Ah, Meg, if I were clever, I'd come up with some semi-obscene, maybe
even witty answer. Alas, I can't even think of what MBTI really stands
for, exactly. I think it's Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, right Barry?
Barry is a guru in this stuff, so fill us in here.

The MBTI is an often-used personality preference test in career
guidance offices as there are volumes and volumes of impressive
correlation stats on the fit between various responses to this test
and people's career preferences. Your friendly neighborhood guidance
and career counseling office will know more about it. The test can
only be given by licensed types, so it's not publicly available to
us mere mortals. But there are less valid short forms that are
published in various books. 

Hey, Barry, bail me out here...add more....
