Snitched from katyakoshka:

According to The Meyers-Briggs Thingie Index:

Your personality type is ENTJ.

Extroverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Intuitive (N) 59% Sensing (S) 41%
Thinking (T) 70% Feeling (F) 30%
Judging (J) 50% Perceiving (P) 50%

I'm not certain if it's medicine head & sinus pain, or just plain apathy and "maturity" that has my nominal proclivity for wider variance blunted, but with a pair of 50/50 splits, that leaves me sporting, essentially, four equally valid response vectors (INTP, INTJ, ENTP, and ENTJ).

Perhaps the constants, rather than the variables, are what I should be paying attention to in this instance.

Actually, I think I'll pay some attention to a packet of Turkey Pepperoni and a cup of coffee at the moment, and try to figure out a way to avoid spinning off on technical tangents on the "Computers for Morons" primer I've been hacking on.

i always come out either INTP or INTJ, usually the former.

so we're either half the same, 75% the same, or completely the same?

whose turn is it to worry about things like that? *G*

Footnotes or endnotes are your friend. For those that are curious and merely ignorant, that'll allow them to follow up on the tangent. For the dummies that are struggling along, they won't read 'em and get further confused.

Either that or use the note hook to instead reference your *other* book, The Tangents Explained.

yeah, i think footnotes are going to be prevalent. i just have visions of it turning out like certain pages of Cosmos, where the footnotes took up a third of the page.

i seem to have adopted and/or evolved a writing style heavily reliant upon parenthetical phrases, both as asides and as emphasis or explanation.

I think damn near every geek ends up with a parenthesis-heavy
writing style unless she actively focuses on not doing so.
I often find myself nesting the damn things two and three layers deep,
then counting them all to ensure that I've got the nesting right.

indeed. and both of us seem to have botched closing an italics tag. *g*
