    What's the fun of taking the quiz if you aren't honest with yourself... If I don't like the results I just won't share them. It's not like anyone really cares which mage you got... other than a momentary giggle. heh

    Down with MBTI. Get your pocket lynch mob from me for a reasonable price if you want to show what you feel about MBTI.

    The MBTI only wants angel customers. People who do not want more than a two function model... They will not move past that ...
