Journey to Monz!
Yesterday one of the editors went on a journey of self-discovery. No, not that -- get your mind out of the gutter! He went to a two hour seminar to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. Or at least that was the plan. Dear reader, imagine yourself in a small grammar school classroom with five other gee..lost souls, and an elderly woman whose idea of "teaching" is to mumble through some handouts on personality types and toss out asides like "now my sister, she's an extrovert." Imagine it's a night of kick-ass television. Imagine yourself, after taking and scoring the thing, forcing the teacher to give you your official explanation book and handouts NOW because your, cough-cough, not feeling too well, and skipping out while the five envious gee...lost souls look at you with envy and disgust! Woo-hoo!
So what is the editor's type? Who cares, what's Monz type?! We gave Monz a more efficient version of the test and discovered that he is an INTJ: Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking and Perceptive (as opposed to extroverted sensing feeling judging). And now we have proof of something we already knew: Monz is a rare soul! Only 1% of the population is an INTJ. Officially INTJ's "have original minds and great drive for implementing their ideas and achieving their goals. Quickly see patterns in external events and develop long-rante explanatory perspectives. When committed, organize a job and carry it through. SKEPTICAL AND INDEPENDENT, they have high standards of competence and performance -- for themselves and for others."
We'll have more on this tomorrow, but for now you are probably asking "so, what does an INTJ have for lunch?" Spaghetti special from Calluta's, what else?
