"CAN YOU SAY IT ANOTHER WAY?"

by Fannie R. Linder, Psy.D.


"When people differ, a knowledge of type lessens friction and eases strain.  In addition, it reveals the value of differences.  No one has to be good at everything.  By developing individual strengths, guarding against known weaknesses, and appreciating the strengths of the other types, life will be more amusing, more interesting, and more of a daily venture than it could possibly be if everyone were alike."               Isabel Briggs Myers "Gifts Differing"
