Judah – Fabulous use of this modern phenomenon to describe and explore the temperaments, as well as some flavor of the introverted and extraverted aspects of the cognitive functions. Really glad Allan filmed you so I could see your whole being involved in the presenting! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting example. I think it would be worlds better if, instead of inviting BM folks to the APT event, the APT were to plan “Type Camp” at next year’s BM event…

I also like the emphasis on how it takes all types to build a village. Too many modern social structures are built to meet the needs of the few, not all, because the few are designing them. This is a great example of how diversity can bring great things!!
