Oral Culture and Oral Preference

[Gilbert Brenson-Lazan]

Good morning, all:

In my experience there are Oral (only) Cultures and Oral (preferred) 
Cultures, the latter being more people-oriented (versus task-oriented)  on 
the Kluckhohn-Strodtbeck Scale, even when very "literate" and with 
postgraduate degrees.  With both I make adjustments such as those mentioned 
in previous posts in the OS procedure.
