The MBTI lead me to Jung and the collective unconscious. I first took the Myers Briggs almost twenty years ago (at that time I tested as an INTP) - I was fascinated with the many dimensions to the system and I completely dissected it. Then I went for the theory and discovered Jung and plunged into his writing.There was a Jung bookstore where I lived that also offered some courses and I was in hog heaven.

I've taken the test several times since then and what's remained constant for me is that my intuition is off the charts and dominant. The thinking and the feeling functions have pretty much merged in the middle, but they're never dominant (that would be indicated by a J and not my ever present P).

So what that has left me with is my weakest link - the sensate - S. And that is the realm where I've done most of my spiritual growth. Yoga and dance and Sufi Zikr and all forms of meditative bodywork have been the most integrating practices I've done. The intuitive stuff is great but it's so easy for me that I don't really grow so much through it, unless I can really bring it out of my head and through my body --- kinesthetically, chemically. Yummm!
