Can anyone help me with this? On the cards that explain the minors of the Rock & Roll Deck, every court card has four capitalized letters at the end of the meaning, like, ESFJ, ENFJ, ISFP, etc. I have no idea what they mean. Am I going to kick myself when somebody tells me? Lawguy51

Lawguy, I don't know. He did write on my deck: Omnia Mutantur Nihil Interit. Maybe that means something. His email address is on the cards, I will write him!

Looks like Briggs-Meyers typology. I = introvert S = sensing T = thinking J = judging E = extrovert N = intuitive F = feeling P = perceiving A person takes a test and is categorized with four of the letters, as on your court cards, according to which function is dominant (which would be the first letter). I believe it's based on Jung's typology of functions. -- Lee

If you're interested in finding out your own personality type as classified by the Myers-Briggs test, you can go to this site to take the test online. People report that their results can vary according to their mood, so please take the results with a grain of salt, if not an entire shaker. :D Bob :THERM

Sorry if my post seemed a little abrupt! :D I was at work and had about two seconds to post. I think Mary Greer was the first person to correlate the Court cards with Myers-Briggs typology (see, I even spelled it wrong in my earlier post!). It works out well because there are 16 types and 16 court cards, although when I recall that when I examined the types in detail, they don't seem to correlate much with standard RWS-inspired interpretations of the courts. But it seems like it could be used as a nicely well-rounded way to interpret them. -- Lee

Well, it turns out I'm an INTJ! Thanks for solving the mystery. Lawguy51

I haven't taken it in awhile. I am an INFJ. I used to be an INTP. I wonder what happened... :-) Sue

Coco, I am an INTP!
