MW would have been a perfect WW1 general.  If it doesn't work, try again.  And keep trying until you run out of pieces.

Reminds me of David Hackworth's book where he paraphrases the four personality types the Prussians (IIRC) outlined:

Competent
Industrious
Lazy
Incompetent

Every officer possess two of the traits.

1. Competent and industrious (leaders and organizers)
2. Competent and lazy (they accomplish the mission with the least human and material waste ...  what's the easiest way to do this)
3. Incompetent and lazy (Every group has these folks, get them out of the way)
4. Incompetent and industrious (these folks will get you killed)

A strong cell is headed in the general direction of SW, but should pass over pretty quickly. Might be a little bit of a delayed start.

I took that when I had a job.   Turns out I'm introverted.   I asked the person in charge how can that be since I'm always clowning, DJ'ing, emceeing,  etc.   She said you clown and be a smarta** so people won't get close to you.   You try to make them laugh so they don't ask you questions.      It's a defense mechanism.     :shrug:

One dividing line between introvert & extrovert involves how one reacts when under alot of stress.  So despite one's daily demeanor, under stress, people either go talk with family/friends to release stress or keep to themselves to handle stress.

Absolutely.   It's like the "tests" I took at the reception station after getting drafted.

Are you afraid of the dark?     Yes
Are you afraid of animals?      Yes
Do you get airsick?                Yes
Do you like loud noises?        No

On it went.    I had a plan.    The bastards put me in the infantry.    :)

I've always kept to myself especially when stressed out.   People piss me off.     :mg:

Also, if you disagree or contradict their conclusions they use it to say the denial is proof that they are right. :lol:

I'm with you mitlen. It's a lot easier to deal with just one jerk. I don't see how we have made it so long sitting together at games.

I'm just a sociable introvert who wants to drown out the psychobabble.  Though I have a long list of exes who prefer such terms as 'delusional' and 'sociopath'  :lol:

Missus asked me if I was gonna join Facebook.    Told her I have one friend and he's a pain in the ass.    I don't need any more.    It's like my cell.   Folks say, "Why don't you turn it on?"     I tell 'em, "I don't wanna talk to you at home.   Why the hell would I wanna talk to you anywhere else?"
