My Brain on EEG
(Originally posted in Slightly Off Kilter on July 19, 2014) I’m a Science Geek. I’ve loved Science, of all kinds, for as long as I can remember. In College, I discovered Psychology and participated in as many Psych labs as I could, whether for extra credit or not. I also love learning about how the… Continue reading

I'm a Science Geek. I've loved Science, of all kinds, for as long as I can remember. I majored in Science from High School on and got my University degree in Microbiology (although I work with computers).

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain, is certainly not the only book about introversion, nor was it the first. Nevertheless, Quiet sparked a discussion that was bigger than anything we'd seen before.

23 (+3) Signs You Could Be An Introvert

I can say I… Continue reading

Synergy: MBTI, the WWW, and Me
A Long Time Ago, in a World Now Far Far Away… In 1993 I was introduced to two tools that had a profound effect on the direction my work and interests would take. The first of these was the World Wide Web (WWW). I wasn't certain, at first, how useful it would be. (:-) But… Continue reading

I am an Introvert: Thank you
From many of the things I read online, I realize that I really need to say "Thank you" to my parents for the way they raised my sister and me. Far too many people, growing up, were apparently told, pushed, or nudged in directions they didn't want to go, or directions that were just wrong… Continue reading

Social Styles vs MBTI: A Type Epiphany
Many years ago, at least 5 years before I discovered the MBTI, I took a one-day workshop called “Managing Interpersonal Relationships”, offered through my day job. The workshop used one of the “4-Quadrant Personality Models” as a way to explain and improve team communications (aka “interpersonal relationships”) in the workplace. In particular, it focused on… Continue reading

Emotional Intelligence and Type
(Note: This article was originally posted in my “personal” weblog. I decided to copy it here so that all of my Type-related posts can be found in commentary.) Yesterday, I attended a workshop entitled “Linking Type and Emotional Intelligence for Effectiveness”. The workshop was presented by Roger Pearman for BAAPT (the Bay Area Association for… Continue reading
