Hi Margie, Yes, I can see that your are fascinated with the different cognitive approaches and how we humans process all that is coming at us. I have been researching how people of like personalities tend to go into the same career areas. It is called Vocational Implications of Personality (VIP). Have found there are eight personality types. Example, Caretaker--persons with this personality type are often found in the areas of health care, teaching or social work. Organizers on the other hand are found in accounting, construction, and event planning. So in my career mapping work I identify the top three personalities, along with the three strongest MIs and then look at other variables that may be present in the lives of my students. The VIP work uses the Myers-Briggs work as a foundation because I want to look at how the students are focusing on decision dependent or decision independent, holistic or inclusive. I am still looking into and developing theories around how MI can and should incorporate personality variables into the learning process. Have some theories but no hard data as I haven't completed all my research in other areas. The whole area of emotional intelligence is another area that needs consideration in relation to learner success. I have a Center that I direct called the Center for Community and Human Resource Development where I and my staff are researching various parts of all these different theories. Much has been done but much remains. We know so little about mental/cognitive processing in relation to personal motivation, environmental factors, and cultural influences even though a tremendous amount of research has been done in the area already. By talking with professionals like yourself and continuing to observe and research these various theories and applications we can learn how to better serve our students. These exchanges help to expand the knowledge base for all of us. Gary
