What Is The Validity Of The NT Tipid?

ersonality typing is a tool with many uses. It is especially notable for its helpfulness in the areas of growth and self-development. Learning and applying the theories of personality type can be a powerful and rewarding experience, if it is used as a tool for discovery, rather than as a method for putting people into boxes, or as an excuse for behavior.

In fact, I attract co-worker and my church member to confide in me. I enjoy the peace and quiet of having time to myself to reflect on my task at work and my progress throughout the day.
