Jerry brings up a thought that had not occurred to me. I have been
married to a global person for 40 years. (Global in Jerry's sense, not manic
depressive which, with my medical background, is what it first meant to me).
Obviously an analytical person learns best from an analyticial person. Is
the reverse true, Jerry?
When I was in my surgical training one of the surgeons who taught me had
participated in a psychological study of various medical specialists on
condition that he get a copy of the results. The surgeons were on one end of
a continuum with the psychiatrists at the other end. This must have been
analytic vs global.
Certainly we need both types but I think I would rather have an
analytical person writing up a Rare Bird Report.
