To The Top's PS says there's a certain comfort in being confused...good, 'cause I am confused by dave's post. What are you saying? Are you Caveman? Were you kicked off? I'm dense and I can't figure it out.

Hey Puget---take the test!

Workin' & postin' is hell. A few witches...and I don't think the Puritans did anything to the indians that the rest of the European settlers didn't do. And the indians did their share of first strikes as well. Not the same thing, my friends.

what did the Pilgrims do?

I hear Spotted Owl tastes like Eagle meat.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I don't want it if it isn't pliable and compactible. Hell, the cheapie in me says get one of those $68 Lands End parkas, but I don't want to get wet in down on that one-in-a-million-chance epic I might find myself in...

trask, I'd challenge you to a duel of athletic prowess, if you're not chicken...

Look, I didn't sleep worth a shit last night, and I've actually gotta get some work done today. Don't cross me, owleyes! And that's platyman, got it?!

I woulda sworn you were related to old Marge, trask.

I knew I liked freeclimb. Viva Mexico! Seriously, folks, there's a fine line between challenging someone to fight, and communicating threats. One's okay (except where it amounts to bullying). One's over-the-line...and if played out too far could end up forcing the owners of this board to shut it down, IMO. But in general, isn't it a little silly to be talking about fighting while typing on a pc keyboard?

All right! At least some people will play. Still wish we could get Mtngoat to step up and take it. BTW, I think the freak, the profile most likely to BASE jump, is ISTP.

I don't know what trask looks like, but here's his mom...

No, SK, I am an ENTJ "field marshall." But as I remember, that's one percent of the US population.

will you be my beotch for a day, traskie?

I am a one-percenter as well. The interesting thing is that most people choose mates that are not exact opposites, but who are oblique to theirs or near-opposites in this 16-block matrix. Also people who you work well with. This doesn't mean you understand'em...you just complement each other.

I wanna see mtngoat's. That's what got me thinking about this. I decided that if I said the TV needed adjusting, he'd start talking about the relativity of the pixel colors. C'mon Goat...play the game.

c'mon, take the other test, bud. It'll take five minutes, trask. See top.

Hey Goddess, I did, look up top.

I read these posts and am reminded of The Walrus and the Carpenter: ...The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand: "If this were only cleared away," They said, "it would be grand!" "If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year. Do you suppose," the Walrus said, "That they could get it clear?" "I doubt it," said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear... (etc.)

Okay, I found another version of the full test: Jung-Myers-Briggs Took it again. Bingo...ENTJ ("field marshall")

TLG, go get a copy of that Please Understand Me from B&N or someplace cheap. Probably less than $10. It contains the test for the whole profile, as well as detailed descriptions of each of the 16 profiles. I guarantee that you will get a kick out of figuring out the profiles of parents, friends, etc. as well as reading your own. I wouldn't have posted the link if I'd have realized the full test wasn't there for free. Maybe I can find a different test online that is free...

Yeah, DFA, but if you do the whole thing out, and then do a little reading about your profile, I'll bet you find yrself going, "damn, that's right on!"

Shit, trask, I didn't lookit their test. The one I took was only about 40 Qs in a book...

Okay, you doofs are wasting the day away, so I would like to conduct a survey. Twenty years ago I would have put no stock in personality profiles. After taking a few tests, and also using them as mgt tools for others, I find that they are usually accurate and pretty damn interesting. Many of the tests are done using the Myers-Briggs 16-personality category sorter. So my question is, for those of you who have taken it, what are you? There is a sorter online I believe at keirsey.com Edit: Here's a better one: Jung-Myers-Briggs BTW, I am described as an ENTJ.
