Could you compare and contrast this system of personality mapping with the Meyers-Briggs system? Is one better than the other? Secondly, what is the point of knowing what personality type a person is? I mean, I know I'm an introverted person, but I also know that I am ultimately the one who decides how I should act in a situation. I guess what I'm saying is that it gets easy for someone to use this information as an excuse for bad behavior or poor judgment. I have a friend who makes impulsive decisions constantly and she always blames it on the fact that she is an emotional person. I think that is bogus, but I'd like to hear any thoughts you have on the subject. I'll take my answers off the air.
