TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
How about there are 4,972 tech writers busy as hell and if we see one
more "just-for-fun" survey that doesn't make us or our management money,
we're gonna go postal?
1. There are 5,000 subscribers to TECHWR-L. I received 28 responses, a
response rate of, er, well, somebody else will have to do the math.
Possible Conclusions:
a) Only 28 techwriters have done the Myers-Briggs test
b) There are not really 5,000 subscribers to the list
c) There are 5,000 subscribers, but hardly anyone actually reads the
posts
d) People feel that revealing their Myers-Briggs type is akin to wearing
a see-through blouse to work
e) Ho hum, Myers-Briggs is soooooo booooooooring
f) There are 4972 lurkers on this list, all of whom are terrified of
Isaac
