[MD] MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR

[ian glendinning]

Hi Ron,

"exactly" is not a word in my vocabulary ;-)

MBTI profiles are a summary of your "Jungian Types" - I would take the
psycho-analytic detail with a pinch of salt, particularly when doing
them in a "self-assessment" style, where the picture can be distorted
by your motivations in doing such a test.

Statistically, we (westerners) rarely score well in the F (Feeling /
Aesthetic) band and tend to crowd out the T (Thinking / Rationality)
band. In fact it's the same intellectual evolution problem we deal
with here on MoQ-Discuss with the logical-positivist, dialectic,
objective, scientific outlook dominating proceedings. (In fact for me,
it's self-knowing my brain is firmly in the "T" mold, that makes me
actively play the discursive role here - a backlash.)

But I'm saying all this "approximately" from memory.
(I'd follow the wiki-pedia link Marsha provided if you want to know more.)

You are in a valuable minority, where diversity is king. Enjoy.
(If you believe the "trick-cyclists", as one of my staff used to refer
to the psycho-analysts.)

Ian
