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 see you can just take this online which I find interesting. Is this something where you get to the end and have to pay a bunch of fees to see what the scores mean? If it’s relatively cheap I should take it I can’t recall. It’s time for a little self-reflection…

To bring this back on topic; did the 700 generation not know what they should have known but they could not have known because they have not known it any other way in their country?[/quote]

Hmm, they should have realized that the government that was providing early retirement to hairdressers because of the hazarduous conditions of their employment wouldn’t be able to maintain it?

I don’t think that’s a 700 problem, I think that is all the dole takers are just kicking the can down the road. Cali will have the same problem. Fundamentally, the State, whether Cali or Greece, will not be able to afford retirements at 55 at 100% or more of their base payment because of overtime.

Think about it, if you retire at 55 you are looking at 30 years of retirement. Thirty years of work, thirty years of retirement. Basically, that means their real pay is 2X their listed pay.

I just took the online test, I am apparently an idealist. All the various reports come to $39, I might purchase. Within the idealist setting the reports are supposed to tell me whether I am a Teacher, Counselor, Champion or Healer.

Given my outstanding record as Little League Manager and being seen as one of the more knowledgeable, open and sharing swing mechanics gurus in north county, I might guess teacher. Hard to say unless I pay up.
