my theory of personality types

[Kimani]

Hello, My name is Kimani Shorter and I'm promoting my theory of personality types. This is a summary of my theory and the three types I came up with.

It reconfigures some of Carl Jung's archetypes and some of the types found on the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) into something new.

Perhaps this is a bit too simple, though it is interesting.

 

[Kimani]

Thanks for the feedback

I would recommend some data to back up your theory. But good for you on trying to fit all the pieces together.

I have a question.

I see your methods and I will suspend disbelief that your system is useful.

however what is your method for placing people in each type?

The system may be beneficial but if you can't place people into the system it has no use.

Make sure not to tell Jung that...

Well that easy enough Jung's dead.

Well that easy enough Jung's dead.

What?! When did that happen?

Thanks that reference truly made me laugh out loud. (softly but It was audible.)

I, too, was quietly amused by this exchange.

Are you saying that fitting into a certain two archetypes imply's a certain disorder or illness?

What if a persons personality fit the Mother and the Shadow archetype?

f find it all a bit confusing, confusing as in where you are going with it... I am also a little drunk, so there is that too.

A questionnaire has been developed. I just haven't put it on the site yet.

The archetype pairs match up with disorders.

I'm interested in a more in depth analysis/explanation of the theory as you develop it more.

As I said, also, I am a bit drunk, had about six this evening, so do not take my confusion too harshly.

Hey, I just noticed that the three archetypes seem to correlate with the basic emotions of love, fear and hate.

The designer is driven by anxiety (fear), hence troubled, always seeking insight to protect oneself from the dangers of uncertainty.
The professional is driven by compassion (love), hence nurturing and yet vulnerable because it takes self-sacrifice to truly give of oneself in this way.
The charmer is driven by frustration (hate), an internal hostility that drives competition and restlessness with the mundane and certain.

Perhaps this is a bit too simple, though it is interesting.

My thoughts also.

Not to reduce your theory, but I notice these possible connections:

The Designer:
Enneatype 5 (1?)

The Professional:
Enneatype 2, 6 (, 9?)

The Charmer:
Enneatype 8, 3, 7


edit: hate-fear-love exists somewhat in Enneagram also.

Anger(body, instincts): 1, 8, 9
Fear(mind, thoughts): 5, 6, 7
Love(heart, feelings): 2, 3, 4

Here is the assessment. It is based on the characteristics of the disorders.

Has anyone taken the assessment?

Unprofessional yet Charming Designer. I can handle that.

 

[Kimani]

I would appreciate as much feedback as possible on the assessment and the theory.

That is how it all starts.
