By looking in a good dictionary. Next question please, this one is a dud. |
Bingo.
I have the emotional range of a teaspoon so I can't empathise with all the people who have little empathy for Nick who has no Empathy. |

^ They you are either semi-illiterate or a psychologist.
(Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. I would not for one moment want to seriously suggest that you are a psychologist.)

Not quite accurate stuballs - I have empathy, but I can switch it on and off like a lamp. It's dead useful; my empathy is reserved for those people that deserve it.
There's no thumbs up emoticon on Nick's. There should be. David make yourself useful son, install one. |

On the Myer Briggs score did you score any on the F side or all T? I just barely register on the F side.

The Myers Briggs is a stupid test. How are you supposed to answer the questions when half the time more than one answer applies to you
Anyway.
It depends on my mood when I take it. Sometimes I'm a little T, sometimes I'm a very very big T. |

^ Just so. Refer to my remarks about psychologists earlier.
(Not really a fair comment. There has been some great work emerge from the (in)discipline of psychology, alongside a heap of tendentious dross which has little relevance and less use, and deserves to have been strangled at birth. Bit like economics, really.)
