The Myers Briggs Personality Indicator


According to the Myers Briggs Indicator, we have 16 personality types. If we knew our personality type, we might better understand ourselves and others.

The article also delves into the Bush personality, which may give some insight into the current world situation.

Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken. Defeat strips away false values and makes you realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold. William Moulton Marston

An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.
~Pam Brown

There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you.

Vietnam Vet Inspired By Jerry Autry

The above comments were sent to JA's hometown newspaper(special thanks to Andrew Womble Jr. of Hampton, Va. for sending in his comments to the Daily Record). JA felt the comments were so gracious, a response was needed...

I knew this was an unbelievably difficult time for soldiers. I had pretty much finished my tour and was soon to go home. Here this young trooper was just beginning his during the hardest time in Vietnam-the fighting and surviving was tough. Knowing this, I realized I had to be soothing to fire these guys up.

What to do?

Milling around, I hit on music and heard this song by Roger Miller called, "You Can't Rollerskate In A Buffalo Herd." It was great. I made up a skit. As I was talking and telling them that they were all going to make it, I would stop and say listen to this: I had these large loud speakers and they would blast out the song for miles. The guys would like a little puzzled at first, but they soon got fired up.

The local commander tried to get me to quit using the song as he said, It disturbed people and I remember telling him, "Oh yeah, it disturbs people so they might quit fighting, right?" Looking back, this was such a fond and humorous memory in such a difficult time. JA


“You Can't Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd” By Roger Miller

Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it

Well, ya can't go a-swimmin' in a baseball pool
Ya can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool
Ya can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

Ya can't change film with a kid on your back
Ya can't change film with a kid on your back
Ya can't change film with a kid on your back

But you can be happy if you've a mind to

Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down do it, do it, do it

Well, ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
But you can be happy if you've a mind to

Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
SPOKEN: "Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd"

FADE Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
