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. "

"One example of the personality types drawn from the book is the champion idealist type (eNFps). The champion idealist is a worker who is outgoing when it comes to relating ideas to others. This can be a positive aspect of the personality as long as the person understands that others may want to voice their opinions and ideas as well. In addition the champion idealist is cooperative in accomplishing their goals and deadlines(Portrait of the Champion (eNFp)."

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
This paper discusses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, one of the most widely used tests for assessing personality characteristics for general non-psychiatric populations.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, developed by Katherine C. Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, and based on Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung's studies on psychological type, is a self-report inventory and objective assessment, which is not diagnostic in a psycho-pathological sense. The author describes Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator's sixteen possible personality types, which are based on the four primary ways people differ from one another in their perceptions of the world and the way they accept information. The paper presents many cases in which researchers, including those in the fields of psychology and social psychology, have used the Myers-Briggs assessment tool as a means of studying a specific hypothesis.
From the Paper
"Regardless of these scholars strong support for assessment systems, they could not convince corporations of their need. Proven connections did not exist between personality type and job success. However, a couple of decades later, Katherine C. Briggs tried again by using Jungian psychology as the rationale. Unlike others before him during the late 1800s and early 1900s, Jung saw patterns of behavior. He said psychological types are consistencies in the way people prefer to perceive and make judgments. In Jung's theory, all conscious mental activity could be classified into four mental processes: two perception processes of sensing and intuition and two judgment processes of thinking and feeling. The senses and intuition perceptions are relied on to sort, weigh, analyze and evaluate through the judgment processes of thinking and feeling."

Blood Type in Relation to Personality Dimensions, 2002.
Looks at traditional ideas of blood type theories of personality and the need for these theories to be acknowledged by the western world.

Abstract
Lack of sufficient interest among western psychologist in blood type theories of personality has left the topic to be influenced by traditional belief. This paper shows that although this belief is widespread in Japan, where research findings do not support a relationship between blood types and personality traits, western evolutionary psychologists have given a new dimension to it by linking blood types with evolution of human civilization and dietary practices. Future research on relationship between blood type and personality needs to consider individuals' expectation, prejudice, and attitude to discrimination.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the field of education and the field of technology have both experienced changes and demands in recent history. The world of education has been undergoing significant transformations, as well, and it was only a matter of time until the two areas interlocked. The paper discusses how distance learning has become common place in many areas of America and is currently under scrutiny as a viable option to the delivery of education. Whether the option is used at the elementary, high school, or college level, there are many programs available and a lot of focus on their successes and failures. It explains how distance learning promotes a lot of advantages, including space saving, flexible hours and the ability to take classes without having to attend a classroom on a regular basis. The paper addresses the fact that this type of education may not suit everyone, and a concern has developed that students are signing up for distance learning without having the personality traits to succeed in its forum. This study proposal addresses the issues of personality types, learning styles, and other factors that are involved in education. The study proposal tries to determine what personality types are best suited to distance learning.
From the Paper
"The field of education in America is expanding. The world of technology is improving every day. The two fields met in the middle years ago and have merged to produce a forum for education delivery through the use of technology. This was done in the form of distance learning. Distance learning is the method used to deliver education through the use of technology. There are also course offered through traditional mail avenues but the majority of distance learning at this point in time is delivered through the use of computers."

Abstract
The paper reveals that genetic predisposition to Type 1 diabetes alone cannot explain the overall rate of increase of this disease among children. The paper proposes three research methods in which the lifestyle backgrounds of parents with children who have Type 1 diabetes can be addressed. The paper explains that the purpose of this research is to identify a methodology that best assesses the parents' lifestyle choices to see if there is evidence of behaviors that may influence the onset of Type 1 diabetes in children.
Outline:
Introduction
Statement of the Problem
Purpose of the Paper
Part I: Qualitative Case Study Method
Part II: Qualitative Action Research Method
Part III: Qualitative Critical Literature Review Method
From the Paper
"Research into diabetes in children is a health care issue, a family care issue, and can emerge into a social issue if the child's status as a diabetic affects his or her personal health outcomes (Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2002; American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006). Incidences of Type 2 diabetes have increased dramatically over the last three decades due to environmental factors that predispose adults, adolescents, and children to acquire a disease typically referred to as "adult-onset diabetes" (American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006). However, Type 1 diabetes has been almost exclusively linked to genetic factors in humans, as this is a genetic disease that is passed along from the parents to the child within the child's genome (American Diabetes Association, 2006; Becker & Goldfine, 2006; Eppens et al, 2006)."

Triangular Type A Reorganizations, 2002.
A paper discussing Triangular Type A Reorganizations covering key aspects, advantages, disadvantages, tax consequences and three current cases.
2,433 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 74.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper defines Type A Reorganization as a statutory merger or consolidation and can be what is termed a forward or reverse triangular merger. It explains that it falls under the category of "acquisitive" reorganizations. Two corporations execute a merger under state law, with shareholders or the target company exchanging target company stock for stock of the acquiring company. The paper covers several issues pertaining to Triangular Type A Reorganizations, including its relation to the I.R.S. and its advantages and disadvantages. The paper also studies three current cases of Triangular Type A Reorganizations: the Comcast-AT&T Broadband merger, Exxon/Mobile, and Chevron/Texaco.
From the Paper
"As with any type of acquisition and merger, there are advantages and disadvantages to all involved parties. In light of the proposed regulations and other recent guidance from the IRS, taxpayers may soon be able to take advantage of the more liberal tax rules of Section 368(a)(1)(A) without compromising many of the business advantages (i.e., having to deal only with target shareholder approval of the merger and being able to hold the target business in a separate legal entity) of a reverse triangular or forward triangular structure. For example, an acquiring company may create a merger subsidiary (S) and a disregarded entity (DRE) and merge S into a target in a reverse triangular merger. The acquirer may then merge S into DRE and the step transaction doctrine should apply to treat the integrated steps as a direct merger of the target into the acquirer."

Abstract
The 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) is discussed in this paper. Firstly, a full examination of its form (materials, shapes, patterns, scale, color) and its function are explained. The paper then provides a brief look at background information that addresses the design principles from the stylistic period in which it originates. Thereafter the paper traces the historical influences within the automotive field that help shape the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993). The paper looks at other influences on the design of the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) from the design of planes and submarines from the same time period. Finally, the paper presents a personal critique on the design including how its form functions. The paper includes pictures.
From the Paper
"The 911 is the signature and most recognizable Porsche ever to be designed. It has been on the market for over 30 years, has encompassed over 50 different models and it is still counting . The 911, initially called the 901 but soon after changed because Peugeot had patented all 3 digit combinations with zero in the middle , was originally designed in 1963 to replace the first Porsche ever designed, the 356. The 1948 356 Roadster will be used, along with the 1963 Porsche 911, to conduct a diachronic analysis on the design influences present on the 1995 911 Porsche (Type 993). The Type 993 was very consistent in its production between 1993 and 1996 with only minor adjustments to some components, therefore the 1995 edition of the Porsche 911 (Type 993) was chosen for the design project examination. The synchronic analysis will focus on relating how both the overall line and components of the Type 993 911 relate to aerodynamic/hydrodynamic design of planes and submarines. As for the components that will be analyzed, they will include the integrated headlamps compared to train engines and the rear-spoiler to the tail fin of fish."

A Look at the Three Types of Organization Systems, 2008.
An explanation of the three types of organization systems.
1,791 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains the three types of organization systems: the natural system, the rational system, and the open system. The paper begins by offering a sociological definition of the concept of organization and then describes the aforementioned organization systems and, in so doing, compares and contrasts each of them. The author concludes that the natural system, because it treats workers better and appreciates their needs, is the best theoretical construct to be pursued in practice by management types.
From the Paper
"Before proceeding too far, it is necessary to find out what is meant by the term, "organization". Finding a good - and succinct - sociological definition is quite difficult, but it appears as though an organization can be defined as an artificial, rational construction governed by policies and regulations that is also formulated with the intent of achieving some goal or objective. Going further, recent generations of sociologists have insisted that organizations are not simply formal creations bound by formal rules, but informal entities bound by informal internal cultures that can sometimes get in the way of pre-established blueprints (for a brief discussion of what the word "organization" appears to mean to sociologists, please see, "Organizations as Human and Social Systems II," 145). In a real sense, organizations are a hybrid of the rigid and the formulaic, and the dynamic and human."

Peer Reinforcement and Punishment of Sex-typed Behaviors in Children, 2003.
An analysis of research on sex-typed behavior in children from a behavior analytic perspective. Reviews a number of studies done on this subject and interprets them using behavior analytic concepts.

Abstract
A number of studies on sex-typed behaviors in children are summarized and analyzed using concepts from the psychological perspective of behavior analysis. Specifically, peer reinforcement and punishment of sex-typed behaviors is examined. It is argued that peers are an important factor in the socialization of children into gender-specific roles and that most gender differences are not innate, but rather are formed through the mechanisms of reinforcement and punishment.
From the Paper
"The question of how children learn to behave in gender-specific ways is one for which many different explanations have been offered. There are evolutionary psychological, social-cognitive, and numerous other approaches. In this paper, I will address this issue from a behavior analytic perspective. By applying the principals of behaviorism, the processes by which children learn gender-appropriate behavior can be better understood. Specifically, I will investigate how peers reinforce and punish sex-typed behaviors in children, and how different behavior analytic concepts can help explain the results of some of the studies done in this field."

Blood Type and Personality, 2004.
Examines whether blood type determines one's personality.
822 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The question as to whether blood type affects or determines the personality of an individual has been studied for many years, and the conclusions of the various researchers, both in the U.S. and abroad, are, to say the least, ambiguous. By examining additional evidence and facts taken from several dependable sources, this paper argues that an individual's personality is in no way affected or determined by blood type.
From the Paper
"Of course, the most powerful scientific tool that completely eliminates any possibility of a link between blood type and personality is the transfusion of blood from one person to another, usually through donations to the Red Cross. In this procedure, blood is taken either from a donor or from blood stored in the hospital which now undergoes extremes in testing and evaluation. If the theory of blood type and personality is correct, then when a person receives a blood transfusion from another person, it only makes sense that the person getting the blood would acquire some of the personality traits of the donor. However, due to scientific fact, this is not possible, for the personality lies in the brain, not in the blood. Thus, the idea of personality being linked with blood type is simply a superstition from ancient times and can be compared to several other "pseudo-sciences," such as phrenology (studying the bumps on people's heads to determine personality), astrology and numerology."

Abstract
Businesses can be of many types and forms. When choosing a particular type of business it is important to keep in mind what the goals and objectives are that the entrepreneur wants to achieve. The paper shows that a small personal business may be in form of a proprietorship or a partnership, while an organizational form of business would be in form of a private limited company or a public limited company. The three forms of businesses discussed in this paper are: Sole trader,
private limited company (Ltd.) and public limited company (PLC).
From the Paper
"Corporations are totally independent legal entities. They have limited liability, meaning their owners are not individually liable and do not have to use personal assets to pay off business debts, apart from the personal assets they invest in the business. A corporation also carries on indefinitely regardless of the death of an owner, director or officer of the business. In some countries Limited Liability Partnerships may be created which have many similarities to a partnership, but have limited liability."

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator Assessment, 2008.
This paper describes and evaluates the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
1,240 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 42.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the format of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which is based on the Jungian theory that there are 16 personality types, is an assessment tool that explores an individual's personality by using 94 questions. The author points out that the MBTI has been used by individuals and groups of all ages for such tasks as assisting people in understanding themselves and choosing careers and assisting teachers and counselors in understanding their students' learning styles and group matching. The paper states that research indicates that the MBTI is useful as a tool that evaluates the person's personality at the time that the assessment is given but that the results of the assessment may change over time. The paper includes a chart and quotation.
From the Paper
"Gibson (2001) discusses the use of the MBTI by teachers and counselors to determine the students that will most effectively work together in groups. Gibson (2001) suggests that group work in the classroom is often ignored or avoided by teachers because it is found to be both frustrating and time consuming for students. The inability of some students to work with one another causes difficulties within the group and ultimately hinders the progress of the group in completing the assignment."
