Replying to LO4607 --

Attached is a digest/summary of the responses received about
MBTI and Teambuilding.

[...Host's Note: The summary is too long to distribute over the list. If
you would like to read it:

<ftp://ftp.std.com/archives/Learning-org/Team.MBTI.summary>

...or John-Paul tells me he will email it individually to people who want
it. For this, please email him directly, not through the learning-org
list. Thanks, John-Paul, for compiling this summary.

There was enthusiastic response on both sides. 61 responses
in all. The digest is attached in ASCII Text format. It is
about 37 pages long but, if you are interested, the breadth of
the responses are valuable.

Thanks for all of the help and happy reading.....
