I'm quite submissive and very traditional, but wouldn't say I'm tech challenged. Interesting regarding the Myers Brigg and other such indicators, I don't mind being put in the box, seeing as I always seem to go to the extreme and everything described for that personality/type etc, I was exactly as it was written... as if that was written specifically for me! Interesting how different people react to these tests... which I guess affirms their personality type also!Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385287777104777041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381409356982153648.post-77863067944908530112012-05-07T09:20:00.913+10:002012-05-07T09:20:00.913+10:00Hello from Aunty Ellen

I think I identify more with the latter 1946-1965. The traits of this large group are:<br /><br /> Work-Centric<br /> Independent<br /> Goal-Oriented<br /> Competitive<br />I can see some of myself in each of these, but I think they fit when you look at the group as a whole. When I looked up the traits of the Traditionalists I knew I did not identify with any of those traits: submissive - tech challenged -- traditional.<br /><br />I often taught the Myers Brigg Type Indicator as part of customer service and/or team building. If you want to read more about it I am an ENFP. Every time I taught the class I would get push back from several people who did not like to be type-cast and put in a box. I agree we all have some of the characterictics of all, but it gives us a common language to help us understand each other. I think the same holds true of the generational names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381409356982153648.post-75702837442080834372012-05-05T17:20:56.799+10:002012-05-05T17:20:56.799+10:00I can imagine, Loz... there are some pretty big st...I can imagine, Loz... there are some pretty big stereotypes for Gen Y... glad I'm in the Gen X range because they don't seem quite so 'slammed' as what the next generation is!Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385287777104777041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381409356982153648.post-41676873189223473332012-05-05T16:44:43.564+10:002012-05-05T16:44:43.564+10:00:)
