Hi Cecil,

The "technique" definitely isn't new to me. It makes me wonder what the reason you really can't talk straight to me is.

The technique has a very, very bad flaw. It claims that, for example, "I said to HIM you're a bastard, I didn't say it to YOU." If someone really thinks this a) is less upsetting than being straight with the person him/herself or b) really would take the focus away from the person who's the subject--well, it's my opinion anyone considering this a deft little
trick truly well working doesn't have a brain. Furthermore, I think it's an indication of a very dishonest and morally corrupt person. Or someone who doesn't think.

About the issue itself, the reason I'm upset with you, Cecil isn't that you'd say "I think you might be a three with a 2 wing" (Actually, on the eariler time you said 2w3) but that you start telling me who I am, by describing what my bad traits are (traits I don't have) and how I could improve even thought you don't really know me at all.

I might very well be an ENFJ. Another possibility is INFJ. I'm an F, no matter how much I sometimes have wished (assured myself) otherwise. But what makes you so sure I'm "definitely" E? I mean, after all, this is a wwwboard, where telling the I/E difference is probably the most difficult of them all.
