial (and spooky) as the subject matter may be, I love his style. His thoughts are a no-nonsense, fully intelligent as well as faith-based approach to the realities of evil. I found the book helpful in realising the realities of evil. I recommend it.

 

Now, for the tangent, at the end of the book he references his personality type, as Myers-Briggs would describe it. I had not taken the test for almost a decade or so, and I thought it would be fun to check out just who I am again. I always think it a great idea to let a test determine my personality and future choices.

 

You may have recognised from my words that I do not hold these things as holy writ, but I do enjoy the snapshot aspect of glancing at my personality in a mirror for a moment. I feel that these tests when used properly can be helpful, but should not determine your life. They merely reflect your present, providing clarity for the next steps into your future.

Take the test, in case you were wondering, I am a ENTJ … at least I was a couple of days ago.

    Mark … so what WAS Peck’s Myers-Briggs?

    He was quite the writer. Made lots of us think.

    My MBPI, best guess … ENT/FP … t/F? T/f?

    I love Pecks thoughts .. particularly on community building. He suggests that we all begin in pseudo-community, then enter chaos. I love how Chaos is after the calm of pseudo-community … just when we think we are in community, the trouble begins.

    What is counter-intuitive is the fact that the time of chaos, when it feels less like community, is in actuality the time when truer and deeper community is being formed if we let it…
