My comments: I think that as we move more and more into the web-based world, it gets harder and harder to keep things “secret”. What do you think we can do to combat the need for private information and the desire for public info?

I also think that because this test has had such mystique around it, it’s caused a stir because people love seeing things that interact with the brain and “play” with tools that help them figure themselves out. (Disagree – look at the overwhelming number of sites designed specifically around personality tests…)

Wonder what will happen… Weigh in with thoughts!
