Acknowledgments Writing this book has become more and more a team eff ort as we have progressed from one stage to the next. Some people contributed content, either directly or indirectly; others gave helpful comments about the manuscript; some recharged our batteries when the going got rough; and some reached seemingly unreachable deadlines to keep the project going on time. With this in mind, the authors would like to thank Carl Jung, David Merrill, Larry Wilson, Performax, Dr. John Geier, William Moulton Marston, and Myers and Briggs for their pioneering research and observations. Th ose who gave valuable feedback on the manuscript include Rick Barrera, Sheila Murray-Bethel, Don Cipriano, Judy Zitzloff , Marcia Feener, Charles Boyd and Jay Lewis. Many others contributed input on their particular behavioral types-- Ron Friedman, Holli Catchpole, Paula Cathcart, Danny Colleran, John Lee, Catherine Carpenter, Stan Leopard, Mikala Limbrecht Rahn, Seymour Myers, and Jessica and Justin Alessandra. A very special thanks to Gary Alessandra for his tireless dedication in getting several days of copy ready “yesterday”, Linda Brown and Lynda London for transforming text into graphics and for making the format “reader friendly.” Dee Jones and Catherine Carpenter made sure everything was organized and sent off to the right people at the right time.
