        This  has  been  a thread of great interest to me.  I took the
     "test" almost 10 years ago and was completely  taken  by  it  and
     it's  purpose  (perhaps  because  I  was studying C.G.Jung at the
     time).  I'm still surprised that I hadn't considered  the  possi-
     bility of "clustering" before this.

        That is exactly how I was introduced to it.  The training com-
     pany I worked for was trying to find ways to get the  instructors
     and staff to be more considerate of each other.

        That is actually interesting -- maybe in a couple of ways.  In
     the general population I would think that women *tend* to be  the
     i(N)tuitives  while  the  men *tend* to be (S)ensing which is the
     case here.  But, if one goes by the "common wisdom" (or maybe old
     wives  tales)  that  opposites "attract" while alikes "repel" ...
     well, I guess I have to ask (please  note  my  tongue  is  firmly
     planted in my cheek :-) ): is the house still standing?

        With  two (I)ntroverts, (possibly) (F)eeling, (J)udgers in the
     house, I might think it could provide some  interesting  interac-
     tions. ;-)

        :-)

        So,  what other things do you see that you have in common with
     Quakers?

        :-)

        Thanks  for  the  reply to my note, Camilla.  As, I said, this
     has been interesting.  Take care ...
