As a test run, take the evaluation again and answer "undecided" for EVERYTHING. You should come out as 0% for each of the four categories if 0 is dead-center between the two extremes.

OK, I am also an INTJ. I 19%, N 6%, T 41%, J 22% Given that I had a career as a Systems Administrator, Systems Analyst, and Systems Programmer, the #1 career choice indicated for INTJ types. computer programming and engineering, is no particular surprise.

Hmmm... 3D printers that can even replicate themselves? I'm in the wrong business. I need to invest in the one thing that can't be just "printed" out of the blue... printer cartridges.

While I don't actually disagree with you, Bee, the problem is that any politician who has been elected from a district WILL have some affinity with at least some constituents.

Some of them may think so. The Clintons have gotten away with so many fringe illegalities and non-fringe crimes that they remind me of Teflon. Nothing seems to stick. We had a governor in Louisiana named Edwin Edwards. He served two terms, waited out a term, and served two more terms. The...

Ever since the advent of "political correctness" there has been a disregard for truth.

The feeding frenzy of the Democrats is such that they are ready to ignore other issues in order to tear apart the Mueller report for even the tiniest shred of possible evidence that would allow them to destroy President Trump.

Bee, the problem is that the liberal Democrats see every attempt at tightening up election laws as an attack on their typically low-turnout disaffected voter base. Personally I don't see a problem with requiring proof of citizenship but the liberals treat it like it would be the end of the...

For us it is supposed to be level but there have been a few confirmed cases of not so level. Some years ago in the city of Chicago, some dead voters were confirmed to have gotten up from their graves to vote for a particular mayoral election. At least that's the only rational explanation...

Without getting into the Anthropogenic Global Warming debate here (because that horse has already been beaten pretty badly in the Access World Forums thread), I'll say that some things make sense anyway. Reducing the carbon footprint doesn't always mean literally reducing your own carbon...

The progress IBM has made with Watson is a matter of collecting dimensions and generating statistics to develop correlation relationships. They interviewed oncologists who made a diagnosis to determine WHY they made a diagnosis, to try to winnow out the source of that "gut feeling" that drives...

What keeps it pumping after you finish the printing process? Why would it be alive? If you ever watched the old Star Trek: The Next Generation series, you would remember that more than once they wrestled with definitions of life forms that were excluded by standards of traditional life forms...

Any attempt to level the playing field based on ability develops a potential source of unrest. The French and Russians overthrew egalitarian governments one or more centuries ago. I am glad to say that all of the Deep South (USA) states have finally given up on things like the poll tax as a...

Better than learning that one of my constants is variable.

In the USA, we usually try to apply the rule that you have to have skin in the game. To vote, you generally must be a properly registered citizen. There are some exceptions for local-issue elections, but to vote for the presidency and Congress, you need to be a citizen. We do not make the...

By the current definition of life, no. It cannot reproduce itself by parthenogenesis. You can't put two calculators in a dark drawer and come back later to find a third, tiny calculator. If you turn it off, it doesn't respond to other external stimuli. Also, saying "your pocket calculator is...

The AI bot has no wisdom that it didn't get from another source. For instance, IBM's "Watson" project is an AI that does some truly amazing things. If you give it medical info, it makes diagnoses to the same level of accuracy as a live, experienced physician. In particular, I hear it is good...

Sad but true that even an accent sets you apart. The Deep South accent (web search "Jeff Foxworthy" and just listen) makes some folks think you are "goobers" (a little nut). Which is why I learned a long time ago to slide my accent around. I was born and grew up in the greater New Orleans...

I think I'll take the other side of that debate, but I have to agree that racism stems from an instinctive behavior. Back in the day when we were not yet evolved to primates (i.e. we were still lizard-brains), the dinosaurs protected their nests against any and all that were different. When we...

Jon, as stated before, I understand the result. I know it has been shown. The problem I don't understand is how the redistribution of probabilities appears to be asymmetrical when there is no obvious reason for it. The fact that it is better to switch has been demonstrated. But I am seeking...
