My Aunt Alcidis paid me an unexpected visit from Moonstone, Nebraska. Aunt Alcidis is rather flighty and full of fanciful notions. She's always preparing raw foods, testing people's auras, reading their astrological charts, and making them take personality tests. Well, I say that we should all forget the Jung Typology (i.e. Myers-Briggs) Test, I say, and all its flaky ilk like the Enneagram and the Eat Right For Your Type methods. I've developed a personality test far superior to anything else in terms of the scientific approach, the socio-economic implications, not to mention a deep understanding of demographics of ambiguous produce. Presenting
THE LYERS-PRIGS TEST

The answer is "C". If I answer "C" to all of them, I am at least 50% likely to have most of them right.
Oh, I'll definitely do it pal. I just have to wait until I get home.
Well, so far I've got Ulric's and Friday's answers. Nonny still has to work on her questionaire. I'm surprised others haven't chimed in. Don't you want to know what your personality type is? Stay posted.
Oh my word. This will take me week to finish. (My brain is the size of a plump raisin you know.)
My answer is "No" to every statement which I guess must make me a warm-hearted, well-balanced, sane and entirely normal human being.
I am all the answers that are rude, insensitive, and irresponsible. I am very mature for a gorilla.

Alec Wysoker, you were supposed to email me your responses! The fact that you cannot follow simple directions immediately places you firmly in the REBL category.
