Subject:What's Your Tempermant? From:TIMMERMAN <timmerma -at- IPDLINK -dot- IPD -dot- ANL -dot- GOV> Date:Fri, 6 Dec 1996 15:12:17 CST
Hi All,
A while ago I took the Keirsey Tempermant Sorter
(http://sunsite.unc.edu/personality/keirsey.html). This test is an
online personality test which scores results according to the
Myers-Briggs system (the actual Myers-Briggs test is a professional
instrument and may only be administered by a licensed practitioner).
The test is scored on four different scales:
Energizing: Extrovert vs. Introvert
Attending: iNtuitive vs. Sensing
Deciding: Feeling vs. Thinking
Living: Judging vs. Perceptive
I wonder if we, as a group, have similar tempermants? If you would
like to participate in a less-than-scientific experiment, take the
Keirsey Tempermant Sorter and send me (not the list) your result.
Also, let me know if you are employed full time or self employed.
I'll compile the results (sans names) three ways (i.e., entire group,
full time, self employed) and post it to the list.
If your response is overwelming, compiling the results may take quite
a while.
