Back to Keirsey

I've been thinking about Keirsey (Myers-Briggs) personality typing again.

Wilson and I are fellow Guardians, which goes quite some way to explaining why I'm so cross when he's dismissed and belittled.

House is over in the Rational group. Check out these quotes from some of his fellow Rationals! Awesome.


"I have taken all of knowledge for my province."
Francis Bacon

"Ideas do not have to be correct in order to be good; it's only necessary that, if they do fail, they do so in an interesting way."
Robert Rosen

( It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. )

And one that speaks to me so much, I'm likely to put it on my profile:

"Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."
Thomas Jefferson (Architect Rational)

[And this quote explains why I'm OK with people who don't like Wilson, if they don't like him because of his actual annoying qualities.]
