Hi Lynn:

I took that test a while ago on his website, and forgot all about it!

Thanks for reminding me.

Best Wishes,

I recommend taking the full MBTI, if you can. Abbreviated versions

don't do it justice. Jung's work is complex, the MBTI attempts to

simplify it, further attempts to simplify it can ... mislead people.

In my years of working with the MBTI, I have come across numbers of

people that have been mis-typed and the results can range anywhere

from frustrating to catastrophic.

Where does one find the whole version? and in what way can it be catastrophic? I

found the simplified version too " simple " for me to put much stock in it. Ann

Thanks for mentioning this, Lynn. The counselor is an important part

of the process. I happen to be qualified to administer and interpret

the MBTI. It's a hobby and a passion of mine since I stumbled across

it years ago. I don't like the on-line versions.

BTW, it's quite common for INFP personality types to take more of an

interest in personality type theory than other types.
