Same here...I had to take breaks for the parts I did give information on.

It was, thanks. You answered every part.
I could add your socionics or MBTI type if you know that, but I don't intend to actively look for correlations for that, only to glance at it if I suspect a correlation to it from the survey responses.


I didn't get answers from you for 16, 20, 29, or 31. But I have the rest of your answers entered.
