The investment/payoff ratio is comparable to an orgasm.

I look at it that these labels were probably evaluated over and over before the research got released and this stuff became widely used. I am definitely ESTJ/ISTJ and reading the description of the Myers-Briggs types is interesting. The *NFP's don't describe me. Right, like reg said, when they use this to label you at work and HR/management makes it fairly public, then that's not cool. At the last firm I worked for, they did Emergenitcs profiling. There were 4 aspects: conceptual, social, analytical, structured. It's done so the 4 areas total 100%. A few of us got close to 25% on each of these, which is considered good. The head honcho and a widely disliked bitch in middle management got less than 5% and 5-10% on social, respectively. Oh yeah, people posted these on their doors or at the entrance to their cubicles. One guy with a 67% conceptual worked for me (he talked like a stoner, good material for imitations)...and he was worthless ... too 'effin conceptual to do the detailed work that was assigned to him. But to avoid getting him in trouble, I took back his incomplete work and completed it. The less than 5% prick that ran the place was Machiavellian to the point of diminishing returns. All of his most talented workers eventually left the firm. Not only that, he was self-righteous about his involvement in his parish and how many kids he had. So, yes, for this motley crew, the Emergentics profiling seemed to work. And the Myers-Briggs we are talking about probably works as well. Also, these are mostly used for career exploration in school/college...they shouldn't be doing these at work on people they've already hired, IMO.

Most of all...relax (easier said than done), take a deep breath, be professional, be yourself and congrats!

Well, you do live in

We talk about all kinds of meaningless crap in The Lounge - why not this? Everytime that the douche bag cleaning people come into our office and put in new toilet paper rolls, they place them so they dispense/roll from the bottom. It bugs the hell out of me, especially at a critical time. At home, the roll dispenses from the top. Virtually any household I've ever been to has the toilet paper dispense from the top of the roll. Does this irk you as well?

I've always wanted to go to Kings Island or Cedar Point in OH. They are known for having great coasters. Some people from grad school had organized some road trips to these places but I had to pass because, IIRC, I was going somewhere else for those days.

There were some late 70s/early 80s style that were just as clevagey. In fact, the whole get-up harkened to that look: Cherokee (LOL) wedge shoes, tight Jordache (LOL) jeans, v-neck t-shirts with capped sleeves...and Farrah Fawcett hair.* *I'll have to find a picture I think the level of boobage is about the same and, IF it is different, it IS because of plastic surgery, which is now consumed more and more by the rank and file. Where was this Six Flags / Great Adventure? (Six Flags recently filed for bankruptcy). I haven't gone on a loop coaster for at least a decade. Also, Great America (Santa Clara/San Jose) had a loop coaster (where your feet dangle) lock up on them while it had riders on it.

Definitely. I see. They would be on the same "axle."

I was thinking about the SAME question, but someone asked it. I am going to Costco tonight to rotate the tires on the '92 (260K). If they continue wearing at their slow rate, they might get me up to 285K or 290K. I'm NOT going to do the Costco $350 to push it to my intended 300K milestone. I'll start with tire stores, but I've rarely seen a matching set of 4 there.

I told a co-worker about this. He took it and got ESTJ ... no surprise there. All of my friends over the years have been in very practical occupations and were probably ESTJs or ISTJs. The website goes on to say how the *-NFP type complements the ESTJ or ISTJ type. I don't know about this. I would see it as a headache.

The general seat shape in 97-03 had flatter bolsters and was easier to get in and out of. For a medium-sized person, this was more comfortable, but the protuding bolsters of 04 and beyond annoyed me. The hollowed out-headreast was a sporty cue. I'll admit it's not comfortable, but I generally don't lean back into the headrest. It looked good, but it didn't look comfortable. The GP that just departed would have been much better and more successful if it blended: 97-03 front fascia 04-08 rear lights 97-03 seating config with filled-in headrests 04-08 dash and console design 97-03 dash and console workmanship (better, at least) 97-03 slightly taller roofline It was too polarizing.

I think that the design of the interiors was fine (shape of the dash/console) but that the craftsmanship/materials was not. The circular vents were kind of cool. I think that the 04+ seats were not comfortable, nor were they nicely finished..the prior gen had more comfortable and more nicely upholstered seating (they took a step back in 04)

as in "Neese" response to thread: France

You're talking 97-03 and not 04-08, right? That was a less polarizing car and they sold a lot of them. I've talked to people who have 97-03 GPs who really like them.

So, if you were in the market right now, which would you buy? (You've bought Fords before).

Just took it again...hadn't done this in about 6 months. It said ISTJ. Yeah, this is more like it, moving into I at +12, instead of E at +1. All I need is an "N" and I can be an architect. LOL.

Tierra del Fuego

I'm barely over on both E and S. I'm almost at midpoint, so I border on IN. The TJ never changes. Then why don't I like architects?

I vaguely remember those. If a car is forgotten, that's not good. Nobody forgets a 70s/80s Cutlass or Grand Prix or Camaro or Firebird. Wait. Isn't that the twin of the Mercury Zephyr at the time?

How about thanking ME for the boscaiola sauce recipe? LOL.
