<p>It&#8217;s not that it has become one of my &#8220;not goals&#8221;, it&#8217;s just that I&#8217;ve had to tone this one down just a bit.  The first item that I would like to complete is taking the <a title="MBTI" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator" target="_blank">Myers-Briggs Type Indicator</a>.  It really does sound like a good starting point, and I would have never thought of it had it not been for <a title="cheerfulmonk.com" href="http://cheerfulmonk.com" target="_blank">cheerful monk</a> and her ideas.  I really appreciate her for that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done a bit of searching and reading up on this &#8220;test&#8221; and I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m at the point where I&#8217;m ready pursue that test.  I don&#8217;t have a good reason why other than, I just want to know a bit more about it.  So, I&#8217;ve gotten more research to do in that area.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to have to re-approach this goal, this achievement, as more long term than I had initially planned.  I&#8217;m ok with that.  It&#8217;s still a desire that I have.  I just do not see it as something that I can &#8220;goal&#8221; out like I would losing weight or the like. So, my initial thought, after the research that I have done, is to take the MBTI in January, possibly the second week.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe I&#8217;m approaching it with way too much hesitation.  I&#8217;m not sure.  <strong>If you have further recommendations</strong> <strong>or ideas</strong>, I sure would like to hear them.  <strong>Maybe if it were you, how long term or short term do you think you personally would make this goal? </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>I understand that we are all different, and there are probably as many opinions out there as there are you folks reading this.  And again, I&#8217;m OK with that.  I value your opinion.  I&#8217;m very new to this notion of goal setting and need all the &#8220;personal&#8221; help I can get.  I&#8217;m already reading other blogs on goal setting, but each is as varied as the sand on a beach.</p>
<p>So, please, entertain me.  You&#8217;ve listened to me ramble, let me here you.  I know you&#8217;ve got an opinion.  Please share.  Or else.</p>
