    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    Interesting idea. I wonder how they can then decide if you are E or I, and so on.

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    That must mean I am a super-nerd then. And I am only 25% judgey. :oops:

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    Bee, based on the Doc's answers, I want to question your assertion that 53% means I am close to the middle, i.e. approximately halfway between E and I. For Doc, he was still an I on 19%. Yet I was an I on 53%. Based on your comment, wouldn't that mean that the Doc would be an E if 50% was the...

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    Interesting, since I was a programmer too. I did a sales job for 10 years but I never felt it played to my strengths.

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    I think it would have benefited from having 3 points on the continuum, rather than 2. e.g. I am an introvert, but only just at 53%. Does this mean that I am on a E - I continuum at 3% past the halfway point? Or am I 53% to the right of the centre, or roughly 75% on a E to I continuum? I'm a...

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    I took the Myers-Briggs test today, or rather one of the free spin offs available online. This is the second time I have taken the test, but the last time was over 5 years ago, I can't find my results and I have evolved since then anyway. So, my results were: INTJ Here are the specfiics...

    The Mueller Report

    Trump or Hillary...I consider that quite binary! With limited resources, I think much of it is not so much about whether any money goes towards a particular cause, but how much. Divert away from defence to the NHS, or the other way, for example. I think in the future it may all become a mute...

    Are politicians above the law?

    I agree with you. In fact there was a well known movie about climate change called, "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. But there is a certain irony about it in that he jet-sets around the world and 'A new analysis by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that Gore's Tennessee...

    The Mueller Report

    When many decisions are binary, it is hard to collaborate. But even worse, when they are out to get Trump, it doesn't matter if they previously agreed with the policy. Schiff and co. voted several times under the Obama administrations for more money to fund for border fencing, but when Trump...

    The Mueller Report

    I must say the extreme divide in America along political lines reminds me of the extreme divide in the UK along Brexit lines.

    Are politicians above the law?

    I won't go on about Hillary again. Oh wait, I just did! Let me pivot to Diane Abbott. She is the shadow Home Secretary in the UK, and was caught recently drinking a mojito on the London Underground, which is breaking the law. She has now "Sincerely apologised" for her misdemeanor. She didn't...

    Debate - There's no such thing as Racism

    I think it is hard to establish the truth over whether racism is learned behaviour or innate. The backlash for tackling any scientific experiments about racism that does not give the "correct" answer, ironically leads to accusations of racism against the scientists themselves. I can hear them...

    The Mueller Report

    Is the Mueller report, now released, the "truth"? Or is it just one side of a biased story?

    Should voting be weighted by testing knowledge beforehand?

    He should consider himself lucky that he wasn't run over on the way to the polling booth.

    Should voting be weighted by testing knowledge beforehand?

    I vote the opposite of what I believe to prove my concept. [Runs for cover + tin hat.]

    Incentives for a low carbon footprint

    It is all very well the political elite telling us to cut our footprint while travelling around in jets to spread the message, just like Al Gore does. But if we curtail our freedoms to make our environmental impact less, while others do not, then this could encourage tit-for-tat approaches. "I...

    The wisdom of crowds - true or false?

    We have no wisdom that didn't come from another source either, hence we go to school, learn by experience etc. You could argue that the collective wisdom, or the whispers of ten thousand generations in your DNA is your own source, but that DNA came from your parents! I know the police have...

    Are computers alive?

    Ok, what about if you 3D print a pumping heart. Is that life?

    Should voting be weighted by testing knowledge beforehand?

    You might be right Bee. How about a voting system where the poor and underprivileged have greater weight applied to their vote, to level the field?
