It would have been more helpful if you'd supplied a link to a Myers Briggs assessment test as a point of reference where people could try it.

Don't you mean NOT identical?

Hmmmm, actually I saw a quick ad for a show called...something like the world's family tree, or some such thing.  It said that on the gene level (I think) we are all 99.9% identical.  Sorry for being so vague.  If I catch the ad again I'll try to clear it up.  It's on either Nat Geo or the Discovery channel every soon, should be interesting.

It doesn't make sense for that to be "are" instead of "aren't" when you read with the preceding or following sentences that it's sandwiched between.

Sounds like a good show.
