I agree that no test can justly describe the makeup of
a person (Cover-Girl aside).

However, I took the Meyers-Briggs test and found the
				      ^-- (years ago)
resulting description of myself *incredibly* accurate.
My Dad had done the same and found that his description
was as accurate (I agreed).

They do speak in some generalities, but for the most
part we found ourselves reading words that told us
what we've been like as personalities.

No, it is not the end-all or be-all, but it is quite
interesting.  If anyone knows where I can find the
test automated via a conventional programming language,
I'd be most grateful.

	I had a "blind date" with a woman who was said
to have the same personality type as mine (ESFJ).  We
really got along as though we were old friends.  Sure,
it could have been just the common ground we already
shared (i.e. taking the test), but...
