I was pointed to this interesting study about Meyers-Briggs personality types and giftedness. I had never made that connection before, but I find it to be intriguing:

In this study, the author synthesizes results of studies about personality types of gifted adolescents. Fourteen studies were coded with 19 independent samples. The total number of identified participants in original studies was 5,723. The most common personality types among gifted adolescents were “intuitive” and “perceiving.” They were higher on the Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Perceiving dimensions of the personality scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) when compared to general high school students. Also, gifted adolescents differed within the group by gender and by ability. Based on the findings, the author discusses teaching practices for gifted students according to their personality preferences.

Of course, if you wanted to keep participation low here, forcing folks to login so often would do it.

Thanks for the update, Swampcat. I know it's a pretty big bug, and the devs have been talking to the phpBB guys about it. I'll check in with them, though, and see where they are with things.
