This is true. My anger therapist first gave me this test, but it pissed me
off so bad that I never returned.
What does this have to do with technical writing?
Everything. There is no one right type that excels at technical writing. My
personality type might suggest that I am not ideally cut out to be a
technical writer.
But all of the experts are wrong!
I am one of the best technical writers that ever lived.
Oops! That must be my personality type sneaking through.
Well, screw them all. I have to go see my new anger management therapist. I
hope she does not piss me off as well.
