I suspect that your being a professional journalist, and therefore perhaps not writing in a style that would be natural to your type, would have a strong effect on the results.

But I find the general principles behind MBTI vastly more persuasive. It makes no sense at all that our temperament should be determined by our birth month, but it makes rather a lot of sense that people will favour either "judging" or "perceiving" (making decisions vs gathering more data), and as a result P's will tend to exhibit different personality traits vs the J's. Equally, it makes sense that one either mainly focuses on what is coming in from the senses (S), or blocks that out and tries to think in more abstract terms (N). Obviously people can be focused one way or another at any given time, but I found it enlightening to discover that there are many more people out there who favor S over N, because frankly, that explains a *lot*. I also like the way MBTI explains how the different types are likely to interract. On the whole it strikes me as a powerful and potentially useful theory.

Have a read of it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect Cheers Craig Hi Seth,

They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities. The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time. Er; I still still and work *all* day and I have trouble stopping a project to start a new one. And physical outdoor activities? The main one for me is flying! well, that sounds like you and a bit like me (when I feel lazy and ignore the social cues even though I can read them) but it marks my blog in a way that would have me howling with laughter if I didn’t have a stomach ache
