bump..I scored as an INTP. Introverted 89% Intuitive 50% Thinking 1% Perceiving 44%. I'm pretty sure my thinking preference has changed closer to feeling over the years as a result of spiritual practice - but this seems pretty consistent with me. Cool.

Dark beer and red wine have similar health benefits. Occasionally I'll indulge in scotch (family heritage ), but that tends to dull the practice!

Thank you, Wuji.

Typically I don't read all of Vajrahridaya's postings, because of what I see as the characteristic over developed mental body of certain Buddhists - but in this case I think he was on to something in exposing these neo-spiritual "principles" as solipism. So cheers to him!
