On Behalf Of pencimen Type A is authoritarian, metes out punishment, and is highly involved in world and personal affairs (the view of about 31 percent). Type B is benevolent, also active in the world and individual lives, but more forgiving (23 percent). Type C is critical, not engaged but still passing judgment - which individuals will discover in a later life (16 percent).

How about type E, the Marty Feldman look-alike with a magnifying glass and various insidious impliments (borrowed from the Bush administration no doubt) and taking great delight in making as many of us as miserable as possible. The first thing I thought of was type G. The George Burns Oh God! type.

The fact that they are described by words which begin with A, B, C, and D like the choices in a multiple-choice test made me suspicious the first time I saw the results of the poll a week or two ago on another list . . . -- Ronn! :) ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
