Good stuff and an interesting discussion that seems to replicate itself on
other lists like the Training and Development List (TRDEV) and Teamnet,
both in the month of August.

Thought to contribute something that Jay Spitulnik sent to me that seems
to add a lot to this discussion. Interesting is the fact that the editors
of TRDEV said that it did not add to the discussion. More interesting is
the fact that these are graduate students in HRD that are so serious that
they just do not get it.

I think it fabulous and Jay nor I will claim any authorship:

Myers-Briggs Type-Prayers

At the risk of interjecting a little humor into the MBTI etc. discussion,

here in lovely Massachusetts, but he is not sure where Brad found them.
