    Hi there

    Apologies for resurrecting the dead, but I've just endured a two-day "indoctrination" course at my employer's re-education camp (great shopping centre - bought three pairs of shoes over two lunch times!).

    We were Myers Briggsed (again!) but it was quite interesting. I was given a booklet that contains a little more than "this is who you are". The little yellow book endorsed my thoughts about myself at my current age. I was very shy when I was young, but now don't give a damn. If you'd like to know how your personality type changes with age, PM me and I'll send you a scan.

    Cheers

    Vicki

    Your Type is
    ENFJ
    ExtravertedIntuitiveFeelingJudging Strength of the preferences % 33503844Results according to the test. I think that means I'm a pain in the ass! I agree that many questions couldn't always be yes or no as I think I'm probably more extraverted than the result as well as not agreeing with a 38 for feeling. Ah, well...

    Aloha GC,

    I trust that you are aware that the survey you took presents a snapshot of who you are just at that point and that the results will most likely vary after a 24-hour time period.

    CT, let me guess, you have disconnected writing. the letters within words are disconnected more often than not. (Although it should not be that my analysis would be based on what you say but instead it should be that I look at the handwriting for analysis of the real personality.)

Understanding who you are speaking with can help a great deal, methinks. I find that cultural differences play a similar role in misunderstandings, though we can leave that for another thread.

    This is very obviously right, especially concerning how much misunderstandings do we have even in this forum. To say nothing about the situation when you have to literally translate the idioms from your mother language - in a hope, to be better understood by others. Practically, very often exactly the opposite happens.
    I hope you understand what I am trying to say herewith!

    Some benefit of the doubt and a little thick-skin sometimes helps to smooth things a bit.......
