Yes that’s an interesting counterpoint to this thread isn’t it? We can congratulate ourselves on not being one of those “too-stupid-to-even-realize-how-stupid-they-are”, but on the other hand, you need some people to go out and take risk and try things, despite conventional “wisdom”.

It’s interesting to me this interplay of ignorance (perhaps sometimes willful) and its relationship to entrepreneurism and learning. You could even argue it has a bearing on creativity, because if you are letting perceived difficulties deter you from trying something then obviously your “creativity” is affected in that you aren’t creating.

Ignorance is good? Maybe Chutzpah is the proper term here.[/quote]

KSMountain,

I wonder if you have ever taken the Keirsey Temperament Sorter?

I did years ago and was supervised how well it identified many of my workplace behaviors.

I also think in the same way and tend to avoid the “reckless abandon” or “willful ignorance” that is part of that entrepreneurial spirit you were both describing.

I am also that guy who has to read the forums and specs for a month before I can buy something. Funny enough I come out as and ESTJ when taking the test.
