Allow me to share something with you that I personally find very interesting.
Last week, I participated in my workplace in a leadership training that I regard as one of the best I have attended so far in my roughly 25-year work life.
One very interesting part of that was to find out what kind of “personality” the participants are – how we interact with others, what is our approach to problem solving, what motivates us, which aspects of leadership we find challenging and what comes to us easily. This was done with a test called “Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI)” that is based on C.G. Jung’s psychological theory.
To make a long story short – I was impressed by the results and found them quite compelling. Ironically, the result was that my personality might actually be the exact opposite of the personality that my company would typically be regarding as most attractive for my job.
However, it got me thinking that this “personality type” also explains (to me) why it would make more sense to me to become vegan than to continue to use animals.
So … if any of you are interested to take a similar test and find out more about who and what you are (likely), the moderator who led the workshop shared with us a website where you can take such a test free of charge.
What I would find interesting is, if any of you would take that test, and share the result you achieved, whether the result would be that – as in most things – we vegans (and vegetarians) are a heterogeneous lot with few things in common, or if there was some kind of statistical relevance that some orientations might be more common among vegans and vegetarians than others.
Mind you, it is clear to me that with the limited number of people in this forum, there is little likelihood that those who are interested in taking such a test amount to anything approaching statistical relevance, but possibly some of you find it interesting![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So if you are interested in taking this test, take a look here (mind you, this test takes about 15 minutes):
If you want to share your responses, I have added a poll to the thread. Unfortunately the forum only allows for 12 answers, so I could not give all 16 different possibilities to select from.
Best regards,
Andy
BTW, there are actually already some discussions on this subject …

And this for a slightly more humorous take on the subject...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
