Abstract
Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging (ISTJ)

From the Paper:

"And I really like Kroeger and Thuesen's "typewatching" idea, because we all have to live together, we are a country of many diverse ethnic types, and so why not try to approach each other with dignity, respect, and understanding of differences? That's how I was brought up to live, and the more I see and hear and understand how violent and chaotic this world has become, the more I want to be a good and generous friend and colleague to everyone as much as I possibly can be. A scary statistic is brought up on page 8 of Type Talk at Work; the fact that $150 billion is lost each year by American companies because of stress in the workplace (people take time off or fail to be efficient on the job). And it also sent shivers down my spine to read (8) that surveys show 43 percent of U.S. workers say "lying, putting on a false face, and doing whatever it takes to make a buck" is ok. I am not that way at all. "
