== Type Descriptions ==
I just deleted the descriptions on all of these personality types. A lot of them were copyvios from different sources, several of them being from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/ , where they may or may not have been copied from other locations. Nonetheless, the three theories of MBTI, Keirsey Temperaments, and Socionics are quite different and require different descriptions of types, functions, relations, and other concepts. Socionics especially differs from the other two. The three theories should all be expanded upon in Wikipedia, but it is impossible to do this while there is a conglomeration of these three theories and they are treated as one and the same.

== Famous ESFJs ==
I strongly recommend that this section be deleted. The information may be fun, but it has no place in an encyclopedia. There's no factual basis for the claim that William McKinley, for example, was an ESFJ. Such unscientific speculation is fodder for skeptics. It screams 'pop psyschology' and casts doubt on the integrity of the entire system. A link to the Keirsey site would make the information available to interested readers without undermining the validity of this article.
If you feel you must include it on the Wikipedia site, it should be under the Keirsey role variant (Provider) rather than the Myers-Briggs type. Speculation about a person's type is considered unethical in Myers-Briggs. [[User:ThreeOfCups|ThreeOfCups]] ([[User talk:ThreeOfCups|talk]]) 02:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
