2024.05.20 08:48 itsquacknotquack 6w7, 7w6, 1w9? Is it common to be stuck between these types?

So, I'm thinking a 6w7, but would love some more knowledgeable Enneagram opinions. What are your thoughts?
1. How do you typically react to stress or conflict? Do you become confrontational, avoidant, or try to keep the peace? - 1: avoidant, but also a bit of the other two.
2. What motivates you in life? Is it the desire for success, the need for security, the pursuit of knowledge, or something else? - 2: I desire freedom, space to be myself, and acceptance; with these things I can be my best self, and in turn fix any security or success issues if need be.
3. How do you see yourself in relation to others? Are you more independent and self-reliant, or do you tend to seek approval and validation from others? - 3: I contrast hard with this one: I'm both quite independent, have few friends and do a lot by myself (and enjoy all of these things), but also find myself reliant on external validation, reassurance and 'forgiveness' from others as I often feel they actually may dislike me or not want me/want me around anymore.
4. What is your biggest fear or insecurity? Is it being abandoned, feeling incompetent, losing control, or something else? - 4: being trapped somewhere I don't want to be, lacking the freedom or opportunity to fix the issues at hand or find a way out. In my brain, as long as my plans aren't full, and I have time and some resources, I'm free. This freedom means I'm safe to fix and improve whatever needs that in my life.
5. How do you handle emotions? Are you comfortable expressing your feelings openly, or do you tend to suppress them? - 5: I often express emotions privately, and due to my lack of energy overall, I don't 'feel' a lot of emotions often. Except for nervousness and anxiety, anger and sometimes satisfaction/happiness. I do suppress them overall if they 'get in the way', and often I don't express them to others unless I know it will help me. But when people show an interest in my emotions, I'll let them out.
6. How do you make decisions? Do you rely more on logic and reason, or do you trust your gut instincts and intuition? - 6: both, but it feels more gut instinct and intuition. My brain will battle me on the 'why's and 'how's, but I often go with the 'vibe' or feeling of something to guide me.
7. What are your core values and principles? What do you consider most important in life? - 7: my core values would be respecting others, living freely, prioritising present moment and enjoyment, and not actively taking away from the world without giving back in some way. I feel often there's a sentiment of 'everyone pays their way, no one takes without giving back' and that if you 'believe, you can achieve' in what I do and hope for.
8. How do you approach relationships? Are you more guarded and cautious, or do you tend to be open and trusting? - 8: I'm cautious to avoid upsetting, annoying or angering people. I often will do whatever they ask of me, and try to do everything right. But I also pick and choose who's worth the immense effort to do that for. If I'm not doing that, I'm almost completely disinterested in relationships with people, and may go a bit 'the big lebowski' and become very laidback, low energy and jaded.
9. What are your typical strengths and weaknesses? What patterns or tendencies do you notice in your behavior? - 9: I have weaknesses of being very paranoid, anxious and overthinking. I can also be overly self-critical and insecure. I bail from things early if I don't like them, try to avoid making promises I don't want to keep. I self-isolate a lot, to my own detriment.

2024.05.20 08:47 Ewit8791 How to add length to a top?

How to add length to a top?
Hello, I have nearly finished the "Crochet Halter Top Pattern" by Knitcroaddict. https://www.knitcroaddict.com/crochet-halter-top-pattern-us-womens-xs-xxl-free/ . I made a size medium. The only thing left is to attach the front and back panels. I pinned the sides and top together with stitch markers to try it on before attaching it, and realized it is shorter than I prefer. The pattern alternates between rows of DC and rows of 3DC into a stitch, skip 2, repeat (kinda like a granny square). So I can't just attach yarn to the bottom and go from there because then the stitches would be upside down. What's the best way to add length to this top?
Side note: I've never actually joined pieces of crochet together, and the pattern says use your preferred joining method. What joining method would be good for a project like this?
1st picture: front of top when trying on 2nd picture: back of top when trying on 3rd picture: front and back panels laid out, wrong side up

A dear friend of mine is having a baby!!

🔗Handcrafted Warm Autumn-Winter Knitting Yarn


https://preview.redd.it/3qhcix9i0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=458b98d9c955758f7abdbed679cd7eeb3e6c5f91
I recently picked up YarnArt's Pacific Chunky to try my hand at knitting some cozy scarves for the upcoming winter. I must say, I'm quite pleased with this product. The multicolor variegated pattern is stunning and its thick, wooly texture is perfect for keeping me warm on those chilly nights. Plus, despite being a blend of wool and acrylic, it doesn't shed too much, which is a major plus.
One feature that particularly stood out was how versatile this yarn is. I used it to make a sweater, a cardigan, and even a pair of mittens! And each piece turned out beautifully. The recommended needles (4.5 mm) and hooks (5 mm) worked perfectly with the yarn, providing just the right tension for even stitches.
However, one downside I did experience was that the yarn tended to split when working on tighter stitches. But this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, as I still managed to achieve a nice finished look. Overall, YarnArt Pacific Chunky is a great option for those looking to add some color and warmth to their knit projects without breaking the bank.

🔗Super Velvet Chunky Cotton Arm Knitting Yarn


https://preview.redd.it/je9fn2oi0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f75abb45ae0f2ea0fb3d50529139096c35314e7f
Aloiyue's Chunky Blanket Yarn is a thick, warm, and stylish addition to your collection. I recently started knitting again after a long hiatus, and I'm absolutely loving this leopard print yarn. It's not only great for knitting crochet pillow throws, but it's also super easy to work with due to its bulkiness.
One of the things I genuinely appreciate about this yarn is how soft and warm it feels in my hands. I've had some past experiences with Velvet yarns that lacked this softness, making them somewhat unappealing to work with. Additionally, the leopard print design adds a touch of sophisticated style that I find truly captivating.
However, one drawback I've noticed is that it tends to shed a bit while I work with it. I also find the colors to be slightly more subdued than I would like. Not a complete deal-breaker, but it's definitely something to be aware of.
All in all, Aloiyue's Chunky Blanket Yarn is a fantastic option for knitting crochet pillow throws, particularly if you're a fan of soft and warm materials. Just be prepared to deal with a little extra shedding and slightly muted colors.

🔗Teal Waves Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn


https://preview.redd.it/fhvyjpzi0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7f837134e73c777abbd6884dfea7c02c3ec9220
When I first laid hands on Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn, I was immediately drawn to its thickness and softness, which I knew would be perfect for knitting warm, cozy blankets and cardigans. The stitch definition is top-notch, giving my projects a professional look that's sure to impress. I did notice a difference in texture between some skeins, but overall, I found it to be a reliable and economical choice for my knit and crochet projects.
One feature that really stood out for me is the large ball size, making it easy to complete projects quickly without having to constantly change skeins. I also appreciated the broad range of rich colors that Bernat offers, giving me plenty of options for my designs. However, I was a bit disappointed with the limited color selection in some shades.
As for the cons, the varying texture between different skeins can be a bit annoying, and I wish the yarn didn't have such a strong chemical smell when I first opened the package. Overall, Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn offers a satisfying blend of style, functionality, and comfort, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.

🔗Arm Knitting Chunky Bulky Yarn


https://preview.redd.it/uctafwdj0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a0c64acc5d95c96fceea62ad203be5e1dfc5e66
I recently tried the "Bulky Yarn" for a DIY project, and it was quite an experience. The super chunky yarn is washable and made from roving, which adds a nice touch to the overall feel of the project.
However, the one thing that caught me off guard was the length. It only measures 45M, which is much less than I expected. This could be a problem for those looking to create larger items, so keep that in mind.
Overall, the yarn is soft and easy to work with, but the short length may be a drawback for some.

🔗James C Brett Flutterby Chunky Yarn - Bulky, 100% Supersoft Polyester, Various Colors

https://preview.redd.it/qqby46qj0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c0d6bb15278664ffa7bb48740918644bf6af455

I recently got my hands on the James C Brett Flutterby Chunky, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my knitting projects. This luxurious 100% supersoft polyester yarn comes in a range of beautiful shades, making it perfect for warm cardigans, cozy blankets, or cute baby toys.
From the moment I started knitting with this yarn, I noticed how incredibly soft and fluffy it is. It's a joy to work with, and the drape it gives to my knitted items is simply stunning. The recommended needle size (6mm) works perfectly, helping me achieve a beautiful stitch texture that stands out from other chunky yarns.
One standout feature of this yarn is its impressive yardage of approximately 175 meters per 100g ball. This means I can knit up larger projects without worrying about running out of yarn too soon. And if that's not enough, the yarn is machine washable at 30°C, making it easy to keep my creations looking fresh and clean.
However, like any product, there are some cons to consider. Some users have reported issues with yarn quality, noting that it can develop bald spots after washing. Additionally, the yarn's softness can make it a bit challenging to work with on certain needle types, such as plastic ones.
But despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience with the James C Brett Flutterby Chunky has been exceptional. Its high-quality texture, variety of colors, and reasonable price point make it a top choice for knitters and crocheters looking to create beautiful, snuggly projects.

Buyer's Guide

If you are looking to get started in knitting or crochet, or simply want to diversify your yarn collection, cheap chunky yarns can be an excellent choice. These types of yarns are generally thicker in size, which makes them easier and quicker to work with, especially for beginners. Moreover, they tend to be more affordable than thinner yarns, allowing you to make beautiful projects on a budget. In this buyer's guide, we will discuss important features to consider when selecting cheap chunky yarns as well as some general advice to ensure you get the best quality for your money.

Consider Fiber Content


https://preview.redd.it/67ecj89k0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=059df97e2bdb6b8c7c1fbedda4e176b2f1b08040
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing cheap chunky yarns is the type of fiber they are made from. Common fibers used in yarns include acrylic, cotton, wool, and blended fibers. Each type of fiber has its own unique properties, such as softness, durability, and ease of care, that can impact the final quality of your finished project.
Acrylic yarns are typically the most affordable option and are ideal for beginners due to their stain resistance and minimal pilling. Cotton yarns are great for warm weather projects, as they are highly breathable and moisture-absorbent. Wool yarns provide excellent insulation and are ideal for cold weather projects, but may require special care to prevent felting or shrinking.
Blended fibers offer a combination of properties from different fibers, such as the softness of acrylic and the warmth of wool. However, they may also be more susceptible to pilling, so it's essential to choose a high-quality blend that will stand up to wear and tear.

Check Yarn Weight

Cheap chunky yarns come in various weights, typically classified as either "bulky" or "super bulky. " These weights are determined by the number of plies or strands that make up the yarn. Bulky yarns are generally denser and thicker, while super bulky yarns are even thicker and often have a larger stitch size. In general, the thicker the yarn, the faster and easier it is to knit or crochet projects.
Be sure to choose a yarn weight that aligns with your knitting or crochet skill level and the specific pattern you will be following. Patterns designed for chunky yarns will often specify which weight to use for optimal results.

Inspect Yarn Quality

The quality of cheap chunky yarns can vary widely among different brands and price points. To ensure you are getting the best value for your money, inspect the yarn closely before purchasing. Look for any inconsistencies in thickness, uneven dye jobs, or noticeable flaws in the fibers. A high-quality yarn will have a consistent texture and uniform color throughout, making it easier to work with and resulting in a more professional-looking finished project.

https://preview.redd.it/902a9cok0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05e95b185316b61c739f559c650c967f9a5ea0c5

Consider Yarn Care

While cheap chunky yarns may be more affordable, they may not always be as durable or easy to care for as more expensive options. Be sure to check the care instructions on the yarn label to determine whether it can be machine washed or requires hand washing, as well as any special drying or ironing requirements.
Choose a yarn that aligns with your intended use and level of care you are willing to provide. For example, if you plan to create a cozy throw blanket for your couch, a stain-resistant acrylic yarn that can be easily machine washed may be a great choice. On the other hand, if you are knitting a delicate baby hat, you may want to opt for a softer, high-quality wool or cotton yarn that can be hand-washed.

Experiment with Different Brands

With so many options available on the market, it can be helpful to try out different cheap chunky yarn brands to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Some brands may offer unique texture, color, or performance features that set them apart from their competitors. Don't be afraid to experiment with different yarns and stitch patterns to find your ideal combination.
By considering factors such as fiber content, yarn weight, quality, care, and brand variety, you can make informed decisions when selecting cheap chunky yarns for your knitting or crochet projects. With careful consideration and a little experimentation, you can create beautiful, durable, and affordable projects that you will be proud to show off and wear.
Remember, this guide is meant to provide general advice and recommendations for choosing cheap chunky yarns. Always consult the specific pattern or project requirements to ensure the best possible outcome for your finished project.

2024.05.20 08:12 manturgekarruhi Population Health Management: A Comprehensive Approach to Better Health Outcomes

Hey Reddit!
I wanted to share some insights on Population Health Management (PHM), a concept that's increasingly vital in today's healthcare landscape. Whether you're in the industry or simply a health-conscious individual, understanding PHM can provide valuable context for current trends and future developments in healthcare.

What is Population Health Management?

Population Health Management refers to the collection and analysis of health data from a specific population to improve the health outcomes of that group. It's about identifying patterns, managing chronic diseases, and implementing preventive measures. The goal is to provide better care at a lower cost by targeting health interventions more effectively.

Why is PHM Important?

  1. Improved Health Outcomes: By focusing on the health of entire populations, PHM aims to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, manage existing conditions more effectively, and improve overall health and well-being.
  2. Cost Efficiency: PHM helps in reducing healthcare costs by preventing diseases through early intervention and efficient management of chronic conditions, thereby reducing the need for expensive treatments and hospitalizations.
  3. Data-Driven Decisions: Leveraging big data and advanced analytics allows healthcare providers to make informed decisions, tailor interventions to specific populations, and measure the effectiveness of these interventions.
  4. Patient-Centered Care: PHM emphasizes a holistic approach to patient care, considering not just medical history but also social, economic, and behavioral factors that affect health.

Key Components of PHM

  1. Data Collection and Analysis: Gathering health data from electronic health records (EHRs), patient surveys, and other sources to identify trends and risk factors within a population.
  2. Risk Stratification: Classifying the population based on health risks to prioritize care for those who need it most.
  3. Care Coordination: Ensuring that all members of the healthcare team are working together efficiently, with seamless communication and shared goals.
  4. Patient Engagement: Encouraging patients to take an active role in their health through education, support, and resources tailored to their needs.
  5. Performance Measurement: Continuously evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and strategies to improve and adapt them over time.

Challenges and Future Directions

While PHM offers numerous benefits, it also faces challenges such as data privacy concerns, integration of disparate data sources, and ensuring equitable access to care. However, with advancements in technology and growing emphasis on value-based care, PHM is poised to become a cornerstone of modern healthcare.

How You Can Be Involved

  1. Stay Informed: Keep up with the latest trends and research in PHM.
  2. Advocate for Data Privacy: Support policies and practices that protect patient data.
  3. Engage in Your Health: Utilize resources provided by healthcare providers to manage your health proactively.
  4. Community Involvement: Participate in local health initiatives and support efforts aimed at improving public health.
PHM is not just a healthcare strategy; it's a movement towards a healthier future for everyone. By understanding and supporting PHM, we can contribute to a system that prioritizes preventive care, efficient management of chronic diseases, and overall better health outcomes.
Feel free to share your thoughts or ask questions about Population Health Management. Let's discuss how we can all play a part in this transformative approach to healthcare!

Snipers have become widely known for their astonishing ability to complete tasks, including using powerful weapons or modern equipment to operate in many different terrains. Thus, this article will introduce Sniper 3D Assassin, a perfect choice to explore the work and process of becoming a professional sniper. It also comes with many surprises to make the gameplay more exciting and engaging, even using a high-quality 3D graphics engine to have a realistic and thrilling experience when assassinating essential targets.

INTRIGUING STATIONARY SNIPER GAMEPLAY

When players come to Sniper 3D Assassin, they will have access to a massive mission system, including mini-games or extra activities to explore when they become a sniper. However, every process is applied with a stationary gameplay style, and players will be placed in ideal locations to complete missions perfectly. Despite that, the game has a perfect control mechanism, and players will be given a few special skills to destroy targets and even meet a few particular challenges. While assassinating important targets, players also have to take advantage of environmental factors to hide corpses, assassinate targets silently, even create stylish death patterns to earn more points.

AUTHENTIC AND WELL-OPTIMIZED 3D GRAPHICS

Besides realistic and straightforward gameplay, the game’s graphics use a perfect engine and absolute optimization to make every device operate smoothly. Also, its environments developed with detailed physics effects, allowing players to become creative to eliminate targets with environmental elements and more. Many weather factors can also affect the player’s assassination performance, so each mission has detailed instructions and recommended equipment. The influence of graphics is huge on gameplay, including stimulating the player’s experience and feeling to new heights for the stationary gameplay genre.

ASSASSINATE VARIOUS HIGH-VALUE TARGETS

The objective in each mission is simple; that is, the player needs to assassinate high-value targets or complete all objectives in some special mission. Sniper 3D Assassin will also introduce many new types of maps or situations to test the player’s processing and analysis ability before pulling the trigger. Besides, the player’s score also determines the quality of the reward, so they can optimize each shot, thereby achieving the absolute score before destroying the targets. However, some targets can become invisible from the screen, so some special skills or equipment can help them make impossible shots. The variety of goals in the game’s system is the most outstanding feature, as it constantly creates a lot of motivation or gives them many discoveries in the gameplay.

UNLOCK AND UPGRADE YOUR PRECIOUS RIFLES

Since the player’s mission is to assassinate from a great distance, their main weapon will be sniper rifles with impressive design and performance. They are all based on real-world weapons, and the game will make them more impressive when continuously leveled up or used in many missions. Above all, they all have unique abilities, suitable for use in many special situations or allowing players to take advantage of all skills to create artistic deaths for enemies. In addition, the weapon’s upgrade system is simple. Still, it has depth, and at the same time, allows players to customize the appearance so that they have the most relaxing and comfortable feeling when using their favorite weapon.

UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND EVENTS FOR GENEROUS PRIZES

Sniper 3D Assassin is an online game, so it will have many events or special challenges along with generous rewards to help players progress further in the gameplay. Moreover, the sub-modes will make the gameplay more vibrant, as players will have many other things to do instead of waiting or researching artistic ways to kill people. Of course, their rewards are generous, including pieces of equipment or weapons to craft or upgrade all the resources they own.

COMPETE WITH FRIENDS AND WORLDWIDE

The game will integrate a score and leaderboard system, where players find themselves among other professional snipers. Also, they can invite friends and challenge them to get the highest score or register themselves on the international scoreboard for many impressive rewards that only the winners have. Not stopping there, but every achievement will unlock and give players more content to enjoy the game to the fullest.
The realism and thrilling of Sniper 3D Assassin have always been a favorite for a long time, as it always gives players impressive equipment or weapons, along with complex and attractive missions. Moreover, it also creates the opportunity for everyone to compete against each other and stimulates their gameplay experience thanks to the realistic and vivid 3D graphics quality.

  • Create the most effective weaponry; gain new weapons and exciting upgrades for ammunition and grip, as well as unique powers.
  • Graphics in 3D that are really realistic

2024.05.20 08:04 submissivekitty2828 PSA: We have far more concrete dates than people let on.

At one point I was thinking about the timeline of FNaF, and decided to write out every concrete date we have. The dates we know for certain are:
And doing this made me realize something. With the number of dates we have, a lot of people are just guessing instead of working around them. Most notably, the reuse of certain weekdays/months can help us understand dates that aren't confirmed. For example:
Now that we've covered every possible point from the Clickteam games, let's take this information and form a timeline. Please note that not all of the specifics will be agreed upon, but I believe the general dates are correct.
And that's it. This post took me all day writing out and double-checking to make sure I didn't get anything incorrect, but I'm sure there are a few typos or inconsistencies and that there are pieces of information I've missed. After all, no one knows all the answers about FNaF except Scott himself, and even Scott makes mistakes. But I feel confident in this and hope that it leaves some sort of impact.

2024.05.20 07:14 Cute-Corgi3483 What will happen if I cut half of these “frills” on the cross-grain?

What will happen if I cut half of these “frills” on the cross-grain?
I’d like to make the Frankie Skirt (free pattern from Made Label) out of 3 yards of silk I thrifted. The pattern calls for 3.25 yards or so — so I’m trying to squeeze. This is my first time using silk, I’m not even sure what kind. It has a crepey finish.
The skirt has these frills that are made from semi-circles — this is what is driving the yardage because only one fits in the width of the fabric. Here are my two choices to fit and I need advice on which to do:
  1. Cut three on the grain and two on the cross-grain. Will this be noticeable in the frills? I could see together as every other one to maybe blend them…
  2. Reduce the semi-circle by about 2in in diameter — this will shorten the overall skirt, but then I can fit two rows in the width of the fabric. This is the safer option if the cross-grain will be wonky.
Please advise!

Do Vehicle Trackers Reduce Insurance Premiums for Teenage Drivers?

Ensuring Safe Teen Driving: Harnessing Technology To Manage Risk and Lower Insurance Costs

The Real Cost of Adding a Teen to Your Car Insurance

Let's tackle the elephant in the room – insurance cost for teen drivers. It's no secret that it's significantly more expensive. Estimates range widely, but you can certainly expect a substantial increase. Remember, adding your teen to your policy is cheaper than a separate one. Can you believe that separate policies can cost upwards of $2,000?
To illustrate, adding a 16-year-old girl to your policy could cost between $1,165 and $3,036 annually. However, separate policies can range from $2,453 to a whopping $6,479! Does your teen happen to be a boy? Well, that would cost even more due to their higher likelihood of risky driving behavior. But remember, adding them to your policy still saves you money in the long run.

Top 5 Teen Driving Monitoring Apps

Many car insurers offer discounts for safe driving. For this, you need a teen GPS tracker, which monitors your teen's driving habits. These devices check daily mileage, the time of driving, sudden acceleration or braking, and more. The better the driving, the better your rates. But how about trying out some driving monitoring apps? Here are the top 5 teen driving monitoring apps according to parents:

TrueMotion Family Safe Driving

TrueMotion offers a comprehensive and user-friendly monitoring experience, and the best part is that it's free. It includes the feature of geofencing, allowing you to set boundaries for your teen's driving behavior. The app also allows for speed restrictions and curfews, and if any of these limits are crossed, you'll get immediate notifications. The app tracks your teen's driving habits and grades them on a scale of 100 points, so your teen can see their driving improvement over time. The app requires GPS capability to be enabled on your teen's phone, and it's available for both Android and iOS platforms.

DriveSmart

Another free app, DriveSmart offers a more personalized experience compared to TrueMotion. It's designed more for the teen than the parents, offering the teen opportunities to improve their scores in lagging categories, such as braking. However, it's up to the teen to decide when to start the app. Some notable features include a reminder for the driver to buckle their seatbelt and monthly driving challenges. It's available for Android and iOS phones.

Drivesafe.ly Pro

This app is one of the pricier options (ranging from $4 per month to $35 per year), but it comes with a unique feature: hands-free messaging capabilities. The app automatically puts the phone in hands-free mode when the vehicle is in motion. It reads text messages and emails in real-time and allows the driver to respond accordingly. However, it may take some time to get used to the app, and some research suggests that hands-free mobile device use can still be distracting for drivers. The app is currently available only for Android phones.

Toyota Safe & Sound

Although created by Toyota, this app isn't restricted to Toyota vehicles. It puts the phone in do not disturb mode when the car is moving, similar to Drivesafe.ly Pro's app. If the teen driver exhibits poor behaviors such as speeding or texting, the app automatically plays a predetermined playlist as a form of deterrent.

AT&T DriveMode

AT&T's app is not limited to AT&T customers. It turns on safety features when the car is moving at 15 MPH or faster, which includes muting text alerts and replying to messages with a standard response. If the app is turned off, parents will receive a notification. The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms.

Encouraging Facts About Teenage Drivers

Finally, let’s remember that not all of the changes that come with adding a teen driver to your family are bad. Yes, your car insurance prices will go up; that happens anytime you add additional drivers to a plan, and so it only makes sense that policies would especially get more expensive when you are adding a driver from what is generally considered the riskiest driver pool, drivers between the ages of 16 and 19. Teen drivers are, however, generally safer now than they have been in previous years, with fewer fatalities and accidents reported each year as a general trend.
Additionally, check out the following 10 positive facts about teenage driving: https://www.trackingsystemdirect.com/positive-facts-about-teenage-driving/

Top 10 Positive Facts About Teenage Driving

  1. Seat belt use among teen drivers has been increasing for decades, from only 74 percent 15 years ago to almost 95 percent today.
  2. Another encouraging trend: Whereas 15 years ago nearly 40 percent of teenagers surveyed said they had either ridden with someone who had been drinking or knew of peers who had driven after drinking, that number is much closer to 20 percent now.
  3. Younger drivers have faster reflexes. While this sometimes lends itself to riskier driver behavior, this also means that teen drivers can also make for better drivers, as they may be more quickly able to respond to negative driver behavior by other drivers, or may be better equipped to avoid potential accidents than older drivers.
  4. Similarly, younger drivers are better able to respond to changing traffic laws or traffic patterns. Roundabouts, for instance, are far more common now than they were ten or twenty years ago; teen drivers are far less likely to have trouble with roundabouts than older drivers.
  5. Teen drivers also have better memories than older drivers, meaning they are less likely to forget street names or directions. This can be especially important for navigating complex directions, for instance.
  6. Younger drivers pay more for insurance because of their risk profile, but that also means they help drive down car insurance costs for everyone else.
  7. That also means that if you are in an accident and the other vehicle is driven by a teen driver, it is far more likely that the car insurance company will cover the cost of damages, as teen drivers are often required to have better insurance because of their risk profile.
  8. Learning how to drive can also help teens develop a sense of independence and autonomy that is important, especially as they prepare to go off to college or otherwise begin living their lives as autonomous people and no longer children under their parents’ supervision. (Yes, this can be hard for parents to hear...but it’s also part of watching their children grow up.)
  9. Having a teen driver in the family can also sometimes help free up parents for other tasks. Being able to ask a teen driver to run an errand or take their younger brother or sister to school activity or sports practice, for instance, can be a huge help for busy families.
  10. Giving your teen driver a chance to drive can also help give you a bonding experience, as you can commiserate over just how many bad drivers there are out there!
Regardless of what choices you make—for yourself, your teen driver, and your car insurance options—know there is lots of good information out there. GPS trackers might be an answer for some families, just as they might not be for other families. Ultimately, it is up to you to determine what is the best course of action for you and your car insurance needs. Know, though, that being educated about your options can help you negotiate and reduce car insurance prices for you and your teen driver!

Using Car GPS To Track Teenagers

Live GPS tracking units can be installed permanently or simply hidden on a vehicle operated by a teen which will then give parents the ability to oversee the driving activity of that teen at any time. Car tracking units will document the locations a teen visits, speeds they drive and more. Parents can even compare the driving data with text message records to determine if a teen is texting while behind the wheel. By comparing text and driving records Montana parents can at least eliminate one of the high-risk driving behaviors associated with teenage driving. However, the live tracking data also provides parents a simple way to locate their teen if the teen runs out of gas, becomes lost or simply needs some form of emergency assistance.
Clearly, the issue of safety among teenage motorists in Montana is a serious one that needs to be addressed frequently and intelligently. The old way was not working and if car tracking units are going to help parents in Montana then that should be something discussed in detail. No state wants to have the distinction of being the most dangerous state for teenage motorists and no parent wants to have their child harmed in a vehicle-related accident. Things need to change in Montana.

Best Auto Insurance For Teen Driver

When a teen finally passes their written and driver's examinations at the DMV a whole new world of opportunity is opened up. Solo car rides or drives with friends to burger joints, movie theaters and almost any location are now only a set of car keys away. However, with that freedom can come a substantial cost in the form of car payments and auto insurance. In fact, one study conducted by NerdWallet showed that family car insurance goes up roughly $1500 per year when a teen gets added to the auto insurance plan! Ouch! So what is the best way to keep car insurance for newly licensed teen drivers as low as possible so parents don't go broke trying to keep up with rising auto insurance rates?
Auto insurance providers are data-driven businesses so they are fully aware that teen drivers are for more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors such as speeding. They also understand teen drivers can easily succumb to peer pressure and by doing so make unwise driving decisions. Lastly, car insurers know teens can be careless which can result in potential auto-theft. However, one piece of technology called the GPS car tracker can help reduce many of these liabilities. For example, when a parent equips a vehicle tracker on a teen's car, that parent will then have the ability to monitor everywhere that teen is going and how fast they are driving. What's even better is that the real-time GPS units can also send out alerts to notify parents if the vehicle was stolen or if a teenager is driving their car too fast! Many auto insurance companies recognize the benefits associated with GPS vehicle monitoring and will provide discounts on car insurance packages for this. However, GPS auto tracking technology is more than just a tool to reduce car insurance rates for teens because the devices can literally save lives.
The best car GPS tracking devices will cost parents around $99.00-$199.00 per device.

Grades Matter

Car insurance companies study the facts and they know firsthand that teens that perform well in the classroom are statistically more likely to perform well on the road. In fact, many insurance providers will offer anywhere from a 10-15% discount on auto insurance for teens who maintain a "B" average or better in the classroom. Therefore, parents that keep their kids focused on the schoolbooks will also keep more money in their pockets.

Professional Driving Courses

In every facet of life the one constant is that experience matters. Therefore, teens who go the extra mile by enrolling in various driving programs and professional driving courses are often rewarded by auto insurers with discounted rates.

Shop, Compare And Combine Insurance Plans

Shopping around and comparing quotes is always good advice, but combining insurance plans can also help reduce rates. Family plans where the entire household is on one coverage policy are shown to save families sometimes as much as $3,000 annually! So combine those insurance plans and shop around to find the most cost-effective option!
Auto insurance is not only the law it's also extremely beneficial, especially when/if bad things occur. However, that does not mean that auto insurance for teen drivers should break the bank. Parents can save some cash on their teen auto insurance by investing in GPS tracking systems, inspiring their kids to do better at school, enroll them in professional driving classes. Of course, don't forget to shop, compare and combine auto insurers. Stay safe while driving and always try and save some cash!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Some Strategies To Lower Teen Car Insurance?

Considering the cost, it's natural to want to lower your insurance expenses. Here are some tips:
  • Compare rates: Shopping around and comparing prices can yield better deals.
  • Look for discounts: Insurers often have discount programs. Did you know that good grades can lead to lower insurance costs?
  • Older cars: Insuring your teen on an older car could save you some cash.
  • Add your teen to your policy: As we've already established, this is a significant money-saver.
  • Consider usage-based insurance: This could reward your teen's good driving habits.

What Is The Most Dangerous State For Teen Driving?

You might think populous states pose the most risk for teen drivers. However, states like New York and California aren't even in the top half for unsafe teen driving. Surprisingly, Montana holds the dubious honor of being the most dangerous state for teen drivers. This fact is sparking a search among Montana parents for new safety measures for their young drivers.
Carinsurance.com conducted a survey focusing on multiple factors. These included teen driver deaths per 100k population, texting behaviors, alcohol use, and insurance costs. It also covered other relevant details. Montana scored alarmingly high on several of these high-risk aspects. It ranks third for teens who text while driving and tops the list for teen drunk driving with 13%. This report, although troubling for Montana parents, is vital for developing better safety measures.
Faced with these findings, many Montana parents are taking action. They're turning to car tracking technology, allowing them to monitor their teens' driving habits directly.

https://preview.redd.it/jrmw75brli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5160d217ea13119cf90d1c61344d551e857e79a
Last week, I decided to try out Kyocera's ceramic knife set for a weekend of cooking and entertaining. I was immediately drawn to the sleek and elegant design of the dual ABS handles in black. The contrast against the gleaming ceramic blades made this set stand out in my utensil drawer. As I pulled them out for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. How would these knives perform compared to my trusty stainless steel counterparts?
The next step was putting these knives through their paces. I used the Santoku knife to slice through fresh fruits and vegetables, and the smaller paring knife proved invaluable when it came to peeling and seeding the berries and cucumbers. I was thrilled to discover that their razor-sharp edge made chopping and mincing effortless, and it held up remarkably well when I tested it on harder produce.
One of the most notable features of these knives is their exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In fact, I found myself reaching for these ceramic knives more often than my usual set over the weekend. Their lightweight design also made tasks like stirring soups and cutting meats a lot easier on my hands.
However, there was a minor downside that I encountered during the weekend. While these knives are remarkably sturdy, I did manage to chip one of the blades accidently when I used the Santoku for deboning a whole chicken. While this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, I realized that it could be a concern for users who might be more sensitive to such issues in their kitchenware.
Overall, this Kyocera ceramic knife set has become an essential component of my cooking routine. Though some may view the brand's design as somewhat understated, the practicality and exceptional sharpness more than compensate. If you're looking to elevate your culinary experiences, I can't recommend these knives enough. Just remember, they're sharper than they look!

One downside, however, is that this knife, while lovely, is not suitable for all cutting tasks, such as frozen foods or hard cheeses, and requires careful handling when cleaning or storing. Overall, it's a colorful, functional addition to any kitchen.

🔗Ergonomic Ceramic Folding Knife for Effortless Cutting


https://preview.redd.it/ubzuu33sli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d68c7daedcf6cad0e8aae9f4ee125ebf5d939c49

Buyer's Guide

A ceramic folding knife is a versatile and practical tool for any outdoor enthusiast or kitchen chef. These knives offer a combination of durability, sharpness, and portability that makes them a great addition to your collection. In this buyer's guide, we will discuss the essential features to consider when purchasing a ceramic folding knife and provide general advice to help you make an informed decision.

Material


https://preview.redd.it/x438flrvli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=777be7dc208d0b0fde4c939b6d5544b49ccd13c1
Ceramic is a popular material for folding knives due to its hardness, sharpness, and resistance to corrosion. Look for a ceramic blade that is made from high-quality zirconium oxide, which is known for its durability and edge retention. The handle can be made of various materials like stainless steel, G10, or titanium-carbon, so choose one that is comfortable to hold and offers a good grip.

Blade Shape and Size

Ceramic folding knives come in various blade shapes and sizes, such as drop-point, clip-point, spear-point, and more. Choose a shape that suits your purposes, whether it's for slicing, piercing, or chopping. The size of the blade also matters; larger blades are better for heavy-duty tasks, while smaller ones are more suitable for everyday use and portability.

Locking Mechanism

A secure locking mechanism is crucial for the safety and functionality of a folding knife. Look for a knife with a reliable locking system, such as liner locks, frame locks, or locking bolts. Ensure the locking mechanism is easy to use, yet strong enough to prevent the blade from accidentally opening or closing while in use.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your ceramic folding knife. Regularly clean the blade and handle, and apply a blade protector to prevent oxidation. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the ceramic and handles. Store your knife in a protective sheath or case to keep it safe when not in use.

Additional Features

Consider additional features that can enhance your overall experience with a ceramic folding knife. Some options include blade designs with an serrated or partially serrated edge for greater versatility, a pocket clip for easy carrying, or a built-in belt loop for added convenience. Research various models to find a knife that best suits your specific needs and preferences.

Durability and Warranty


https://preview.redd.it/kic2j2mwli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e209900bb586d8a8ab3b26201d1a1774e38af0f3
Durability is a vital factor when selecting a ceramic folding knife. Look for a knife with a track record of long-lasting performance and solid construction. A reputable brand typically offers a warranty to ensure customer satisfaction, so consider a brand's warranty terms and customer support before making your purchase.

Budget

Determine your budget before shopping for a ceramic folding knife. High-quality knives can be quite expensive, but they may offer better value in the long run with their durability and performance.

Top 10 Best Bathroom Sinks in 2023
Navigating the myriad options for bathroom sinks and finding the best bathroom vanities with ample storage space can be an intricate endeavor. We are committed to simplifying this process for you. Join us as we explore the top 10 bathroom sinks of 2023, shedding light on their distinguishing features, exceptional advantages, and market-leading attributes. Together, let’s identify the sink that flawlessly marries elegance and utility for your living environment.

What is the Best Bathroom Sink?

The ideal bathroom sink is a complex interplay of personal taste, spatial limitations, and design objectives. However, there are universally recognized qualities that contribute to a superior bathroom sink.

Ease of Maintenance

Effective household management necessitates reducing the time allocated for bathroom sink maintenance. Premium sinks are designed for low maintenance, featuring stain-resistant properties and ease of cleaning. Materials like solid surfaces are advantageous due to their smooth surfaces that effectively repel common bathroom stains.

Diversity in Sizes and Styles

A one-size-fits-all approach is impractical when it comes to bathroom sinks. Your choice will be influenced by spatial considerations and aesthetic preferences. Below are some standard sink dimensions:

Sink Type Size (in inches)
Drop-in Sinks 20-24
Undermount Sinks 19-22
Above-counter Sinks 15-20
Cabinet Sinks 24-48
Freestanding Sinks 18-30
Wall-hung Sinks 20-24

Drop-in Sinks

Commonly known as top-mounted sinks, drop-in sinks are favored for their straightforward installation process. These sinks are inserted into a pre-cut hole in the countertop, with the rim sitting above it. This configuration offers a contemporary look and serves as a practical solution for settings that prioritize both aesthetics and utility.

Undermount Sinks

Undermount sinks are affixed beneath the countertop, delivering a streamlined and modern appearance. Preferred for minimalist settings, the lack of a rim simplifies cleaning and eliminates the possibility of debris accumulation.

Above-counter Sinks

Also referred to as vessel sinks, above-counter sinks are positioned entirely atop the countertop, serving as a striking design element. Available in a variety of materials like solid surface, ceramic, or copper, these sinks offer businesses an opportunity to make a visual impact.

Cabinet Sinks

Combining storage and sink into a unified structure, cabinet sinks are perfect for those requiring additional storage for toiletries and other essentials. These sinks often come with soft-close drawers and are crafted from diverse materials such as hardwood, engineered wood, teak, and plywood, delivering both functionality and style.

Freestanding Sinks

Freestanding sinks, including freestanding vanities, stand independently, not requiring a countertop or vanity for support. These sinks are particularly well-suited for spacious environments aiming for a refined aesthetic. Made from high-quality materials like solid surface or porcelain, are both durable and low-maintenance. Their design flexibility allows them to serve as eye-catching focal points when complemented with stylish faucets.

Wall-hung Sinks

Wall-hung sinks, sometimes referred to as wall-mounted sinks, are designed to maximize floor space in compact bathrooms or powder rooms. They are directly mounted to the wall, often featuring built-in faucet holes and a small ledge for storing toiletries. Crafted from robust materials like solid surface or stainless steel, wall-mount sinks ensure lasting performance.

Multifunction Design

The quintessential bathroom sink should surpass mere washing capabilities. It should epitomize a fusion of convenience and advanced utility, taking into consideration the available space in the bathroom. Features such as integrated storage solutions and adaptable faucet hole configurations are essential to cater to a broad spectrum of plumbing prerequisites. The strategic inclusion of overflow drains is indispensable to counteract potential water spillage. During the selection phase, it’s paramount to juxtapose these functional nuances with sophisticated aesthetics. Facets like soft-close drawers and innovative shelving solutions augment the sink’s multifaceted utility. It’s also vital to appraise the spatial dynamics of the bathroom to ensure an impeccable integration.

Superior Materials

The material pedigree of a bathroom sink is instrumental in ascertaining its enduring appeal and resilience. Options span from the perennial sophistication of porcelain to the stalwart resilience of stainless steel and copper. It becomes imperative to select a sink that is impervious to stains, adept at handling thermal variances from hot water, and exhibits unwavering durability over extended periods. Whether one’s inclination is towards a cutting-edge solid surface sink or a vintage wooden basin, the chosen piece should resonate with both utilitarian needs and refined aesthetic inclinations. Such a choice guarantees a harmonious amalgamation with the overarching bathroom decor while ensuring a lot of storage for quintessential items at an affordable price point.

Solid Surface Bathroom Sinks

Dive into the realm of solid surface bathroom sinks, a pinnacle of modern bathroom design. These sinks are meticulously crafted from a unique blend of high-grade resins and aluminum hydroxide powder. This combination results in a pristine, pore-free surface that marries aesthetic charm with functional utility. Notably, the use of premium isophthalic resin ensures the sink remains resistant to yellowing over its lifespan.

Key Features of Stainless Steel Bathroom Sinks

  • Lightweight: Much like their fiberglass counterparts, stainless steel sinks are relatively light, making them easy to install.

Copper Bathroom Sinks

Copper bathroom sinks are a unique and intriguing choice for businesses looking to blend aesthetic charm with functional benefits. Known for their natural antibacterial properties, these sinks offer a distinct advantage in terms of hygiene. Crafted usually from a single sheet of copper and often hand-hammered, each sink is a unique piece of functional art. Over time, copper develops a patina, a natural layer that not only protects the material but also enhances its aesthetic appeal. This evolving characteristic makes copper sinks a living, changing element in your bathroom design.

Key Features of Copper Bathroom Sinks

  • Antibacterial Properties: Copper sinks are pretty amazing for a few reasons. First, they have natural germ-fighting powers.

2024.05.20 06:45 higurashi0793 ENFJ Guide from a Jungian Perspective

Hello! I've seen that a lot of people are confused about ENFJs and how exactly we work, and considering that there are many websites with different —even contradictory— concepts and definitions of ENFJ, I wanted to provide one closer to what Carl Jung first described in Psychological Types in 1921. I hope this will help people gain a wider perspective of our type, and clear up some associated misconceptions.
But, before we begin, there are some concepts and questions that need to be addressed first:
Are websites like 16 Personalities reliable? What about tests?
📣 No, they aren't. 16 Personalities has wildly different concepts about types, and most importantly: while it's not outright stated, their personality model isn't based on jungian functions or the types Myers-Briggs described in Gifts Differing in 1980. Their test and type description is based on the Big Five personality model, which is something else on its own. You can check this in more detail on their FAQ page. If you used 16p to discover your type, there's a high chance it may not be the same type as what Jung or Myers-Briggs describe in their respective books. Other websites and tests may also handle different concepts, so take their results with a grain of salt.
If tests and websites are unreliable, how can I be sure of my type?
📣 By reading! I'm afraid that there isn't a quick shortcut to instantly know yourself and what type best fits you. Knowing your type is a journey in itself, full of self-reflection and doubt. It's hard, but very rewarding. However, if you are doing this just for fun, feel free to take any popular tests floating around.
I am friendly and outgoing, but sometimes I need space. Am I INFJ or ENFJ?
📣 Social extraversion/introversion and cognitive extraversion/introversion are two different things. Jung managed his concepts and descriptions of different psychological phenomena and gave them different meanings from what we're familiar with. I know, it's confusing. But I'll do my best to clear up what he actually meant later on, so don't worry!
Where are you getting all this information?
📣 Psychological Types, by Carl Jung. I also have Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type by Isabel Briggs Myers with Peter B. Myer, however, I am not fond of Myers-Briggs' interpretation of Jung's writings. In my opinion, it's an oversimplified version of types and functions, and she displayed an obvious intuitive bias in her book. Another book that's popular is Lectures on Jung's Typology by Marie-Louise von Franz, who also worked together with Jung to describe types and functions. However, be warned: by her own admission, she dislikes Fe-dom types and her description of ExFJ is rather insulting, so expect some bias as well.
Before we begin talking about what is ENFJ, we have to understand Jung's word salad and what he meant with all these concepts and descriptions. It takes a lot of patience and effort to understand Psychological Types, because as you may know (or not!), psychology is a relatively new science, and many of its roots come from philosophy, anthropology, and even religion. Jung refers to a lot of other authors, philosophers, and other literary figures to describe what he believed were "personality types".
What was the goal with all this? Well, Carl Jung was a Swiss psychoanalyst, and by associating certain patterns of behavior with different mental illnesses, he aimed to make their diagnosis easier for other psychiatrists. So, understandably, Psychological Types is full of technical language that may be hard to understand for anyone who isn't already familiar with the field of psychology. This is why a lot of other websites and other authors, while relying on Jung to describe types, tend to water down concepts and inevitably miss some important context that can't be properly explained until you take the effort to read the entire thing. That's why we have like 10 different descriptions of the same type or functions floating around.
Jung associated Fe-types like ENFJ or ESFJ with hysteria. Of course, this was back in the 19th century, and the target of this diagnosis was almost always women. Thankfully, it's no longer an official mental illness.
⚠️ An important consideration: most of the original texts that laid the foundation for MBTI to exist are from the early 19th century. Expect a lot of sexism and traditional gender roles.
"It may seem superfluous to the reader if I add a special chapter on definitions of terms to the text of my study. However, I have had ample experience of the fact that it is precisely in psychological works that one cannot be careful enough with terms and expressions, since it is precisely in the field of psychology, as nowhere else, that the greatest variations of terms occur, which often give rise to the most stubborn misunderstandings." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 476).
I will not be listing every single concept, because it'd take the entirety of this post and even more to explain what everything means. I'll list the most common ones that show up when describing types.
🫂 Extravertion and Intravertion:
"If we look at the course of a human life, we see how the destinies of one person are more conditioned by the objects of his interests, while the destinies of another are more conditioned by his own inner being, by his subject. As we all deviate somewhat more to one side or the other, we are naturally inclined to understand everything in terms of our own type." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 4)
As I said before, extraversion and introversion have different meanings in this area, so when we talk about an extraverted type, we mean to say that it's a type whose dominant function is an extraverted one. To understand better what is an extraverted function, we need to have two vital concepts in mind: subject and object.
🌎 The object, in this concept, is anything that exists outside your mind: it may be the world, it may be people, it may be experiences, it may be sensations, anything that is not inherently part of you. It may be what's happening in your environment, or the environment in itself. It's the external, that which exists without needing any additional interpretation or guessing.
👤 The subject is you. Your mind, your feelings, your values, your logic, your impressions, your subjective interpretation of ideas or people or what's happening around you. Anything that is purely personal, be it your inner understanding of how things fit together, your interpretation of a painting, your like or dislike of a song, etc. Your subjective experiences or thoughts, that's the subject.
In a way, it's you, the subject vs. the world, the object. Of course, there's much more to this, but this is the easiest way I can explain it. You'll see these two concepts popping around because they're the very foundation of functions.
"But every human being possesses both mechanisms, extraversion and introversion, and only the relative predominance of one or the other determines the type." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 5).
Extraversion and Introversion, as I was saying before, are defined by what's your disposition towards the external world vs. the inner self. If your decisions are mostly influenced by what's happening outside your mind, then we are talking about an extrovert. If your decisions are influenced by your own inner world, regardless of what's happening outside of it, then we talk about an introvert.
"If the orientation towards the object and the objectively given prevails in such a way that the most frequent and most important decisions and actions are not conditioned by subjective views but by objective conditions, we speak of an extraverted attitude. If this is habitual, we speak of an extraverted type. If someone thinks, feels and acts, in a word, lives in a way that directly corresponds to objective circumstances and their requirements, in both a good and a bad sense, then they are extraverted. He lives in such a way that it is obvious that the object as a determining factor plays a greater role in his consciousness than his subjective view. Certainly he has subjective views, but their determining power is less than that of external objective conditions." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (pp. 384-385).
It's important to know that Jung initially described only four functions: Feeling, Thinking, Intuition, and Sensing. These functions would be either extraverted or introverted depending on how they relate to the external, objective world vs. the inner, subjective world. For example, Extraverted Feeling (Fe) is an extraverted feeling function because it favors the external feeling environment over more personal, subjective feelings that only belong to the subject.
In contrast, the introvert prefers to make decisions based on their inner self, on their personal views and convictions, regardless of what's happening around them. Someone whose function is introverted will not value the outside world a lot, and feels like is a threat to them:
"The introvert has an abstract attitude towards the object; basically, he is always anxious to withdraw his libido from the object, as if he had to prevent the object from overpowering him." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 380).
Now that we have some basic concepts cleared out, I hope understanding the Extraverted Feeling type is a bit easier. I want to start by how Jung described Fe:
"Feeling in the extraverted attitude is oriented towards the objectively given, i.e. the object is the indispensable determinant of the way of feeling. It is in accordance with objective values. Whoever knows feeling only as a subjective fact will not readily understand the nature of extraverted feeling, because extraverted feeling has freed itself as far as possible from the subjective factor and has instead subjected itself entirely to the influence of the object." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 411).
❗️We have to understand here that feelings are not emotions. Under this context, feeling is what we either accept or reject, what we value or not, how do we feel about something. An emotion, in this context, is something that causes a bodily response: if you feel angry, your heartbeat increases, your arms shake, and your face turns red. If you feel sad, you'll start crying and shaking. If you feel happy, your heartbeat increases and you smile. In contrast, just liking or disliking something may or may not make you react in any way. For example, let's say that you have an intense dislike of a celebrity. You don't start shaking and crying just because you dislike that celebrity. But what if you're a fan of a certain band? If you listen to one of their songs, you may start feeling happy. In both of these cases, we have two concepts floating around: a "feeling" (disliking a celebrity or liking a band) and an "emotion" that may be a reaction to that feeling (feeling happy when listening to your favorite band).
Feeling types usually have this misconception going around that we're emotional wrecks and can't think logically. This misunderstanding comes from the confusion that Feeling means being emotional. And while a feeling can give rise to an emotion, it's not emotion in itself, these are two different things. To put it simply: Feelings are values, and emotions are reactions to those values.
Now, to continue on how Jung described Fe, he gave a great example of how this type of Feeling is influenced by the outside world:
"I can feel compelled to use the predicate "beautiful" or "good", not because I find the object "beautiful" or "good" out of subjective feeling, but because it is appropriate to call it "beautiful" or "good"; and appropriate insofar as a judgment to the contrary would somehow disturb the general emotional situation. Such an appropriate emotional judgment is by no means a simulation or even a lie, but an act of fitting in. Thus, for example, a painting may be called "beautiful" because a painting hung in a salon and signed with a well-known name is generally assumed to be "beautiful", or because the predicate "ugly" could offend the family of the happy owner, or because the intention on the part of the visitor is to create a pleasant emotional atmosphere, for which it is necessary that everything is felt to be pleasant. Such feelings are directed according to objective determinants. As such, they are genuine and represent the entire visible feeling function." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (pp. 411-412).
A common misunderstanding surrounding Fe, and by extension Fe types, is that Fe is by nature insincere and fake, and that we're double-faced and superficial. But I think of it differently: if your friend got a bad haircut and they look terrible, is it dishonest to say that it isn't that bad if it comes from an honest intention of not wanting to hurt their feelings over something they can't change? Do you always need to tell people what you think, regardless of how it may affect them? I think honesty without kindness is just cruelty.
But, moving on!
"The evaluations made through the act of feeling correspond either directly to objective values or at least to certain traditional and generally accepted standards of value. It is largely due to this kind of feeling that so many people go to the theater or to a concert or to church with properly measured positive feelings. It is also to thank for the fashions, and what is far more valuable, the positive and widespread support of social, philanthropic and other cultural endeavors. In these things, extraverted feeling proves to be a creative factor. Without this feeling, for example, beautiful and harmonious sociability is unthinkable. In this respect, extraverted feeling is just as beneficial and rational a power as extraverted thinking." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 412)
To me, Fe represents that desire for human connection, to feel community, to think about others. We live in an age where hyperindividualism is encouraged everywhere, to care about yourself only, to isolate and disregard anyone who doesn't make you feel good. If that kind of mindset is pushed constantly by corporations and influencers, a lot of people will have a hard time understanding something like Fe, since it opposes everything hyperindividualism stands for. It's frustrating, but I think it's also not surprising to see a lot of people in the MBTI community having an intense dislike of Fe types, especially Fe-dom types, because of this. The idea that only you, as an individual, matter, is so prevalent that for some people, caring about something other than yourself is just dumb.
⚠️ Another thing to take in mind is that Jung determines the dominant function by what we value the most. By this, it means that your intention is what matters, not the results. For example, a socially awkward person can be an ENFJ as long as they value the outside feeling environment over everything else, no matter how clumsy they may be at it. We tend to think of ENFJ as mind-readers, masters of socialization, or community leaders, and it certainly can be the case! But, just as the ENFJ can be a well-loved, charismatic therapist, it can also be the nervous shrinking violet who awkwardly tries to please people around them. We often make the mistake of measuring someone's preference of a function by how "skilled" they are at it, by how much positive results come from them using that function, when in reality, you can be an absolute dimwit and still be a Ti-dom. Your dominant function is always the one that dictates your decisions, regardless of the results of those decisions.
Now, as with all functions, Extraverted Feeling has its dark side.
"However, this beneficial effect is lost as soon as the object gains excessive influence. In this case, the overly extraverted feeling draws the personality too much into the object, i.e. the object assimilates the person, whereby the personal character of the feeling, which is its main stimulus, is lost. This makes the feeling cold, objective and untrustworthy. It betrays a secret intention, or at least arouses such suspicions in the unbiased observer. It no longer makes that pleasant and refreshing impression which always accompanies a genuine feeling, but one senses posturing or acting, when perhaps the egocentric intention is still quite unconscious." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (pp. 412-413).
It's possible to care too much. When Fe gains excessive influence over the psyche, it places so much value on harmonious relationships that it comes at the detriment of the subject. Unhealthy Fe demands that you adapt to every single social environment, to make sure to please everyone, and to sacrifice your personhood in favor of the external feeling world. This is why the unhealthy Fe user comes across as fake and dishonest: it's impossible to be a different person to fit in with different social settings without sacrificing your integrity.
"Since situations in life constantly alternate with one another, triggering different or even contrasting emotional tones, the personality dissolves into just as many different feelings. One time you are one thing, the next time something completely different - apparently, because in reality such a diversity of personality is impossible." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 415).
When we talk about types turning unhealthy or acting in erratic or destructive ways, we also have to talk about their inferior function. After all, is your inferior function that keeps your dominant function in check, so to speak. Your inferior function is a sensible counterpart that, while it opposes your dominant function, it provides a different perspective, like another voice that says "yes, but..." to anything you say. This is the role of Introverted Thinking (Ti).
❗️Contrary to popular belief, inferior Ti is not when you lack intelligence, logic, or intellect. To begin with, Thinking isn't related to intelligence. It can lead to it, but just like Feeling can lead to emotions, it ultimately isn't emotions in itself. In the same way, Thinking can lead to intelligence, but it isn't intelligence in itself. It's a process of thought, not the result of that thought. For example, you can think about a math problem, but that thinking may not necessarily lead to a correct answer.
The relationship between the dominant function and the inferior function is the most important one. If the balance between the two functions is disturbed, it leads to destructive or toxic behaviors, or as how Jung called it, neurosis. So what is the relationship between Ti and Fe?
"You can only feel "right" if nothing else disturbs your feelings. But nothing disturbs feeling as much as thinking. It is therefore easy to understand why thinking is suppressed as much as possible in this type of person. This is by no means to say that such a woman does not think at all; on the contrary, she may think a great deal and very intelligently, but her thinking is never sui generis, but an epimetheic appendage of her feeling. As far as feeling permits, she can think very well, but any conclusion, however logical, which might lead to a result disturbing to feeling, is rejected a limine. It is simply not thought." Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 414)
Thinking is the opposing force to Feeling. And for a type that values Feeling the most, it's only to be expected that it tries to suppress Thinking the most. If a logical thought has the power to disturb the social harmony, the average or unhealthy ENFJ will do their best to pretend it isn't there. But it's impossible to completely suppress a part of your mind. The thoughts that you're desperately trying to push away, will always come back in different forms:
"Unconscious thinking reaches the surface in the form of ideas, often of an obsessive nature, whose general character is always negative and devaluing. There are therefore moments in women of this type when the worst thoughts attach themselves to the very objects that the feeling values most highly. Negative thinking makes use of all infantile prejudices or comparisons that are suitable for casting doubt on the value of feelings, and it draws on all primitive instincts in order to be able to explain feelings as "nothing but". Jung, Carl. Psychological Types (p. 417).
By this, Jung means that the suppressed Ti will leak out in the form of harsh criticism, prejudice, or comparing people according to unreasonable expectations of them, destroying the previously positive feelings about them. Basically, Ti will turn destructive, making the usually pleasant ENFJ assume the worst out of someone.
All of the above paints a picture of a dishonest, paranoid, and troubled ENFJ. They're desperate to win people over, to make everyone happy, but they have lost themselves in this desire and sacrificed their integrity to the point they sound hollow, they lack substance, and the more they try, the less convincing they are. At the same time, their inferior Ti makes them think all sorts of terrible things about the people around them, and they start doubting their relationships and the sincerity of the people they love.
🫂 I will be making a part two later describing Ni from Jung's perspective and how to tell ENFJ and INFJ apart. Ni is kind of tricky to describe, especially as an auxiliary function, but I'm sure it'll help a lot of people who may be confused about their type! Also, the majority of what I described above can be applied to the ENFJ's sensor counterpart, ESFJ. And as I said before, Jung only described four functions and eight personality types, which later expanded to 16 personality types under Myers-Briggs system, therefore there isn't a "function stack" to speak of right now, but I can do my best to describe the closest thing we have to it from Psychological Types.
I hope this was helpful. Thank you for reading! 💖

Coming out, Karma, big cats, Robin...
Hello friends. I have only been a gaylor for a fortnight (not a joke, just a fact) so please forgive me if I have misunderstood something or am covering well-tread ground without realising it. I have done a lot of reading and find all this absolutely capitivating. If anything below is even partially right, it is because I stand on the shoulders of the amazing gaylors before me.
Look What You Made Me Do
Let's start with the Look What You Made Me Do music video (which makes so much more sense when viewed through the lens of you made me shelve the "too-queer" Karma album and take on this line of beards).
When Taylor starts singing "Look what you made me do" for the first time, she crashes a car with a big cat inside it. She is also wearing a coat with a big cat pattern.
There has been talk of this car crash being Karlie. Car = KARlie. Although that may be an extra layer, I believe that the predominant message here is that the car is Karma. Car = KARma.
She crashes the car (shelves Karma) and then poses artificially for the press (for success, to protect her reputation).
(I know the album was about her "bad reputation", but in light of shelving Karma, it was also about maintaining her reputation as a straight person.)
Later, Taylor walks away from the crashed car (which is now in flames) with the big cat on a leash (chain?). Big cats have been discussed as being symbolic of Taylor's wild, queer self, which I agree with. Karma the car (with the big cat in the backseat - Taylor's queerness) was crashed, but Taylor and the big cat walk away from the crash - she is still queer, even if that queerness is on a leash / contained.
Fortnight
Several years later, in Fortnight, Taylor sings about going to Florida and buying the car she wants (i.e. releasing Karma). It won't start up until you "touch me" (i.e. until ME! Out now! ... meaning Karma will be released once / at the same as she comes out). And until she "touch[es] you", which is widely regarded as her queemasculine self as represented in the Fortnight music video.
Karma/Mother
There has been mention of Taylor's new, queer, reincarnation-of-Karma album being called "Mother" instead. We would expect this incarnation of the album to be a bit different to the original, given that time has passed and that some of the original Karma tracks are likely to have come out on Reputation or other released albums. So... If she crashed the caKar during Reputation era, what is left? The ma. "Ma" as in another word for "Mother".
More Big Cats & Robin
Speaking of releasing... As well as releasing music/albums, etc, you know what else can be released? Big cats. Circus animals. Tigers in cages. I wouldn't be surprised if Karma the album had a bunch of big cat imagery. It also reminds me of this poem:
The tiger is OUT, huh?
Tortured Poets Department has a bunch of wild animal imagery, but I specifically want to talk about the song "Robin" and its tiger. It makes perfect sense to me that this is not a song about a small child being protected, but instead about a young Taylor being "protected" from the "cruel and the mean" via "the secret we all vowed to keep" "in sweetness." i.e. Eventually "the time will arrive" for Taylor to come out, but not yet - for her own good, and in the meantime we need "all this showmanship".
On the surface it sounds like a sweet song, but to me Taylor sounds vaguely sad and resentful. "Way to go tiger / Higher and higher" is Taylor being pushed more and more before she's allowed to come out. The goal posts keep moving. Taylor keeps working and working, keeps expecting to be able to come out, but it hasn't happened yet ("I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser"). The tiger in its cage does its best to perform to these rising "strings tied to levers", but it's still not set free.
As an aside, the vibe of this song really reminds me of "It's Nice to Have a Friend." At first glance they're sweet songs but with bitter undercurrents. It doesn't surprise me at all that "It's Nice to Have a Friend" was used on a horror music soundtrack. It reminds me of the stress of having a "friend" when you're queer, like being introduced to your girlfriend's grandmother as "so-and-so's friend".
Meet Me at Midnight
I was listening to Anti-Hero the other day and something went "ping!" in my brain when hearing "Midnights become my afternoons." As well as the literal meaning of someone staying up late, this sounds to me as if this references Taylor's 'meet me at midnight, that's when my authentic self will come out' being delayed. Like the clock was almost to midnight and then someone took it off the wall, spun it 180 degrees, and then put it back on the wall like that. Like I was about to come out but now suddenly it's 6pm again, I have to wait and wait.
This also makes me think of Taylor's clear Cinderella reference in Bejewelled. You know what happens to Cinderella at midnight? She turns back from princess-like (Taylor Swift TM) into a more 'ordinary' human being (authentic self). But in Taylor's version (small v) at midnight she also ghosts the prince (stops bearding) and keeps the castle (keeps her fame/money/success/legacy).
I can't wait until the 12th/midnight album comes out / gets released / gets its teeth back!
