From this book, "Please Understand Me II by David Keirsey" second
edition. Tells me indirectly why societies will Fail or Succeed. From
this book I found in short order who I will probably get along with and
who I will not. Why some people will listen to reason and those who will
not. Why many people will bend to fear and those who will not. Most
people will not listen to reason no matter what proof one has. Why some
care about others and why others will take advantage of others. The
author states our brains are hard wired from birth into sixteen
personalities. I am an "ENTJ", a messed up "ENTJ" but still an "ENTJ".
Everyone on this plant has been type casted, you can believe it or not.
This is also a top ten favorite book of mine.

These are known as the Myers Briggs personality types and you can do online
tests for them these days.

What fun.

I just did a couple and, much to my surprise given that my responses were
very quick and dirty, they both said I was an ENTP. This is exactly the
personality type I was told all those years ago when I did a lot of
Management training. And it was one of the very few items of management
training that I thought was useful. I realised after I had done it why I
had always made sure I recruited someone who was a strong SJ for my area.
they liked doing the things I hated like the detailed garbage work and they
could always be relied upon to make sure I always kept an eye on deadlines
for my area.

I have a feeling most people on this news group are NT's. Into science
and how nature works. Other types tend to shy away from computers. Yes,
Myers Briggs was the original creator of the modern personality types.
David Keirsey like most scientist stood on her shoulders and made it
better.

In the past when looking for a good job, some places gave out
personality test. It was obvious most employers look for SJ's.
NT's minds tend to float from subject to subject, hard to focus.
However, SJ's and NT's tend not to get along. I like my current job, I
am by myself and as long as the work gets done, no complaints. I think
you are lucky to be the recruiter, otherwise you would not be employed
by your own standards.

If I was rich, I would become a hermit, tend my garden, run my
experiments and read my books and let the world go by and rot. Other
subjects I plan on reading are "Independence on five Acres" and "Quantum
Mechanics".

Enjoy Life ... Dan
