There is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson may seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and is but a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself you will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness.

Y our “soul-purpose” or “mission in life” is more than merely your occupation for earning a living. It's a “way of being” in the world that calls forth the best in you. It has a potential to express in every part of your life: your job, your community life, and your relationships with friends and family.
E ach of us has a unique set of skills, talents, aptitudes and strengths. Those abilities come from the depth of the soul—that aspect of ourselves that gives life its meaning and that gives us our connection to the realm of spirit.
S ometimes seeking within ourselves can help us get a better understanding of the meaning of soul-purpose. Others may wonder, “Is this really a good point in my life to start trying to discover my own mission?”
O f our skills and talents they equip us to make a special kind of contribution to the world around us. Each of us is called to live some type of service.
P ure thoughts guided from the soul allow us to stay focused on that ideal, “mission in life” that the pureness of our soul seeks to accomplish.
I ntent of you being here you already know you're ready to start searching for your soul-purpose.
We are all looking to fulfill inner being. To find that ideal that excites us to get up every morning and look forward to the next day.
As we search our spiritual being we are looking to be whole and at one with spirit.
When we are separated from spirit we feel lost, anxiety, depression, sadness.
Now discover your ideal and bring forth your spiritual knowing to the focus of the physical life we are intended to live.

According to Jung's typology all people can be classified using three criteria.
These criteria are:
Extraversion - Introversion
Sensing - Intuition
Thinking - Feeling
Isabel Briggs-Myers added fourth criterion:
Judging - Perceiving
The first criterion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extrovert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.
The second criterion defines the method of info rmation perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly info rmation he receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly info rmation he receives from the internal or imaginative world.
The third criterion defines how the person processes info rmation. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he makes a decision based on emotion.
The fourth criterion defines how a person implements the info rmation he has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.
The different combinations of the criteria determine a type. There may be sixteen types. Every type has a name (or formula) according to the combination of criteria. For example:
ISTJ
I ntrovert S ensing T hinking J udging or
ENFP
E xtrovert I N tuitive F eeling P erceiving
For a certain person a type formula and quantitative measure of expression of each criterion (strength of the preference) can be determined using the Type inventory. Then the corresponding type description can be represented.
So, by activating the Jung Typology Test and answering the inventory questions you will discover your type formula, strength of the preferences and type description. It may help you to identify your general life style and your style in certain fields of activity (business, love, education, communications, conflicts).

This test is partially based on research by Dr. Max Lûscher during the early 1900's. He has devoted his life to the study of how color affects behavior and has been hired by some of the world's largest companies as a consultant.
The test itself is based upon fundamentals in color psychology. With years of research by color psychologists the characteristics of certain colors has been identified to cause an emotional response in people. This was done by studying the response from hundreds of thousands of test subjects around the world in order to isolate how certain colors make us feel. By doing the reverse, using the colors people prefer to determine how people feel, we can get some interesting indicators about a person's current emotional state.
It is important to understand that the results from tests like this can be both short-term and long-term in their meaning. For example, if you are feeling depressed about something when you take the test you may see this reflected in your results. You may also notice deeper conflicts showing themselves consistantly if you take the test time and time again. This test can be taken quite often and still yield results that are accurate. The results will not be the same each time you take the test, for the most part, unless you are taking them without some time interval between them.
The test is widely used in Europe and overseas. There are very few experts of Luscher's work in the United States , so for some of our American visitors the notions behind this test may seem rather strange...But give the test a try and you will be surprised!
Is the test reliable? We leave that to your opinion. We can only say that there are a number of corporations and colleges that use the Lûscher test as part of their hiring/admissions processes. It can be a useful tool for doctors and psychologists as well and is used to get a quick overview of potential issues patients may have in their lives.
Please take the test and give it a try yourself! |
