[pct-l] ADZ thoughts

[Greg Hardwick]

Steel - Introvert in MBTI is not "Introverted" as the dictionary defines it. 
Introverted in MBTI is closer to how the person gains their energy and 
purpose.  In MBTI that means they go on past experience.  They use their 
senses and their experience in the environment.  It is quite misleading.

I am MBTI qualified.  Just want to say that that idea is misleading.  No 
flame intended.
