    About this ebook

    What were they thinking?
    Have you had times when you blamed your troubles on your upbringing?
    Do people say that you are just like your parent?
    If you understand the motivations of your parents, teachers or caregivers, it may be easier to accept the way they went about raising or teaching you and dissolve that lingering resentment or recurring irritations.
    This book is designed to help you find the inborn personality type of those people who raised you and so learn a little more about them. It describes the 16 human types and allows you to quickly discover not only your own personality type, but the personalities of your parents (even if they are not there to answer questions for themselves). Simply take in mind one person at the time, begin at the start and follow the instructions at the bottom of each page. Within four to eight pages, you will not only know their personality type, but have an explanation as to why they made the choices they did.
    Based on the Myers-Briggs and Jungian psychological types, this format requires no tests and no separate instruction.
    We cannot change the past, but we can change how we feel about it.

    I started my career in physical and mental healthcare, tropical nursing and midwifery, including an assignment with Medecins sans Frontieres to Columbia and four summers in a camp for children with type one diabetes. Those experiences still provide a lot of the material for my books. More recently I added hypnotherapy to my healthcare training.After my children were born, I changed to education and worked a few years as a Montessori teacher before opting to educate my own children at home. That was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. In the meantime we had moved from Europe and the UK to the USA, Australia and now New Zealand.Nearly twenty years ago I became interested in the theory of psychological types of Carl Jung (and of Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey) which has changed my perspective on life completely and which I have made my special interest of study. When my children went off to university, I decided to join them and get a degree in philosophy. Since then I have been a writer of both fiction and non-fiction books inspired by the inborn differences that influence the beliefs, behavior and natural talents of every person on Earth.Although I enjoy writing non-fiction books, I believe that fiction is best suited to help bridge those natural differences. Hence, my books portray human nature to a depth where the study of psychology cannot reach, each character an easily recognizable personality and together in pursuit of a positive future.

      Sentimental Journey - Nonen Titi

      1. What Were They Thinking?

      Am I close to my parents?

      What do they tell me off for?

      Am I acting like my parents did?

      Why do my siblings see them so differently?

      We cannot go back and change the past.

      Many of us look back at our childhood and wonder what our parents or caregivers were thinking when they set their standards, enforced their rules (or not) and accepted the popular beliefs of the time (or not). It is easy to say I’d never have done it that way when looking at how they raised or taught you, or to blame your childhood troubles for the difficulties you experience today, but parents and teachers are only people too, each with their own hopes and dreams about love, jobs, family and about you, their child.

      In general, parents do the best they can within the limits of the economic circumstances of their time, the social expectations of their environment, their own experiences and their personality types. These types influence what each of us find important in life and therefore what parents teach their children.

      By looking at them in a specific way, assessing their type and how that differs from our own type, it becomes possible to get a glimpse into who our parents or teachers are (or were), why they worked the jobs they did, raised you with the beliefs they did and lived their lives the way they did, so, even if you can’t change the past, this guide may help dissolve lingering resentment or irritations.

      As family members are seldom of the same type, understanding these differences also explains why you may remember a completely different childhood than your siblings. And if you are a parent now it may help you tackle some of the clashes you have with your own children.

      The personality types used in this guide and their letter indicators were first written down by Carl Jung in 1921 and later completed and popularized by Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey, and the concepts belong to them. Here, instead of a self-assessment indicator in which you answer questions in order to discover your own type, the descriptions are directed at a third person – a person whom you, the reader, are trying to understand. These descriptions are based on the works of the people mentioned above and on fifteen years of observing and studying psychological types.

      Sentimental Journey is one of four books originally published together in print as Playing with Natural Talents. It allows you to discover the psychological types of your parents, caregivers, teachers or grandparents.

      You do this by choosing one person (for every new person you want to know the type of, start again from the beginning), read the descriptions with this person in mind (read he as she if you need to) and follow the instructions (YES or NO) according to which of every pair of descriptions fits the person best. At the bottom of every second description there is a reference to the quick-guides, which make a side-by-side comparison between each pair of opposing letters (traits) to be used in case you’re not sure. You can always reconsider an earlier choice. With every additional letter the picture of the person you have in mind will get a little clearer. It may help if you find out what your own typename is first.

      Keep in mind that this is not an exact science: regardless of their typename, each person has to deal with the circumstances and opportunities their environment offers and some types are more inclined to follow the popular trends. Also remember that the descriptions are extremes intended to help you choose between two opposites and you may have to compensate for economic or social circumstances that force people into jobs or lifestyles that may have not been their natural choice – for example, preferred ways of ‘telling off’ a child are subject to social pressure, and gender differences play a larger role the further back in time you look. If there were two parents, one may have been dominant (couples often have opposing traits/letters) and hence made the rules. Last,
