Phil --
It was like the Kuder preference profile from our youth --
"Quick, which would you prefer -- to throw the ball,
swing the bat, or chase the fly?" No room for
the possibility that you'd like to pitch but know
you hit better, or would prefer to be the ump, or
don't care and would rather juggle tennis balls, or
read sci fi.
No need to wish ill of the authors, though. Those
poor folks suffer sufficiently from their lack of
imagination.

Hi Candace,
The questionaire your Link goes to...
IS 'interesting, of for me, tragically and
sadly...
Reminds me so much of "why" I hated school unto
the verymost nucleus of every cell of my body...

Does anyone else 'see' the 'problem' with, and
intrnsic TO, "these" kinds-of 'tests' or
questionaires?
Does anyone else 'see' what is going on here?
