This reminds me of a paper from the same era (Memory & Cognition?) about recursion that simply references itself? Anybody remember this? Patrick

I have shared it with our graduate students. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1311997/pdf/jaba00061-0143a.pdf Scott O.

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him - he is always doing both. - Zen Buddhist text (slightly modified) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Palij [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 3:34 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Mike Palij Subject: re: [tips] something new?

I hadn't heard about it before but googling does reveal a Wikipedia entry that provides a description and some critiques; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herrmann_Brain_Dominance_Instrument The HBDI is not exactly new. There apparently had been studies using it back in the 1980s, such as: DeWald, R. E. (1989). Relationships of MBTI types and HBDI preferences in a population of student program managers (Doctoral dissertation, Western Michigan University, 1989). Dissertation Abstracts International, 50(06), 2657B. (University Microfilms No. AAC89-21867) Krause, M. G. (1987, June). A comparison of the MBTI and the Herrmann Participant Survey. Handout from presentation at APT-VII, the Seventh Biennial International Conference of the Association for Psychological Type, Gainesville, FL Terence Hines appears to have been a a critic of the theory and several of his publications are listed on the Wikipedia entry identified above. Hines has a Wikipedia entry too but it is very brief and somewhat misleading. Hines is a psychologist at Pace University (Westchester campus) and has been active in the skeptics community with publications on a variety of topics. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
