You're welcome. When I was first introduced to the instrument
(as I believe the professionals call it :-) ), I was very excit-
ed. As I believe I stated earlier, I was studying Jung at the
time and the whole personality-testing-to-improve-professional-
relations thing was a big synchronistic and serindipitious (?sp?)
concept at the time. I stayed excited about it for several
years.
As with all things, my directions started changing and I
couldn't keep those around me as interested as I was in the tool.
So, eventually the excitement sort of slipped onto the "back
burner." So, when I heard those always-exciting words -- Myers-
Briggs -- again, I just had to put in my $0.02 worth.
I hope some of the other list-members have enjoyed the discus-
sion, followed the links I provided, and maybe -- just maybe --
have given some thought to whether PWPs (or other groups of peo-
ple) tend to cluster around specific MBTI types.

[BIG GRIN] :-)
I think that you may have stumbled on to something there. Do
you think anybody will admit to it? ;-)
Again, thanks for sharing and take care ...
