In this posting, we explore the relationship between analytical and intuitive thinking mode and financial patience. Note that the return from $3,400 to $3,800 is 11.8% in only three months! Notice that the analytical planners overwhelmingly selected the patient option ($3,800). How much would you pay to get the book tomorrow?

Is it better to be patient or impatient from an investment perspective?

Personality Indicators and Emergency Permit Teachers' Willingness to Embrace Technology
As a result of innovative technologies designed to enhance learning, today's teachers must learn to incorporate the newer technologies into instructional strategies. The present study examined the impact of certain personality types and secondary education teachers' inclination to use technology. A sample of 200 Emergency Permit teachers were surveyed using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and a questionnaire designed to determine willingness to use technology. A one-way ANOVA test was applied to group means. Rapid technological transformations highlight the importance of a technology-based and integrated learning environment for students (Reed & Sautter, 1987; Crow & Buckley, 1988; Riley, 1993). In order to meet future challenges, it is vital that increasing numbers of teachers integrate technology into the curriculum. Research results support the use of the MBTI as a valid means to identify different types of cognitive styles. Methodology

After all this and more, the rules of attraction for the human species are still not clearly understood. How it all factors into true love is even more mysterious. But a short list of scientific rules for the game of love is emerging. Some are as clearly defined as the prominent, feminine eyes of a supermodel or the desirable hips of a well-built man. Other rules work at the subconscious level, motivating us to action for evolutionary reasons that are tucked inside clouds of infatuation. In the end, lasting love depends at least as much on behavior as biology. Symmetry equals sex Starting at conception, the human body develops by neatly splitting cells. Those hips Body shape is of course important, too. Face it Sniff this
