The results are in and during 2024 the top five locations where this blog was read were Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada with my own country, the United Kingdom and then United States making up the top 5 so thank you to the East Asians and North Americans for finding my blog but i'm a tad disappointed in my fellow Brits.
As for the top 10 posts, the tenth was June's 'A Post About Neuroscience And Brain Bits' which was about some equation which showed how voters were switching parties they voted for and came with a recommendation that there was always the option to move onto the next post about Metal and Punk bands. Luckily for me not many people took me up on it.
At 9 we have 'Kamala Labels Trump A Fascist' which i agreed with and threw in that he is also a sociopathic, self serving, manipulative, sex offending racist as well which didn't reflect well on her that despite all that, he still beat her.
With what Israel is doing in Palestine, the Genocide there was a theme i returned to many times and in 8th place we have 'Russian Brutality No Different To Israel's' where after the West's quite rightful condemnation of Russia for attacking a Ukrainian Hospital, i asked where the condemnation was for Israel attacking every single hospital in Palestine?
The congratulations for the 7th place post, 'UK Tax Is Plenty Taxing' needs to go the the Taxpayers Alliance who provided me with a complete idiots guide to the Taxes in the UK and boiled down a 500 page document to the absolute basics, which i just added a few pithy lines to and decided to leave pretty much as emailed, so raise a glass of wine TA, once you have paid the VAT on it obviously.
A man who is sure to get more than a few mentions next year is the incoming US President who just misses out on the top five this year with 'The Trump Pee Tape' where i was at pains to point out that until the video is made public it is just a smoking gun, or in this case, a very damp mattress.
In at 5 is 'The Types Of Personality' where my interest was piqued by a fun survey we completed at work to establish which of the 16 type we were and what each means and which famous people we shared personalty traits with and found i am most matched with Kurt Cobain, William Shakespeare and John Lennon which isn't a bad bunch to be lumped in with.
'Keep The Right Wingers Over There' is 4th and was a recommendation that the right wing failures from here turning up to say stupid things in America should stay there. Unfortunately they never took my advice and they are now back here saying stupid things.
Into the top 3 and 'Farage: The MilkShake Kid' was the leader of Reform who stepped outside to his pubic and ended up wearing a McDonald's banana milkshake courtesy of a disgruntled woman who must have regretted it almost immediately because those milkshakes are £2 a time!
Just pipped to number 2 was my post where i tried to explain to people what's good about this rainy, windswept island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of continental Europe in 'What's So Great About Britain Then?'.
At number 1 is 'NOAA Says It's Gonna Get A Bit Blowy' where the US Department responsible for climate and weather predicted in the 2024 Hurricane Season there would be 17 to 25 named storms (there was 18), with 8 to 13 becoming hurricanes (there was 11) and 4 to 7 will become major hurricanes (there was 5) so well done NOAA, tie down the garden furniture and then pat yourself on the back for being the top FOAB Post for 2024.

The Best OF FOAB 2024

The NOAA weather predictions were essentially in the middle of a normal distribution curve. a curve which has not changed since hurricanes have been tracked or modeled. so basically, their prediction for 2024 was like saying "in 2025, there will be between 363 and 367 days...
You are still misusing "personality type" for Myers-Briggs - blaming them for mis-labeling it is a poor excuse. Myers-Briggs is a "choice management profile". There is obviously much more to personality than just "making choices".
One should first create a "personality profile" using OCEAN. Then, within that profile for an individual, create a Myers-Briggs "choice management profile".
For example, a typical leftist (high Openness and moderate Neuroticism), would be far different than a typical conservative (high Conscientiousness and low Openness), but they might both have the same approach to making choices: INFJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging)
I'd guess you are an ENFJ (hard for me to read because Brits are very different than Americans. But i'm very good at profiling Americans.)
E - consider what others are doing when identifying choices
N - consider possibilities more than hard facts
F - found decisions on feeling more than data
J - tend to work on one major objective at a time
With:
- high Openness (defining trait of leftists)
- moderate Conscientiousness (based on your blogging discipline)
- average Extroversion (based on being an instructor)
- moderate Agreeableness (British culture and empathy for poor)
- moderate to high Neuroticism (susceptible to negative emotion)
Hard for an American to profile Brits and vice-versa... gotta know the culture.
You do seem upset about the personality thing which was something which took about 10 mins, wasn’t taken seriously and was treated the same way as we treat horoscopes, interesting in a way but not actually believed in any way.
i'm not upset. unless upset means something different in english than it does in american.
myers-briggs and OCEAN are both very useful tools for team building, executive/leader profiling for competitive intelligence, and building a communication plan.
