Noted Elsewhere:
The other day, on an exceptionally slow Friday afternoon with little to do, my friend and I were bullshitting in my cube. We were talking about things as varied as problems with Linux installation, Halloween plans, crude sexual humor, astrology, and on and on. After all, we were bored, and half the office was out anyway. Topic led into topic, and we were discussing some of the recent training courses and classes we had taken, including such droll ones as business communication and assertiveness strategies.

Method of making decisions: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Method of living life: Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
