For the listening audience, could you define CMC?  Thanks.


Also, this thread brings up the "need" in this newsgroup for complete
profiles of the 16 MBTI types.  Joe Butt has already provided one for,
I believe, INTJ, including famous people who appear to have that personality.
A very complete profile would include career choice tendencies for each
archetype based on statistical studies, as well as a description of the ideal
career/work environment.  Of course, we could "spice" up these profiles with
a description of the sexual/mating tendencies for each archetype, which is
always of interest to most people.  Anyway, these profiles can be put into
the MBTI summary that I have been assembling and which I have already posted
preliminary drafts to this newsgroup.

Come to think of it, maybe we can produce a "one-sheet" summary for each
archetype, wherein we write a short paragrphi description for various areas
of interest:  career, mating and sexuality, leadership, as children, famous
people representing this archetype, etc.  What areas in addition to the ones
list above should be included?


BTW, I've been lurking over in the rec.arts.startrek.current newsgroup and
it is full of interesting personality character studies - more so than in
most newsgroups I've encountered.  The most interesting is the thread about
Captain Picard being temporarily replaced by Captain Jellico while Picard is
on a secret commando-type mission.  Many in the newsgroup just hated Picard's
leadership style and found Jellico's style (the get it done- now! and quit
wimpering style) to be much preferred.  It is interesting how emotional the
posters get over something which is fiction, just a story.  I personally find
Picard's style preferable (being an INFJ), but have been afraid of voicing my
opinions there for fear of being ripped to shreds by the roaming XNTJ lions
who have quickly come to worship Captain Jellico as the savior of the
Enterprise (maybe I'm getting a little emotional myself :^)  ).  And the
thread about Troi being asked to wear a standard uniform by Jellico (rather
than her usual tight fitting uniform which shows substantial cleavage) is
also fascinating from the personality-of-the-poster viewpoint.  Have fun
over there.

Now, if you're just dying to know what INFJ stands for, be brave, e-mail me,
and I'll send you some information.  It WILL be worth the inquiry, I think.
