They have 6 or 8 different categories, and you come out stronger on one of two values within each category. For instance, one category is people-oriented versus task-oriented. Another is time-oriented versus event-oriented.

I would really like to see that. It sounds very interesting. Let me know if you find it on the web, or can e-mail it to me.

Still looking for that thing. I know it's used by a lot of people and agencies so I'm surprised it's not more prominent and easy to find.

Do you ever listen to NPR? I used to listen a lot when I was a liberal and naive. Now I only listen occasionally and find one of the safest times to listen is on Saturday mornings. Car Talk with Click and Clack is as funny as ever. And the show that follows it (I can't think of the name or the host's name now) is usually worth listening to while I'm out delivering mail.

But today I turned it on and almost had to barf. That show had Al Franken on and were pretty much letting him just blab on and on while the audience was really behind him in all of his Bush-bashing and Fox news/Bill O'Reilly bashing. It was pretty bad and I couldn't take much of it.

Last week they aired a show taped during the 2000 Election standoff and they seemed very apolitical or neutral, but had lots of references to the recounts that were going on. But they sure showed their true colors today with Al Franken on.

Butting in to your 2 way conversation:

The test Mr. M described made me immediately think of the Briggs/Meyer (or Myer?) testing popular in the Corporate World 15-20 years ago.

The test was most typically used, I believe, to test Jr Execs to place them in an area where their strongest talents lied.

LOL. I did a quick google search and found this list of stuff:

Since I've already displayed my senility tonite, I am comfortable leaving my info at the beginning of this post as I originally typed it.

I can't find the questionnaire, but here's the book it comes from in case you ever run across it.
