Personality Discussion BoardSiberia Personality Discussion BoardStub/prototype/ideas from a post by invicta to Siberia:
product: § a community for theorists to share and test their personality theories and systems niche: the only unaffiliated, non-commercial forum to provide exposure for all new and existing personality systems and theories. strengths: progressive atmosphere, nearly no moderation, information source, collective creativity, networking opportunities for theorists, the latest in personality theories for those interested in self-discovery, intelligent discourse. weaknesses: dominance of competing forums—most notably the EIDB, lack of exposure, lack of an exclusive domain opportunities: growing interest in self-discovery, personal growth, and psychology threats: possible obscurity through the large number of competing sites implementation: targeted site promotion highlighting the specific benefits that make Siberia a uniquely desirable forum
bluelotus Could the board become associated with similarminds, or ptypes or some other personality typing group that offers tests etc. a way to bring in fresh energy? (Hope no one takes this as an insult.) Charlie g 1. a voice room: instead of communicating through the written word, we download our voice responses. of course not everyone could take part in it because it requires a mic which to communicate through. but i think once a few people, or even one, takes advantage of the voice room, more people will get equipped. even if only a few people could take part in ths, it would be a good draw even for those who want to listen. most of us have speakers, and most of us are curious about the voice at the other end. 2. interview: once a week someone conducts a candid interview with one member over the phone and then writes it for us to see. i say over the phone because it will help catch certain traits in the person we miss in their writing style. the interviewer would preferably stay the same, be a trusted member, and willing to talk long=distance. it will also give us a chance to learn more about members who don't always get much attention. it will also draw people in who figure that they will get a turn in the spotlight as well. DionysusAJ I realize that this board is more than just the enneagram as it is now, but making it officially so would allow people even more liberty and may entice more outsiders who aren't knowledgable on the enneagram. Just throwing an idea out there. Ptypes Determine, study, and discuss everyone's PType. Have as regular topics discussion of the noteworthy examples (that would include Ethan, now) on PTypes, their literary, artistic, and scientific works. I will list Siberia members on their appropriate PTypes page. Members' posts may be linked to and quoted on PTypes' pages. Get into your PType, and learn to, also, find the other personality type patterns in your personality. We could talk about philosophy and practices to deal with problem areas. Gypsyscorpion Entre1 Eye of Thoth I'm in a rush, but I wanted to say that I do love the ptypes idea. Also I posted something a long time ago agreeing with what AJ just said - the E is too narrow. Somehow the perspective should be broadened. I will keep posting here no matter what though, because, as bluelotus pointed out, noone else has such an extensive collection of animated smileys! Me
