My goal was to create a crude illustration of the characteristics of an
LO, and to that end succeeded. Thanks to the 15 people who responded, I
have some answers and there was generally strong agreement among people.
Below are the items, and the X(s) represent the middle 60% of the folks.

Yes these are crude, but anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. We
can all add polish to this as we see fit. The basic terms were taken from
John Holland (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising,
Conventional) MBTI (Outward looking, Inward looking, Intuitive, Grounded,
Thinking, Feeling), Leary et. al (Contol, Hierarchy) and the NEO-PIR
(Openness)
