I think you can make certain generalizations about the sexes, but there will always be exceptions, so you can't make it too black and white. I can see how having a common vocabulary would make communication much easier. @ Laurie, the ebook includes a worksheet for you to write down your type and several other things, so I won't let you forget this time. :) Enjoy! @ Akemi, I didn't get any numbers back when I took it. It just said INTP with the I circled (very clear preference) and the P underlined (less clear preference). I would like to have seen the numbers though. Yeah, I know James is nice, just a little...well, now I can say "his soul trains in the 6th energy center." Now, the people who intimidate for the sake of intimidation, I wonder what body part goes with that chakra. @ James, instead of Big Bad Wolf Syndrome, we can call it 6th Chakra Syndrome. My ebook points to some relatively good online MBTI knockoffs if you skip ahead to the section "Determining Your Tentative Type." @ Dot, I think a lot of people hear about the MBTI, but they don't actually take it, or they take it and then forget everything. There are even people like me who take it, decide they're a different type, and find out they were wrong 3 years later. :) @ Avani-Mehta, I know MAFMWAFV isn’t a great looking acronym, but I knew you’d figure it out.

I didn't realize there were people who didn't know what this was. I took one so many years ago I can't remember exactly when, plus did some online, and had to do it again for my last job. I'm off the chart on introversison, don't really recall the rest. Congratulations on your ebook! I didn’t realize there were people who didn’t know what this was.

Quick question. Is there a particular test online for this that is fast and doesn't dink around with ads and signups? @ Akemi – *grin* I was watching to see what you’d say. And yes, direct.

The concepts mentioned apply to both genders. For instance, there are times I go in caves or think that if it ain't broken, don't fix it. What I gained most was a new set of vocabulary for phases we all go through. My partner too has read the book.

Sounds like you, doesn't it? We shouldn't really say "full strength on N and F" because the MBTI doesn't indicate your strength with those functions, only the degree of your preference. It's more accurate to say you're a very clear N and F. Did the Pen Men make you hide under your blanket? @ Michael, you gotta run with your strengths. And I think you're doing just that with the SEO seminar you're masterminding. @ Cath, you've reminded me of a post idea. Thanks! @ Avani-Mehta, uh-oh, you shouldn't follow your type with "I think!" Maybe it's time to check it again. It should theoretically be the same now that it was then. I thought MAFMWAFV was good, even though it drew some criticism for its unsupported ideas. I thought it had some good insights in spite of its simplicity. @ Shamelle, thanks for that tip.

Interesting perspective.

A few weeks ago, I was reading, “How People Tick – A Guide to Difficult People and How to Handle Them” by MIKE LEIBLING, thought you might enjoy it as well.
