A classic! If only more papers were so elegant.

Dear TIPS:
Some of you may have known about this classic 1974 paper (if so, I
apologize), but I just learned about it yesterday from the Mind Hacks website.
I have shared it with our graduate students.

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and
his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his
recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions. 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.

Have any of you heard of either the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument(r)
(HBDI(r)) or Whole Brain(r) Thinking? This sounds like more megabuck
psychobabble
that is bleeding businesses and individuals without any evidence to back it up.
You can google if you haven't heard about it but I just can't find any
critiques.
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.
