The glossary on aLittleBitofPersonality.com, or the aLBoPGloss, is intended to break up all the extensive information on the site into more manageable definition-chunks.  Usually our purpose in posts is to show you how everything fits together, but it’s difficult to understand the whole if you don’t understand the pieces.  As we fill in the pages below, they’ll lay out the bare-bones of each tool and concept used here on aLBoP.

While this table of contents is technically “in order” based on how aLBoP’s tools build on each other, they are neither going to be written in order, nor do they need to be read in order.  Jump around, follow your curiosity; each glossary page will link to other relevant pages and posts, as well as back here, so get as lost as you want to, or jump to exactly what you’re looking for.

If you’re here on the aLBoP Guided Tour, just be aware that this page is here, stick a pin in it (mentally, idiomatically by bookmarking it, or literally) for ongoing reference.  But the next stop on the Guided Tour is really Type Specializations: What Makes My Type Special?, so go there to continue your magical journey 🦄✨.

And watch the front page slider and our social media links (found in the sidebar) for new glossary pages being posted all the time.
