This is quite interesting. I wonder if there are studied impacts of other externalities, such as: PTSD, grieving for a loved one, etc. on the gut bacteria? Is there an initial catalyst that can deplete this bacteria which creates a bigger tipping point? Such an interesting topic. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/06/gut-bacteria-on-the-brain/395918/

The Myers-Briggs Personality Test Is Pretty Much Meaningless

Everybody relies on those four letters far more than they should

I came across this because my son’s Junior High School is giving this to kids now.  I wanted to reread the impacts of it, as a means to prevent him from being pushed into a particular personality type - and geared that way educationally.   I vary between INTP, INFP and ENTP - depending upon the test.    I took this one at https://lonerwolf.com/myer-briggs-free-test/ One of my MBA classes had this essential test as part of the leadership course.  I will see if I can find the worksheets if you are so interested.
