Myers Briggs is based on the Jungian analysis of mythology and
personality types, with a few additions. Myths being public dreams,
and dreams being private myths.
The personality types are the lens from which we interpret the inner
and outer universal symbols. e.g. Intuitively / Analytically / Senses
/ Feeling. But the symbols themselves are often the more fascinating
parts.
An interesting parallel here is the relation to Jung's archetypes of
the unconscious and WebID. Both in your dreams, and in mythology, you
have symbols where are metaphors that reference some universal
concept. WebID is of course a reference to the self ( foaf : Person
).
As many of the myths we live with today are 100s of years out of date,
and people are searching for something new, perhaps WebID can become a
modern symbol, to determine or even evangelize the new personality
type of society, post information revolution:)
Nicely stated!
I knew it would only take a little Star Wars mythology, dimensionality,
and WebID to smoke you out :-)
