Great analysis, thanks.
Last i checked, i was supposedly an ENTP; that was 10 years ago
though; probably just a raving loony tune now :)
Hah, mine was around 99 or so, similar thoughts here.
Can you expand on the "healthy balance" thing, Ash? Sounds
interesting.
Well, we have innate talents and tendencies but there are common
experiences like emotions, the symbols we learn from family/society to
interpret our experiences, various forms of reasoning and logic. So I
think we are all mostly fumbling in the dark with our limitations and
aptitudes, using tools that supposedly are the one size fits all variety
(logic). Mostly it seems we are just tweaking our biases here and there
for the most part until larger pictures emerge that become a part of the
perceptual narrative. For me it can take a very long time to absorb what
others can memorize easily, like my consciousness is facing a barricate
and the best way through is to visualize or build working models, which
fade quickly if I cannot fit them into effective larger structures.
However in discussion, I remember the least when someone makes an
assertion but as the conversation goes on my pattern matching seems to
exceed most and I can pull very fine details out that they have no hope
of recalling. So 'healthy balance' for me would be turning what are
apparently very challenging/limiting traits into assets.
Strangely I scored 50/50 on a left-right brain thinker test, what sense
that could make is beyond me, but my potential career placement
printouts made quite a huge stack of paper (whatever that means too)
with social services, public leadership/judge on through most of the
engineering careers. What good is it if it all goes to waste, noone
understanding, wrong world/time/place, etc.. It is interesting, I like
to think we can all make a contribution, just sucks that there don't
seem to be convenient solutions, this causes me to analyse the
limitations of today's society and I know things could be better. This
puzzle is for us all, here to solve IMO. Hope none of this sounds
egotistical, I wouldn't wish it on anyone- though I see elements of
myself strewn across the human experience by my fellows and this is a
source of deep compassion/conviction.
How do you see your situation and these things?

Depends how you separate them, in general they seem to mean:
Heart - informed by your emotions and passions
Mind - informed by your knowledge and reasoning
I'm not at all sure which would encompass instinct, and disagree that
heart or mind can be cleanly divided like this. Our thinking gives
emotion meaning and emotion plays a part in reasoning too, both inform
both, but one can take a dominant position in making a decision. My type
is INFJ, though don't think this makes it more or less difficult to come
to the same conclusions as other types, it seems to effect mostly my
dominant thinking strategy/intuitive capacities. Whether my mind is in
healthy balance with innate tendencies is a whole other matter however. :D

Interesting...not sure; perhaps when the heart says "go" the mind says
"no", and when the mind says "go" the heart says "no"...perhaps.
