  1. hey, very balanced and interesting conversation. I like that while you're talking about the use and implications of the meyers briggs typologies you also acknowledged the criticisms of the entire meyers briggs system. I also thought related the types in question to various fictitious and well known figures/characters was a great way to drive the point home.

    I do have one complaint though, I listen on a non-ipod and therefore using itunes to download your show is kinda a pain in my ass. Any chance of getting you to post your RSS feed so I can subscribe on my native device?
