Perspectives: Making it Work
AMS benefits chemical plant from start to finish
DuPont engineers chose Intelligent Device Manager software from Emerson Process Management to help manage all the data available from their instrumentation.
In the late 1990s, DuPont, Wilmington, Del., was planning to expand production of chemical intermediates for making industrial and commercial Teflon by commissioning two new plants at its Fayetteville Works site in North Carolina. Engineers at the facility knew the value of networking the information generated by smart field devices, as well as the importance of having a central database of information about the process. After evaluating several options, DuPont engineers selected AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager software from Emerson Process Management, St. Louis, as the means of accomplishing both objectives.
AMS Device Manager is a versatile software package that can be used by engineers and technicians to calibrate instrumentation, check out control loops, validate interlocks and assist in startups. An additional benefit is that it can be used as a predictive maintenance tool.
This asset-management software allows DuPont personnel to effectively work with field instruments without leaving the control room and, in doing so, save a significant amount of time during commissioning and startup. As a predictive maintenance tool, it enables technicians to determine the operating condition of field devices so they can make informed decisions about maintaining or replacing those devices. This results in higher reliability of operating equipment, and lowers the likelihood that unexpected shutdowns will occur.
The first expansion plant was commissioned in 2001. Results indicate that the asset-management system – including the required hardware -- paid for itself during startup and commissioning. The software is now a valuable tool for the maintenance department to calibrate, troubleshoot, perform diagnostics and follow up with various activities.
Smart software for smart instruments
AMS Device Manager, an element of Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture, leverages the large amount of diagnostic information being generated by intelligent, microprocessor-based field instrumentation. The software interfaces with smart instruments via an RS485 communication network, which makes it possible to communicate with these devices and examine their condition in a way never before possible.
We loaded the software onto a PC in the control room. It communicates in real time with any HART device in the process-control network without interfering with the ABB Freelance control system. Large amounts of field-based data are retrieved, integrated into a single database, organized and processed, and are then accessible to engineers and technicians on the PC.
AMS Device Manager features a number of time-saving functions, including configuration and inventory management of smart instruments, loop testing and tuning, valve calibration and diagnostics, monitoring and issuing of status alerts when the condition of a field device warrants attention, troubleshooting of suspected problems and documentation of all activities. Technicians can perform all of the functions generally associated with a handheld communicator and more, without leaving the comfort and safety of the control room.
We have never, to my knowledge, had to put an instrument on a bench in an instrument shop -- we didn't even have an instrument shop on site when the first unit was built. All of the transmitters and valve positioners were installed directly from receiving, and all of the calibration, function and loop checks were done with the AMS Device Manager software. We saved at least 20 days of a technician's time because these procedures were streamlined so effectively.
Startup shortcuts
Because the software communicates directly with each device, it gives us a way to satisfy DuPont's rigid loop-checkout and interlock-validation requirements without technicians having to go into the plant and physically locate 250 newly installed transmitters, attach test instruments and complete the established procedures.
Loop checkout tests the integrity of the wiring that connects field devices with the control system and confirms their I/O capability following installation. This testing proved to be extremely efficient, since all field transmitters could be polled in sequence from the control room.
With the system in configure mode, device outputs are varied from 0% to 100%, and changes are observed on the DCS console, indicating the responsiveness and proper calibration of each device. The integrity of each loop was confirmed in minutes because technicians didn't have to venture into the field to find and open each device, clip on handheld communicator leads and force outputs while constantly communicating via radio with another technician in the control room.
AMS Device Manager made it possible for one person to do everything. I estimate that loop checkout took 100 hours using this system. Without the software it could have taken 700 man-hours.
Interlock validation ensures that the control-system software is written correctly and that the safety interlocks are functioning as intended. A companion program called QuickCheck, developed by Proconex Inc., an Emerson business partner, makes it possible to test the interlocks by modifying process variables coming from the HART transmitters. Because multiple transmitters can be grouped and monitored while the output is fixed by an operator on one control screen, interlock validation is more efficient using the AMS Device Manager software in conjunction with QuickCheck.
We set up groups of transmitters in loop-test mode with outputs equal to normal process variables. With the process in simulation mode, a technician systematically manipulated the output of each transmitter to exceed process conditions and then waited for the plant to respond, indicating that the safety interlocks were working properly.
This procedure took place in the control room alongside the control console. The technicians didn't have to search for instrument data; these data were right there for them in an organized manner. This saved a tremendous amount of time while effectively validating the interlocks. Using these technologies probably enabled us to be up and running 10 days sooner on each project than if we had used traditional methods on these two projects.
The benefits we experienced in commissioning and starting up the first plant were repeated when the second unit was brought into operation in late 2002. Faster startups allowed us to deliver the chemical intermediates for Teflon production earlier than expected.
Practice predictive maintenance
AMS Device Manager provides information about the operating condition of the field devices and associated equipment, which is the basis for predictive maintenance now that the plants are operating normally. Although there isn't a great need for predictive maintenance of the instrumentation in a new plant, problems can develop, especially with valves, and online monitoring by the software conveys a valuable "heads up" if the condition of a device begins to deteriorate. This early warning enables maintenance technicians to determine how long the device is expected to last and when it should be replaced, considering its importance.
Advance knowledge of a device's condition is especially useful at our plant; chemical hazards can make it difficult to get to an instrument or to break into a line while the plant is operating. For such procedures, it's necessary for all personnel to be in protective gear, which can be cumbersome and uncomfortable to work in. We can now try to pinpoint the cause of a problem before maintenance personnel suit up to go into the plant.
In the past, it was standard operating procedure to go out, pull a valve and take it back to the shop for repair if it didn't seem to be performing properly. Frequently, no problem was found and the valve was reinstalled. If the problem persisted, the valve might be pulled a second time. This doesn't happen anymore.
Now, when a valve appears to be malfunctioning, the first thing we do is compare the valve's current performance with its signature (a baseline taken when the valve was new) to determine if and how the basic characteristics have changed and whether that change is affecting the overall operation (Figure2). Is it slowing down the process? Is it affecting the quality of the product? The answers to these questions can help determine whether any action needs to be taken. If there is nothing wrong with the valve, the technicians look elsewhere. Most importantly, maintenance decision-making now is based on factual information and not supposition.
It's not necessary to be in the control room to communicate with these devices. Recently, I was in Maryland on Thanksgiving when an instrument in the newer plant failed. It was replaced with a spare transmitter that had a slightly different configuration. Although the plant was not fully operational, it was scheduled to run over the weekend, so they called me. Using my personal laptop computer, I was able to connect with the instrument via our corporate network, scale it according to the stored data on the device it replaced, and put it in service – all from more than 500 miles away and in less than 15 minutes.
Without question, this versatile software has earned a place in the arsenal of weapons we have to eliminate processing problems and ensure smooth, efficient production without unnecessary delays. It has saved us time and maintenance dollars while permitting increased plant uptime.

|Game Notes: Mizzou | Ohio State
TIGER TALES- Mizzou Softball took down its first ranked team of the season at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic on Feb. 20, blanking No. 14 Arizona, 2-0. The win was engineered by freshman P Tori Finucane, who pitched the complete game shutout (7.0) with a season-best eight strikeouts. The new Tiger allowed just five hits and issued zero walks. Redshirt sophomore OF Taylor Gadbois became the first Tiger since May 21, 2011, to record at least three stolen bases in a game, while sophomore 2B/OF Emily Crane led the way at the plate with a 2-for-3, one RBI performance.
Head coach Ehren Earleywine's squad finished the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic with a 3-2 record to improve its overall season mark to 7-3. Gadbois batted an outstanding .563 (9-for-16) over Mizzou's five games, while senior OF Mackenzie Sykes hit an impressive .462 (6-for-13) with two doubles to her credit. Finucane posted a 2-1 record in three appearances with 15 strikeouts in 13.2 innings pitched. Besides the Arizona win, the Tigers dropped Fordham (8-0) and San Diego State (11-2) in five innings on Feb. 21.
The top of Mizzou's batting order has been dynamic through the first 10 games of the season. Regular leadoff batter Gadbois has hit a team-best .462 (12-for-26) while leading the squad with 10 stolen bases. No. 2 hole hitter redshirt sophomore SS Sami Fagan has hit .324 (11-for-34) and has been perfect in steal attempts (3-for-3). The typical third batter for Mizzou, Crane, has produced with a .346 batting average (9-for-26) and team-leading 11 RBI. In total, the threesome have a combined .372 (32-for-86) batting average.
Breaking in a whole new era of pitching at Mizzou has been called an "exciting" part of the coaching job Earleywine gets to do every day for the Tigers. Finucane, freshman P/OF/1B Casey Stangel and senior P Alora Marble have been doing their part early on in the Tigers' season, sporting a 1.15 team ERA through 10 games. Finucane (1.05 ERA, 26.2 IP) and Stangel (1.40 ERA, 25.0 IP) lead the Tigers in innings pitched.
Earleywine's crew was given preseason rankings of 14th and 17th by the USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 and ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 polls, respectively, marking the fifth-consecutive season that the Tigers begin their season ranked in the Top 15. Mizzou is currently 17th and 19th in the two polls.
Earleywine is in his eighth season leading Mizzou and 11th season as a head softball coach with a major milestone within reach. The former Georgia Tech head coach (2004-06) went 146-55 in Atlanta before returning to his home state to lead the Tigers, winning 333 games to run his career total to 479.
The 2014 season will have a new feeling to many who closely follow the program, as ace pitcher Chelsea Thomas and always reliable batters Nicole Hudson and Jenna Marston no longer appear on Earleywine's lineup card. The graduates left lasting marks on Mizzou, with Thomas becoming the first three-time First Team All-American in program history. She claimed three conference pitcher of the year awards (two in the Big 12, one in the SEC). Thomas finished her Tiger career as the winningest pitcher in school history, with a career mark of 111-31, as well as No. 1 in strikeouts with 1,174.
Hudson and Marston were dynamic at the plate throughout their careers and used strong final seasons at the plate to finish in Mizzou's all-time top 10 in career hits, doubles, at-bats, runs scored, RBI and walks. Hudson (143) and Marston (134) rank No. 1 and No. 2 atop the Tigers' all-time walks chart. Hudson finished one home run shy of matching Jen Bruck (2005-08) for the school's career long ball record of 47, while Marston finished second in both doubles (53) and runs scored (193).
THE OPPOSITION - CITRUS CLASSIC - Bradley enters the Citrus Classic (Friday, Feb. 28-Sunday, March 2) with a 5-9 overall record, including setbacks to No. 24 Cal (10-3) and twice vs. No. 14 Stanford (7-3, 5-0). BU is led at the plate by Marina Groenewegen, who holds a .321 batting average. Mizzou last played the Braves in 2010, a five-inning 9-1 victory for the Tigers at University Field. Former Tiger and current Mizzou assistant coach Gina Schneider batted 1-for-1 with one run scored in the win.
Syracuse (4-6) also played at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic along with Mizzou, although against different opponents. The Orange played a tight game against No. 18 Oklahoma (L, 6-2), recording a 2-3 overall mark at the event. Syracuse sports two .400 hitters in its lineup, both Julie Wambold (10-for-25) and Ellie Forkin (6-for-15).
Illinois State (5-9) started off its 2014 season taking No. 4 Florida to the wire in a 3-2 setback. The Redbirds also dropped a close game at No. 5 Arizona State (4-2). Three players for Illinois State have two home runs so far in 2014: Kolby Hoffman, Jordan de los Reyes and Regan Romshek.
Radford (2-4) has a .400 batter in Julie Gardner (6-for-15), who is also the team's leader in home runs (2). Mizzou and the Highlanders matched up in 2010 in Columbus, Ga., with the Tigers edging RU by a 7-6 score in 10 innings. Schneider hit a home run in the sixth inning of the game. Current director of operations Lisa Simmons recorded the winning RBI in the contest, grounding out but driving in Schneider from third base.
Ohio State (4-6) dropped games to ranked opponents at the Easton Desert Classic (Las Vegas, Nev.) from Feb. 14-16, falling to No. 2 Florida (19-2 [5]) and No. 10 Oregon (9-0 [6]). Despite the tough losses, OSU has three players hitting above .400 entering the Citrus Classic: Caitlin Conrad (.429), Evelyn Carrillo (.419) and Erika Leonard (.407).

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Central El Paso bus riders are upset over a $1.2 million project that will renovate the Five Points bus terminal. The renovation will begin next Sunday and some bus riders say not only did they not receive much notice, they feel renovating this busy terminal during the summer is not the right time.
Sun Metro's five points bus terminal will completely shut down on July 7th in order to prepare for a more than one million dollar renovation. "There's going to be inconvenience with any kind of construction," Laura Cruz-Acosta the spokeswoman for Sun Metro explained. But closing down the terminal is more than just an inconvenience for some bus riders.
"I just think the Sun Metro didn't really think it through when they were gonna [sic] remodel this bus terminal," John Riley, a Central Pasoan explained.
"They didn't give enough notice now I gotta [sic] walk a lot more," Angel Sustaita, another Central El Pasoan and bus rider said. Angel Sustaita depends on the buses to get around town he also says he's disabled.
"They have that new bus stop and everything else outside. It's gonna [sic] be terrible," Sustaita exclaimed. What's more, some riders feel the canopy over the temporary stop is not sufficient enough to cool people down in the heat of the El Paso sun. "They're doing it over the summer where during the summer, it's 95, 100 degrees almost every day. There's no AC where they're moving everybody to," Riley said.
Sun Metro says the Summer renovation is inconvenient but is necessary. "We have the funding now and we don't want to wait on the funding and risk losing the funds in order to do this kind of change," Acosta-Cruz said.
They also say, they're doing their best to move construction along. "Even though the construction is scheduled to be completed by... early 2014, our hope is that we can bring folks in sooner," Acosta-Cruz explained.
The temporary bus stop is located right across the street from Five Points on Raynor and Tularosa. Sun Metro says they will post construction updates on their website here: www.sunmetro.net/brio [2]

The panel's leader said he was shocked to hear top government officials congratulate the Delhi police chief's handling of the gang-rape case when police negligence is to blame for women's lack of safety in New Delhi.
NEW DELHI — India needs to implement existing laws, not introduce tougher punishment such as the death penalty, to prevent rape, a government panel set up to review legislation said Wednesday, following a brutal gang rape that shook the nation.
Panel head, justice J.S. Verma, rejected outright the idea of the death penalty for rape cases, a demand from some protesters and politicians in the days after the 23-year-old physiotherapy student was attacked on a moving bus.
"There was an overwhelming opinion against the death penalty. Even women's groups opposed this," Verma told a news conference. This recommendation was in line with the opinions of rights organizations concerned that harsh new laws would not solve the rising number of reported sexual assault cases in India.
RELATED: Trial in India gang-rape case begins
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked Verma to look at possible amendments of criminal law in response to public anger after the rape and subsequent death of the student, who was assaulted with metal bars and dumped bleeding on a highway.
In that case, because the woman died of her injuries, the five accused have been charged with murder and face the death penalty if found guilty. The victim died of massive organ damage in a Singapore hospital two weeks after the attack.
Hearings in the case against the accused will begin in a fast-track sessions court Thursday. The court must decide which of the prosecution's charges it will hear before a trial formally begins.
Separately, the Supreme Court is hearing a petition to move the case out of Delhi, after one of the accused said strong public opinion in the city would prejudice the case.
Verma said he was shocked to hear top government officials congratulate the Delhi police chief's handling of the case, when, he said, police negligence was to blame for a climate of insecurity in New Delhi, known as India's "rape capital."
"Practically every serious breach of the rule of law can be traced to the failure of performance by the persons responsible for its implementation," the recommendations submitted to the government by Verma Wednesday stated.
The report said the failure of public functionaries responsible for traffic regulation and law and order enabled the Delhi gang rape, and said the case had revealed "officials' low and skewed priority of dealing with complaints of sexual assault."
He also rejected lowering the age juveniles can be tried as adults, a demand from some politicians and protesters. A sixth accused in the case has told police he is under 18, meaning he would face a maximum three-year sentence if found guilty.
The panel did recommend other milder forms of sexual harassment be more strictly legislated against and punished.
"Sexual assault degenerates to its gravest form of rape beginning with uncontrolled sexual harassment in milder forms, which remain uncontrolled. It has, therefore to be curbed at the initial stage," the panel said.

The readers of this site are a diverse bunch. You generally won't get downrated just because your opinion doesn't match with the general audience.
But when you start acting like a moron with no disregard to other people's opinions or show an attitude, that's when you get downrated to hell.

Album Review
Upon its original release in spring 1977,
Dandy in the Underworld
was widely applauded as
Marc Bolan
's best album in three years, a blending of his own recent moves toward a rootsier, R&B-inflected sound and the sudden shock of punk rock. It is no surprise, then, to discover that
's demos and rough mixes for the record echoed those same discoveries. Prince of Players (its title taken from a lyric in the title track) follows the standard Edsel procedure of unearthing each of the original album's songs in alternate form, offering up a glimpse of how
arrived at the final cut, but also showing just how disciplined that process was. None of the demos vary too much from the finished thing, but they do pack an unexpected freshness -- the distorted guitar solo which bisects "I Love to Boogie" is positively overwhelming, while the speed with which
was moving is illustrated by the fact that several tracks no longer exist in early studio incarnations, and are replaced by live renditions instead. Equally startling is the realization that for the first time in some years,
was actually recording material as he wrote it, rather than relying on existing compositions as he had in the past. Only two songs on the completed album predated the sessions -- the previous summer's hit "I Love to Boogie," of course, and "Visions of Domino," recounted from the earlier "Funky London Childhood." The regular album is accompanied, as usual, with a smattering of associated singles and B-sides, again in varying states of incompleteness. Most are entertaining, and a couple are vital -- fast-forward, for example, to the rough take of "Celebrate Summer," the last single
released during his lifetime. It was intended as a celebration not only of the season, but also of all the seismic shocks that had shaken British music that year (summer
heaven in 1977) and, if you can get past the tape hiss which betrays the track's homegrown origins, "Celebrate Summer" captures why.
is in his best voice in years, and if you want further evidence of his newfound fire, an instrumental take of the same song is all but indistinguishable in places from
the Damned
's "Neat Neat Neat." Neither is that an accident -- the young punks supported T Rex on their final U.K. tour. Prince of Players is the final album in Edsel's re-examination of
's 1972-1977 album catalog, meaning that the six albums that
recorded during that period have now spawned 23 different collections -- and, it has to be said, the barrel has been scraped down to the woodwork on more than a few occasions. The alternate, almost-instrumental version of "To Know Him Is to Love Him" is no better than the completed take, and the closing "Weird Strings" is just that. Weird strings and freaked electronics. But even in the face of material that
himself would never have allowed off the shelf, everything is, in its own way, irresistible. And why? Because everyone
loves to boogie.

Dr.Sridhar, a beautiful song that you have selected. Have to appreciate your lovely voice. And also while appreciating your singing, a little more flow and attention to the subtle nuances of Rafi saab would have made this marvellous. Congrats for your excellent attempt!

Sridhar ji, sorry for being late… :)
Excellent rendition, and very good effort from you! But I'd have to agree with Harshan's pointer that there are a few words where you've stressed on some syllables more than needed… :) galat nahi hai, par sunte hue thoda bhari lagta hai….:) Aur 2nd stanza ke high registers pe voice thoda sa strained laga, par poore effect mein jyaada asar nahi hua… :)
enjoyed it!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"I fell in the love with the design when I saw it online, and after receiving a sample - I knew it was the one I wanted! The paper is very elegant and feels expensive! I love this romantic autumn card!"
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"This card was wonderful! The colors are exactly as shown, and the printing is rich and of good quality. The textured paper adds a nice touch that makes the card look and feel classy. The paper is thick and durable. I ordered mine with rounded edges, which I think makes them look simple and beautiful. Great product all around!"
"I love how any color you put on this invite looks beautiful. The printing and paper quality are wonderful. I have made my own invitations in the past and wish I knew about these guys before!"

I knew I had to buy a copy as soon as I saw it on the magazine stand: the issue of Time Magazine with Presidential temperament as the front cover story. They even had four presidential faces on the cover, which, before examining them, made me think of previous explanations of temperament using the Four Presidents on Mt Rushmore:
Unfortunately, the cover story (though excellent) treated temperament from a Nine Characteristics perspective rather than a Four Temperaments perspective in a way similar to this Slate article or some recent blog posts regarding presidential personality type.
Yet at least the Time cover/article got me looking for and reading those posts, because the authors guessed slightly different temperaments from each other, and I found the differences illuminating.
But before discussing the blog authors' picks, my personal predictions were SP/Spontaneous for fiery, action-oriented McCain, NF/Humanistic for idealistic and emotionally intelligent Obama, and NT+Judging/Competitive for sharp-minded and power-hungry Hillary Clinton.
So here's how the experts typing matched up with mine:
And here's what you can take away from the misperceptions and disagreements surrounding presidential candidate typing:
1. Myers-Briggs Preferences (and Temperaments) are just that: preferences.
People are adaptable and can develop or use weaker sides of their personalities – and may even prefer to use them in a given situation. Introverts, for instance, all have an auxiliary personality that they use for social situations or work. Johnny Carson was a legendary introvert, but hardly came off as one during The Late Show.
So too could an NT politician learn to speak empathically about deep emotional issues and learn to champion inclusive policies. Or conversely, NF's are more than capable of adopting an NT mindset when the need for tough-minded leadership decisions arises. Hence the NT/NF disagreement over an emotionally savvy, but also emotionally flat "no drama" Obama.
And it's also why Future Now analyzes buying behavior in terms of "buying modes," rather than assuming that buying mode will line up with temperament preference. No one buys accounting software spontaneously, and even the most hard-headed and practical of us have been known to make spontaneous purchases on vacation.
2. Knowing how temperament preferences overlap – and where they differ – is important
Why would one person see an SJ/Methodical when another sees an NT/Competitive? Well because both temperaments have a strong preference for logical decision-making. And an NT with a strong Judging preference, like Hillary's INTJ personality type, can come off as an organizer – reliable and sufficiently detail-oriented to fool you into thinking they have a methodical temperament*
So what does this mean for your Website/copy?
Rather than pushing copy or messaging styles onto visitors, it's best to cover all the temperaments persuasive needs according to the "fast up top and slow down bottom" layout method. That way you can let visitors self-select the copy and links that most appeals to them without worrying about improperly typing them. You can get a sense of how these temperaments interact with a page by reading Howard's analysis of Jakob Nielson's eyetracking study.
Conclusion: Put Copy for Fast Decision Makers Up Top and Slow Decision Makers Down Bottom
So the default copy organization for most pages will include copy, links, and calls to action intended for competitive and spontaneous temperaments (your fast decision makers who are less likely to scroll and spend the time to examine the entire page) up top, and copy more suited for methodical and humanistic temperaments (slower decision makers who will examine the entire page) below that.
For instance, if you have an NT/competitive who follows a link intended for Methodicals, the page he lands on will still have some bottom-line or big picture copy at the top of the page and a call to action appropriate for his temperament. And if that particular competitive keeps reading, well, he may just be in a more Methodical Buying Mode. No big deal – as long as your pages are set up properly.
And that's what I took away from the recent spate of articles and blog posts on Temperament and MBTI.
P.S. If this stuff interests you, I highly recommend that you check out this free audio book.
* For the record, what probably should have pushed Yoffe away from typing Hillary as an SJ, is that she is very much an ideologue. Her political stances were sharply radical when she adopted them and required something of a philosophical bent to arrive at. She didn't enter politics by being an outstanding administrator; she entered politics because of a commitment to her political theories and ideas. Plus, her career as a lawyer indicated an NT preference over SJ.

Well I have to get this copy too! Wow, this does sound interesting, I think temperament matters a lot! A hell lot!
I think many false decisions were made because of the lack of temperament. Need to read this.
Besides getting me to think about my own NTness you've really opened up a whole new ballgame when it comes to copy.
I may think about this if I have the courage.
I found this to be extremely interesting. I will have to go get a copy of Time for myself too.
Interesting! In the work I been doing on Temperaments in the last year, I've had Hillary pegged as an NT in the presentations I give. Excellent point you make about these being PREFERENCES… a good reminder for all of who try to teach the basics to business owners and marketers!

Anyone going into sales or marketing should take the Myers-Briggs. Understanding personalities is key to a successful presentation and closing process. But as a citizen, I don't feel that temperament should be a major factor in who I vote for – there are more important issues that should be examined and factored into your decision. But thanks for the post!
I disagree. Appealing to all temperaments is completely unnecessary.
Every person is a 'product.' Our friends choose us, just as our partners/wives/husbands choose us.
They choose us for who we are. And who we are in relation to who they are.
If you're an extrovert, you'll find that your partner is more than likely to be an introvert, or at least less keen to meet people than you.
You'll find this common amongst your friends too. You'll find people of different temperaments calling you their friend.
So what did you do?
Did you change your temperament for each friend? Do you keep changing your temperament for your partner, depending on the mood?
I think not.
The easiest role to play is the role we're most comfortable with. That role polarises people. There are those who love you for who you are, and those that can't stick you.
And yet, you attract enough people in your life, no matter what your temperament.
We've never written our pages to appeal to a broad spectrum and you can see for yourself that you'll instantly (and I mean instantly) like or detest us when you get to our site.
You don't need to package yourself. In fact, you need to 'un-package' yourself and your company. Bring out the real DNA of who you are, instead of appealing to every one.
Try being true to yourself.
It works.
Not to say the other system doesn't work, but being true to yourself is a lot less hard work. And far more consistent.
I have to take issue with what Sean posted. I think temperments are a very useful tool in designing web copy. I'm sure we can use such a tool without pretending to change ourselves or be someone else. It just makes sense to me that this is another tool for putting myself (INTP) in my customers' shoes and attempting to communicate in a way that they can hear the message better, or more clearly. I don't think of this as trying to appeal to everyone. No matter what our temperment we probably all buy a lot of the same stuff: books, cars, newspapers, stationery, you name it. So my question is, in what situations does temperment play a more critical role on a web site? Should we plan to use it in some situations more than others?
I wasn't expecting anyone not to take issue. But there are other ways of putting yourself in your customer's shoes.
What we try to do on websites is appeal to half a dozen temperaments. And usually conversion increases when you take a crappy web page and give it some direction (with or without temperaments). But if you told me that you needed a specific temperament to get conversion, then that's not what we're seeing.
We clearly don't want all customers. We're clearly attracting customers who suit the temperament we're putting out.
Too many businesses are trying to second-guess their customers. Customers have a clear 'want factor.' Deciphering the want factor is (at least to me) more important than having to work out a temperament.
If the right want factor is put out to the customer, they'll convert, even if at first it doesn't suit their temperament.
Roger & Sean,
OK, so here's my take on your respective comments:
Sean is right that there are times when you might actually need to create an "anti-persona" – someone who you do NOT want as a customer and who you want your copy to actively discourage or drive away. Roy Williams calls this "choosing whom to lose"
Sean is also right that building your brand appeal around your core identity means that you can't be all things to all people.
But I also believe that Sean confuses the issue on two points that Roger briefly touched upon:
1) Communicating your core appeal in the preferred language and style of a given temperament is NOT a form of false packaging, nor is it in any way an erosion of who you really are.
Take Sean's example of have multiple friends of differing temperaments and imagine planning a group trip to the beach. Depending on the particular friend you are talking to, you might pitch the idea in different ways, based upon what you know that person finds most appealing and persuasive. So does this common sense approach require you to change what you're selling (a beach trip) or to fundamentally change who you are?
Answer: only if you have a severe personality disorder or are some type of politician.
2) Choosing whom to lose normally doesn't mean disregarding an entire temperament. It would be extraordinarily rare for a company to decide that they were ONLY going to market to Competitives, or even that they had absolutely no desire to work with Methodicals.
While a product category may dictate that, for example, Spontaneous are unlikely to shop in their preferred mode while buying network storage solutions, that's usually more the exception than the rule.
What's more likely is that, as a consultant, you'll make a decision to only seek business with clients who are looking to form longer-term partnerships/alliances, and that you want to actively drive away transactional clients. Great! But which temperament does that line up with? Possibly any of them!
Yeah, Humanistics are more likely to shop relationally, but ANY of the temperaments can shop relationally, and you'd do yourself a huge disservice to stop talking to the other three temperaments based on a decision to target relational customers.
- Jeff
Oy, what are you doing Jeff? Appealing to two temperaments?
I guess I have to admit it's what we do, though we call it 'safe zone.'
[...] just means they wanted 4 judges, and not necessarily that they wanted the judges to line up with the 4 temperaments. But when you look at the roles and personalities of the judges, the overlay with the [...]
I want to see a followup time article in 4 years to see what their opinion is after the first Obama term!
and now we all the the original temparament and the intentions from all selected ppl. and we know, at least that one head is always alternates.
It makes sense to try to appeal to as many people as possible. I don't see the argument for the opposite.
I think this is a great point. I guess having options to catch different eyes is what we all should be doing.

HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - Authorities say that there was only bumps and bruises to a Holland trucker, but morning commuters had to find a different way to get into the Tulip City from Holland's North Side after a semi loaded with parts from the JCI plant went onto its side just south of the River Avenue Bridge. It is believed that driver John Williams may have attempted the sharp turn from the bridge onto Pine Street at too fast of speed and lost control of his rig, striking a tree and causing it to tilt down to the left. It took crews over three hours to clean up the scene and fully reopen the road. Williams was ticketed as a result of going too fast for the conditions.
