Hey, if that's the way to get noticed...

And I realise that my Myers-Briggs score or compartment is different at work than at home.

OT: As the first tech writer in the company's 127-year history, I found out my place in the food chain during my annual review. Since the company does not consider "merit" when allocating increases, I fall into the bottom ten percent of "value to the company."

Karen Black, working at home today in Toronto, sometimes feels like the 9-bean salad at the company picnic

You mean outspoken and opinionated?

I'm not a big fan of tests that seek to categorize us into nice little
compartments. However, I *do* see some personality traits crop up frequently
enough among tech writers to draw some conclusions.

Just read through a month of TECHWR-L archives and you'll get a pretty good
feel for the personality types drawn to this line of work.

Of course, we'll never know about those darn lurkers.... :)
