It seems that we can all do it if we want to.

Bruce Hoppe in his post, Personality and Propensity to Brokerage, discusses the relationship of networking capability and personality. He finds that most researchers suggest that there is little correlation between the ability to network and specific personality types.

I certainly agree with Bruce and the researchers he cites, Burt along with Cross and Parker. Of course, with apology to psychometrics people, I have generally thought that personality types from personality tests have only slightly more predictive power that astrology signs and about the same level of potential for self-fulfilling prophecy. I have never learned my Meyers Briggs type – perhaps there is a type for those who don’t.
