I totally agree. When I think of people, personality is what I think about. And personal habits. When I think of skin color its as part of their appearance. This person always wears a Hispanic hat. This person has a big stomach. This person always has perfect hair. This person …. For parents who are getting children off to school at 7:30, the person who sleeps til noon, is a pain. Kids make a lot of noise in the morning, as well as parents coaxing them along. Yelling on all three sides. > But I don't think you'd put on your website "approximately 12% of residents > are aggressive, 8% are docile, 16% are perfectionists,…" But on a daily basis this is what will drive new peopled nuts one way or another so it would be more appropriate. But how to count? Self described, I think. One person said to me just a few years ago that he is always angry. Always. I always thought he was very laid back. The results I would like to see are 98% have never thrown a chair across a room in a meeting. 65% have never yelled in a meeting. 78% have never pounded the table in a meeting. 32% have never made a face in disgust when someone else expressed their opinion in a meeting. 45% have never been in the kitchen. 83% of parents have never straightened up the kids room. 72% have never parked in the wrong parking space. Can you live with that? After almost 16 years, most of us do without any long term problems. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
