I will admit, I have done the MBTI test a couple of times before, so am already somewhat familiar with it. This makes it a little more challenging to work through Professor Sarkee’s process; trying to work out what I believe my MBTI preferences are as I see them.

Let me tell you, when we shop all together, it is quite an ordeal. Before we even get in a store, our shopping experience is a mess. My…
