Jan, this is a perfect example of how we pop in and out of "type."  Having 
FINALLY met you at the Gathering, I would have thought that person to be an 
extrovert.  But here you are!  An introvert like me!  I "extrovert" on such 
occasions for a while, but then I'm back where I'm more comfortable, enjoying from 
the sidelines.

"J", as I understand it, refers to being uncomfortable unless you know what's 
ahead.  I have characterized this in myself as having to have a list of 
EXACTLY where I'll be, what I'll eat, etc. every day on the trail.  Once out there, 
however, I tend more to let it flow without worrying too much about it.  (I 
sit right on the line between J and P, so "waffle" as some people might say.)

What Meyers-Briggs gives me is the perspective that, not to worry, that's 
just my way of coping with life, whatever the day may bring.
