OS and Personality Type?

[FamilyFirm at aol.com]

Pete,
Your question stimulates me to suggest William Bridges' book, "The Character
of Organizations".  He has formulated a typology based on Meyers Briggs
concepts and identified 16 organizational types that correspond to the 16
individual types.

In addition to the question of whether OS resonates with some individual
types more than others, there is also a question of whether it is more or
less compatible with certain organizational types. Information about the book
is available at the major online book vendor web sites.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, to me, as a P(erceiving) type, it seems
like a P thing with its emphasis on options and what is sometimes referred
to as its "lack of structure" (seems like the perfect amount, to me)...If
this is a quality that is not allowed to flourish in organizations, one
valuable aspect of OS is the opportunity to correct this bias.
