Where Do I Belong?

I've just started reading a new book called "Who's Your City" by Richard Florida. It's all about the idea that where you live is the key to success and happiness, and that you have to find the place where you belong.

Where in the world would I fit in? Where should I live? I'm taking suggestions.

(Editor's Note: "Hell", "Your Momma's etc., etc.", and anything of the sort are not actually geographic locations, which is more of what I'm after here. But thanks for your concern nonetheless.)

California from your description sounds like a place where a lot of "Enthusiasts" (type 7) go to live and the East sounds like a place where "Challengers" live (type 8) from the Enneagram.

I just took a quick online version of the test, and it said that I'm a type 6 with a type 7 "wing", whatever that means.

I am INFJ, the rarest of all the types.

[TheLogicJunkie]

and, if memory serves, also the most potentially deadly, because you emote privately and very obsessively and close-mindedly, but with great richness.

@TheLogicJunkie I was right on the edge for the I and the E, though, so that probably doesn't apply to me. There was nothing about close-mindedness.

[TheLogicJunkie]

@PolitcalIslam The degree of close-mindedness applies to the last letter -- whether it's "J" or "P". At least that's my paraphrase of it.

"J" stands for "judging", and "P" for perceiving". It basically describes what the individual's ultimate purpose for information processing is: do they process to perceive and understand, or do they process to make a final judgment and then move on?

I am really thinking that Hawaii would be right for you. Most people are friendly and kind without the superficial politeness. Snobbery is unacceptable here. People like logic here a lot! From the Asian influence, and the simple yet profound logic of Native Hawaiian culture. being comfortable is like a first priority here. People gather in large numbers around food and music, but without the snobbery of the NW. My uncle is a lot like you and he found his home here.

@TheLogicJunkie I don't know how accurate that assessment is, but a 6 with a 7 wing is a LOYALIST (primary desire = security) with a secondary function as an ENTHUSIAST (primary desire = fun). I could go into detail of what this means, but I suggest you read "Personality Types" instead as it is a fountain of positive knowledge.

@TheLogicJunkie LOL, SOOOO TRUE. POWERFUL PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOKING 4 A REASON TO BULLY OTHERS.

[TheLogicJunkie]

...Only until Poppy Bush starts getting insecure again and goes looking for some lone victim to bully to death, just to flex his he-man muscles. Then just cross your fingers and hope that he and his league of Hansa-brats don't learn about you all alone in the mountains, minding your own business.
