I'm also part of the MBTI nerd crew. I went around polling a bunch of my friends about their types, eager to know if it matches up with their MBTI descriptions. I believe in the MBTI and how accurate it is if ppl are honest with themselves.

I myself am an INTJ. One problem with my type is that I have high standards not just for myself, but for everyone else. This can possibly be a problem as an ESL teacher. I just need to remind myself not everyone learns at the same pace and I need to be patient and caring enough to persist.

Anyone tried the HMTI?

Or the NPQ?

Briggs, Gregoric, Hathaway and McKinley, et al .... move over, with apologies.

Dear jdl,

Criminy - I'm a "Special Dark" guy:

S: Special Dark

"S-preferer("Special Dark") personalities tend toward the extremes of sensation. S-preferer personalities are attracted to marginalized subcultures and have a disregard for societal norms. A high S preference is correllated with sadomasochism, necrophilia, sexual vampirism, and other "dark" paraphilias. Conversely, strong S-rejection (and thus rejection of marginalized subcultures) correllates with a high risk of becoming a Greenpeace member or, in extreme cases, a television evangelist."

Well, I'd rather be a "sexual vampire" than a "TV evangelist" any day (though I draw the line at necrophilia - it's a dead-end relationship.)



Regards,
John

Dear jdl,

Son, you'd BETTER have a damn good sense of humor when you get old; otherwise, don't bother.

Regards,
John

P.S. Hmm, it that respect, old age is remarkably like Saudi Arabia.
