Your personallity type involves shafting as many small companies as possible in any underhand way to further your own global domination?!
Pretty much yes!
If the ENTP was defending someone who had actually committed a crime, they are likely to take advantage of quirks in the law that will get their client off the hook. If they were to actually win the case, they would see their actions as completely fair and proper to the situation, because their actions were lawful. The guilt or innocence of their client would not be as relevant.
/runs off to see if Bush is an ENTP too!

In-laws....what can I say!
We blew ours out years ago due to Father-in-laws drinking. Now he`s gone, we are left with a disabled Mum-in-law we are very keen to make up lost time with. I asked my parents if I could have Christmas at hers, so she could be surrounded by family, especially since she`s been living alone since May. They said yes.
Now she`s sunk some money into buying new curtains, and some Christmas bits, my parents tell the kids they will go over to open presents, but don`t want to go there for the day because her house smells of pee.............
Season of goodwill and all that :huh:

Ta very muchly people
Too tired to give much of an update (edit, I lied!), aside from the letter was waiting for me when I got there. I was asked to ensure I provide convenient meals as the care workers do not have time to cook and prepare a meal. It included a footnote that this would also meet health and safety standards.................
(Bilko, ONE word about my cooking and I WILL slay you :huh
I found another meal I had to dispose of, a filled yorkshire pud, which takes 20 minutes in the oven as opposed to 8 minutes in the microwave. Was my buying something which takes 12 minutes longer unreasonable? They had opened it, but must have seen the cooking time, so put it back.
I can understand the reluctance toward zapping something which has no official instructions (health and safety and all that), but cannot understand why this has not been an issue with meals I have prepared and frozen in the freezer to microwave plates (with lids) she has, in the past. She only has two of these, and I have been looking for more (Betterware, Mothercare, online) but to no avail. What I have been doing instead is buying separates, which can be put together to the same effect on the day (eg. tinned meat, microwave veg and spuds). These are often ignored. Perhaps food I`ve bought with a view to ME cooking for the plates has had them worried (chicken drumsticks etc)? These are left in the freezer for me to fill her plates at a later date.
Couldn`t get hold of the social worker (will try again tomorrow), and was thinking of leaving a note, but I`m tired, and knew any note I was likely to write would involve sentances like.............
`If you can find conveniant meals which won`t give her the shits, please let me know`............or
If health and safety can`t get thier heads past the fact that MIL is food intolerant and cannot eat many of the meals offered in a conveniant range, she`s screwed, advice please.`
Or `Whats the fucking problem with the fish pie that`s been sat in her freezer for three weeks then?!`
Not constructive.
It doesn`t help when MIL views many meals which possibly does meet her food rules as spawn of Satan food. She won`t do foreign, she won`t eat anything has large packaging, and last week, after telling me she hadn`t had porridge for an age, told me that `eww, I wasn`t eating porridge`, after I found that too, off in the fridge. So I am aware, that she is not easy either.
She tells me that some of her more regular careworkers are quite happy to zap her meals, but other more recent visitors haven`t been.
If health and safety is an issue, how safe or healthy is it to not feed her decent meals at all after she`s recovering from a bout in hospital which has left her pretty wasted, just because they come in three packets as opposed to a cardboard box?
Today I cooked some fishcakes, and a vegetable burger, which did take about 25 miutes, and filled her plates up with micro veg and spud, when these run out they will have to put extra fishcakes (precooked) and the micro veg together themselves............after the cauliflower cheese I bought last week and fishpie are used.
Will this be an issue I wonder?
Steph, thanks so much for the offer, and thanks for reading the thread, your knowledge is very much appreciated. I`ll keep posting here however, because I`m sure I`m not the only one here who has disabled/elderly relatives to look out for, so your advice would be helpful to many
On a brighter note, we got to take home the `evil drinking chocolate`................evil because it didn`t come in a red tin Oh, and the Smash which has been ignored too.

Oh and just ignore that sarge, he's been picking on me cos he's a bit of a git
Now, now, that`s a little harsh. I`m willing to bet he`s a reasonable man. Now Sarge, since you rubbed my head, are you willing to let me rub yours?!
:twisted:
Thanks all :love:
Shireen, that`s a great idea, albeit a little aggressive for me, especially since one of the careworkers who visit at least once is a neighbour! I shall use that advice if I have to. What I was planning to do was to see how many meals have been ignored when I go there tomorrow, and phone her social worker. I need to find out what`s been going on with the Occupational Therapists visits anyway.
When her husband died I was given so much enthusiastic info on what they were planning to do for her, including an OT to help her get to grips with the kitchen...........I seem to be the only one whose followed through, or at least it seems that way.
I can take some of that education on myself, or suggest that they set the microwave up (put the meal in, and leave the door open so she can take it from there) but that isn`t the point, it`s the lack of effort and blame placing which is getting to me. I leave very nice notes, what`s thier problem?!
Venusxxx
Two weeks ago I was asked to phone my mum-in-law`s social worker. He was concerned that she seemed to be running out of food, after a `report` from her care workers, and as she`d mentioned I was getting a job, they put two and two together, came up with five, and assumed I`d quit taking her shopping.
She ran out of milk.....I hadn`t realised she didn`t want to re-establish her milk delivery after she came out of hospital, so hadn`t made other arrangements.
I checked her care book, and there was an entry concerning how they had `rang` around to organise someone to bring her bread..........
WHY THE FUCK THEY DIDN`T CHECK THE FREEZER IS BEYOND ME!!
She has a fridge freezer, the freezer is directly under the fridge. It`s not hard. There were two loaves in there. Instead they phoned her social worker to complain I was neglecting her.
Last week I noticed that none of the conveniant meals I`d brought her had been eaten, including the one I left in the fridge so it would be noticed, which they left to spoil. She has a couple of freezer to microwave plates, which I try to fill with home-cooked, and we plump up the rest with convenient meals, you know, the ones which take about eight minutes in a microwave. There are only a few of these she can eat due to a food intolerance, so she also has various tins of soup, frozen mash, microwave steam veg, and main dish, such as fish etc, all of which can be combined and would take a matter of minutes in the microwave. After last week I left her with about a fortnight`s worth of meals, and since the care workers seemed to have ignored a note I left on the fridge they use every time they visit, I left a note in the care book, reminding them that MIL has just come out of hospital weighing 5st 7, and needs a hot meal every day, please could they see that she is fed the stuff I am providing, as MIL tends to forget that the meals are there (they already know that she is unable to use the microwave as yet)
So, MIL phones me today to tell me that they want to know my address so they can write me a letter, and that they have complaining that they don`t have the time..........
to put a bloody box in the microwave and press zap
Instead they have the time to put bread in a toaster, butter it, and give her that instead!
Someone please tell me why they are there?! They used to visit everyday, three times a day, but such is her independance she doesn`t need that much care, which I`m happy to know. She goes to a care center three times a week where she gets a meal, and the morning care-workers found themselves with nothing to do because she was capable of getting herself up and washed. She is also capable of making herself toast. It`s the microwave she tends to avoid, how bloody hard can it be to swap toast for nuked dinners?! Especially since she is one of thier easiest patiants?! They have been able to drop three visits a day, every day, to an evening visit, as such I persuaded MIL to swap her hot meal time to the evening.
Don`t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for careworkers.......
the ones who actually do their job that is.
I am sick to fucking death of throwing out good food that I can`t even afford to buy my own family! (she gets the good stuff!)
I`m so mad I forgot to be funny.
Sorry
Ok, as you were, I feel better already :mrgreen:

Venus, you could come here and we'd have a private 'room of love' but I know I'd have to do something drastic to even get so much as a Rizla between you & Reese, should you get together again.
I know, I know, these should be a government health warning stamped on us two when we start with those essay type PM sessions!

Although we believe firmly that this model works very well to help in finding and maintaining healthy relationships, it is important to remember that it's just a tool. We offer guidelines to help you understand the kinds of things that you value in a relationship, rather than guidelines that you need to follow strictly. Two well-developed individuals of any type can make a relationship work. And work is a key concept here! There is no such thing as an effortless relationship. Don't use this model as an excuse to dump your relationship.
Sooooo, I`m now interested in couples. Mars hasn`t done his test yet, but I wouldn`t be at all surprised if he isn`t a natural match. We had to work hard to be this good together. With so many well-balanced couples here, I`m interested to see if the test is capable of highlighting those who didn`t have to work hard, or like myself and Mars, those who did.
Oh, and anybody who can remind me to eat and stuff whilst I`m looking into this would be much appreciated.....maybe I should shower and get dressed too?!

Thanks LC! I kept giving up trying to find decent descriptions because I keep getting booted!

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is the functional engineering or inventive role that reaches the highest development in Inventors. It is so natural for these individuals to practice devising gadgets and mechanisms, that they start doing it even as young children. And they get such a kick out of it that they really never stop exercising their inventive bent. Of course as this kind of activity is practiced some structural engineering inevitably happens, so that the next kind of skill to develop in the Inventor is that of designing. Now planning contingencies and marshalling forces, though practiced in some degree in the course of engineering activity, develop more slowly and are soon left behind by the burgeoning of talent in engineering. However, any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to both engineering and organizing skills.
As the Inventors' engineering capabilities increase so does their desire to let others know about whatever has come of their engineering efforts. So they tend to take up an informative role in their social exchanges. On the other hand they have less and less desire, if they ever had any, to direct the activities of others, doing so only when forced to by circumstances.
As engineers of function Inventors wish to exercise their competence in the world of people and things, and thus they deal imaginatively with social systems as well as physical and technological systems. They are very alert to what is apt to occur next-under certain conditions, if certain criteria are met-and they are always sensitive to possibilities. Found in two percent (at most) of the population, Inventors are good at functional analysis, and have both a tolerance for and enjoyment of complex problems. Outgoing and intensely curious, Inventors are apt to express interest in finding out about everything they come into contact with, and this can be a source of inspiration to others, who find themselves admiring the Inventor's insatiable hunger for knowledge. Inventors are also endlessly inventive, and are the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that is the way things have always been done. They characteristically have an eye out for a better way, always on the lookout for new projects, new activities, new procedures. Inventors are confident in the value of their interests and display a charming capacity to ignore the standard, the traditional, and the authoritative. As a result of this innovative attitude, they often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and their lives.

I`ve not long noticed you reposted!
Who says I`m capable of explaining it? I`m still studying it myself! And to be honest, aside from the obvious Introverts/extroverts, feeling/thinking people, the more indepth observations open up more questions than they answer!
I`ll take a look though! :mrgreen:

But I'm slightly confused by this question:-
You think that everything in the world is relative?
I didn't think it was an IQ test!
Anyways, I'm inclined to think that this test is BS.Oops, there I go being thoughtful and judgemental
:giggle:
I`m inclined to support the idea that the test is capable of highlighting general basic character traits, but lack the understanding of the more indepth studies to offer more than a cursory opinion. I tend not to subscribe to the belief that such tests should neccessarily be used to pick future careers etc. I think it`s something people should explore for themselves without relying on such shortcuts. That`s far more rewarding IMO
