Walter, last fall we gave the MBTI to our staff and the students in our
peer tutoring class, just to see what would come out of it for us.  I
called our counselling center, and a psychologist came over, administered
the test, and then came back the following week and gave us all our
results and explained what you can and can't tell about the scores.  All
of this only cost us $3.00 per test, and the discussion that came out of
it made the money well worthwhile.
