The personality type , like by myers-briggs of our respondants will govern
how well we stay on topic. I'm ENTJ so- I come, I see, I conquer and like
garfield have a wee nap. Some personalities seem focused on wandering
aimlessley shooting the breeze.
The question is do we shoot them, kick them in the ass or ignore them?
Do persons who value the pusuit and application of new knowledge have any
particular personality leaning? Does anyone really care?
