START
Gifted compass
After reflecting on your past,
you got back behind the wheel
of your ship again
But your boat is still washed out
and floating around aimlessly
This all changes when you are put
to the test to show some personality
Start journey
ABOUT LEVEL
Maybe they hold the key
to free us from our misery
Maybe they have the answers
Maybe they can give us advice
Whenever we feel lost
it is tempting to ask others where to go
If they know what's best for them...
then they surely know
what's best for you too, right?
Their ships are in way better shape and they have a boatload of experience
We assume that others
know more than we do
But they can also point you
in the wrong direction
with all the best intentions
Advice from other people
can point you in the right direction
Well, yes.
For them it is just uttering some words,
while you are putting yourself at risk
It's easy to tell someone what to do
when you don't have to bear
the consequences of a wrong decision.
This is because
they don't have skin in the game
They will not spent the same amount of time thinking about your life decisions as you
They do not know all factors at play
from financial burdens to past mistakes
from family ties and personal values
Other people cannot oversee
your situation and considerations
You cannot hand over the steering wheel
In all major life decisions
you are in charge
Your own mistakes are greater lessons
than someone telling you
where they went wrong
It feels like you're running on empty
you could use some fuel
Currently you've been dwelling
in this same spot for weeks
But hey,
what good is a steering wheel anyway
Your engine is not even running
You take your hands off the wheel
and pull out your phone
Maybe a little shot of dopamine
will get your engine started again
Welcome to an endless stream
of other people's highlights —.—'
Surely they are not having
the same doubts
When you see former classmates their lives appear to be smooth sailing
Surely they are not having
the same doubts
They landed jobs, settled down
and some are raising children
Comparing yourself to others will lower your self-esteem and increase anxiety
Plus it is unfair
as people choose what they share and filter out imperfections
Following others impairs your own vision and creates shortsightedness On social media
you are comparing your reality
to a distorted reality
Behind the feed we worship,
might be a life of hardship
You need to face reality
You cannot follow others forever
Didn't you have a battery pack
in your backpack?
You decide to put your phone away
You can't remember what it is exactly...
As you reach into your backpack
your hand slides across a cold metal object
A friend gave it to you
when they noticed you got off track
You didn't believe it could guide you anywhere, but at this point you are willing to try whatever
Ha, you almost forgot you brought this compass

About the test
16 types
The MBTI is loosely based on concepts theorized by psychoanalysist Carl Jung, but has since been further developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers.
The validity of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator has faced a lot of criticism. As it is a self-assessment, it could be that you get different results depending on your mood.
It is not used in psychosocial practice and many of the studies that endorse the MBTI test are unscientific, methodologically weak or funded in favor of the MBTI.
So, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is by no means a scientific analysis of your personality. Keep that in mind. But you can use it as a tool for reflection to put your personality into words.
