Adapting from one rare personality type to another ...

Reading an old blog post of a friend today, it reminded me that I hadn’t taken a personality profile in a long time. I’ve never been a fan of personality tests because they are so easily corruptible once you learn the differences between the questions. I’ve found the only ... Continue Reading
