Subject:Re: Meyers-Briggs, etc. and work (back OT) From:"Laura Winkelspecht" <laura99 -at- execpc -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 12 Apr 2001 22:21:35 -0500
Our group at work recently took the MBTI "to get a better understanding of
each other." Not sure if it really helped, but it was sort of fun. I'm an
INTP.
There's a good personality type test based on the MBTI at
www.onlinepsych.com.
As far as working in something besides software, hardware, etc., I am a tech
writer who works in retail. Not too glamorous, but pays the bills and I do
get to write for a living. I document a lot of policies and procedures,
sometimes software and hardware (currently how to use PeopleSoft), sometimes
how to count the cash that comes into the stores every day.
