During my high school years, I was defined as a “Type A” personality because I was driven, goal motivated, competitive and often busy. It wasn’t until college that I learned that different psychological profiles have different ways of classifying people. Myers-Briggs offers 16 different ways to clas

We should all take this before getting married. Would help us know and understand our partners better!

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.

Myers-Briggs opened my eyes to the fact that people are identical in they react to situations, plan for the future, or where they get there energy from.


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.

The article wasn't talking about the genetic level, Christine. Let me quote the whole paragraph so you can see the sentence in context.

quote:

Myers-Briggs is a helpful tool when trying to understand why you and your family members do not think or act the same way. Myers-Briggs opened my eyes to the fact that people are identical in they react to situations, plan for the future, or where they get there energy from. Using the Myers-Briggs, you can identify the ways in which you differ from your family, and use that knowledge to maintain peace in the family.


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.
