I did a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test at work which characterised me as INFP (introversion, intuition, feeling, perception) with borderline INTP (introversion, intuition, thinking, perception). INFPs have been refered to as Healers and INTPs as Architects. Amongst my scientific colleagues I was unusual in being 'feeling' slightly more than 'thinking'. There is no one type that is best, but it is interesting to appreciate that different types are largely inherent and that we should take account of these when dealing with others, and perhaps in our life choices.
These square format paintings combine trompe l'oeil with 'colourfield' composition.
