This board is begging for RO5.

I would exclude that possibility for the Drupal case :-)

Yes. Unless the installation was on the same server, then who knows? To be honest, I’ve only heard good things about Drupal, but I have never used it myself so I have no idea.

It’s more of a Fi dump.

Linked Wiki page says: continually seeking an image which has no existence in reality, but which it has seen in a kind of vision

Uh…isn’t that basically…art?

Uh… isn’t that basically…art?

It can be, but it’s a lot broader than that. Normally Fi is more concerned with morality or ethics and how it makes you feel. It sets high standards nobody can reach, but you strive for it all the same pushing you to become better than you were.

Obviously, I have strong ethics regarding security and because I haven’t looked after my Fi for a week (bad me) I became hypersensitive and emotional when my Fi felt I was misrepresented on a core issue for me. Ergo emotional outburst.

Fi?

Introverted Feeling

Oh blimey. Jungian psychology?

Jungian psychology?

Haha, yes. Not a fan of Jung’s alchemy and arch-types and other such things, but Jung’s psychological types are quite insightful. Obviously, it’s been expanded on since then and I use more modern models. It’s quite a handy tool in figuring people out.

For my sins, I spent several months as Journals Manager for the British Psychological Society (BPS)…after five and half happy years doing the same job for the Physiological Society. The physiologists were good people to work for, and mostly quite sane and wise and considerate.

I resigned my post at BPS, and survived on a bit of freelance work for a few weeks before landing the job at ARM (where I stayed until I retired) – only to be subjected to a Myers-Briggs questionnaire in preparation for a “team building” torture session…

I like MBTI, but the way they test is stupid. They focus on the letters. “How introverted or extroverted are you?” and “Are you a judger or a perceiver?” which is get people mistyped. According to the MBTI test, I’m an INFP, INTP, INTJ etc… It changes every time I take it. I dislike the actual tests.

I’m actually an ENFP, and I know this because of the cognitive function I possess and the stacking of them. This is how your type should be determined. It’s much better to type based on someone’s cognitive functions. In my case, Ne – Fi – Te – Si.

Many years ago when I noted that staff in the MHU didn’t wear uniform or other obvious identification I was asked “Do you know the difference between the staff and patients in MHU?” the follow up ‘answer’ was “The patients get better”
It took a while before I realised it wasn’t really a joke.

Ne – Fi – Te – Si

Neon, Tellurium and Silicon I’m familiar with – but what the f**k is Fi? 8~)

Neon, Tellurium and Silicon I’m familiar with

Haha. It’s intuition, feeling, thinking and sensing. The e or i states whether it’s introverted or extroverted.

Ergo emotional outburst.

Introverts and emotional outbursts. There’s a novelty…¹

¹ I am known a work for having practically zero emotional response (so long as nobody mentions Brexit), and generally preferring not to speak. Probably what made me a good care assistant as well…

It’s intuition, feeling, thinking and sensing.

Well, yes, once I knew it’s Jungian psychology we’re talking, I knew. Hence the smiley 8~)

But mostly I don’t think about Jungian psychology, or indeed any kind of psychology. (I used to think about educational psychology – I was in education before I started in academic journal work. Educational psychologists are mostly okay in my experience.)

@Rick You might have an Fi function too, although I couldn’t say with any authority because my only interaction with you is via the forum.

Just strikes me as a made up language to add to the mystique.

Questionaires, exam papers etc. All fall into a category of needs analysing so that I¹ can try and figure out the mind of the person asking the questions. That’s what you need to do to give them answers that keep them happy.

OK, so it’s a touch cynical. The thing is that if you read a lot then over time you realise sooner or later that these things are the same stuff in new clothes.

¹ I could say “you” but I find that most people don’t consider analysing the questions whereas I maintain that often if you answer the question without considering what they actually meant to ask, the response they get isn’t actually useful to them.
Hence many of my answers being framed as a leading question, to encourage analysis on their part.

Exactly! My Dad (then a headmaster) explained that point to me shortly before I took the 11-plus. It’s stood me in very good stead ever since.

Every speciality needs its jargon, to make up for the imprecision of ordinary speech. And it is useful, too, for dunning the laity.

generally preferring not to speak.

@Rick. I think that is generally called wisdom.

Every speciality needs its jargon, to make up for the imprecision of ordinary speech. And it is useful, too, for dunning the laity.

And the balance between these two motivations varies widely from specialty to specialty…having worked in several different fields over my career, that’s something I’m very aware of…

There’s a very nice article in a recent London Review of Books about the history of “insanity” as a defence in law, and more generally about medicalization of mental health – I can look out the details for anyone who’s interested. It’s online but sadly behind a paywall (I think – most but not all of their articles are).

It was something I “just did” and I’d left school before I discovered it was actually a tutored technique.

And it is useful, too, for dunning the laity.

Oooh that’s an interesting, slightly cryptic, reference.

Not a fan of TLA’s or indeed any length of tag/buzzword used to obscure the meaning or attempt to look clever.

TLA? Is that Teaching and Learning Assistant ? Jargon is also used to create us/them barriers. What I meant by laity were the folk outside the barrier. Don’t get me onto the defeat of teaching by managerialism (or bullying as it used to be called). I think I need some of Rick’s silence now.

Don’t get me onto the defeat of teaching by managerialism (or bullying as it used to be called).

It’s still very much in fashion. Also interesting how the bullies frequently accuse others of the offence.

I think I need some of Rick’s silence now.

Me too.

Also interesting how the bullies frequently accuse others of the offence.

I believe that’s called “transference”.

The thing is that if you read a lot then over time you realise sooner or later that these things are the same stuff in new clothes.

You mean like how everybody had attention deficit disorder (which evolved into ADHD), and now everybody is autistic? I don’t consider myself to be autistic. I took a lengthy online test which suggests that I quite likely am. Answers here with justification and discussion for each answer: https://www.heyrick.co.uk/blog/index.php?diary=20151211
Thing is, we’re people and we’re complicated so while there may be some predefined traits (I identify as introvert, strongly), there ought to be roughly as many categories as there are people.

@Rick. I think that is generally called wisdom.

;-)

TLA? Is that Teaching and Learning Assistant ?

Three Letter Acronym

Your result on that test is very similar to mine, Rick.

I also don’t consider myself to be autistic.

Oh, quite a few more categories than people, I think! 8~)
