Personality Plus Classification!

Florence Littauer classifies people into four personality types. I had attended a workshop on this a few months back and then I found a book written by her a few weeks back and it revived my interest. It is quite an accurate classification and now every time I look at someone ...I think..ah he is a PC/PS...or a PM/PP...or eh....this was a typical PS statement..If nothing else it is fun to bucket people in different categories....and tell someone...you are a PC...and have them look at you in confusion! (This by the way would be a typical PS statement!)
Check out this link and do the test for yourself..and do remember to tell me the results!

I'm a PM : Phlegmatic Melancholy.

I actually don't go too deep into these tests.. I would not care if I'm a PM/Pc or whatever.. and definitely would not look for the same in others..

Just wanted to find out if this meant anything.. Took the test.. and found I'm PM..
