Wikipedia gives a detailed explanation of the MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TEST. Basically, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories originated by Carl Gustav Jung, as published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923). The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers. They began creating the indicator during World War II, believing that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time identify the sort of war-time jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective". The initial questionnaire grew into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which was first published in 1962. The MBTI focuses on normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences.
Some academic psychologists have criticized the MBTI instrument in research literature, claiming that it "lacks convincing validity data."Proponents and sellers of the test cite unblinded anecdotal predictions of individual behavior, and claim that the indicator has been found to meet or exceed the reliability of other psychological instruments. For most adults (75–90%), though not for children, the MBTI is reported to give the same result for 3–4 preferences when the test is administered to the same person more than once (although the period between measurements is not stated). Some studies have found strong support for construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, although variation was observed.

Have a nice day!

Dear readers,
My blog does not seem to be able to upload properly and the white part of the body remains pink. Pardon my cluelessness in html codes. I have had to delete 4 posts including:
* It's tough to be a dog these days
* The beauty of Hokkaido
* A hilarious look at creation and food
* Orange festival in Netherlands
This is due to conflicting html codes as indicated by feedburner.
I am not sure if this problem is because of streamyx speeds or due to my template but if it persists, I will have to change the template. I suspect it is due to the template because my other blogs seem to be alright.
If anyone can help, please let me know by leaving a comment. Thanks and have a lovely evening.

Cat-from-Sydney Purr...isn't laughter the best medicine? We inherit the ability to see humour in everything from Mama. She would sometimes take us to dog shows just for the heck of it, she said....We were, of course, safe in our carriers lest the dogs think we're dinner! meow meow meow...are you allergic to dogs too?

Unknown Hi Cat-in-Sydney,
Wow - you are very brave to go to dog shows and your Mama must love you very much to take you there and to protect you with her life!! I am allergic to long-haired dogs like silky terriers or Shih-Tzus but am ok with Jack Russells or Chihuahuas :-).
Initially, I was allergic to hamsters for 6 months and I got very sick. In the end, I could not keep my hammies in the house but outside so I recovered :-).
Take care...By the way, are you Brad or the others or do you speak en bloc ???
Meowish cheers!

Anonymous And another thing, I couldn't get those recent posts with slides loaded fully. Keeps getting hung. Am wondering if it's a fault with the SCREAMY-X connection.. getting onto the Net and surfing has been agonising over the last two days.

Unknown Dear Andrea,
Yes, you are right. It's got to do with the screamyx tortoise speed :-(. I deleted four of those posts - a real pity cos some of them were a scream. If I had your email address, I'd send them to you for a good laugh.
Mine is cocklesofmyheart@gmail.com
Indeed surfing is a nightmare and I was shopping for an alternative wi-max/mobile broadband provider and the prices are horrendous! That's the problem with monopolies.
Take care!
