I have taken numerous personality tests over the years, and have spent much time studying and teaching the Myers-Briggs type indicator based on Jung's work.  Therefore, I wasn't all that excited to do more work in this area on another, very foreign model.  But I figured, it could give me insights into leadership styles which could be informative.  So...I came out very close in 3 different areas: Lion 40, Otter 42, Golden Retriever 41 (still having difficulty w/ the monikers here). I could be any of these three as they are so close.  As I read the descriptors of each (and they are brief) I find that I can throw out the Lion for the most part as it really doesn't fit me. I can fluctuate between the Otter & the Retriever.  I find these categories too general to be of any real use besides a VERY general assessment of one's tendencies.  I do believe (as the writer indicates in his notes) that these are more applicable for children to grasp and use than professional school leaders.
