Nice to know there are more fans out there. No one amongst my friends are familiar. I'm constantly amazed by the things I hear wrong which is probably one of the reasons I do much better with written media. Incidentally, we were shown "Brainstem" in vet school during our neuroanatomy class as well. Thanks for the confirming info.

On personality types, I have to mess with you a little. Myers-Briggs says I'm an INTJ. It is a fairly accurate assessment overall and I've always found it entertaining that there are supposedly so few females of that type. Maybe it's why I think a little more like males in general. On the animal scale, I'm primarily a beaver which is equal to a melancholy which is equal to a "C". Secondarily, the "S" and "D" are nearly equal, phlegmatic and choleric, golden retriever and lion, which is odd because these two are polar opposites. Lowest is the "I", otter, sanguine. Clearly, all systems agree I'm reserved / introverted and task oriented rather than people oriented.

On the veterinary personality field I'm a surgery junkie with ophtho as a strong second and emergency / medicine coming in third. Unfortunately I have a gift for oncology. Derm and repro I'd prefer to pretend are nonexistent.

Can't Spell and I were discussing this last night and determined that in our world, we would need to do multiple personality assessments because our world requires multiple personas to show the public. I've developed my public persona so well that many of the employees think I'm an extrovert who enjoys people. Now that's truly frightening...

How about that? I'm also INTJ. I've taken the DISC but that was a long time ago. I would have to check my files to remember what my profile is.

It's funny to me that I have "met" so many of us who are supposed to be the least common type:). Maybe we're just attracted to each other because we all appreciate the need for personal space. You should check out Pinky and The Brain sometime; you may not like it but if you enjoy sarcastic humor with some slapstick mixed in, it's a lot of fun. On the same vein, **if** I ever manage to publish my cartoons, you may enjoy them as well. There's a heavy leaning toward how I survive without hurting people on a daily basis primarily through the use of sarcasm, imagination, and a LOT of chocolate!!

I took the DISC personality test at one of my jobs. I'm a high I and D...

You must be super outgoing... I have always wished I were more naturally outgoing because interactions with people are so extremely exhausting to me!

I'm very much a people person. Being 1 of 9 girls, you have to stand out some way. haha.
