Yep. I love your WILL to explain. As far as i'm concerned this explanation sort of ties in with the whole Myers-Briggs thing i've recently gotten interested in. Perhaps you can help me out on this little quest of mine. Who, do you think, has written well (without the WILL to obfuscate) about the idea of personality? I used to avoid the subject because of its inherent superficiality or staleness. But the last couple of days I want to say something about it, and am looking for a head start.
I have learnt a lot of the new. Thanks.
